This piano session took place on November 19, 2024. This time, I think it’s much better suited for listening, as it doesn’t contain any mistakes.

I’m currently in the middle of many changes in my life and haven’t really had the chance to play the piano, so I’m mostly fishing from the recordings I made last year — and they’ve turned out to be surprisingly rich.

Hope you’re all doing well.
Much Love,

I recently came across this 1-hour live piano session recorded on March 24, 2025. I do these sessions from time to time, often after long breaks from playing, when I drift into a meditative state, improvising, exploring new ideas, revisiting fragments of older works, and simply losing myself in the flow of music.
As you can clearly hear, the recording isn’t flawless, it contains moments of hesitation, rediscovery, and on-the-spot exercises as I recall pieces I wrote long ago. This may be distracting when trying to listen to the whole thing, but I decided to publish it anyway, because that's exactly what it sounds like when I play just for myself, therefore making this authentic memory of the specific moment.
Sometimes you may hear bits of my published works; sometimes unpublished, yet similarly old ones; and sometimes submerging into pure creative chaos…
Hopefully you will find your favorite parts in this.
Much Love,
Dalibor

Today marks 10 years since I uploaded Mono.
This piece became my most popular piano track to date, and I still remember the evening I finally recorded it in a single take. It happened almost by chance—I was about to meet a friend and thought, “Just one last try, and then I’ll head out.” That take ended up being the one. I’ll never forget the feeling of satisfaction as I walked to meet her, knowing the track was finally ready.

To celebrate, Mono is available for free download on my Bandcamp page for the next 24 hours. If you don’t have it yet, now’s the time.

Hope you’re all doing well.
Much love,

I don't post for a random global audience browsing random shorts without any specific goal, I create for people having specific taste in music and I know they do because for years it had worked just perfectly for both sides - people got the content they wanted, and creators have found their right audience. Organically, it worked like a charm.
Not anymore.
Subscriptions don't mean anything anymore. They are irrelevant. You will only be shown content based on invisible, non-transparent algorithms guessing what you “might” like instead of what one actually chose to get. And they are absolutely horrible at that. Not even close.
With 5.8k subscribers I am getting less views than when I had under 50 subscribers after opening my channel 13 years ago. It's a joke.
YouTube is favoring random trending content, while deliberately burying 99% smaller channels to the ground.
At this point there is absolutely no reason for me to keep uploading to this platform anymore. My channel is not even monetized and the only reason for me to keep uploading was the possibility of reaching new audiences. That too, is now gone.
I am thinking about hiding all my low-performing videos and keeping only a few most viewed videos here.

The original acoustic base from which my song ‘Tidal Locking’ came from. In this video I am using different tuning (444 Hz standard D), while the ‘studio’ version with drums is 440 Hz standard E with capo on the 4th fret - just in case someone would like to play it by looking at the video.
I have had some rough months and I really would love to publish more regularly but my whole life for the last 2 years has really been one step forward, two steps back. I really am trying…
Anyway, I thought some of you may like this content, I do not usually post videos like this, but I thought why not. It really was the simplest thing to do - no mixing, no overthinking, no post-production, just a few minutes of nice morning play.
Much love,
Dalibor

10 years ago today, Avian has been released.
To this day, this is my favorite song of mine, my personal anthem, connected to the air, flying, and ascending.
'Vian' in my name came from this word Avian...

Album ‘Long Shadows’ will be released on the 24th of April 2024.
This is my darkest album ever, inherent relationship of light and dark, seeking beauty in the hidden places.
All works from this album have already been published, so this is more catalogizing my works into albums than providing something very much new.
However, if you don’t have most of these songs, it’s a good opportunity to get them all in one package, set in one theme, for discounted price.
Pre-order available on Bandcamp: dalovian.bandcamp.com/album/long-shadows
Tracklist:
1. My Last Suicide
2. Insomnia
3. Nothing But Only One
4. Brave Wings Took You Too High
5. Moriens Spiritum
6. The Only Light Is Gone
7. November
8. Comedy Is Over
