Luke Faulkner Maybe you can upload your weekly compositions to something like soundcloud or any other platform where you can upload them instantly if you don’t upload them to youtube weekly.
@@mateuszloniewski I've considered uploading the sheet music to my website each week as a potential solution. Not sure about SoundCloud etc., as the recordings take place at the same time as filming anyway.
Hi there dear Luke, beautiful composition, having known the green lush of those forests, I have imagined myself walking there and listening to your soft and relaxing piano music. Wish you a Merry Christmas and successful 2023. You deserve it all. Teresa.
I have just known about you by hearing your art in a music compilation. I could not avoid coming here and telling you how lovely your songs are... They are so enjoyable, so peaceful and inspirational that I am sure I will listen to you quite often. You should have lots of fans behind you who were grateful for your creations. It is such a pity people do not appreciate you as much as you deserve. Keep on sending those special feelings, I have already missed them many days through my life and now it is time for a change. I never write to autors, neither singers: I hope that can make you feel as lucky as I feel right now. Our thoughts make us stronger, and your piano music is fueling them right now. This calm must be what you are talking about, we do not need to be perfect - or even literally symmetric - to be complete and full of life. I hope receiving soon a new notification with a new song from you. Thank you very much, Luke! Lots of love from Spain.
This is so achingly beautiful, Luke. Thank you. It made me think of walking in my favourite forest, and of the article I just wrote on the history of ‘Pteridomania’ (‘Fern Madness’!) - the craze for fern collecting that hit the U.K. in the 1800s
Your music sounds like the breeze rustling the leaves. You sound like a lonely, somewhat melancholic pianist here, but surrounded by nature and absorbed in your calm, soothing music, you must be a happy-at-heart young man. I know how hard, stressful, long and endless work playing music is, but you are also composing your original pieces! They are lovely, peaceful, and also make the listeners feel like sharing their time in the forests. My most favorite combination is nature and music. And you put them togetherwith your talent and creativity. I can't wait to hear more of it. Am so thankful to you, Mr. Faulkner.
When I was young, my grandpa owned a little patch of land out in the country. My family lived in the city, but we spent a great deal of time out there, and I could always be found in the surrounding forest. I'd get lost for hours upon hours alone out there. It was truly something special. That property is long gone, and I have no way to return to that forest, but this song takes me right back to those lovely days.
Luke, my man. You're the first composer/pianist that I got to acquaint myself with, and it was through your channel that I learned of other composers of yore, simply by how you bring those compositions to life. Man, your piano skills are God-given. It's almost as if I can feel every emotion, every thought, every contemplation and every imagination woven into each note. Thank you, Luke!
I like your new method of using videos instead of pictures. It makes you feel what you want us to feel. It’s a whole new journey that I’d want to go on endlessly.
I enjoy making films very much! I will probably experiment with a few other ideas too at some point - I’d love to work with an animator, for example :)
Discovered your channel yesterday and had to stop what I was doing for about an hour and just listen. Incredible music! Looking forward to following you for a long time!!
So peaceful. And my god, walking this beautiful countryside! Just watched the wanderer video, and here, wisterias bloom. 🤍 I miss summer. May we all get the chance to get lost in beautiful green forests again soon. ☀
I love this song so much. It's incredible how much it is able to translate a feeling that is so hard to put into words. I've obviously bought your sheets and now I am going to try to learn it on the piano too :)
Luke, I LOVE the art of improv and so glad you posted this! Improv reveals the true soul and conveys the deep moods of the moment so very well!! Who needs 4/4 time for an improv....haha ;-)? Best to follow your instinct always :-) I love where your mind and fingers have taken us. The setting/atmosphere is so serene and beautiful, too. There is nothing like being amidst the beauty of Mother Nature to inspire us! BRAVO! ~Jackie
Thank you Luke! all the way from Mexico, I am so glad I found your music. I listen to you every day now. The artist within you exhales with every piece. You are a great example of pursuing the voice inside us that wants to speak through art.... Thank you!
WOW! I really love this one, Mr. Faulkner. Thank you. It's so beautiful I bought the sheet music, even though I have no idea how to play the piano. I figure if I just put it on the piano, maybe my son will see it and get interested (he was a fairly accomplished piano player in his youth). Wish me luck with my devious plan, LOL.
I just discovered your orchestrations and since I am a lover of classical compositions (as well as a clarinet player) I have fallen in love with your music. You have a truly talented gift. I look forward to hearing more of your music in the future.
Wow lovely piece Luke. Once a month definitely works for me. You don't have to feel so much pressure then to deliver, and we get even higher quality videos and music :) This made me so relaxed, I loved your video but half way through I closed my eyes and imagined scenes from movies with your piano over the top. Your music would fit so well to many movie scenes etc.
Your music is amazing, Luke! While there are many classical composers, it's very seldom to find one whose music whisks you right away into another world. Yours does. Thank you for making such peaceful and inspiring music, our world needs more music like this. Bravo!
just appeared on my recommendations after somedays of me thinking that,what is this tone which I am not able to recall..i was like this was so integral tone of my childhood..why am i not able to recall it And here today it came on recommendation!!🤗🤗
Very early August morning I am sipping coffee looking out my north view window. A bit somber yet refreshing and harmonious with your video. The tune is gently marvelous.
I'm in love with this piece. Simply cannot stop to listen it. I feel like there are few unfinished threads. I could listen it not for 5 minutes but much longer. Thank you
Someday, I'm going to tour the British countryside myself and see all of the beautiful scenery you've shown us for myself. I'm rather excited to see what you would make in a month's time rather than a week! I really love the different shades of greens and yellows the trees have along with those wide stretches of emerald grass. The forests and grass are rather nice here in California, but it just isn't the same when you have to walk on the worn out trails. It's so rare to find an area of grass to walk in and even then it's a small patch I dare not run in for fear of pitching off the mountain. Tomorrow I'm actually going on a camping trip to see the night stars for the first time in the desert and then to a snowy retreat by a lake. How's the night sky over there? Have you ever considered filming at night outside?
Sounds idyllic, Cindy! There's very little light-pollution here, so you can see the stars clearly. However, my camera isn't particularly sensitive to low light, so would probably struggle to capture the night sky.
I love this. The free flowing time-signature is amazing. Take all the time you need with these videos! Quality over quantity. I'll listen no matter what :-)
I have always loved piano, as it makes me feel something that can't be described, nameless emotions of great extent that come from the arrangement of notes on a page. And as I find you and your music, the empty voids of myself become filled with unexplainable feelings that are not found elsewhere, and only one word comes to my mind when listening to your arrangements. Beautiful.
I keep returning to listen this composition, it's the one that made me discover your work and it is like the begining of a musical journey for me, I can feel the depth of the forest, the wind in the foliage, a glimpse of a deer, a bird taking of ... Magnifique
This is the reason why i started playing piano at 34. So incredibly calming and wonderful. I'm probably not able to play this, but i will try my best! Also, that piano is beautiful!
Keep with persistence! You can do it, no matter age, its just what you feel. Music isn't suppose to be a challenge, it's a journey. Maybe the hardest type of music, is the music from your heart.
Your piano has a really humble sound. Almost as if it cast away all trappings of aesthetic in favor of total submission to its player, who does a brilliant job, by the way.
This piece was the first one of yours that really caught my ear and it remains one of my favorites to this day. Not sure why..the calm mood, yet complex harmonies? The repeating melody? Simply because it's very familiar? Anyway, thank you for all the beautiful music!
I'm not really use to comment, but here I had too That was the first music I hear from you Just overwhelming and soothing I will definitly listen to your others works
Newest sub... I love your seamless melding of visual and audio expression around a pianocentric axis. Your easy virtuosity is a given; I'm drawn in by your creative synergy.
I love this piece so much! Just ordered and received a download copy and I can’t wait to start working on it. I’ll be playing it for a program next spring.

