Above And Beyond - Clive Button

What I am creating here is a personal experience for each listener, to carry them away on a magic carpet ride of musical indulgence to be enjoyed individually and privately rather than in large crowds or groups as in the case of many other forms of music. 
All tracks are also created exclusively using headphones because this is the way virtually everybody hears music these days. So please listen using a good pair of headphones to get the best from these tracks.

The tracks here are just a small sample of my music. A few examples from my 300 or so compositions.

Above are links to pages relating to my music. Most importantly have a look at the web site; this is the main hub that contains details on all my albums and compositions.
I have now upgraded this with full length tracks in place of the 2 x 1 minute samples for each and every album. There is now over 3 hours of music you can listen to for FREE.

All my music compositions fall basically within the category of chillout but encompass a wide range of styles. I love synthesizers and creating interesting sounds and instruments using these. I also use many familiar instruments such as pianos and guitars plus orchestral sounds and a host of everyday sounds such as my printer, sandpapering, rhythmic pots and pans from round the house, and everyday domestic noises all mixed in together to create the finished piece of music.

I spend literally ages ensuring all sounds within a track work well together and very often end up removing parts that do not fit as well as I had wished. I tweak all aspects of every sounds, for instance to make the decay on an instrument fit precisely to the tempo of the track, altering EQ to give space for various musical parts to coexist without clashing.
I use multiple effects devices throughout the entire composition and often as just spot effects on single notes or phrases.
I use panning of instruments and effects extensively in almost all tracks as well as working exclusively on headphones as this is the way that almost all music these days is heard.

Every album I release contains a majority of what could be considered relaxing, chillout tracks, and then there are always at least one orchestral based composition and one or two funky tracks (something with a bit more of a groove). Every now and then I also throw in an ambient track taking you on a mystical journey through soundscapes of the mind.

I hope you enjoy my music as much as I enjoy creating it. I spend every day creating more just because I love it. It is pure and absolute enjoyment for me and I cannot think of anything I would rather be doing than this. Music is life…….

Hello dear listeners of Guido’s Lounge Cafe.
When I started Guido’s Lounge Café back in 2012 on soundcloud, who would know what for a fantastic ride this would be?! I met so many nice friends on here, so many I would never believe if you told me this before. So that is why I created this special message for all my friends, artists, labels and DJ colleagues. 

I want to thank you all for making these years, unforgettable years.. so from the bottom of my heart.. THANK YOU ALL!!!

But for me .. soundcloud is a ending journey, there are too many issues on here. Issues I do understand, but never the less, it’s not working for me anymore like it has before. This soundcloud journey comes to an end.

Guido’s Lounge cafe will be still on Mixcloud and Promodj, so this journey for me is not the end, it’s just a new beginning and a continuing on other platforms. The most of you know me all ready and know where to find me, for the people who don’t know yet. Do know now.  

Thank you for making these years on soundcloud.. great years!

Sincerely yours,
Guido
(Guido’s Lounge Cafe)
