In The Silence.
"In The Silence" is the title track from my brand new instrumental album which is now available on all online platforms.
Inspired by a story by Eleonora Faye about a toad named Cyd who finds himself on an adventure taking him far from his home, and with help from friends Cyd eventually finds his way back home. I hope you enjoy the journey, and please feel free to share. Special thank you to Tim Anderson @FuhsStudio for helping create this video. And thank you to Eleonora for the inspiration!

"If you like piano that has the flavour of George Winston with his own style...Check out Richard's new Album...it's lovely!" - Kelley Springer (Musician/Artist/Intuitive Healer/ Story Teller)
"Oh Richard, I have been listening all morning. Your album is brilliant! Absolutely lovely! I cannot even decide what pieces I like the best as they are all wonderful. I imagined myself on a beach and in the woods. I went to a lot of places!" - Lisa Wimer (Professional Ballet Pianist/Music Director)
“I listened to the album yesterday, listening again now. It feels like a love story. beautiful and uplifting. It really does feel like a journey. Some parts are tender and others driven and powerful. You really do paint such beautiful pictures through the music. Bravo, my talented friend! I love the album.........it feels very personal to you, but, something everyone can identify with, and everyone will see something of their own truths in the music. It’s inspirational.” - Amanda Hazelton (Dance Teacher)
"The beautiful Soul's Journey Piano Series composed by Richard Maddock sings with the emotions of the musicians and rises as a conversation that is more intimate than hardly any will admit. I particularly love Angels Forever Guiding and Dancing Under The Stars and Don't Let Them Fall. My life is busy and all Richard's music makes me feel calm. I also use his many albums in the classroom when I teach. His music is beautiful as it fills the classroom with calmness as the students feel the breath of every note through their body." - Marie Walton-Mahon OAM (Progressive Ballet Technique)
THANK YOU!
I would like to extend my sincerest gratitude to my dance friends who so kindly gave their permission to use their beautiful images for my album covers. Thank you Renana Peleg Cohen (Vol 1), Becky Erickson (Vol 2) w/Joel Nava (Photographer), Victoria Aletta (Vol 3), Erica Taylor Bowie (Vol 4), and Eleonora Fae (Vol 5), w/Romy Engel (Photographer).
I would also like to thank the person who has been working behind the scenes around the clock for the past several months for me helping with the entire project, including designing the album covers, helping me create my new website, and there are simply too many things to mention but I will say that without his amazing dedication and commitment to The Soul’s Journey Piano Album Series, none of this would have been made possible. So on that note, I would like to give a special thank you to my good friend Timothy Anderson. For voice over work, music for podcasts, video editing, audio engineering, I highly recommend contacting my friend Timothy Anderson @ Fuhs Studio https://www.fuhsstudio.com
I would like to thank the Dance Community at large for their overwhelming kindness and support over these past few years especially. The thousands of messages I have received due to the concerts, the friendships made, every day brings new light and I am forever thankful. It has helped to keep me going in the darkest hours. You inspire me to strive harder and I will never forget this time when the Dance Community wrapped their wings around me with love, compassion and understanding. Thank you. You know who you are!
How it all began!
As soon as Covid arrived, I began performing concerts via livestream on Facebook. At the time I was co-artistic director of a wonderful adult community choir named ‘The Treblemakers’ for over 12 years. My intention was to provide comfort to the seniors in the choir who were now confined to their homes, and no longer being able to rehearse or perform with their friends. Since I have been involved with the dance community for nearly 40 years, connected mainly to dance artists on Facebook and LinkedIn, many of my dance friends around the world have also been listening in, some from the very beginning! Their support has been overwhelming throughout these past three years and I couldn’t imagine where I would be right now without their kindness, love and friendship. Thank you Dance Community!!!!!!
Here is a segment of Comforting Wings, which is featured on Vol 6 ‘Sunlight Dancing’ from The Soul’s Journey Piano Series.
…Three years later, I continue performing concerts on Facebook, seven nights a week, at 10 pm (EST). Check your timezone. My livestream concerts are streamed from my personal Facebook account which are public posts and can be viewed and enjoyed by everyone. I share the concert post to my Facebook page after the concert which can be viewed at any time.
To enjoy my livestream concerts, follow my personal Facebook profile. Join Cleo and I.
If you don’t have a Facebook Profile, follow this link which will take you to my Facebook Page - Richard Maddock Compositions (no sign-in required).
Sharing Inspiration
I find being in Nature to be calming. There is beauty everywhere if you look hard enough. Being near water has always been important to me, as well as trees, and God’s beautiful creatures. From hummingbirds to gorgeous sunset, I think it is so important to appreciate all that has been given to us to enjoy. Here are some videos of my music set against a backdrop of Nature.
