Snowfall

Michael — Wed, 24 Jan 2024 08:00:43 +0000

What does snowfall mean to me? It means waking up in the morning at the cabin and looking out the window to see a fresh blanket of fluffy goodness. This with a steady flow of snow falling to the ground. Imagine that, and the brisk cold that you feel on your skin when you walk outside. That feeling causes you to run back inside; shivering, only to squeeze closely buy the fireplace to get warm. This imagery that I am giving you today, is my story. Each and every one of you have had your own stories one way or another in the snow. Whether you wanted to be in the snow, or if you were caught in a blizzard; most of you know what I am talking about. Snowfall can either be a peaceful bliss, or a terrifying storm. Its unpredictable, and especially unforgiving.

Snowfall encapsulates bringing light and warmth to the dark world that we live in. Even when we are surrounded by a blizzard with no real end in sight, there’s always a light that shines in the darkness and guides us through the storm; I hope this piece has that same effect on the world around me.

Check out what Dizzy O’Brian had to say about Snowfall:

Michael Moore’s latest composition, Snowfall, is a brilliant new short work for piano. It is masterfully performed and well produced. Snowfall uses broken chord patterns to effectively paint a musical picture of falling snow, blanketing the landscape. At the same time, the work stays true to its pure musical idea and the result is a very lovely, listenable work of music. This work is comparable to the piano works of Richard Clayderman in its accessibility and high quality. It’s easy to see that, with this gift for descriptive, melodic composing, that this composer will someday soon make a name for himself in the film scoring industry.

Stay tuned for its official release on February 9th at 10 AM PST. Its accompanied music video will be premiering that same date/time. Make sure you are subscribed so you don’t miss it! Purchase it here.

Waves

Michael — Fri, 21 Oct 2022 19:41:36 +0000

Waves was released on October 21st, 2022, as well as having an accompanying music video that premiered the same day.

I wrote “Waves” back in my undergrad during a time of uncertainty and loss. The juxtaposition of the cello and arpeggiating piano represent a lone voice crying out amidst the rolling sea of life.

You can listen to “Waves” on all platforms (i.e. Spotify, Apple Music, Amazon Music, Tidal, Youtube, etc)

Below is the “Waves” Official Music Video.

What Listener’s Are Saying About Waves…

Michael, this piece is absolutely beautiful. It is very minimalistic, relaxing and soothing. I love the ambient nature of the cello and piano mix. Keep up the excellent work. Looking forward to hearing more from you.
Emmanuel Songsore

Your writing here is lovely – it reminds me of the opening to Gounod’s Ave Maria. Really expansive and emotionally written. I love your use of dissonance, great job!
Ben Inman

This is absolutely stunning. In love with the orchestration, the dreamy piano line, this is very brilliant. Could definitely picture this in a movie.
Kris Cherry

A strong cello presence, over piano, a good combo, an instrumental with a relax-and-float-downstream vibe, with the cello (or viola or violin) adding gravitas… overall like this, good luck…
Steve April

Man… Such a beautiful and relaxing song! If you love the soothing and peaceful vibes of piano and cello, LISTEN. TO. WAVES.
Stephen Bankole-Wright

I love classical music and this is a very nice piece, very soothing.
Shimae Parks

A very beautiful combination. This music takes you somewhere. Doesn’t strain your ears and sounds great. I really liked it. Thanks for the creativity. Do not stop! Good luck to you.
Structure

An absolutely beautiful composition Michael. Well done!

Music and the stories they they tell…

Michael — Sun, 19 Apr 2020 18:59:40 +0000

One of the many things in life that motivates me and speaks for me the most, is music. You can say a thousand words, but all of those words could be just ramblings on a page, or you can create a song that can tell a story. I’m not the biggest fan of public speaking, not even playing in front of large audiences. The pressure can overwhelm me and influence how well I can perform. Of course these fears can be conquered, but it is not as easy as just snapping your fingers.

I found that creating original music, makes it much easier for me to perform in front of people. Since the themes that I write are directly connected to times and seasons of my life, I am much more connected to it. Rather than playing a Classical piece in front of a large audience. It’s so special, because it can illustrate someones circumstance at any point in their life. Adding meaning and depth to it in the process. What would once just sound dull and boring, is now a masterpiece. Defining that life for others to see in a digestible fashion is my goal.

The biggest hurdle in the music industry right now, is how difficult it is to capture the hearts of the younger generation. Whose attention’s spans are evermore dwindling away day by day. It’s my goal as a modern-day composer to find new ways to reach that demographic, and share relatable stories across the board, through music.

Here at Moore Music, stories are the foundation to everything done, whether that be for picture, or for a song. If you’d like to see some more of the stories that I tell, check out my YouTube channel! Let me help you tell your story through my music.
