The Still Centre lo-fi hi-fi Buy CD for 10.00 €   Instant album download only 6.00 € You can this whole album for only 6.00 €   It must be Love  play After a symphonic opening, this piece evolves into a lovely, lilting melody which is traded between piano and strings.  The Still Centre  play The birdsong in the park, the roar of city traffic, the flutter of your heartbeat - they're all symptoms of life's eternal longing for itself. Chill out. Relax. Become the still centre of your turning world.  Eclipse  play This orchestral piece conjures up all the drama of a solar eclipse - the hush before the blackout, the eerie calm of darkness in the middle of the day, and then the triumphant re-emergence of that distant sphere on whom our fragile lives depend.  La Tendresse  play A piano piece to help you unwind. Lean your head against the music and let it soothe away the strains and cares of this tiring, troubled world.  John's Song  play This duet for piano and cello is an elegy for my father. He always said he never wanted to be old. He got his wish.  A Snowflake Kissed Your Cheek  play In the silence of the snowfall, a single streetlamp casts a pool of light which seems to freeze the flakes in mid-fall;a young child swirls and turns in the spotlight like a clumsy ballerina in slow motion, arms outstretched, trying to catch a tumbling snowflake on the tip of her tongue.  Monte Alban  play A dreamy piece for flute and synthesiser, which evokes the spiritual calm of the high temple-strewn plateau in Mexico of the same name.  A Fond Farewell  play A nostalgic evocation of that mixture of tenderness and regret which accompanies every parting from someone or somewhere you love ...  Joy of Love  play Sunlight sparkling off the crystal fountains, the faint whiff of jazz in the air, the bounce in your footsteps, the tang of Spring. It's that softness in her eyes that sets your heart soaring ...  Candlelight  play The flickering flame shapes a cocoon of soft light, into which we weave our dreams. An orchestral and choral piece which gradually builds to an inspirational climax.  Francoise  play She's funny, she's pretty, she's wise and impulsive. She's generous, she's witty and she is as tender as the buds in May. This tune's for her.  Dreamwing  play Above the rippling, lapping ocean waves, a sea bird gently glides in ever increasing circles upwards, ever upwards, riding the thermal that will take her home ...  Standing On the Edge of the Universe  play Staring over the rim of the world, poised over the void, sometimes wondering what keeps us all from falling ....  Somewhere Out There  play ... there is a star with your name on it.  Please note:  The MP3 tracks available for download from The Still Centre are high-quality (128kbit).and Shockwave (which is already installed on most computers) is required to do so.
