The best of the best 👏🏻 Magnificent, I mean this song and this performance piano is the climax what we call classical music. Greetings from Ecuator 🇪🇨

@Rael Jones thank you for the reply, I'm interested in different instruments generally, as well as my interest in composers like yourself. A friend of mine has huge collection of weird and wonderful percussion instruments mainly from Africa and India . They are all mainly drum oriented, or primitive things you hit..no strings! And I know of a guy in Eire with a collection of unusual Irish folk type instruments and other things. I don't own or play anything unusual myself I just like hearing new things. I do remember thinking "Hurdy Gurdy" in your music. The classical guitar place I used to go to hang out at in the eighties, and also have lessons was very close to an "Irish Pub". You would see and hear a lot of interesting things there with live impromptu music all the time. Sometimes only a couple of musicians, to well over a dozen joining in, cumming and going. In the future I will put some video online of my new Guitar, in RUclips when I get it.. I only currently have a few videos and photos of it on WhatsApp. Recently I started re-listening to Tim Hecker after watching the depressing drama about the Whaling Ship, called The North Water. He wrote all of the music. I'm into most "minimalist" types of music. I also just watched The Mother, a British film with music by Jeremy Sams , who's music I also liked. I like a Very broad range of music. While typing this I am listening to "The Glowing Man" by SWANS from 2016. I like lots of their recordings, Especially the " big three ' long albums from 2012, 2014, 2016. Earlier I was listening to Omar Rodriguez-Lopez live recordings from some of his recent live recordings . There's one which becomes so off piste with some amazing drumming, without bars , that is somehow held down by the bass player , on RUclips...11 years ago ... My copy and paste.. "Omar Rodriguez Lopez Group Live Los Angeles(WIP) I 916K views · 11 years ago" I guess before my stepdad appeared in 1972 my biggest influences when I was very little, was the vinyl in the house, The Beatles,The Stones , various jazz pianists and classical stuff and West Side Story for some reason.. He brought Roxy Music, Stevie Wonder, Deep Purple, and my biggest influence Pink Floyd...I especially those recordings from 1965-1972(including pre-floyd oddities) , and the ones 1973-1979 I also like a lot with "Wish You Were Here" being my favourite from the second grouping. Sorry, I could go on forever like this. Best Wishes John.

I just wanted to say that I was impressed by the music that you wrote for the film I watched last night "The Toll" and tried to find it, or the score online . But had no success with either. But I have discovered your other Music and thoroughly enjoyed Thumpermonkey ... Live at The Victoria. I played a bit of classical guitar in the eighties and managed to get Grade 8, but now I only play Electric guitar due to stamina problems. I've noticed a strange stringed instrument in a photo which I've yet to investigate, and thought I'd mention that I'm having a guitar built with True Temperament Frets to play more complex harmony on , because I get Very frustrated with the guitar being out of tune with itself. It's taken a long time from researching, design and actually building and should be ready for me to pick up in two weeks. It's been rather interesting with regular photo updates and actually visiting the workshop in June when the neck was carved and the Frets and strings were on, so that I could feel it. It had a general body shape and no electronics. Unfortunately it's several hours drive and i don't travel so well. He's been incredibly patient with me and has serviced one of my guitars, and is doing some major refurbishment to two of my older guitars, when the new one us finished. From the three guitars he's handled, and what I like most about each guitar, plus my sketches and descriptions he got the neck spot on. Start to finish it will have been October 2021- September 2022. Started officially when I paid a significant deposit in November for the rather pricey frets to be made, and so that we could chose the woods needed which were glued and left for a decent amount of time. I'm looking forward to finding out about that odd looking instrument of yours and enjoying listening to much more of your music. Regards John, Hampshire... near to Winchester POSTSCRIPT.....it took a lot of navigation to find again...but what is the bowed instrument that you play in "Clutched Heart" season 2 of Harlots.

I have no words! It is absolutely something unbelievable! I am a fan of your music, Rael! If you have some note sheets, can you share the link? I want to learn to play it as well :D

wow!!!! lovelyyyyyy!!! the version with the orchestra is also incredibly moving !!...

Beautiful, with a sense of dark wonder

@raeljones I ‘found’ you through the score for The Toll. Is the music for this film available as an album?

Are this film

Awesome! Love the sound of the strings with the steel string guitar!

Hermoso

Amazing, thank you for sharing the behind-the-scenes! I'd like to see a video about your Suite Francaise score. Thanks!

Any chance of getting the version of "Talk Tonight" used in the film? Really brought an extra element to the scene it was used in.

