I have come to know instrumental piano music on a very intimate
level. And because I hear so much of it, every new release has to be excellent
and hold my attention. The magic has to be evident within the first few tracks
or that special feeling I get, the wonder and amazement of what I am hearing,
just falls short.
Louis Colaiannia is a veteran of
recording with several albums behind him and his name is well known in the
circles of new age music. He is part of that special community of artists that
are connected in so many ways, contributing to each other’s releases like
family. So, I am one of the fortunate ones that have been invited into that
circle to listen to some amazing music year after year.
Louis just released Contemplation a few
weeks ago to kick off the new year. Before listening, you must agree that word
sparks a lot of interest. So, what does Contemplation mean
to you? To be able to reach that level of concentration and thought process you
must be accompanied by some soothing instrumental music, music so engaging and
beautiful that it sweeps you away to another plane of existence or
consciousness. This all must happen effortlessly and with joy. I can say
without a shadow of a doubt, that this will happen listening to the music of
Louis Colaiannia.
The one track that set me on the
right course was the second offering titled “Gentle Rain.” I immediately added
it to my New Age Music Reviews Spotify Playlist that is on the sidebar of my
site for listeners and artists alike to enjoy. The track was like musical rain
inviting me to take a walk, as the drops of music and melodies consumed my
entire being. There is beauty in those ivory keys and it takes some coaxing to
get that out and be realized fully by the artisan playing the instrument.
When I hear musicians like Louis
Colaiannia perform it’s like I am hearing a specific individual that was
delivered from heaven above to bring joy and healing to everyone willing to
listen. I am more than willing; I feel it has become such an essential healing
tool of my life that I could not live without it at this point. If you are not
involved in a particular discipline like Yoga for instance, or you do not have
the focus or patience to meditate, listen to this music. I think Contemplation can
help you down that path if you so choose or you can just listen and soak it all
in and just let it flow and happen. That is what I do, and I am very grateful
for this art and how it has helped me to listen and have the ability to express
what it does for me in words others can understand.
Contemplation is beauty and elegance
personified by Mr. Louis Colaiannia. The elements of classical, contemporary
and new age are a perfect match for the ten tracks you will hear in this
transformational listening experience. It is a must-have collection of songs
for any appreciator of solo piano music.
