That's me 😎 The story behind this is that I had finished a recording session with time to spare; given I love to improvise, I left the microphones on, sat down, started to play and became immersed. You're listening to the result. There are no scores yet, but I will transcribe them someday and put them online. Most of my compositions start life as improvisations and there are many more on my page if you're interested. Thanks for listening (& reading)!
This brought me memories from a lifetime where I was happy and loving my family, friends, lovers, my pets, I cannot express this beautiful masterpieces, Luke is truly an artist, Thank you and God bless you all
Every time I have to study, I listen to this. Every single time and I never listen to anything else. I am studying medicine, and Faulkner's music always gives me some kind of drive and inner peace, that helps me through the enormous amount of studying I have to do. Thank you!
Hello Faulkner! If alive, my dad would have turned 76 today. It has been a difficult day. However, while working from home and listening to music, I came across your piano improvisations. In particular, I started listening to improvisation n.3 starting at 7:05 where imagery kicked in and it took me back decades where my dad and I use to hang out and have lots of fun. I could not hold my tears. Thank you! It is a beautiful piece of music. I am impressed.
Brilliant!!! These compositions of yours I love to hear day in and day out! They are precious! I have two that are my favorite; though. Thank you so much, Luke Faulkner. You are indeed Brilliant!!!😀☺️
Improvising gives me great joy and satisfaction. I often feel no need to record... it can be therapy just to explore the sounds and feelings as they come and go. I guess it can be like meditation in this way. Let go of the need to control where the inspiration is coming from, and don't get stuck in one musical idea or feeling for too long. Just keep flowing. Keep yourself open. Bravo as always, Luke.
Hi Luke. Thanks. This first piece brings tears to my eyes. Just what I need at the moment. Thanks for using your gift to bless this world. Keep going brother
Thank you for sharing them with your friends, M M! We do hope they enjoyed listening. These pieces were originally released on streaming platforms and digital stores under the title "Improvisations". After a while, though, Luke came up with a title for each piece, and the mini-album can now be found everywhere as "The Midnight Tide". Just thought we'd share, in case you were wondering what happened! 😉 thank you so much for stopping by & we wish you a lovely day!
Thank you for drawing my attention to Swan Song and Equinox which I took a listen to (yet once again!) and especially the improvisatory technique you employed. I'm gobsmacked that such thoroughly "complete" pieces started life as improvisations and from there took form as fully fledged "stand alone" compositions. At the risk of stating the obvious, I assume you hear the music in your head before you put hand to key. In my drama student days when we were expected to improvise we were at times given a few minutes to think about it; at other times we had to jump right in and "create". For me these were always the more successful of the two approaches: fresh and unpretentious. Like YOUR compositions Maestro. Kudos.
So glad that you appreciate Luke's work, thank you! More music by him can be found on Spotify, where you can follow him to keep up with any new releases :)

With these improvisations you are indeed flying without wings. Music to swoon by. In a strange way - and this is a very personal observation which I guess says more about me than about you - it has a muscularity and an almost aggressive masculinity which I haven't noticed in your previous work. This is superb stuff. Thanks. Btw. Agree with the comment below. Love the photo - sophisticated, glamorous ( with a touch of whimsy ! )
Thanks, Danie! Interesting observation - something I'd not considered before. My improvisations tend to be much more visceral than my compositions which, benefiting from time and reflection, tend to be more tempered and distilled. For reference, the only other improvisations online are Swan Song and Equinox.
Luke - I was in a plant nursery today and saw an evergreen shrub: the Buxus microphylla "Faulkner". And I thought: Wow, this must be some kind of a sign ! Then a few moments ago I read your brief comment re:Brilliant Classics' posting of Mike Oldfield's Tubular Bells. I would love it if you could read my reply to you and the one to Brilliant Classics. When can we expect a new Faulkner, maestro ?
Haha, I wasn't aware of the Buxus microphylla "Faulkner" - apparently it has earned the RHS's Award of Garden Merit, so, errr, that's good. (Maybe). Currently listening to Oldfield's Ommadawn after your message to BC. Certainly colourful music with lots of variety! I'm waiting for an animator to finish the backdrop for my next upload (nothing fancy, but more exciting than a standard photo perhaps). It'll just be the first improvisation from this lot, but I've a couple of new compositions I'm in the process of recording and filming which should be out, if not December, then certainly early in the new year! Hope you're well, Danie! :)
Where can I get (or buy) notes? If you dont mind of course, because I really want to play improvisation no.4. I love your music, touching my soul actually! Thank you 💕
I don´t know but I like your style of playing. Do you know Igor Kratovic ? Im learning a piece from him at next where you are the autor of it. The wanderer or the daydream is my next song to pratice. Many thanks for your pieces. I also love (!) to improvise.

