Description: Bram Cools: vocals, guitar, bass, pianoroll programming, Pocket operators PO12 & PO33, sound manipulations/ Lyrics adapted from St Paul in 1 Cor 13:1-3

This is a remix of the song "Fly To Paradise" by composer Eric Whitacre for the Virtual Choir 4 project.  I only used the stems he provided, my guitar, and a Nintendo Gameboy running LSDJ for everything you hear.   

Whitacre's style of using diatonic dissonance to create tension has been incredibly influential to my own work over the years.  It was kind of interesting to be able to pour some of that influence back into a reimagining of one of his songs.  

I wasn't sure how a choir and gameboy chip sounds would mix together, but as the song progressed I really felt the magic.  It was also a total mindfuck to take a renowned composers work, and have the gall to change the chords and notes around to my liking.  Oh well, just another challenge right?  

Hope you guys like this one, I think it turned out pretty special.

Nothing Without Love

Fatal Morgana

'The Wayfaring Stranger Song' or 'Poor Wayfaring Stranger' is a well-known and widely spread and covered American folk/gospel song 'about a plaintive soul searching its journey through life' and that dates back as far as 1858 (earliest known). 
Many of the greatest artists around, dead & alive, have committed to give it their best twist.

In added picture, my late father and friend ‘Marcel Milants’ as seen through the lens of @Marijke Van Biervliet…🙏

This drum and bass track is built around the Byzantine chant Deute Laoi ("Come people").

The Summoning

Zal ik ooit beroemd zijn?

Currently still trying to get the vocals right. Other than that, it's mostly finished. Get down on the floor with my DSM-IV, enough said.
