The Easton Ellises - Falcon 69 (CI Section Remix)

Ethereal Phase

Produced in 2000. The last third is meant to be a hommage to Eric Satie somehow...

Autumn

The wonderful, meditative a-capella original is almost impossible to be performed on computer. However, it's worth a trial. Slightly shortened, different text-phrases (but latin :-)and added some texture as well as morphing backings it could work... leaving the sacral ambience as far as possible. 
(And yes, couldn't help adding some elve-vocal around 4:00 ;-))

Arvo Pärt - Magnificat (CI Section Version)

The beginning was too beautiful, so I felt something must happen ...

An Unexpected Incident

repetitive descending string motif with vocal ambient; sad but not gloomy...

Phrase de la Lune descendante

This is supposed to be a sequel to "Phrase de la Lune descendante" (a bit more extensive)

Red Moon Rising

This piece reflects the tradition of minimal music from the 60's and 70's decade, namely Phil Glass and Steve Reich, just to name two famous composers I like. Characterized by ostinatos and moving patterns using orchestral instruments, weaving into a sound carpet which may offer new harmonic and rhythmic shifts every time hearing. Hope it works halfways :)
The difficulty is, to get a homogeneous, flowing sound with still enough precision to perceive phase shifts as rhythm texture without gliding into a slurry mud…

Desert Road

Wanted to do something melancholic with felt piano sound, evolving into a more epic end.

Hi, I’m Martin, composing and producing music since many years now – just for fun, not as profession. On this site I want to share some solo works, previously unreleased tracks and more soundrack and cross-genre works in progress. Comments are welcome.