Wonderful, enchanting creations. I don't believe its random. Have you written down the music scores?
I must say I really enjoyed the result (and the photo as well)👏🏻👏🏻
This is so beautiful! Thank you so very much for sharing this wonderful work of art.
you are a master. it feels like schubert impromptu!!!!
The photo concept rocks!!! (as the music does too of course😊)

Your music is the best thing I have ever heard, Mr. Faulkner.
god i love him :'( every time i have to study or when i simply want to read a book, i listen to his music. it's incredibly relaxing.
Number 4 made me feel like nothing else has before. Thank you, Mr. Faulkner
I wish this was longer. It's amazing music to study.
More music can be found on Luke's channel and Spotify page, Manuela 😊
This is the most beautiful music I’ve ever heard. Thanks for sharing Luke!
Thank you for listening, Ann! We're glad you like Luke's work (we might be a bit biased but we think he's great too 😎)
What beautiful music, so emotional provocative and comforting. Thank you, this has made a positive mark on my soul.

No. 2 brings me to tears every time!
Your playing is absolutely exquisite.
Hi Luke. Thanks. This first piece brings tears to my eyes. Just what I need at the moment. Thanks for using your gift to bless this world. Keep going brother
Sir Faulkner IMO is one of the best pianists of modern times 🦢🌺 love Khatia Buniatishvili too!! Thanks HalidonMusic🙏
💐 Too much love & support HalidonMusic.
Toda vez que ouço me surpreendo com a mágica disso. Improvisation No. 3 me liberta
아름다워요. 당신 음악을 매일 듣고 있어요. 눈을 감고 듣다보면 나도 자연과 하나가 된 기분이 들어요. 고마워요.
I got goose bumps by this music. This is so beautiful..
I keep coming back to these pieces - so good!
His improvisation sounds better than most of the planned songs of this century
Exactly my thought
These are brilliant compositions Luke Faulkner.
Congratulation ! 💐
I am now sending these compositions of yours to my friends.
Thank you for sharing them with your friends, M M! We do hope they enjoyed listening. These pieces were originally released on streaming platforms and digital stores under the title "Improvisations".

beautiful composition. thank
Your music speaks to the soul in a brilliant, refreshing way!
Love, Love it !! Hearty Thanks, Luke. 🎶🎶🎶🎶❤🌼❤🎶🎶🎶🎶
Buenos días. Gracias Luke, gracias HalidonMusic. Buena música.
studying medicine and listening to piano is my favourite combination
Wonderful.
This is so beautiful! Thanks for sharing it with us.

Haha, thanks Danie! Actually, I had no idea how any of these would turn out going in. I just played some keys and waited to see what they suggested.
Exelente trabajo mi respetable canal preferido HALIDONMUSIC bendiciones para todos!!
This is really good! Better than what I could write let alone improvise.
Lovely selection of notes. Well done Luke
So glad that you appreciate Luke's work, thank you! More music by him can be found on Spotify, where you can follow him to keep up with any new releases :)

Improvisation no. 5 and 4 for me 😩😩✨✨✨😘😘😘⚡️⚡️(and maybe no. 1)
muy bueno esto. un abrazo desde Merlo- Argentina
I'm listening to this music with my self-help and business book called "The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People"
The Bible was the best book I ever read. Best all the other self help books I’ve ever read :)
Lovely!

Hi Deniz, try Luke's own website or send him a message on Facebook 😊
EXELENTE MUSICA GRACIAS.
Incredible... as always, to be fair :)
True, Daniela! He probably couldn't write a bad composition even if he wanted to 😉 thank you for listening!
Einfach affengeil 🔥😎
💪
I don´t know but I like your style of playing. Do you know Igor Kratovic ? Im learning a piece from him at next where you are the autor of it. The wanderer or the daydream is my next song to pratice. Many thanks for your pieces.
I also love (!) to improvise.
I do know Igor - in my opinion his tutorials are the best on yt and I was delighted when he suggested teaching some of my compositions!
@@LukeFaulkner I think the same. Thats why he is my teacher. Im looking forward to hear more of your new pieces.
Faulkner? I hardly know her! Ha! Great vid too
😊
🎶👏🎹
I wonder what happens in your life or what inspires you to make you improvise like this...
