This piece began like any other, I was sitting down at the piano, and some ideas came into my head. I stored these ideas, and left the piece for a while.
I started work on it again soon after my grandfather died. Through this piece, I was able to look back and see the good times I’d had with my grandfather, and accept that he’d gone forever. This was my way of saying “good-bye” to him.

This was the first solo piano piece I wrote. It’s based on a simple chord progression, and is simply melodic variations of this progression.

This piece was written to tell the story of an old man’s near-death experience. The opening section portrays the fight to keep him alive, and his “death”. As the man drifts further and further away from his life, he sees pictures of the things that have happened in his life until this moment - he sees “Memories of Life”. Soon, the man sees a light from the heavens, which he is pulled away from when the fight to save his life is finally successful.
