Many years ago I had a dream to write music for film. And though my life went in a thousand other wonderful directions, I like to think my music still carries a bit of that dream.
Most of my work in recent years has been for indie game projects. While my current focus is writing piano meditations on the awe-evoking experiences found within and around Florence, Italy.
If you would like to learn more, please reach out!
Cheers!

last dance | l'ultimo ballo
Просмотров 1521 день назад
Subject: Florence, founded 59 BC The two lovers dance slowly, closely, holding tightly to one another. We don't know their story, only that it is coming to an end. This is their last dance, their final moments together. Time is pulling them apart. They dance in grief and gratitude. Someday I will have my last dance with this amazing and inspiring city-a dance of grief and gratitude. Music by Ro...

Subject: Michelangelo's David, unveiled 1504 You feel the anticipation roiling even before entering the building. You've heard about him and read about him-this icon of history. Now you are about to meet. As you approach, you pass by unfinished masterpieces, but it's difficult to focus on them, with him standing in the light at the end of the hall, politely engaging his other callers. Before lo...

Subject: Ponte Vecchio, est 1345 The energy of the Ponte Vecchio is shaped like the bridge itself, rising to its height at midday. In the pre-dawn morning, the iconic shops that line the bridge are still closed, and the river flows quietly beneath it all, as it has for centuries. Eventually, runners cross over on their daily route, and locals make their way to work. Finally, the shop doors open...

Subject: Gates of Florence, varies 1284-1334 "It's still standing." The thought comes unbidden at the sight of any one of le porte, the great gates and towers still situated around the old city. Though the walls have come down, and they now find themselves standing over streets and crosswalks and bustling shoppers, they stand tall and proud as ever. As if someone forgot to tell them so long ago...

Subject: the Duomo, aka Cathedral of Santa Maria del Fiore, est. 1296 Night brings a stillness to the Duomo. Its staggering heights and facade and green and pink marble by day are all subdued in the darkness. The crowds are gone. The shops are closed. It's just you, walking slowly in its quiet grandeur. But even then, you find it difficult to capture what you're feeling. One moment you're enjoy...

Subject: Loggia dei Lanzi, aka Loggia della Signoria, constructed 1376-1382 As the grey sinews of night slip away, they wake, as they have done countless mornings before. The play is about to begin again. Power, beauty, struggle, anguish. The world will come to them in a few moments, and though time has left its mark, they greet each day proudly to share their stories with it.

Subject: San Miniato al Monte, est. 1018 Your visit to San Miniato al Monte yields a rich tapestry of experiences: the climb to the top of the hill; the Basilica's stunning facade; medieval chants of the Olivetan monks; deep golden hues; poignant frescoes; a surprising and beautiful crypt. You are energized by the variety and contrasts you discover. Yet, even buzzing with energy, it is understo...

Subject: Piazzale Michelangelo, est. 1869 From the height of the Piazzale, the red tile rooftops of Florence are a choppy sea of terracotta. Jutting through the surface are the city's most iconic monuments, towering over the rest-islands of grandeur. As the sun sets, amber light bounces from house to house, building to building, and the sea undulates. Eventually, as the sun slips behind the wes...

Subject: Arno River Everpresent, Mostly calm. Rarely angry. Often reflecting in its surface the astonishing city it watched being built and has accompanied for centuries since. The Arno flows gently by, through, and under the proud monuments of men, without judgment or sermon. A simple reminder that time flows on.

Subject: Museo Marino Marini Entering the Museo Marino Marini, you are immediately struck by the intense contrast between the museum's smooth, contemporary elegance and the rough-hewn, muscular, and primitivist sculptures it contains. Marino Marini's work spans much of the 20th century, expressing an emotional gamut, from the solemn melancholy and wisdom of le donne (women) to the exuberance of...

This is a rare work-in-progress video showing how the piece, evening reverence, is coming together. I chose this piece at this stage because it is reasonably illustrative of my composition process.

Hello Robert Killen! Thanks for the videos. *Snow Falling Slowly* ...etc Christmas is an inspiring time! Here's a Christmas greeting for you. Here are the feelings of my heart this Christmas 2024. ruclips.net/video/xH-mH7XBIiE/видео.html Kindly Maijaliisa Hiekkanen singer, writer, songwriter, from Finland.
@@maijaliisahiekkanen5096 - Thank you for the kind words, Maijalisa. And for your own, lovely holiday music❤ Merry Christmas!
☃️ Wonderful piano performance, Robert !
Thank you, Hanna, for the very kind words. I should clarify that I am a composer, and that my "performance" is virtual. I do work hard to make it sound live. But I wouldn't want anyone thinking I'm trying to fool them. I'm just trying to write beautiful music. Best wishes to you this holiday season!❄🎄⛄
Very interesting ! Good job, Robert ! 🩵
Beautiful. I like the changes you made.
Beautiful Robert. I am so grateful that you and Carey and Darryl and Robin can live and expieience these places at this point of your life. It must be comforting to be surrounded in architecture and places that have endured for so long and now seem to be flourishing. It gives us all hope that someday just maybe the world will get better for mankind and peace a beauty will encompass all of humanity. If was that praying type that would be my prayer.
^_^
Thanks Robert. That was very nice and appropriate. My shop was not as messy as the one pictured tho.
Thanks for the chuckle. That is awesome!
You are one talented bad dude!
Far out!! I didn't know you had blues in your sole. Good job guys. If Santa gets wind gets this he will probably avoid Cogburg entirely.
