The sun returns above the horizon for the first time in three months!


Winter - First Light

The Cover image is of the Holocaust Memorial in Berlin, Germany.  Although I composed this with my own fading memories in mind, I think it is just as appropriate for the many events in our recent human history we should try not to forget. Even though they may be fading for some of us.
That goes for both the good and the bad.

Fading Memories

Passing Through
A mood piece to help you relax and clear your mind. The piano-like improvisation is backed by orchestral strings.

Passing Through

Endless Peace
An ambient track with some choral and orchestral elements.

Dancing with Wolves

Dancing With Wolves

Cosmic Sails Drifting in a Solar Wind is the full title of this piece. I have re-mastered it and shortened the title. :-)
The inspiration for this piece came from hearing a loose sail flapping in the wind on a yacht in the local lakeside harbour.

Synth: Arturia Pigments 3.5
DAW: Presonus Studio One (original) re-masterd using FL Studio 21

Cosmic Sails

Originally released in August 2023 with just a Synth lead.
 A week or so ago I bought a Virtual Instrument called Small String Gestures, from the Crow Hill Music Company, and added them.
I think they give the piece a bit more depth.

Cover Artwork: L E Bojkovic

Synth: Vital
VST: Small String Gestures from The Crow Hill Company

Early One Morning

An improvisation around a minor scale with some Eastern European and Slavic influences.

Accidental Memories

Improvisation after a walk in the forest.

Afterwards

An ambient piece depicting a close encounter. When something not seen but felt, is getting closer but then passes you by. As it fades away you are not sure whether or not you were in danger. Only that whatever it was, it was massive. Like a Blue Whale passing under a rowing boat.

Tech Notes. FL Studio 24. Arturia Pigments Synth, FL Flex Synth, Crow Hill Small String Gestures.

A Close Encounter 1

An ambient piece depicting a close encounter.
Imagine you are blue whale having a sing-song with some of your friends. All is fine until you have a close encounter.

Tech Notes.
FL Studio 24. Arturia Pigments Synth, FL Flex Synth, Crow Hill Company Small String Gestures. Spitfire Audio Alev Lenz.

A Close Encounter 2

An improvisation around Celtic and English traditional melodies.

Recorded in one take on my Korg Krome Music Workstation in July, 2024.

Dancing Runes

Final part of a trilogy to do with experiencing something felt rather than seen.

Technical Notes: Composed using FL Studio 24, FL Flex synth, Spitfire Audio LABS Cello Moods & BBC SO Flutes, Crow Hill Company Small String Gestures.

A Close Encounter 3

This began as an improvisation on piano to which I later added some strings using Crow Hill's Small String Gestures plug-in. The idea came from a restless night I had and a vague dream that included the sound of a  piano. A piano being played in a cavern.

Blurred Dreams

I composed this to help comfort me and get me through a sad time. I hope it will help others too.

Solace

I think of this piece as the kind of music you can close your eyes to and just drift off into your own imagination.

Drifting

Listen to the wind

I am retired and while away my time composing music, writing flash fiction and taking photographs.
I live in Lahti, Finland.
