The order of the tracks has no deeper meaning. The list grows as I find the best tracks of the entire SoundCloud space and is purely subjective.

Mother Earth

In the beginning, everything often seems unclear, gloomy and hopeless. But then the first ideas come up, and little by little everything clears up until you clearly see where it can go. Be brave, have self-confidence and be tough when it's necessary.

be brave

Sometimes a song needs a special touch to bring it to its full potential and Finn  once again has transformed this very average little ugly Duckling song into a beautiful elegant White Swan  and lifted it to a height that only he can with his amazing vocal & production talents. Listen to more of Finns Songs https://soundcloud.com/finn_eces?utm_source=clipboard&utm_medium=text&utm_campaign=social_sharing
The song is about an ordinary Guy, could be you and I, He has no wings, he's good and he's bad, he's human not an Angel but when you need someone he is the one who is there for you in your hour of need and always will be , because he's  Solid. He's your friend . 
Thank you Finn.

Thank You so much for over 1400 plays ❤️

This is a second part of my triptych "Memories From the City of Light", begun with "Vital Signs". A love theme, a story of my heroes love – full of uncertainty, unfulfillment and even danger... Creating this piece I had in mind two couples: Rachel and Rick Deckard from Ridley Scott's "Blade Runner" and Irene and Driver from Nicolas Winding Refn's "Drive".

This track is also a homage to one of the greatest composers - Ewangelos Odiseas Papathanasiu aka Vangelis.

In production again I've reach out for help to Jörg aka @joerxworx and his tenor saxophone on which he beautifully performed, catching the atmosphere of this track in couple of amazing sounds – thank You my friend for Your patience!

Story behind the scenes:

This track was created one day (about 4 weeks ago) when I had one beer that went hard to my head. I sat before my computer and tried to listen my previous tracks and I felt very unsatisfied by all that music. It felt like everything was... heartless.
In that moment I took all my feelings, all memories of happy and not so happy love to create this track.

In the process I got mad at my 2 octaves Novation LaunchKey mini keyboard, because my hands almost couldn't fit both on such a small device... and I understood it limits my creativity... Time to change... something ;)

Also it's a first time I played without metronome. This track is completely devoid of tempo. These are the pure emotions of playing live.

The Space Between Us

Redheaded Blonde

This painting depicts the Yoshiwara district, a licensed red-light district in the Edo period of Japan. It's a unique cultural aspect of Japan, and explaining it fully here is challenging. Interestingly, some men genuinely proposed marriage to courtesans. To some, the courtesans working here might have seemed like starlight in the night sky.

Always stoked to work with my awesome friend and super talented composer/synthmeister John Buckle (@john-buckle-166792889)

This is Chapter 5 of our Elvenland saga. Hope you enjoy :)

As Raewyn ventures along the dark tunnel towards the Portal, she seems to hear whispered warnings echoing around her. Despite her trepidation, she slowly enters, but not before calling on the Ancient Ones to guide her through.

Inside the entrance she encounters the evil & terrifying Tresur Heldros, The Master of the Abyss and, as he speaks, she can hear the wails and laments of tortured souls who ventured there before her. 

However, Raewyn's Elven faith is unconquerable, and, as she bravely prepares to meet whatever fate awaits her, she remembers her ancient teachings.

Chained in a cave by the abyss, she patiently waits....

This one came out of the ether!
I was experimenting with different sounds from the 808 style drum machine, to combining synth's, electric guitar, ambient cello, violin and percussion together to create this piece. I was struggling with what to name it but because it got progressively heavier towards the end, heavy rain felt apt.
Guitar used - Yamaha Revstar Standard loaded with P90 pickups, played through my Line 6 HX Stomp.

Heavy Rain

These tracks are a mix of hip hop and R&B new sounds mixed with hip hop drums and hard-hitting drums.

UP DOWN

"Hymen Amen” a bold exploration of breaking social taboos and revealing hidden truths. 

Their unique music composition, lyrics, and melodies empower and resonate with our inner wildness and freedom, breathing new life into old traditions. "Hymen Amen" is a poetic testament to their commitment to promoting love, interconnectedness, and change.

The world is broken and all hope is lost but still the nomad wanders, into territories unknown he escaped but not without sin, now longing and searching for salvation...
