Simple Beauty

February 4th, 2010 by Jim Chappell | No Comments | Filed in Uncategorized

There is a simple beauty I keep being reminded of that touches the more elevated parts of who I am.

Examples would be: I’ve always been fond of sunlight reflecting on the water, of songbirds singing their little hearts out every spring, of the sound of crickets chirping on a warm summer’s evening, of the glorious shapes that billowing clouds take on from time to time…

I’m sure these types of moments contribute constantly to my inspiration to create more music. There’s a lot of free love around when one takes the time to notice it:)

Holiday Creativity

December 22nd, 2009 by Jim Chappell | No Comments | Filed in Inspiration

The holidays have historically been a good time to write new music for me; we’ll see what the “Piano Santa” brings forth this year:)

If it’s something I think you will like you’ll certainly find it out there at some point..

Silence..

December 17th, 2009 by Jim Chappell | 3 Comments | Filed in Inspiration

There’s something delicious about silence in the air if you’re not the lonely type. I love being in a very quiet space from time to time. A lot of clarity and good things can happen from there..

Music Can Really “Get” To You

October 15th, 2009 by Jim Chappell | 2 Comments | Filed in Personal

Music is something that can really “get” to you in both a good, or bad way; it’s kind of the one man’s food, another man’s poison thing:)

It actually is a lot like food: what tastes delicious and sits well with one person could also make another repulsed and nauseous! However the great thing is  there are certainly plenty of flavors etc. to choose from:)

I suppose because music really does have the power to influence our vibrations; almost immediately changing our vibe or our disposition, it really can affect our mood and usually quite easily have it’s way with us.

Certain music uplifts, inspires, energizes, or relaxes me; while other music seems like a form of torture; pushing me to feel everything from uncomfortable, edgy, or mildly irritated to angry and overly aggressive!

Bottom line is that music can be a very powerful force, is a very subjective experience for each person, and is very important to most all of us it seems..
