Mati - I fully agree about Keiko - wonderfully creative blend of several genres of music including (gasp!) New Age in her exciting and highly listenable compositions and performance thumb

Have you seen her YouTube videos? Especially gorgeous is "Forever, Forever". Check it out!

Of course I did! smile I've seen almost all of them one day laugh Well said she makes a great blend of several genres. Even jazz style and harmonies are prominent in her music. She is so much more than just a "new age" pianist.

I will go and watch them once again though, thanks for a reminder! smile

I love Keikos music. One of my favorites is the Water Lily. She is an elegant pianist.

Babs - Another beautiful piece and performance - somehow I missed that one before - Thanks!

Elegant is putting it mildly - excitingly, creatively elegant is perhaps a litle more descriptively accurate.

Regards, Jf

Einaudi is not new age. Tiersen is not new age. David Lanz is not new age. Clayderman is not new age. Philis Glassis definitely not new age.

New Age music, is exclusively that music which is related to New Age topics by openly New Age composers.

Imagine a composer who write music in a certain style, and he is vegetarian. Would you define all the music that have some aural resemblance to that style "vegetarian music"?

Neo-Classical sounds good.
Neo-Melodic sounds good.
Modern Instrumental is good too.
Contemporary Instrumental would work as well.

Or you could just describe the sound you're looking for. Soothing melodic music. Soothing ambient music. Ambient minimalist music. Instrospective slow melodic.

After all, there's music, openly New Age because associated with the New Age movement, which is fast electronic techno rock.

A pianist which is openly New Age is Mike Rowland. Here you can listen is "Come into the Fairy Ring":

Mike Rowland - Come into the Fairy Ring