merci pour ce cadeau
Do a parody on poodle rockers. Wear a headband and smash a cheap second hand keyboard. And do some growling.
@@plywoodcarjohnson5412 Haha, I asked for ideas but didn't expect to strike gold so soon! Love it 😂
If this song isn’t played at my funeral, I’m not going.
i’m betting the place is dead. 😂

Wish you a Merry Christmas and successful 2023. You deserve it all. Teresa.
I absolutely agree with you. Quality must be preferred over quantity. That's how things get better. Take your time and release by the old pattern.
Exactly, you got a bullseye!
I was stressed 5 minutes ago but now i feel very calm and refreshed thanks to you Luke! Thank you very much!

First ever piece of piano music full of parallel fifths that i appreciate.
Some lovely and very original harmonies in this piece that truly are evocative of the peacefulness within the forests. I am inspired 🌹❤
Thank you, Janno - I'm glad you enjoyed it!
This sounds just like how I’d imagine a forest would sound. This is very nice music, unlike I’ve heard before.
Please put this one on Spotify! Such a beautiful song!!
Luke without a doubt your songs are the best I have never heard anything like this before.
When I was young, my grandpa owned a little patch of land out in the country. My family lived in the city, but we spent a great deal of time out there, and I could always be found in the surrounding forest. I'd get lost for hours upon hours alone out there.

