Sometimes, things happen that you couldn’t foresee. The story behind these tracks is that I had actually forgotten about them, and while cleaning up, I stumbled upon these pieces made in 2023. Well, I just remastered them and here they are now, seeing the light of day years later.

Musically, it leans again towards neoclassicism, orchesdrone, guitar and cello here. But actually, it’s very subtle and my signature sound is very present. Just listen for yourself.

New Sincerity rejects postmodern irony, detachment, and cynicism, instead pursuing direct expression, vulnerability, and emotional resonance. This concept embodies a return to seriously and openly exploring one's emotions and the fundamental nature of things, without unnecessary, contrived meanings.

As often happens, this didn’t go to plan, possibly for the best.

Several stretched and treated versions underlie an increasingly chaotic mangled version of the track. That’s all.

I played a lot of 78s as a kid (I still have many of them) so I love the old shellac crackle and hiss, which is why it’s featured and exaggerated.

The Assignment: Rework a shared recording from over 100 years ago

There is just one step to this project: This week’s project, the next to last of 2025, is a community remix. In an act of globe-spanning asynchronous holiday-season camaraderie, we’ll all work from the same shared source material, a recording that dates back well over 100 years. Download the performance of “Nina” by Hans Kindler (1892 – 1949) and remix it and rework it to your heart’s delight. The recording credits G. B. Pergolesi (1710 – 1736) as the work’s composer, but more recently it has become attributed to Vincenzo Legrenzo Ciampi (1719 – 1762).

Breath of the Forest”

Hawkdream is a live instrumental music project founded by Brian Brown, who is a talented musician from the UK. He creates some of the coolest spacey synth music out there! He started out in 2012 and so far has released over 17 Hawkdream albums. The music of Hawkdream has layers upon layers of diverse, spatial ambience. There is also some really cool Tangerine Dream elements interwoven at times. Anyone digging Kitaro or Vangelis will also dig this music! In our opinion, there seems to be an overall feeling of Nature flowing with the Earth as one, a true essence of serenity merging with the dark waves of time.

AstroConnect.
 AstroConnect is Brian Brown (HawkDream) and
Manny Leigh. Brian is located in the UK and Manny is in
the US northwest, almost 5000 miles apart. AstroConnect is
an electronic duo performing mostly ambient, some Berlin
style and sometimes a little neurotic chaos for your
listening pleasure.
 All AstroConnect music is recorded 100% live via the
Internet no overdubs. We don't rehearse. We may have a
simple idea and just get to it, maybe choose a chord
progression. The recorded tracks are all improvised on the
spot.
 Brian performs Synth Voodoo on his bank of
synthesizers including a Roland Jupiter 80, Yamaha Motive
7, Motive 6, EX7, CS1X(x2). Manny primarily uses a
Yamaha WX5 Wind controller and sometimes throws in
some keyboard controller stuff, maybe some guitar, both
midi and magnetic. Often it gets so deep that nobody
knows who is playing what. It all just flows together into
one great track. This is the essence of playing 100% LIVE
half a world apart.  AstroConnect started playing live in 2013, the tracks
were limited to mono only, so some of the effects were a
little weak. This was due to internet limitations and
hardware deficiencies. In the summer of 2014 Manny
added more hardware and worked out the process of
recording in high quality stereo. AstroConnect hopes the
sound is now up to your headphone listening standards.
Please don't forget this is all recorded 100% live almost
5000 miles apart, that's why were called AstroConnect!
