Nicely done! lots of interesting changes and really good ambience.

Your interpretation of May feels especially poignant, reflective, and quietly moving

Gorgeous composition that flows with so many colors, silver screen worthy! Great job Ad!👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

I wanted to exploit the sound of one of my favourite folk instruments. The hurdy-gurdy is not heard so very often in the UK. What could be better than to use a medieval instrument for a leading-edge space opera like my essay into "The Vanished Birds"?

Several SoundClouders have remarked on the hurdy-gurdy. My own passion for it started in the 1990s when I found myself in a Breton village on the day of their hurdy-gurdy festival. We marched up and down through that village behind a band of 30 or 40 hurdy-gurdy players, with the odd Breton bagpiper and bombarde-player chipping in, as the mood took them. Somewhere, I still have my field recordings of the day. The tunes were simple and very catchy.

Update (2025, January 17). As of today, this modest musical composition accompanies a splendid poem by Peter (https://soundcloud.com/user-264930040/all-the-old-little-things-we-have-lost, in the description area, preceded by his illustration of the circumstance). I would like to thank him very much: it is an honour for me.

May (composer/performer: Ad van Nederpelt

What is your enduring dream? That treasured goal that requires a deep well of resilience and the courage to try something over and over again? The path to reaching an enduring dream is generally not straightforward; instead, it meanders, taking us to unknown and unexpected places while providing countless "life lessons" as we navigate a long, winding road. It's comforting to know that every stumble and each "recalibration" along the way brings us closer to our dreams, strengthening our resolve and making the eventual success more meaningful.

“An Enduring Dream” contains two recurring themes: the first represents the process of pursuing a dream repeatedly, while the second symbolizes the “recalibration” and courage to keep moving forward. The music concludes with a sense of continued movement, further along the path and closer to the dream.

An Enduring Dream

Picture by Władysław T. Benda (ca. 1918 Public Domain)

If you get a chance to go to a truly dark sky sight and watch the Milky Way rise, do so. It is magnificient.

But what if it really was a slow, lazy river you could drift along in, trailing your hand into the sparkling star-water?

Milky Way

Peter`s own words :
"I am blessed with a treasured friend whose name is Sue.

Sue is the very embodiment of humanity. Kind, selfless, giving, loving, unassuming, warm, smiling, understanding. Were you lucky enough ever to meet Sue, you’d never know that she carries a heavy burden carefully, and gently tucked away in a very private place within her heart.

This song is for Sue, and all mothers who, like her, have lost a son in the most tragic of circumstances, with no opportunity to help, hold, comfort or say goodbye."

Solace


When first you nestled in my arms and my eyes met with yours

A bonding fused in love, that could never be undone.

Sheltered you from harm as childhood lightly ran its course

Giving thanks to God above for the blessing you’d become.



Of your blossoming maturity I watched with glowing pride

Reaching for your touch to find that now we’re worlds apart,

Stolen by fate’s cruelty, that wrenches yet inside

Ever present in my mind, forever in my heart



As angels wrapped in heaven, soon our eyes shall meet and then

In the sanctity of peace we’ll find solace once again.



And now I live by memory tides that flood tomorrow’s shore

Your image resting in my palm, lifts my spirit gently, where,

The strongest, warmest love abides and shall do evermore

A love bestowing soothing calm upon my silent prayer.



Though the space between is wide as the celestial abyss

I keep a special place aside, from which I promise only this

As angels wrapped in heaven, soon our eyes shall meet and then

In the sanctity of peace we’ll find solace once again.

Solace. 1234567890. Oddrun Eikli.

Some years ago I had posted this piece, some of you might remember it.... and to my surprise just recently Benjamin Rößler (YurOb) has let me listen to what he had done with it....
I hope you will like listening to it as much as I do….

Actually I am a piano-musician by profession, but I discovered the huge possibilities of music designing with a computer.  I like to compose in very different styles like classical, pop, filmmusic, hardrock, synth rock, jazz, tango, etc. I hope you'll enjoy it and I do appreciate practical, and especially serious criticism as well.
