Those AI music creation sites now even do different languages and many singing styles. So I went for some Latin performed by female voices. My part again is some processing, arranging and mixing. BTW the cover is AI assisted as well ...

Phronesis Nautica

Annie (https://soundcloud.com/annie-dieu-le-veut) made another impressive story, that originally was thought of eventually fitting the sounds of Celestial Sovereign (https://soundcloud.com/api_zz/celestial-sovereign). It didn't fit. 
And that is more than great, since now that wonderful story was available for a new, lengthy prog/ambient/world track. Here it is.

Secret Fire

This is a genuine Pop song with a few extra elements, like 'bombast' strings and such ... Enjoy!

Ancient Tales

I had the great pleasure to musically illustrate a new "adventure" from Annie. 
All background to that journey is given at https://soundcloud.com/annie-dieu-le-veut/web-of-the-wyrd

Web Of The Wyrd

This track will guide you through an ancient technique which helps to retrieve and cultivate empowerment and magnetism.

@APi_ZZ has quite brilliantly used specific sound frequencies in the music which support this practice. He found that the resonance of my drumming was of the frequency 109 Hz, close to the 108 Hz which is the sound tuning used to heal the sacral chakra. So he fine-tuned the drumming frequencies to that exact 108 Hz.

He then put the whole thing to music, using flute and Tibetan sound bowls attuned to the frequency of 432 Hz. He also added a bowl drone sound (again at 432 Hz), augmented by bells chiming in deeply associated frequencies of (again) 108 Hz, 162 Hz, and 243 Hz and a second bowl at 364.5 Hz. These frequencies relate to the sacral, solar, heart and throat chakras.

Power - a guided practice

Annie came up with the story -- eh, THE story -- see her entry:

I had the "duty", but certainly mainly the pleasure to figure illustrative music for that. Here is our result.

Hero

quicksand

Over at Mix Challenge (https://mix-challenge.com/) they run the Songwriting Competition for September 2024; the theme is "Mental Health Awareness Month". Music is said to have a supportive effect when positively dealing with this matter. My contribution tries to do so with this softly chiming, meditative track.
UPDATE 09-21: Track got replaced by a slightly remixed version.

Conciliation

Being musician and artist "since ages", the last two decades and all the developments in digital music broadened my interests and activities in doing music actively and passively. Not being shy of any genre (OK, leave off some Punk and Extreme Metal derivates) I engage in composing, arranging, mixing and collaborating. 

Oh, and I do all my artwork and designs as well. And as you may notice I regard AI as a friendly helper.

Have a few looks & listens into my repertoire and eventually gain some insights. I'm always open for collabs if the the interests match ...
