Origins

etnik

Medieval

This one is a folkish, peaceful kantele song with piccolo and celtic flute leads and distant loons on a lake shore.

Folktale

Sidsel Videlvand (Trad. Danish)

From Bab'Aziz-Le Prince Qui Contemplait Son Ame (2005)

translated poem:

O day, arise
the atoms are dancing
thanks to him the universe is dancing 

The souls are dancing,
overcome with ecstasy 
i'll whisper in your ear where their dance is taking them

All the atoms in the air,
and in the desert know well they seem insane

Every single atom,
happy or miserable

Becomes enamored of the sun,
by which nothing can be said.

Jalāl ad-Dīn Muhammad Rūmī



Poem of the atoms - Armand Amar (Bab Aziz)

A Middle English song, which has come down to us without music.  I wrote a tune, and this was the result.

I make epic soundtrack music mixed with ethnic, folk, medieval and electronic instruments for some very unique sounding stuff. My music is usually very melodic, rhythmic and simple yet very diverse.  I absorb my artistic inspirations mainly from video game and movie soundtracks. Some good examples include Future World Music, Two Steps From Hell, Koji Kondo, Jeremy Soule, John Williams and Hans Zimmer. Remember to share this page with your friends if you enjoy the music! And even if you don't.
