A beautiful performance, perfectly titled.

Superb strings and transition here ... very nice

brilliant 😊 loved the structure and layers, very powerful 🙏

It sounds so big. It's a beautiful arranged piece, and masterfully played

I wanted to exploit the sound of one of my favourite folk instruments. The hurdy-gurdy is not heard so very often in the UK. What could be better than to use a medieval instrument for a leading-edge space opera like my essay into "The Vanished Birds"?

Several SoundClouders have remarked on the hurdy-gurdy. My own passion for it started in the 1990s when I found myself in a Breton village on the day of their hurdy-gurdy festival. We marched up and down through that village behind a band of 30 or 40 hurdy-gurdy players, with the odd Breton bagpiper and bombarde-player chipping in, as the mood took them. Somewhere, I still have my field recordings of the day. The tunes were simple and very catchy.

- Horn of Turandor - 
Chronicles of the Forsaken Chapter II
Epic Orchestral Music | Battle, Honor, and Destiny

⚔️ From the ashes of a brutal clash with the undead, the holy knights return—scarred, solemn, unbroken. As they ride through the gates of their ancient stronghold, the horns of Turandor echo across the stone walls, a resounding fanfare of resilience and might hailing the knights’ return.

🏰 The Fortress of Turandor, a monument to the unbreakable will of the holy knights. It is a bastion of hope for humans. But that hope is frail, with the rising evil hordes threatening the realm...

A realization. Only an all-out assault against the enemy might prove successful to bring peace...

📯 Sound the Horn! Prepare for battle!

🔥 A rising storm of drums and horns can be heard as the warriors prepare for battle once more. The tension is thick in the air, as the drums beats rises. Soldiers and knights alike put on their armors and pick up their deadliest weapons.

As the ranks are formed, the High-Paladin galvanize his troops, imbuing them with holy blessings and the will to carry out their duty. The warriors shouts in answer, their minds are set to battle.

🛡️ A final march to war—fully armed, fearless, and bound by oath.

Part of the Chronicles of the Forsaken saga, this chapter captures the weight of duty and the fire of purpose.

🎧 Listen, imagine, and ride with glory.

Chronicles of the Forsaken

Horn of Turandor - Chronicles of the Forsaken II

This is music I wrote more than ten years ago that I decided to remix as best I could. I was just learning how to lay down more than just a piano track and had absolutely no idea what I was doing. I always had engineers that did that for me before there were online sites like Soundcloud and others.  I have 2" recording studios tapes from 40+ years ago that has original music that I want to get remixed and there is no one near where I live. If anyone can help me out, let me know. I live in PA.

2nd Time Around

Ma raison s'est fracassée comme un miroir brisé et ses fragments se sont dispersés dans les profondeurs de ma conscience …. me laissant cette étrange impression de quelque chose perdu à jamais ….

Le Repos du Guerrier

My EP SUPERNOVA contains two Japanese songs, and this is one of them. I have never released a song in Japanese before, but I took the plunge and decided to release these. It's a song recorded in one take with my acoustic guitar and vocal. The tempo is middle tempo (I didn't use the metronome function so I don't know the BPM). 3m58s. The main genre is Folk. This is a gentle and slightly blue song. Link to major platforms : https://linkco.re/E2aRhZS6

Lyrics : (Alright)

悲しい湖を通り過ぎ
僕は明日へと辿り着く
もし僕が人生を捨てたなら
あなたは三度笑うでしょう

Let forever be
Let forever be
Let forever be
Let forever be
Let forever be
Let forever be
Let forever be

見知らぬ人に笑われて
僕は明日から戻るでしょう
僕の果てなき探究は
きっとあなたへと帰ってゆく

Let forever be
Let forever be
Let forever be
Let forever be
Let forever be
Let forever be
Let forever be

涙を見たくて
涙を流したくてOh
僕は僕は
きっと戻るね

悲しい湖を通り過ぎ
僕は明日へと辿り着く
もし僕が人生を捨てたなら
あなたは三度笑うでしょう

Let forever be
Let forever be
Let forever be
Let forever be
Let forever be
Let forever be
Let forever be

FOREVER BE

The Scent of Summer’s End

I dare you to listen to my recording, a One-take recording( from tonight, 29th September 2025), which I believe and hope you feel something, through mistakes which are as important as perfection, cause they give you the means and the guts to evolve. 
 Like my Soundcloud story started, I've been meaning to take you on a journey. You and I, You all.  

Enjoy!
