A song about a river, although my memory is possibly untrustworthy. I wrote and recorded it in January 2023, and mastered it in April. This track features on Ambient Online Compilation Volume 26, although the mastering will differ slightly from this version.

Bathe At Your Own Risk

This track is taken from my new album.
Immersed in ethereal soundscapes, the album "Atmosphere’s, Ambiences, Soundscapes and Dreams Volume 1" transcends conventional boundaries. Its meticulously crafted atmospheres and ambiances transport listeners to otherworldly realms. The engineered soundscapes create a mesmerizing auditory journey. Each track unfolds like a vivid dream, painting landscapes of emotion and imagination. An evocative exploration of sonic dreams, this album is a testament to the power of atmospheric storytelling. The project, the first of four volumes, consist of tracks done for short film, installations, games atmospheres and my own dreams. I hope you enjoy it.

This piece was inspired by taking a walk during a snowfall. You hear wind and you might also hear the quiet sound of snowflakes falling, but snow tames down most other sounds. That creates a peaceful and dreamlike feeling.

Chapter 1: The Saga Begins - Blue Night: A Twin Song
On a peaceful and enchanting blue night, a captivating tune called "Saga" played in the air. The melody was so mesmerizing that it transported listeners to a realm of tranquility and self-reflection beneath the glittering stars. What's even better, Saga's sister is just as beautiful.

Did you know that the unique "racketball snare sound" that appears halfway through Saga's music is created by Nigel Stanford? His distinctive sound has left a lasting impact on the music.

Bluenight - Part I - Saga: Final Remaster

I often have dreams about traveling back in time to the days when I was a kid. Sometimes, I'm aware I'm dreaming, sometimes I'm not. Each time I can remember everything vividly. People's faces, the texture of objects, everything. Sometimes I can even remember toys or clothes I had as a kid, but forgot about in waking life.
The last time I was wondering if I would stay in that dream If I could.
The answer, of course is no. I still have a job to do here - make more music :)))
The past is the past. There's nothing left to gain from it, but inspiration.

In the realm of Toril, amidst the underwater wonders near The Green Sisters, Neria's story unfolded like the undulating currents of a hidden sea. Born into the embrace of this mystical archipelago, her origins were humble but destined for a variety of adventures beneath the waves.

Neria came into the world in a modest underwater grotto, a place surrounded by bioluminescent flora and the gentle hum of aquatic life. The Great Lighthouse of St. Ippen Island, a towering beacon even visible from the depths, watched over her childhood. Her days were spent exploring the vibrant coral reefs, listening to the ancient stories told by the triton elders, and dreaming of the mysteries that lay beyond the light's reach.

Her first taste of the extraordinary came at the age of ten when she ventured into the Whispering Caves, a mystical underwater cavern rumored to be alive with ancient magic. Amongst the phosphorescent flora and ethereal creatures, she discovered an abandoned elven artifact—a talisman that would later become a cherished possession.

As she grew older, curiosity led Neria beyond the familiar waters of The Green Sisters. Her travels took her along the seafloor, where she marveled at the diverse landscapes of the underwater realms and encountered creatures vastly different from her own. These journeys ignited a hunger for knowledge and adventure that would shape her future.

It was during her search for rare pearls in the Gulf of Cordell that fate intervened. In the luminescent glow of coral, casting an otherworldly aura, a figure appeared on the horizon. It was Ariann of Myth Nantar, a seasoned triton whose azure skin and scales reflected the beauty of the ocean depths. Despite her imposing appearance, Ariann swam with a weariness that bespoke a journey both arduous and long.

Neria, with the keen senses of her triton heritage, detected Ariann's approach. Intrigued by the sight of a fellow triton, albeit with unfamiliar azure hues, Neria swam out to greet her. The two tritons exchanged greetings, their voices carried by the currents in a melody known only to the denizens of the sea.

Ariann, though weary, spoke with the eloquence of one well-versed in the ways of the ocean. Neria, equally curious and welcoming, invited her new acquaintance to swim with her to the hidden enclave where her family resided. Under the cool, cerulean waters, they conversed about their respective homes, the wonders of the sea, and the secrets held by the Green Sisters.

"Vampire 2-1.... Vampire Lead."

"I've got your six, while you look around. "

As I gaze upon the landscape ahead from this vantage point, much of ancient history seems obscured beneath the sandy terrain.

Legends persist of a once-magnificent kingdom in this dusty expanse. Agade, the crown jewel of empires, where a wise monarch named Naram-Sin recognized that true strength lies in compassion.

As our bird hovers above canyons and remnants, I envision the grandeur that once stood tall. The tension held in the formidable, foreboding bass line, occasionally stirred by the echoes of bygone eras.

In a staccato rhythm, we seek to recreate the concept of towering ziggurats reaching out to the distant gods, streets pulsating with the presence of scholars and art from every corner, united in their pursuit of answers.

Under Naram-Sin's guidance, knowledge, rather than conquest, became Agade's most prized export.

Its renown grew through the exchange of insights, not victories on the battlefield.

But as the poets gently remind us, nothing precious can endure forever. Time and the tides of war slowly eroded the walls of Agade, as heard at the 3:34 mark.

Yet, perhaps the spirit of Naram-Sin still lingers here, a testament to the nurturing of creativity instead of the clash of steel. It serves as a reminder that when leaders foster innovation rather than invasion, even deserts can flourish.

So let us share with those who lend an ear, tales of how kindness, not brute force alone, elevates a land to glory.

"Vampire 2-1, you are cleared to scout ahead." The radio screeches, "Watch those dunes!"

History has left messages here if we know where to listen, I think to myself.

"Vampire Lead, out."

Looking at the terrain ahead, it might be worth putting eyes on that half-buried archway sticking up about two klicks north. @4:30 we set down and explore the rest by foot.

My maps ID it as what's left of the Ishtar Gate, which once marked Babylon's royal entrance in all her glory.

They say King Nebuchadnezzar had it plated with solid blue glazed bricks.

Hmm...

Any kingdom that gets so caught up in flash... eventually blinds itself.

Hey there, welcome to the BrainStorm Experience!

I wanted to take a moment to share with you what makes this journey so special to me. 

We believe in the power of storytelling through music. Each song we've chosen has a unique story behind it, and we want you to connect with that story. That's why we provide explanations and time stamps, so you can dive deeper into the emotional journey of each track. It's like discovering the hidden meanings and personal experiences within the melodies.

But it doesn't stop there! We've also curated a visual experience that complements the music perfectly. When you scroll through the tracks on your mobile device, it's like flipping through an art gallery filled with creativity and inspiration. It adds another layer of depth to your listening experience.

And here's a little secret: headphones are the ultimate enhancer. While not mandatory, putting on a pair of headphones allows you to fully immerse yourself in the music. You'll notice the intricate details and subtle layers that make each track truly special. It's like stepping into a world of pure relaxation and escape.

At BrainStorm Operations, we're dedicated to creating an oasis of calm in the chaotic world. With over 10 and a half hours of carefully curated material, we've poured our hearts into crafting a seamless musical journey. Our goal is to provide you with a space to unwind and find tranquility, away from the stresses of everyday life.

Finally, I want to express my sincere gratitude to all the amazing listeners who support us on this journey. It's an honor to share this experience with you. So, sit back, relax, and enjoy the smooth flight on this musical adventure. Thank you for choosing to join us at BrainStorm Operations.
