Imagine yourself enveloped in deep darkness, with an unsettling aura all around.

You've been given the green light, “Extreme Vengeance,” is to be exercised, but as the sun sets, it leaves behind a stunning display of swirling reds painted across a sandstorm-filled sky. Sounds nice....but

This creates a particularly perilous environment for your task.

Against this dramatic backdrop, a crackling radio in your ear suddenly breaks the stillness with a mysterious message: “Vampire… 3 minutes, 47 seconds.”

Sweeping sweat from your brow, you move carefully across the landscape, your attention narrowed through a powerful scope.

Veterans are all too familiar with scenes like this; they've survived these heart-pounding moments repeatedly. In high-pressure scenarios like these, each action is intentional, and every breath carries a weight of significance.

The night is alive with tension, momentarily lit by flashes erupting from shattered windows. You hear the quiet thumps of suppressed gunfire. Then, in a mere 3.47 seconds, you slip back into the shadows, your presence as fleeting as the light that just vanished.

Remaining intensely focused and breathing deeply in anticipation becomes second nature, an integral part of who they are—even when they find themselves at home, surrounded by comfort.

How does one genuinely “come back to normal” after facing such raw intensity?

These experiences etch themselves into your memory, leaving a lasting mark, a tribute to the remarkable skill and brave spirit of those who selflessly serve their country in the face of danger and uncertainty.

behind the song: Audio construction time: 10 years.  (!!!) When we were working on Agade, https://soundcloud.com/brainstorm-operations/agade-ii I fell in love with the sounds we chose. I was working privately with some of them, to create the re-enactment of a firefight, that runs it's course. 

It's 2025, and PTSD issues still persist.

Welcome to the BrainStorm Experience, where the enchanting realms of music and storytelling unite for an unforgettable adventure. More than just a collection of songs, each track holds a story waiting to be uncovered, inviting you to delve deeper than mere listening and connect with the emotions and narratives intricately woven into every melody. To enrich your journey, we provide insightful notes and timestamps, your guides to discovering the very essence of each composition.

Our vision extends beyond the auditory. We've created a stunning visual experience, transforming your mobile device into a vibrant gallery. As you explore the tracks, each image serves as a companion to the music, encouraging reflection and sparking inspiration.

To further enhance this immersive experience, we gently suggest the use of headphones. While not a necessity, a quality pair can profoundly transform your engagement with the music, revealing subtle details and layers that might otherwise be missed, crafting a rich tapestry of sound that invites a state of blissful relaxation.

At BrainStorm Operations, our core goal is to offer a peaceful escape from the demands of everyday life. With over ten and a half hours of carefully curated content, we aim to provide a seamless journey that helps you unwind and find solace from your daily routine.

*Disclaimer*  

I must acknowledge the fantastic source of my artwork: Desktopography - desktopography.net/. I am also a part of three art collectives: Desktopography, depthCORE, and EvokeONE, where I have served as the music director.  

I have been fortunate enough to use their incredible works in this format. The heart of this experience lies in the stunning artwork contributed by the talented artists from all three collectives, lending a unique charm and beauty to the BrainStorm visual treasure.