I somehow hear a small taste of ''colors of the wind'' from Pocahontas in this, mesmerizing!
I love this one! Your compositions are always fantastic for piano music lovers!! I think one day you're gonna be a famous musician :)
Not think, he will! Next Hamelin?
Luke, my man. You're the first composer/pianist that I got to acquaint myself with, and it was through your channel that I learned of other composers of yore, simply by how you bring those compositions to life. Man, your piano skills are God-given. It's almost as if I can feel every emotion, every thought, every contemplation and every imagination woven into each note. Thank you, Luke!
This gives me such a nostalgic feeling of being folded comfortably into nature.
I like your new method of using videos instead of pictures. It makes you feel what you want us to feel. It’s a whole new journey that I’d want to go on endlessly.
I enjoy making films very much! I will probably experiment with a few other ideas too at some point - I’d love to work with an animator, for example :)
Yeah, its nice and more pristine.
La nature et votre composition se marient tellement bien ... douce paix !
Agreed!
I love how the plants are dancing to your music
Discovered your channel yesterday and had to stop what I was doing for about an hour and just listen. Incredible music!
Looking forward to following you for a long time!!
Beautiful composition and conception. Always like your outdoor settings. All the best, James
Thanks very much, James - hope you're well! :)
I like it aswell!
So peaceful. And my god, walking this beautiful countryside! Just watched the wanderer video, and here, wisterias bloom. 🤍
I miss summer. May we all get the chance to get lost in beautiful green forests again soon. ☀
Luke, i can't stop listening to this beautiful composition. I think I cried out my entire soul, and it's healing ❤
Excellent playing!
That is AMAZING! The Tune! The Piano sound! The Video! Everything! The energy flow from this video! I am speechless! Thank you for that! ♥😍

@@LukeFaulkner You're welcome dear Luke! GREAT stuff here....wonderful channel! :-)
I didn't even notice, i forgot... Lmao.
Those forests looks so lovely. I bemoan the reality that an ocean stands between me and being able to enjoy a walk with you through them.
This composition feels like mother nature showing its force and delicacy at the same time. So beautiful *_*
Thank you Luke! all the way from Mexico, I am so glad I found your music. I listen to you every day now. The artist within you exhales with every piece. You are a great example of pursuing the voice inside us that wants to speak through art.... Thank you!
Thank you for your kind comment!
Im so calm and relaxed....thank you sir!🌸
Glad you enjoyed it, Antigona!
You help me relax during writing novel. So calm and I could barely think that I'm on the real forest even though I'm not.
This is amazing. I love the music, the scenery, the editing, everything! Keep it up sir
Thank you, Hussein!
A lullaby for my troubled heart- the musical "flow"; it just meanders- through the Forest(s).
It's flow is astonishing, it keeps its consistency throughout.
Pretty setting, surrounding accompanying starry melody ❤️👌✨Beautiful so dreamy 💐✨💫🌈
It's an Idyll, like Indian Summer. Lovely. There still is time, just changes a lot. Love it!:)
I feel like I'm flying over the trees of a forest :)
Thanks for your incredible work
Beautiful.
Absolutely beautiful! I just found this song today and I love it! It makes me feel so calm and peaceful.

Your choice of playing the piano in wonderful scenery is so good! Thank you for calming me down!
Glad you enjoyed it! :)
The scenery is so nice.
Your music is amazing, Luke! While there are many classical composers, it's very seldom to find one whose music whisks you right away into another world. Yours does. Thank you for making such peaceful and inspiring music, our world needs more music like this. Bravo!

You should sell merchandise, id totally buy a shirt that said Faulkner with like a piano or something on it, lol. It would be good promotion for you
I agree.

My favorite Luke Faulkner song right now, I'm a new piano player but I hope to play this some day
I'm sure you will - good luck!
I'm not really use to comment, but here I had too
That was the first music I hear from you
Just overwhelming and soothing
I will definitly listen to your others works
Absolutely!
Love your music it sounds so simple and yet when i look at the sheet music i realize i havent a hope in hell of playing it.
Magnificent

Gorgeous as usual Luke, I fell in love with your homage to Chopin video initially and had to buy the sheets, will do the same for this one for sure!
Thanks for saying so! I hope you've enjoyed playing Hommage :)
That might have been my favorite. It's how i found this channel!
oh my god, brilliant.
Thank you!

What I’m wondering is how the sheets don’t get blown away by the wind
Amazing shots and music :)
Thanks, Mateusz! I use Sellotape ;)
