Roderick C. Simons has been involved with music since early in his life when he was classically trained on the violin. Even at this time, he played with passion. Every note that flowed from his violin painted a picture full of color and beauty.
Later in life, Roderick added piano performance and composition to his musical repertoire. Although he has been influenced by the classical and romantic composers, “Michael Jones”, “David Lanz”, and “George Winston”, his style is distinctive. The depth of color and expression offered by the piano allow Roderick to create picturesque melodies and harmonies that draw you into the music. Roderick composes music in several genres which include ambient, patriotic, and contemporary Christian. Emerson wrote, “The quality of imagination is to flow and not to freeze”, and in Roderick's music, the imagination indeed flows.
Although Roderick is a professional software developer by trade, he takes time to share his music at coffee houses and small gatherings. If you would be interested in having him perform at either, drop him a message.
May Roderick's music help fire the passions that burn within each of you.
Thank you so much for the add and the friendship! Wishing you a wonderful weekend ahead :)
Also, some exciting news - my new album, Meridians, has just been released on iTunes and Amazon MP3! I'm very happy to be able to share it with listeners in a high-quality format.
(Just search for "Valerie Mih" in iTunes/Amazon to pull up the album.)
It's a mixture of jazz, classical and ambient influences...music like autumn leaves falling :)
I hope you enjoy the sounds & the day!

Feel the Ocean Calling is simply one of the most beautiful songs I have ever heard. Though I have listened it to it repeatedly the past couple of weeks or so, it is new each time and it never fails to spill over me, uplift me, and fill my soul with (waves of!) joy and peace...Ocean truly reflects the soul of its composer and the grace of God~