Latest Updates: 
Have been remastering some of my 'unloved' tracks from the past here on SC - music which has not received as many plays as I would have expected. Maybe 2nd time around your might like it.
The 2025 remastered tracks are being readied for my best of 2025 album in 2026, available January 2026.
I do not use AI on any of my work, just blood sweat and tears, and a lot of emotion/feelings. The reason I have so much music on SC is that I love making music and it is my life. Also I love to share my work with you all, please enjoy.
Have recently discovered some old tracks which I did back in 2009 but have never been previously released or worked on further. Decided to let them see the light of day, unedited and unpolished. Hope you enjoy them and can see where my humble beginnings started.
Also new for Autumn 2025, a collection of classical piano pieces which I composed back in 2010, in memory of my late father who inspired me to play the keyboard in the first place. Under the title of Magician In Private, hope you will allow my indulgence into a special world of just simple piano, no frills.
Please checkout my vast collection of playlists. All my best music is on there in one place. Is free to listen to or sleep with.
From 1st June 2025, celebrating 10 years of KORG KRONOS music with lots of brand new music showcasing the wonders of this iconic workstation in all it's glory. Also as a nod to the release of the KRONOS 3, which will take KORG into the next generation.
All my albums in full quality are available on Bandcamp, please check out the link below.
Have recently taken a short holiday to recharge my batteries and top up my creative juices. Thank you to all my followers for your continued support and encouragement, means the world to me.
Over 10K minutes uploaded, over 1500 tracks - am sure there is something in there for everybody to enjoy. I love making music. Hope it matters to you.
Am posting some Jarre sounding pieces as homage to my lifelong hero of electronic music, using some of the sounds and instruments he has used along the way. Jar of Jarre is my collection of memorable sounds which have changed the way we appreciate modern electro.
Keep an eye out for my new collection of 2024 Remastered best of tracks, coming soon.
New year, new start. Back on the search for good music and inspiration. Will be featuring a lot of my older work remastered this year, seems like a long time since I began my composing journey back in 2000.
Happy New Year to all my followers, May 2025 be filled with musical magic. 
Thank you for all your kind comments and support throughout 2024 I do appreciate it. Stay safe and love each other.
All my remastered best tunes from 2015 to 2023 are now available to buy on Bandcamp.
Am back to making regular music now but sorry no Christmas songs this year. This time of year is very hard for me as it is when my father became very ill and died in the new year 2010. I still miss him very much but hope he would be proud of my musical journey, he is my number one inspiration.
Just a quick personal note on AI and music. I think it is not a good thing for the creative side of music and a lot of it comes without feelings or soul. Creativity is a gift, and should be greatly valued, cherished and nurtured. Music is what makes us human and can never be replaced by a computer.
Finished remastering up to and including 2023 now. Has been a mammoth task but well worth the effort. Next year I shall be working on a remastered series of my pre KORG days 2000 to 2008, in 8 volumes, as well as celebrating in style my 10 years of KRONOS magic, can't wait for 2025.
Have now amassed over 1000 tracks on SC (that's over 8000 minutes of music) and it has been a blast sharing them with you all. Next year 2025, marks the 10th anniversary of the start of my KORG journey.
Am currently putting together a remastered Anthology collection of all my best tracks from 2015 onwards. 2015 consists of a 3 volume set (Now available on Bandcamp). 2016 consists of a 4 volume set. (Also available on Bandcamp). 2017 consists of a 4 volume set. (Available on Bandcamp) 2018 consists of a 4 volume set. (Also available on Bandcamp). 2019 consists of a 4 volume set.

If you would like to listen to more of Magician, especially retro older tracks please checkout Bandcamp (see link below).
Have recently been rediscovering some of my older music pre KORG days and remastering for uploading to my cloud. Hope you like. Seems such a long time ago now.
I have been lucky to have music in my life, and now the time to explore how it can affect other people. I have discovered many new talented artists on SC and am happy to encourage and support their work; from small beginnings come great things. Please be inspired to be your best, inspire others too, encourage those who lack the inner courage to move forward, and together we can make music make a difference in all our lives.
Am spending a lot more time on my music now since retiring from work in July 2020. Always learning new techniques and honing my craft. Am comfortable now with all chord sequences throughout the scales and loving improvising with the help of my mighty KORG still. Am still trying to give my full support and encouragement to all SC users and some latest (you know who you are), are developing nicely. Be good to one another, be gracious to others, leave your ego out of your life and above all else remember there is always someone worse off than yourself. 
Please be kind to each other, to be happy with our lot without jealousy or greed; to give without asking the cost; to love as if there is no tomorrow; to share and inspire others who may be less fortunate than us; most of all to enjoy life for the joy of living, for we know not what the morning brings - stay safe my friends, be strong and always stay positive; remember life changes - DON'T let it change you!!  
Music is my life - has helped me through many dark places, is a big part of who I am. I put my heart and soul into every single piece of music I produce. I have found many wonderful friends on SC and many exciting talented people.  Been writing and producing music now for 40 years plus. Specialised in electronic based orchestral compositions. I have created my own genre which I call 'electrorchestration'.
Favourite artists/bands include Gary Numan, Little Boots, Jools Holland, Eno, Edgar Froese (1944-2015), Jordan Rudess, Kebu, Madis, Keith Emerson (1944-2016), Rick Wakeman, Richard Wright (1943-2008), Pink Floyd, Tangerine Dream, Vangelis, Jean Michel Jarre, M83, Public Service Broadcasting, Dream Theater, ELP, Yes and Mystery to name but a few.

Rust Cutler has no money, so he only experiments with low-cost synthesizers and no Digital Audio Workstation (DAW). He'd rather have hardware that makes interesting sounds than a decent computer. He never thought he'd have to point out that no artificial intelligence is used in his compositions, but apparently we are now in that world. Rust Cutler strongly believes limitations spark creativity and enjoys creating a melody where perhaps none should exist.  All tracks are single musician, single take recordings with no editing and no processing except onboard effects. Everything you hear is how it sounded at the moment it occurred, then posted under the name, Dancing With Tea. Rust Cutler hopes you enjoy these experiments.

Thank you for taking the time to listen to my tunes, for the love and for your music ✨️

The soul that will always be misunderstood.

Our world is full of unfairness and I hate it, because I am noone... I am mental ill for others... and I cant change it...

I am only honest to people, but they don't wanna hear truth because it is pain.

Noone is perfect you need accept it.
