Wonderful progression and quality. This is absolutely amazing. So cinematic

What an amazing work and so smooth like flow 🌹 great work I remember Journey music the game 👌🏻

I like this kind of classical music. Beautiful catchy melodies.

Really beautiful and well-crafted. I really enjoy the smooth, lush texture you created in the orchestration.

Lovely composition with a beautiful arrangement/ orchestration. Nicely produced with a rich/ warm sound. Bravo.

NEVER REST THE MIND

She came in late
Looking for love with a stranger
The kind of love you find in the night
Call it fate
‘cause I wasn’t looking for danger
Just happened to be right in her sight
when she passed and she lost a maroon scarf
Close to my feet
what seemed to be by chance but not quite
I could tell by the way she received it
Not even faking to be slightly surprised
That not so innocent laughter
Before a wink with no shame or regard
Paved the way to the moment after
The question that would get me off-guard

What kind of love
What kind of love
What kind of love are you up for tonight?
What kind of love
What kind of love
What kind of love are you up for tonight?


“What exactly does that question entail?
How many kinds of love you reckon there are?”
She answered: “there’s the kind that goes on forever,
And there’s the kind that doesn’t go very far
But it’s fine for a night
and your timing is right,
You’ll be that ice cream fix
for hearts badly broken”
She asked the question for a second time
Making clear there would be no second token

What kind of love
What kind of love
What kind of love are you up for tonight?
What kind of love
What kind of love
What kind of love are you up for tonight?


I  said “I’m in shock, am I not the man in this conversation?”
She fancied the accent and the playful sarcasm in my intonation
The mind has its mysterious ways of getting common desires telepathically transferred
We kissed and I guess at that point it’s fair to say that her question was probably answered

What kind of love
What kind of love
What kind of love are you up for tonight?
What kind of love
What kind of love
What kind of love are you up for tonight?
What kind of love
What kind of love
What kind of love are you up for tonight?
What kind of love
What kind of love

Had a drum groove and a new cat in the house. Worked them both together with some new ideas and flows. Hmmm! Crazy Shit! Really great opportunity to experiment with a few things!

In The Shadow Of The Shade - Excerpt

Hey guys, This is a cool Christian kinda soundtrack beat I made for someone who was singing a song, " hello, Lord"🤩💕
well I wanted to chill a lil but I just couldn't help myself you know I'mma beat enthusiast🔥🔥🥵
Anyway check it out and drop comments on how it goes


(Peaceful Cinematic Soundtrack🕊️) Hello Lord!

A Skyrim Soundtrack Expansion Project.

Taking both elements from Oblivion and Skyrim and trying to combine them into something that fits neatly into Skyrim's already existent soundscape and OST.
I always wanted to do this, and now I believe I have the tools necessary to pull it off - I hope...
This little introductory piece took me (calculating in the time I needed to find good enough melodies in my head without copying everything the existing soundtracks already do, arranging things so they work as intended, building up a new orchestral template I can work off of to create more cohesive pieces within this project, getting all the libraries I required etc.) half a year. 
Not constant work of course, for this iteration I took about 2 months - but there are so many prototypes waiting to be salvaged into something worthwhile that did not become *this*...
It took a lot of thinking and frustration.

And I am still not "perfectly" happy with the result. The mix but most importantly the arrangement and some harmonic structures are very lacking in some places, it isn't as thematically consistent as I wanted it and I feel like I still need a lot of practice with my new libraries to get the best out of them.

But aside from that, I am still very proud of it. I again learned more from this piece and everything it took to get it done than I have in a long time.
So I'd mark it down as a definite success, especially since it opens up the doors to an entire new project that I can sink my teeth into - especially especially because it is about Skyrim. And there are few things that I am as passionate about and emotionally connected to as I am with the fifth entry in the Elder Scrolls Series.

I will vastly improve in the fields of composition, arrangement and thematic consistency on the upcoming tracks, because now I actually have a structure I can build upon instead of no ideas and an empty DAW.
So expect better things to come and forgive me my shortcomings on this first entry in a hopefully long line of pieces to this puzzle.

Please enjoy and give me all the feedback you want, I need every bit of it to improve.

But for now -
a hearty Cheerio,
Cedric

Thanks for taking a look at my profile. I’ve been writing music ever since I found a copy of Quartet for the Atari ST when I was 11 years old. It’s been my hobby ever since. 

Back then I was limited to 4 channels, and I think about 8 different instruments… and now I have a world of instruments to play with.

For me, when an orchestra sings the hairs on my arms stand up and I lose myself in the music. There’s no better feeling!

I hope you enjoy listening to my music as much as I enjoy making it :)
