Louis Landon - solo piano music for peace ... is a Solo performing Jazz, Contemporary, and New Age music.
Instrumental music is so powerful its interpretation is left to individual discretion as no two people hear music in exactly the same way. That composers intend their music to speak for itself is no accident, as excellence is a matter of intention. The most definitive bodies of instrumental music incorporate various influences that have evolved through the ages and resonate with sophisticated audiences in such a manner a wide variety of listeners embrace the emotional intent collectively.
Solo pianist and composer, Louis Landon from Chestnut Ridge, New York, has dedicated his life to music. His career has taken him around the world playing a variety of styles with some of the most recognized names in the entertainment industry. Yet, not long ago, Landon realized that his own music - the solo compositions that bring him so much joy and peace could surely bring joy and particularly peace to millions around the world who struggle to cope as unwitting witnesses to unnecessary destruction.
To further his efforts as a peacekeeper and one man making a difference, on June 2, 2008 Landon began recording and posting solo piano Improvs for Peace. He intends to continue doing Improvs for Peace until the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan are over. Landon posts free downloads of the Improvs on his website: http://www.louislandon.com. As of July 18, 144 Improvs have been created, over 12 hours of music! Improvs for Peace support Landon's fervent notion that music can bring peace to the world. Landon writes in his mission statement and the closing to all correspondence: Love and Peace Always and Everywhere.
"… indeed meditative and mellow, [he] sacrifices no musical rigor to achieve those ends. With backgrounds in jazz, Latin music, rock, pop, film composing, and classical piano, Louis brings his breadth and depth of experience to bear here. His playing and compositions are sensitive as they are complex and… a diverse range of influences is more than apparent.” Keyboard Magazine
"He has a gift for composition that is second to none." New Age Reporter
"…for those who like their solo piano music rich and full." Wind & Wire”
Solo Piano for Love, Peace & Mermaids, Landon's 9th CD and 4th solo piano CD, was released on July 14th, 2010. His Improvs for Peace were used as stepping stones for much of the music on this CD. There are also pieces that were written and recorded especially for this project. As a solo pianist for peace, Landon has expanded his mission to create a peaceful and loving world for all life forms and particularly mermaids, who are now classified as an endangered species. Downloads are available at iTunes and Amazon.
Solo Piano for Peace was nominated for the 2009 ZMR Music Awards in three categories: Album of the Year, Best Instrumental Album - Piano, and Best Cover Art by Zone Music Reporter.
