about

This is a tribute to the thousands that died on the 11th September 2001. A composer called Stephan Beneking came up with the idea of a 'crowdpiano' project where he supplied a short piece of music and then musicians could record their own interpretation to build up a collection of musical statements - and this is my contribution.
This was a very emotional piece to write and I'm not sure I've managed as good a job as I would have liked. It's also very personal and I'm really not sure about sharing it... but here you are, I hope the music makes a personal connection with you.
On the 11th September 2001 my daughter was a few weeks from being born and I remember, in quite harrowing detail, how devastatingly worried I was that the world she was going to be born into would not be the kind of place I'd want anyone to be growing up in, never mind my own daughter. However, taking the positive view (which I usually end up doing eventually) I realised that every life is precious and that for every person that seeks to tear down our world and hurt our loved ones there are more people fighting for our lives and protecting our world. So this is not just a tribute to those that lost their lives on that day - it's also a tribute to everyone fighting against terrorism today.

Purple Rhapsody Manchester, UK

I'm Terry Robinson and I'm a multi-instrumentalist and composer working under the pseudonym Purple Rhapsody.

However, whichever style is prevalent in a track, all tracks have a "feel" that is distinctly Purple Rhapsody! ... more
