Have a nice day!]]> Happyday Mon, 07 Apr 2008 15:38:34 +0900 http://inewage.com/community/bbs/board.php?bo_table=en&wr_id=69 by Edward Weiss

As a clinical psychologist, researcher, and professor at Fuller Theological Seminary's Graduate School of Psychology, Dr. Bjorck's multifaceted vocation typifies his love for a Renaissance man's approach to life. His approach has also included a lifelong love of creative expression, and piano composition has been a major means to this end. More info below.

Edward: How Did You Get Started Playing New Age Piano?

Jeff: I took piano lessons informally from my mother from the age of 9 to about 13. At this 13, however, I discovered that I could sound out my own melodies, make arrangements of songs on the radio, and create my own music.  Since my mother had taught me all she knew, I stopped using music at this point and started playing from my heart.  Whereas my basic knowledge of formal music instruction was a very helpful foundation, I truly receive the most joy by playing spontaneously, oftentimes feeling more like a third-party.

Edward: What Inspires and Informs Your Music?

Jeff: I am inspired by all forms of music from various classical and romantic styles to rock, jazz, and even hip-hop!  I am also inspired by the Creator’s work, particularly the beauty of nature and wildlife.  Many of my musical pieces have been inspired by places I have been, such as hiking deep in cedar forest in the Catskills or wandering through Appalachian woodlands or soaring on my hang glider thousands of feet above majestic mountains.

My music has been informed, in all likelihood, by every piece of music I have ever heard.  When I listen to my music I can hear piano influences as diverse as David Lanz, Billy Joel, George Winston, Elton John, and Carol King. Beyond that, I have also been influenced by orchestral works by Debussy, Satie, and Beethoven. Add a good dose of big band jazz, classical rock (e.g., the band Yes), and more current popular music, and you begin to have a pretty good picture!

Edward: What Is Your Method for Composing a Piano Piece?

Jeff: I can answer this with liner notes text from my first CD, because the method remains essentially unchanged: “Jeff's nontraditional method of composition has remained basically the same during the past thirty years. He sits at the piano, plays spontaneously from the heart, and stops to develop any musical themes that surprise him. He confesses, ‘Sometimes I feel like a third party, listening to the whole process as an interested observer!’” 

I would add that I typically have a digital recorder going so I can catch those musical themes as they surprise me! Often times, my new compositions begin while I am playing spontaneously, and I say, “Oh wow! What was that?” Then I hit rewind, listen to the phrase that inspired me, and began my formal compositional process.  Even when I have completed a piece, however, I never play it 100% exactly the same each time.

Edward: Do You Get Blocked Creatively, and If So, How Do You Get Past It?

Jeff: That's a great question!  If I worked at my music full time, my answer might be different.  Because I only able to music part-time, my first solution when feeling blocked is to simply quit and go do something else!  Particularly if that “something else” is a creative activity in another genre (e.g., photography, poetry, gardening),

I find this “taking a break” can get the creative juices flowing again.  Another technique I use is to walk away from the piano but continue to mull over the melody in my head and/or whistle it or hum it to myself. A third technique is to remain at the piano but to play other pieces that I enjoy.  A fourth technique is to spend time listening to other artists.  All of these methods are helpful in renewing my ability to think outside any box in which I might be stuck!.

Edward: What Advice Would You Give To Aspiring New Age Pianists?

Jeff: Practice every day! Practice the hard things first and the easy things last.  Get some type of tape recorder or digital recorder and just leave it running while you freely explore the keyboard.  Like me, you may surprise yourself with some really good "what was that?" moments. I would also advise you to listen to other artists, and do not limit yourself to pianists.  Finally, I would encourage you to avoid relying on "special effects" so readily available on most electric keyboards. 

The sound of falling rain or crickets is never a substitute for good composition. On the other hand, adding such effects later on can sometimes be a nice touch. Also, be open to feedback and constructive criticism. Compliments from friends can feel good, but they will never help to improve your music like good constructive criticism can. Finally, when composing your music, work at anchoring your playing in emotion. Without emotional sensitivity, a highly technical piece may suggest a skillful player, but it can also sound more like a polka and then like New Age music.

I think it's cool.]]> Bach Thu, 11 Oct 2007 11:28:45 +0900 http://inewage.com/community/bbs/board.php?bo_table=en&wr_id=60 Asuh : Please, tell the background you would start as musician. Llewellyn : I started playing the piano when I was seven. I was taught by the Mum of a famous UK TV presenter called Nick Owen. I've always learnt to play by ear and never been very good at reading or writing music. I used to make up songs all the time and thought everyone did this! My brother played guitar so I was lucky enough to play that when he wasn't looking! Asuh : It is hard to define Llewellyn's works is precised on healing only. I want to attempt to ask how come you tried to focus on healing, mystical and spirit besides the others. Llewellyn : I always had an interest in the paranormal. I wrote songs about ghosts, crystals and magical trees...all long before I knew there was such a thing as new age music. My sister was a pro massager and introduced me to healing music as she used it for her massage treatments. Asuh : Near for meditation, but sometimes folk music, and also sometimes it is set for so classical! What is your music motives? Llewellyn : I love all styles of music - so long as it is good music. I think you have to really love a particular mood style of music otherwise you cannot create music for other people to feel the same way. My music covers a wide range of styles from new age to pop/rock, stage musical, classical,dance and chillout. Asuh : What's your aims getting from your music? Llewellyn : Music is emotional. It is like spoken language and therefore an expression of ourselves. Like the wisdom of words - there is the wisdom of music. It crosses all language barriers and talks to the soul. My aim is to try and touch and affect people with my music in a positive way. Asuh : You have released the first vocal album, 'An Audience of Angles' last August, 2007. How can I describe your attractive voice color. I am so mad on it. It shows you have tried to be out from the previous music style. Is there any decision to release? And, why do not you tell the meaning and some points you want to send on 'An Audience of Angels'? Llewellyn : I've always wanted to release vocal albums myself. Record Companies were scared to release male vocal albums in the new age genre because female voices were the benchmark for success. Having my own record company - I can finally release what I want to ! Reaction so far is wonderful. My voice has been compared to George Michael. An Audience of Angels is a pop/new age album. It includes spiritual and thought provoking songs about relationships and the thoughts people have but don't say when involved with others. I believe that this physical life is a unique soul challenge based on the fact that we can lie and hide our true feelings from each other to alter outcomes. In the Spirit world - noone can lie or deceive - that is what I'm looking forward to! Asuh : I presume you have had some episodes, or something you still could remember, through your music work. Llewellyn : People find it interesting that I don't remember the music that I compose. They are like distant conversations that I recorded in the studio. There is a child spirit that lives in my studio. He loves to make the lights flicker - especially when doing the final mix on tracks. When my daughter, Alana, played guitar on a recent track (Beautiful Day) the lights were flashing on and off very dramatically. He was very excited! Asuh : Please tell your further plan, for instance, about the coming albums, planning for music tours. Llewellyn : I'm currently recording 2 new Reiki Albums for Paradise - Reiki Sleep & Reiki Woman. Asuh : If you could say to your fans and Happyday radio's listeners who love Llewellyn's? Llewellyn : Hi to everyone out there in radio land. Thank you so much for your support. It means a lot. So long as you keep wanting my music - I'll keep making it!
