Richard Goldsworthy
Solo Pianist
I believe music is a common language that unites us all. Thanks for listening to mine. My name’s Richard and I write quiet gentle music for solo piano.
I create music under 3 different names, each with a slightly different style and theme. I release solo grand piano music under my own name, Richard Goldsworthy. I have also created a neoclassical felted piano project titled Piano Within, which is a collaboration of music, art, stories and video. And I also record and release traditional and original sacred music under the name The Reverence Project.
One quality I always try to add to my music is 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.
Many of us need more stillness in our lives, but sometimes don't know how to find it. I love when people tell me how my music has helped them, their loved ones or their children… with things like decluttering their mind, sleeping peacefully, meditating, pausing, breathing, and simplifying their life. In today’s world, things we all need to do a little more.
I now invite you to take a moment to relax, to breathe, and to explore my music through the music page on this site, or via your favorite social or digital music platform...
“Space is the Canvas on which we paint our dreams. It’s endlessness is not nothingness, but a promise of endless possibilities”
Welcome to The Blue Horizon - a gentle, spacious collection of 21 solo piano pieces, composed over the last 2 years. I created this album in 3 parts – 3 “suites” of music, which were composed in 3 vastly different settings. Each was a unique and beautiful journey, and each one opened up a new dimension in my music...
Suite #1 – The Awakening was composed when I moved to First Bay on the Sunshine Coast, Australia.
Suite #2 – The Experience was composed when I journeyed to the Simpson Desert in Outback Australia.
Suite #3 – The Knowing was composed in the mountains, forests and coastal areas of the northern coast of NSW, Australia.
The Blue Horizon is available to purchase below as CD ($20), digital download ($15) or Deluxe Edition ($30) which is a limited edition signed CD + my composer’s journal – “The Blue Horizon – A Creative Journey”
