Since today marks Piano Day (an annual worldwide event founded in 2015 by like-minded individuals, celebrated on the 88th day of the year in honor of the instrument's 88 keys), and considering my connection to this occasion, I couldn't resist marking the day with another release: "Composing Something" (previously released exclusively on my Bandcamp page) is now available on all major streaming platforms:

Philip Glass - Opening [Reworked]
Here is my new interpretation of Opening by Philip Glass.
Rather than recording another straightforward piano performance, I wanted to explore the piece from a different perspective.
What youre hearing is a vintage C. Bechstein Model C grand piano, layered with multiple cello parts performed by my cello buddy, together with textures created using a Yamaha PSR-6 routed through a MOOD pedal by Chase Bliss. The result is less a cover than a reimagining - something that sits somewhere between contemporary classical, ambient, and cinematic music.
🎼 About the music
Opening is the first piece from Philip Glasss landmark 1982 album Glassworks.
Originally conceived as an introduction to the album, it has since become one of Glasss most recognizable piano works. Built from repeating arpeggiated figures and gradually shifting harmonies, the piece perfectly embodies the hypnotic musical language that helped define minimalism.
Glassworks itself occupies a special place in Glasss catalogue. Written not only for concert audiences but also for listeners discovering his music for the first time, the album became one of the defining recordings of contemporary classical music and remains a gateway into Glasss distinctive sound world.
🎧 About the composer
Philip Glass (born 1937) is one of the most influential composers of the last half-century. Together with Steve Reich, Terry Riley, and La Monte Young, he helped shape the minimalist movement, though his music has long since transcended that label.
Alongside his concert works, Glass has composed acclaimed operas and film scores, including Koyaanisqatsi, Mishima: A Life in Four Chapters, The Hours, and Candyman. His influence extends far beyond classical music, inspiring generations of composers working across ambient, electronic, film, and contemporary instrumental music.

Ok, no PDFs for this one (suggested by @ProbablyNoothing — thanks!), so I played it by ear - not precisely - as I didn’t bother tweaking the exact delay settings from the original. Instead, I created my own version using the same chord sequence.
According to ChatGPT, Luminous is a piano composition by TWO LANES, a German electronic music duo consisting of brothers Leo and Rafa Schmid. Released on January 30, 2024, the track is part of their album Duality (Piano Versions), which blends electronic and classical elements beautifully. The piece has been well-received, with listeners praising its serene and emotive qualities. A fan on SoundCloud even described it as “Lovely,” capturing its soothing nature.
