Here I recycled the introduction of "Off The Beaten Track" because I found it deep and gripping and I wanted to give it more depth and singularity. I hope I succeeded.

That being said, I also wanted to draw attention to the synchronicity of this piece and my current psychological state. Indeed, during the period when I created this piece, I was precisely in a reflexion and a retrospective on the fact that I had created a real caesura with certain things in my life (toxic people around me / toxic situations / conflicting thoughts / my vision of things as well as my way of interacting with my direct environment, among others), so even if I am not specifically one of those who think that each things / works finds a particular echo and a deep meaning in certain parts of our life, I find that this piece perfectly describes these thoughts there, deeply. It is even disturbing. So much so that one could really interpret this piece as a sound metaphor of these thoughts.

Amongst The Rushes, (Naviarhaiku 576 )

I imagined a walk in the woods, which starts out blissfully enough and then ends in darkness and a tangle of aggressive branches and unseen monsters. Hence the cheery sequence, all in C major, that starts off the track which then begins to break down, first with a bit of dissonance before being completely taken over by a low drone that takes the hapless walker into the dark lodge of their dreams. All this was done in Logic, using Arturia's "mallets" plug in and granular effects.

Amongst the rushes,
a stillness comes over us -
Heron in winter.

Gentle Space

I found a sound that sounded familiar because it sounds like something I heard a couple of times in (short) video’s on social media platforms. I thought “what the heck” and in a ‘weak moment’ I decided to just jump the bandwagon. It’s a nice ominous sounding sound but at the same time mysterious and almost reassuring. I made a simple melody and put some synths and bass underneath. This sound is called “AphexTone” and comes from Carbon 2 (Reaktor library). As usual I’ve used a Spitfire Audio soundpackage. This time it’s from GAIKA’s “War Island”. I’ve also used the soundbank Ethereal Earth from Kontakt’s “Play Series Collection” and a sound from “Hypho” which is also by Kontakt. Just like in the last song I’ve posted I tried to make a guitar-sound from something that isn’t a guitar. It turned out pretty good. This song is nice and short (like a intermezzo piece) and I like to think of it like as a theme from a non-existing mysterious ‘old-school’ television series like the “X-Files” (or something like that). The title is an anagram of AphexTone. The picture is of a cuttlefish I saw near the coast of Tulamben in Bali. With some filters it looks even more alien especially with the light and the background that looks like it’s from an alien planet.

A Next Hope

A simple and gentle piano melody supported by a string orchestration. I couldn't sleep so wrote this reflective track in the wee hours and recorded it later that same day. For all the dads out there with daughters........ Please enjoy........Mark
