Nicely done. Reminds me of Appleseed Cast with all it's textural epic-ness. 

"Places We Could Have Gone" was initially a piano sketch for my 2018 solo piano album Sanctuary Sessions. I recently revisited and recorded the idea in the same space, then further manipulated the recordings through my modular rig to add atmosphere. The track took on an incredibly nostalgic quality that made me reflect on the past year in lockdown and dream about all the new people and places that we might have missed out on during that time.

Places We Could Have Gone

"Restive is about patterns of thought: the flow of words and the stream of consciousness within our minds. There is an underlying expression of a certain amount of turmoil, but also that of optimism as we juggle between concerns, variables and positive outcomes."

When Dusk Came Early

Drift into a daydream with the piano stylings of @jeroendirrix, floating along that boundary between the waking world and sleep. This joyful melody, so tastefully delayed through an analogue tape machine, washes away the stresses of the present while evoking better days ahead. This perfect blend of nostalgia is the dutch composer's entry in our 2021 Piano Day collection Splices.

@jacob_david's latest piece is out now, set to artwork by Jon Beacham / The Brother In Elysium. Jon did the cover and packaging for Jacob's record Mursejler, which just turned a year old! We're celebrating with this oh-so-sweet number inspired by a melody Jacob's brother played for him when they were kids. As you may have guessed... it's a special one.

Jacob David - Nowesind

The darkest song I've ever written. I wanted to illustrate the atmosphere of an event that threatens life on earth, and resulting moods of loss, regret, and even beauty. The song was also a production challenge for me in trying to form a heavier, darker sound.

Themes: Apocalypse, nuclear war, disaster, atmospheric destruction, self-destruction, death, panic, regret, survival, acceptance.

Sampling at 11:05: "We knew the world would not be the same. Few people laughed, few people cried, most people were silent. I remembered the line from the Hindu scripture, the Bhagavad-Gita. Vishnu is trying to persuade the Prince that he should do his duty and to impress him takes on his multi-armed form and says, 'Now I am become Death, the destroyer of worlds.' I suppose we all thought that, one way or another." 
— J. Robert Oppenheimer, Interview about the Trinity explosion, first broadcast as part of the television documentary, "The Decision to Drop the Bomb (1965)."

Listen loud. Let it wash over you.

LYRICS

quiet
my rest have been so quiet
past decades and centuries
reduced to a memory

steady
my body has left me
returned where i came to be
as earth took it back from me

like those who came before
or after me
fathers and sons alike
we’re all asleep

down under
our titles don’t matter
and I never lost faith in
we're destined to something

something that lasts and makes
everything new
to someone that knows my name
someone that’s true

roar of a trumpet as
bedrock erupts
I know the voice I hear
that call me back
call me back

I am
rising
up

you’re brighter
than the sun

Untitled (Requiem)
