- Waiting For WesleyI teach piano. While waiting in the studio for a young student, Wesley, I doodled. Always having the DAW recording, this piece emanated. What you hear is the actual doodle. It's how I was feeling at the time, calm, relaxed, just chilling and getting my mind ready for a fun, stimulating and creative session. Mentally preparing.4 min
- Sonyow Hwans with a Celtic LiltI love the sound of a cello and wanted to create a piano/cello piece . My heritage is Celtic and I hadn't heard a piano/cello arrangement flavoured by this so I created one. I wanted to emphasis the beauty, melancholy and expressiveness of the cello's tone so created a minimalist piano piece for a haunting melody to compliment. The cello responds to the piano but rather than following weaves its own path, the instruments intertwining.5 min
About James Hawken
From the publisher's feed
Born and raised in the clay villages of Cornwall, I first sat on a stool at a piano aged 7 and started classical training. At 12 or 13 I started teaching myself to play modern rock/pop piano and by…
age of 14 became a semi-pro. The main live project has been a duo called 'The James Brothers' playing covers in pubs and clubs (although we have written a couple of country songs which we also love to play). We continue to enjoy the live experience. Having performed, across Britain, Europe and Ireland for 40 years I'm now concentrating on creating and releasing piano based music to chill, soothe and relax. The inspiration for the new music emanates from artists such as Max Richter, Olafur Arnalds and Ludovico Einaudi. I've taken the sound and created music incorporating my own feeling and expression.