I looked you up because of Harlots. What amazing talent! Would you please consider a full length version of Follow the Drum? I get the melody stuck in my head constantly.

you're extremely underrated. i love the work you've done, very eclectic and little tid bits of your influence come out in each thing i hear from you. please keep up the excellent work

where can i find that violin bit. that touched me in the film. Cheers

Gosh darn... I just watched My Cousin Rachel, which I thought was mediocre at best, but the music... The music was lit. That led me here, and Rael is the truth. 👌🏻

Who would down thumb this? Genius.

tricorne was my favorite, thanks very much for the interesting soundtrack

Rael, you talented, talented man, you!

My first message to you: Dear Rael, A few weeks ago I saw, for the first time, the movie "Suite Francaise" that's how I found you. You are amazing,I love this music that helped me to find the answer that I was looking for. My soul is devasted because all the injustices that we lived nowadays, my soul is like "A storm in June". I can't see anymore children and women imprisoned in the refugee camps. These people are so brave and hopefully. I remember the last words that written Irène Nèmirovsky at her daughters and husbend before she was made prisoner. Nowadays we are leaving the third and the fourth chapter of Irène's book but the last one called the "Peace" seems that no one wants to live them. Irène in Greeks means Peace, what a kind of irony! Today, 5th May, the Council of Europe celebrates The European Day with the notes of the anthem of the European Union that is "Ode to Joy" of Beethoven's 9th Symphony and the blu flag with the stars. What a shame! When I listend "I am free", when I saw you playing piano forte it was like a vision of many children faces that you with your's hands caressed them. I have a picture of you that play "I am free" in Idomeni refugees camp, in the night full of stars, with the partiture projected directly on the blu sky. The Irène Nèmirovsky's book was concepted like a symphonic poem in five chapters and I hope that your music will be the answer at the last one. I feel like I found all the pieces of the great dream of our liberty, I have the sensasion that I can see the light of the world that I've promised at my little daughter. With all my love, Paula

You are a Real magician.

This is the music for accompany my letter to an extraordinary teacher.Thank you for this wonderful gift. Lettera aperta alla straordinaria Insegnante Rosa Perrone Carissima sorella, poter utilizzare queste due parole, per me, significa molto. Rispondo a quel invito fatto in occasione della Giornata Mondiale della Lingua Madre da parte di tutti voi, lavoratori per la pace, della grande fabbrica qual è L’Istituto Calò di Ginosa. Parole da salvare, cadute in disuso per noi adulti, nonostante i nostri figli le usino quotidianamente per esprimere i loro sogni per il futuro. Noi donne sappiamo bene che in un mondo diviso fra credenti, creduloni, incredibili od increduli ci spetta sempre il ruolo di essere credibili di fronte alle aspirazioni dei nostri figli. Anche se milioni di obiettori di coscienza ci costringono, spesso, a ingoiare le nostre promesse come fossero una pillola abortiva del giorno dopo. Raccontiamo ai nostri figli che il Mondo è stato creato in sei giorni, ma li neghiamo la possibilità di credere che in altrettanto giorni potrebbe essere anche cambiato. Diamo alla luce un esserino in carne ed ossa ma dentro di noi rimarrà per sempre il bambino che potrà sognare. Ogni volta che imparerà una parola, farà i primi passi o ti prometterà che ti porterà la Luna, sentirà bisogno di abbracciarti con quella consapevolezza istintiva che tutte le sue opportunità vivono protette dentro di te. Ho visto tanta luce negli occhi del alunno che hai accompagnato all’incontro con Samantha Cristoforetti, la prima astronauta italiana protagonista della spedizione FUTURA, e la sua lettera mi ha commosso. Oggi, 12 aprile, si celebra la Giornata Mondiale del Volo Umano nello Spazio, occasione che ricorda il primo essere umano, Yuri Gagarin, che avesse mai contemplato il nostro Pianeta dallo spazio. Oggi più che mai vorrei ascoltare il racconto di Stefano, vorrei incoraggiarlo. Vorrei che anche la mia figlia, amante delle stelle, potesse incontrarlo per pronunciare insieme, all’infinito, le parole più belle del mondo “La Terra è blu……..Che meraviglia!” Incontriamoci in spiaggia, laddove la natura è così generosa con i nostri figli. Incontriamoci laddove niente s’interpone fra loro ed i propri sogni, dove il mare ed il cielo gli prendono per la mano accompagnandoli verso l’orizzonte che si macchia soltanto dei colori dell’alba e del tramonto. Incontriamoci per raccontare la Ginosa Futura. Con affetto, Paula Maria Luca, mamma
