Welcome to a journey of tranquility through music.
In this episode, we're privileged to introduce a special guest—an accomplished and talented musician who crafts melodies that embrace stillness and calm.
Music's power to evoke emotions and create peaceful moments has always fascinated me. Today, we're delving into the world of music for serenity, featuring the gifted Richard Goldsworthy.
Richard's compositions are a beautiful blend of simplicity, all created on a resonant Grand Piano. His music possesses a unique ability to quiet the mind and bring profound peace.
In this episode, we'll explore Richard's journey as a musician—how he discovered his passion for crafting calming music. We'll dive into the experiences that have shaped his compositions and brought stillness to countless lives.
And now, as we immerse ourselves in the realm of these tranquil melodies, let's delve deeper into the artist behind them, Richard Goldsworthy.About Richard:
"I have always had this thing about finding stillness. Searching out a quiet place, decluttering the mind, sleeping deeply and peacefully, mellowing my thoughts, pausing, breathing, and simplifying my life. These days, many people tell me they need more stillness in their life, but don't know how to find it.
So I decided to create some music for stillness. Music that is just the sound of a beautiful resonant Grand Piano. Music that is quiet and simple. Music that calms and embraces you. Music that doesn't have too many notes or frills.
I’ve taken myself on a few retreats and adventures to create this music, to places like Kauai, Hawaii, the red deserts of Arizona, the historic and deeply spiritual shrines and temples of Kyoto, the ancient capital of Japan, the rainforest-covered mountains of my birthplace in tropical North Queensland, Australia, and the endless ocean that laps at the doorstep of my home on Australia’s Sunshine Coast.
Thanks for taking the time to listen to my music. I hope you will be touched by the stillness."
