very nice transition here...  really mellow...

and you've really captured that underwater feel...  beautiful production.   LOVE this.  added to my magic playlist #9 x

A beautiful dance between piano and strings.

so beautiful… nice piano melody and sound! good epic track👍✨!

How does a whale sleep? It can't hide somewhere underwater because it obviously has to breath every now and then. While the different sleeping methods dolphins, humpback whales or sperm whales have developed are interesting in itself, I wondered if something goes through their minds while they are sleeping. Do they dream? Do they relive their experiences of their journeys through the oceans? 

The song has an A-B-A form: falling asleep, a deep state of sleeping with episodic dreams, lighter sleep and waking up. The solo violin marks the transition into deep sleep and out of it, the first three tones of the 'out' are the last three tones of the 'in', but reversed. During the episodic dreams one synth imitates the click sounds of sperm whales. The polyphonic string quartet part in the end expresses the waking up - and also just how nice it is to (still) have creatures like whales in this world.

On the picture is the tail of a humpback whale. They sleep upside down. Sperm whales sleep the other way round. If you haven't seen that, check it out on Youtube, it looks incredible:

Lyrics:
Oh my days
When will we begin
To see that change
Has started
Started from within

The human race
Is so divided now
What will it take
To bring us
Bring us back to base

Into the future
Into the time of love
Into the future
Bring us all back to love
Into the future

It never ends
The governments that war
Whereas the people 
Don't want it
Don't want it anymore

Who are they
To say that we should fight
Those powerful leaders
Betray us
Betray us day and night

Into the future
Into the time of love
Into the future
Bring us all back to love
Into the future

The Future

"Moods 'n Waves"

They say different moods come in waves, and that was something I had in mind when making this song! Also if you listen carefully, you may recognize a familiar sound or two:) 

I used two virtual instruments here: the synth lead, bass and the keyboard all come from Arturia Mini-V (emulating the ever-so-lovely classic Minimoog synthesizer), and the drum track was programmed mainly with the EG Pulse drum machine/sampler for iOS, using the 707 drum kit.

This was played using a 37-key Korg microKEY Air midi keyboard as a midi controller. Don't ask what the chords are.. I have no idea:) I just started stacking voices and chords on top of each other and this is where I landed. 

Recorded and mixed in Cubase using iZotope Neutron. Mastered with iZotope Ozone.
 
Have a nice weekend!

Across the bay
Many many many miles away
See a crescent moon
Reflected in a field of poppies bloomed

Take a step into this vision, soon
Grab a flower and throw it at the moon

(YOU)
Don’t ask me how you’re gonna get there soon
(Don’t ask me, don’t ask me, do)
(YOU)
You might as well throw a flower at the moon

Throw a flower, a flower, at the moon
Throw a flower, a flower, at the moon

Save our wrecks
Oh then, say the best
Get it off your chest
Just another shipwreck

Another shipwreck
Get it off your chest
Another shipwreck
Get it off your chest
