Name: The Chess Pavilion by Alan Hamilton in GREAT MISC TRACKS BY FELLOW SC COMPOSERS
Duration: 6 min 25 s
Description: 'The Chess Pavilion' is a World Fusion track and was inspired by the unbelievable construction, called 'The Chess Pavilion' on top of the almighty Mt. Huashan in the Huashan mountain range in China. An incredible feat.....

Cool with the 'narrow' synth against the panned rythmic - what is it - marimba? Great

Nice calm oriental elements, nice 'high altitude' vibe

Super cool and spacey, Alan! The beginning is especially eerie and haunting. Really liked the digeridoo.

This piece has such a soothing quality to it, and at the same time reflects the majesty of that mountain range.

I am often guilty of tunnel vision while "being in the zone", working on my tracks - so I spent too little time scanning all the great work out there ... This playlist will at least not harm my possibility to follow others. 

By purpose a heterogeneous list with the common denominator that I liked these tracks. In many cases, each artist has many more fantastic tracks - all of which could be represented here. And maybe they eventually will! The main point, though, is that I can initiate the list and remember "Ah, that artist X, wow - I better take a look at the latest uploads there" - or why not earlier uploads. 

Timeless music, thanks - no trends for Mr. Svensson please

A tender tribute to a dear friend facing the battle of breast cancer. Hold Me In Silence is an attempt to explain emotions through music when words often fall short. The delicate melodies and lyrics are aimed as an embrace in sound for someone navigating pain, uncertainty, but also an immense amount of hope. 

If you enjoyed listening, please like and repost if you would, which would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Ode to Larry the Possum

||| Eternity |||
A darkwave / EBM track exploring the benefits of shadow work, being the process of exploring and integrating the unconscious parts of personality that may be repressed or rejected, often referred to as the "shadow self." This practice aims to increase self-awareness, heal emotional wounds, and promote personal growth by acknowledging and accepting all aspects of oneself, including those that are uncomfortable or hidden.

Open your mind to savage beats, pulsing synth bass and echoes in the abyss, while minimalistic spoken vocals guide you through the shadows.

lyrics
Fast falls the eventide
The darkness deepens...
There is no life
No life
Without its hunger
But then you come
And I am filled with wonder
Sometimes
I think
I glimpse eternity...
The darkness deepens
I glimpse eternity
In the silence
Until you come
I glimpse eternity
Until you come
In the silence
Until you come

In memory of a man who was always there - like a rock, reliable and consistent. 
But even a rock turns to dust at some point.

Just a song I threw together after work. I had a creative itch to scratch. Has my trusty Takamine guitar and some duduk, and some electronic sprinkles...

Now retired from a life 'on the road' as a freelance keyboard player, I compose and record in my home studio, situated in the Carrick Hills in Southern Scotland. My music is mainly instrumental in nature and is a reflection of my life experience, sometimes real and sometimes imagined.
My influences are many and I have quite probably been shaped by listening to the very many "giants" of music, both players and composers. From classical to contemporary jazz and everything in between. My main instrument is the keyboard, whether that be piano, organ or synth. But I also play banjo, flute and percussion. I have a special relationship'with bass, whether upright or electric and use virtual and synth basses from numerous sources, but mainly Trilian by Spectrasonics.

Composer of multi-instrumental music, with a preference for longer, progressive and complexly arranged pieces.   

Have played guitar for many years, but I am probably a slightly odd type of guitarist. Not particularily interested in the guitar genre, not too keen on listening to long solos, etc. I don't enjoy playing for people - a party-killer, in short. However, leave me alone with this wonderful tool (or the keyboard, which I play too), and I will start experimenting with it, searching for something to develop. 

Strongly interested in classical music and anything remotely related to that. I want to construct music with a similar structure and complexity, although with other instruments, and in my own way...  
___________________________________________________________

During 2010-2013, I worked on a suite of related pieces, GUITARS PLAYED BY DS, with every sound played on the electric guitar. A major undertaking, and (all-in-all) 45+ minutes long, all complexly related and released in five segments.

During 2014-2015, the main focus was on the full-format 'LONG INSTRUMENTAL', a progressive work with lots of different instruments and sounds, restless and complex. Some sections stand on their own feet: MYSTERY, and FANFARE. 

The 2014-2015 recordings also resulted in two shorter pieces: CAMBRIAN EXPLOSION and CLUSTER OF WARNINGS.

During 2015 I initiated a suite played on classical guitars - GUITAR STRUCTURES. It is a series of slowly changing ideas, a weave of melodies and harmony, the first section out in April 2015 (the 2nd came 2 years later).  

I played guitars on Tolubai's wonderful ambient piece 'MEMORIES' (August 2015).

EARTHSHINE came out in January 2016; a darker and slightly dissonant progressive piece, and one of my personal favorites. So is SILENCE, out 1st July 2016. September 2016: IGNITION  with TOLUBAI and LET THERE BE LIGHT 22th Sept 2016 with PuppyWolf. 

20/11-2016: The OORT CLOUD PROJECT I-IX. An 18+ minutes long progressive synth-based instrumental, with lots of short guitar phrases integrated. Also, the spin-off PASSAGE was released. 

GROTESQUE released too in the end of 2016. The 19th January 2017, I released the sketch OMMA CONTRAPUNCTUS PROJECT. The 4th February 2017, the track '3 WORLDS COLLIDE' was released.

'Guitar Structure No. 2' out in March 2017, took 2 years to complete.

BEST OF 2 WORLDS was released in November 2017, another personal favorite composition.

APPROACHING: an unfinished sketch released 1st April 2018. TAURUS IV released 8th April 2018.

New Years evening 2019, quickly improvising a track: DECADE. Uploaded 23:58 local time. It was a very fun way of ending the year and I used a symbolic art cover with red sweeping in, but I wouldn't have dreamed of what was to come soon.

One main project this year is the SNOWFLAKES VARIATIONS suite; the Prelude was released in January 2020.

8th April 2020: CREATURES RISING was released. CREATURES OF THE RAINFOREST also a spinoff track (released 2021).

In the Lockdown March-April 2020, I recorded 'Era', out of frustration...

5th June 2020: REPORT FROM PLANET THREE, which was initiated 31st May 2019. 

31st July 2020: FORECAST was released. April 2021: SUMMER SNOWFLAKES, a 25 minute long track and perhaps my most ambitious ever. 

OCTOBER 22, 2021: OUTPOST. Was hell of a lot work behind this, which started out as the "Conquerer" project already in 2017. 

APRIL 28, 2022: The Disclosure (Part I).
SEPTEMBER 23, 2022: PEACE GUITARS. A track very dear to me, much of it written outdoors at the shores with my lovely dog with me. 

OCTOBER 6, 2023: SHAMBOLIC GUITARS.  Intensive recordings!

DECEMBER 7, 2024: TABOOOO released. (Oldfield Tribute)

SEPTEMBER 6, 2025: WATERFALL (part 1). Another part will follow in 2026!
