„My name is Murphy. I am a private investigator of the old school. Some say I'm the typical snoop dog, working without these modern technological gadgets like my colleagues. Maybe that's the reason why I have only a few jobs and I'm always broke. Anyway, a new case is coming up, and once again it's giving me a headache. This time it's going to be tricky. All the traces leads to nowhere, but I'll crack the case somehow, as always. Think, Murphy, think…“

This little piece should fit to an intro of a TV-series that maybe set in the film-noir style of the old days (I hope). I had the idea for this track while composing on a video project, I have worked on for over one year. That's the reason why I haven't released any new pieces for a long time. Now I'm back and hope that you like this piece :-)

Enjoy listening

Detective Murphy

Just a moment to escape from the stress and problems of everyday life. Just a moment to take time for yourself. Just a moment to close your eyes and dance on the clouds.

I wrote this piece as a balance of all the problems, worries and negative happenings in our world (the personal and global). It should distract us a little from all these things and bring us to other positive thoughts. I hope that I have succeeded.
Enjoy listening :-)

The mating dance

Everyone knows this one moment, the moment when it seems like the world stops, the moment that remains unforgettable. Even years later, we remember this when our thoughts suddenly wander back there and conjures us in hard times again a smile on the lips.

This is a remake of a piece I composed about 10 years ago. Only now I have been able to capture the emotions with new instruments as I had in mind at the time.

Memories

One Moment

Even if some situations seem hopeless, there is always a way out. At the end of a road a new path begins. At the end, there is hope

At the end of the road

On some days we stand in front of the mirror and see our dreams which we want to reach. On other days we look into the same broken dreams.

Dreams behind the (broken) mirror

This piece is a remake of "The Journey Of A Thousand Miles" originally composed by my friend Thom aka @eSyrup. 

Thom composed a great orchestral piece here, with beautiful melodies that fascinated me from the first moment, so that I wanted to create a version that would come even closer to an original orchestra.

My version is based on his melodies, harmonies and the arrangement. I tried to make the piece to sound more symphonic and partially epic by using new sounds and re-orchestrating it (in this case the interaction of the instruments). And of course I also added some of my personal style. :-)

Thom, thank you so much for this opportunity. I have learned so much from this collaboration. 

You can listen to the original piece here:  https://soundcloud.com/esyrup/the-journey-of-a-thousand-steps

eSyrup - The Journey Of A Thousand Miles (Athanasios Koranis Remake)

Somewhere in the mountains of the Balkans…
The old man walks one last time through the woods where he has spent his whole life, knowing that the end is near. With his last strength he reaches the lake where he spent a lot of time in his childhood. Reflected by the crystal clear water, he looks into his mirror image and relives the many moments that marked his long life. His careful childhood, the great love of his life, the birth of his children, the war and the losses, his peaceful life as a shepherd and much more.
Hope, suffering, happiness and many other emotions flow through his body as he closes his eyes with a smile…
