Heartfelt and Emotional.

<p>This year is about to end and with that I look back on the months of 2010 as being some of the saddest of my life. 2010 is the year I lost my father, whose wisdom and warm kindness helped me throughout life and especially during my own ordeal with life threatening cancer.<br /><br />We all deal with loss in different ways, as many of us have lost loved ones.After saying our last goodbyes we go on about our routines, because life goes on. It is hard, but life goes on.<br /><br />My Dad absolutely loved my music compositions. It is something he always wanted to do himself, so I composed with him always in mind.i always looked to him for approval of some of my works, like the popular tracks "Eastern Promise", and "Another Day". You could tell when he really liked a piece because he would be playing it in his room Saturday mornings when he arose and straightened things up. He especially admired many of my string arrangements (like "Another Day", which some have called hauntingly beautiful).&nbsp; If he wasn't moved by a piece then he simply did not play it.&nbsp; If he was moved, then he would mention that particular track on occasions more so then the others. it was a good way for me to gauge some of my works ,because his opinion was very important to me.<br /><br />So for a few months this year I didn't compose anything. I had no inspiration. Then I came across some works that I started and never finished, or works that simply weren't clicking with me.&nbsp;&nbsp; Well, I decided to re-work some of the pieces, and finish the ones that I thought deserved to be finished. The compilation of neo classical and ambient new age pieces that make up the upcoming Jan. 2011 release "Solemn", reflect the type of music that my father loved to hear me compose, in the style that many listeners online have embraced as well.<br /><br />"Solemn" comes on the heels of December release "Memories Of You", also dedicated to the memory of Dad. Both albums contain music that (just like classical music) never grow old, or run out of 'style'. They don't follow trends, because I don't. I write and compose in any style of music ,which is why I'll be releasing a jazz oriented R&amp;B CD sometime in 2011 ,( the tracks are already composed) because I can.</p><p>I inherited ny father's love and understanding of all types of music, from classical to swing, new age to soul. I feel that a composer can express more of himself that way, through different channels, and without certain boundaries.<br /><br />So if you're so inclined, do watch out for "Solemn" by The Ken Myers Project in 2011, for some really heartfelt works. Check out <a href="http://www.cdbaby.com/cd/kenmyers4">"Memories Of You"</a> now available at iTunes and the rest ( Including full streaming at Myspace) as it's companion album. You would be in for a really laid back time.</p>
