Chasing The Horizon

Welcome to my artist page!

Music is more than just sound—it's emotion, experience, and storytelling. Through my compositions, I strive to give melodies a voice that speaks of the moments, memories, and feelings that move me. Each piece is a reflection of my journey, a way to capture and share the depth of emotions that words alone cannot express.

My greatest wish is to create music that resonates with you, that evokes emotions, and that perhaps even becomes part of your own story. Whether it's a feeling of nostalgia, peace, or inspiration, I hope my sounds accompany you on your path and bring you beautiful, meaningful moments.

If you enjoy my work and would like to support me, I’d truly appreciate it. You can find all the relevant links below.

Thank you for being here, for listening, and for sharing this journey with me.

With love and music,
Reýem

This is a genre called Talking Rock. I love '70s West Coast American music. It's the music that inspires me. I also like Ennio Morricone's style. Then I mix it all up. I play electric, classical, acoustic, and 12-chord guitar. I also play bass.

Chris Drabble, based in the Northwest of England, is a rock guitarist who has over 50 years of playing experience.
With nearly 50K streams on SoundCloud in the last 12 months being a mixture of Guitar Rock and softer Ambient instrumental tracks, Chris is now ramping up his rock guitar work with his latest album ‘Foot to the Floor’, which harks back to his youth when rock guitar tracks had a catchy opening riff, and was the sort exciting music you felt you had to tap your foot to. 
His influences include Rush, Led Zeppelin, The Police, Simple Minds, Pink Floyd, Joe Satriani and Jimi Hendrix. He is currently listening to Porcupine Tree, Dream Theatre.

Please also visit my youtube channel, linked below, where I post videos about synth settings, some tracks ...

Singer/Songwriter based in Bucks. Song that are all inspired by the life that surrounds me. I've been writing and playing my own songs for many a year now. I've recorded 3 Albums and over a short time I hope to share them with you. Eash song has a deep meaning for me, I would feel humbled if anyone felt a meaning for themselves.

Music forever!
I've always loved music, more for playing it or, more precisely, inventing it (by which I mean writing it, composing it) than for listening to it. My inspirations range from ancient music to the most contemporary. I have no limits in my tastes, well not too many... As they say, there's good music and bad music, and only time can decide which is which... and often there are surprises.

Just a place for silly stuff..... who don't like silly stuff? Also a place for magick moments, drunk aerobics, swimming spaceships and a good cuppa tea.  Everything here is from the heart.. but we're drunk, shitface, magotly wrecked.  Remeber... no great song came from eating a salard. BUT NO A.I. used... yet!
