…and that’s my policy:
I always try to see and appreciate the creativity of others! If it flatters the ears, so much the better!☺️
Don't please anyone and you're special.😉 That's exactly my thing, not to be mainstream and not to conform to any genre. You feel free and can do what you want. A lot of people give me tips: you're too quiet, you have to structure it like this, etc. I don't have to do anything! I make my music and not that of others!😜✊🏻

Feel free to do the same.
Peace be with you!🙏🏼

Hi, I’m Axel.
After a longer musical hibernation, I started making music again about three years ago – and honestly, it feels amazing! I’ve been hanging around on SoundCloud for about two years now, and I’m constantly blown away by the creativity, variety, and real talent to be found here.

Music is just a hobby for me – which is exactly why I have zero ambitions to make money with it. I’m here simply because it’s fun. So, a small request: Dear annoying promoters with your shady offers – please save us both the trouble, I’m not your guy. I’m not chasing follower counts, click records, or streaming millions. Sure, I’m happy when people listen – but what I value most is connecting with a few honest musicians who feel the same way I do. Quality over quantity, you know?

I play keyboards and have already had the pleasure of creating songs together with some wonderful musicians I met right here on SoundCloud – something I’d love to keep doing. For me, collaboration and exchange are a huge part of what makes music so exciting.

Tech corner, anyone? All my tracks are produced in Cubase 13 Pro. Over time, more and more VST instruments have snuck into my setup – from Spitfire and Native Instruments to Spectrasonics and more. My go-to drum sounds usually come from Toontrack, which have become the rhythmic backbone of many of my tracks. I’ll admit it: I’ve caught a bit of a collecting bug here. Sadly, it’s eating both my wallet and my hard drive space. Will it ever stop? Probably not. 🙄

Style-wise, I love exploring different genres with no limits. For me, the goal is simple: have fun, stay inspired, and keep growing creatively. And every time I stumble upon a track here on SoundCloud that really moves me – the kind of song you’d probably never hear on the radio – it feels like discovering a hidden treasure.

I’m really glad you found my channel – and I hope my music brings you as much joy as it brings me when I create it.

little willow

I define myself as an artist, in the broad sense. I love exploring and experimenting, whether it's visual arts, sculpture, crafts, music or writing. Sometimes I dream, sometimes I have fun, but sometimes, on the contrary, I am angry with what surrounds me, and art allows me to express all these feelings. I was born in France but above all I feel like a simple inhabitant of this planet.
I welcome you here and to my website.

بید کوچک

من خودم را به عنوان یک هنرمند، به معنای وسیع، تعریف می کنم. من عاشق کاوش و آزمایش هستم، چه هنرهای تجسمی، مجسمه سازی، صنایع دستی، موسیقی یا نوشتن. گاهی اوقات خواب می بینم، گاهی اوقات خوش می گذرانم، اما گاهی اوقات برعکس، از آنچه اطرافم را احاطه کرده است عصبانی می شوم و هنر به من اجازه می دهد همه این احساسات را بیان کنم. من در فرانسه به دنیا آمدم اما بیش از همه احساس می کنم ساکن ساده این سیاره هستم.
من به شما در اینجا و به وب سایت من خوش آمد می گویم.

سایت من: 

小さな柳

 私は自分自身を広い意味でのアーティストと定義しています。私は視覚芸術、彫刻、工芸品、音楽、執筆など、探究したり実験したりすることが大好きです。時には夢を見たり、時には楽しんだりしますが、時には逆に、自分を取り巻くものに対して怒りを感じることもあります。アートはこれらすべての感情を表現することを可能にします。私はフランスで生まれましたが、何よりもこの惑星の単純な住人であると感じています。
ここと私のウェブサイトへようこそ。

sauce pequeño

Me defino como artista, en el sentido amplio. Me encanta explorar y experimentar, ya sea en artes visuales, escultura, artesanía, música o escritura. A veces sueño, a veces me divierto, pero a veces, por el contrario, me enojo con lo que me rodea, y el arte me permite expresar todos estos sentimientos. Nací en Francia pero sobre todo me siento un simple habitante de nuestra planeta.
Te doy la bienvenida aquí y a mi sitio web.

Маленькая ива

Я определяю себя как художника в широком смысле. Я люблю исследовать и экспериментировать, будь то изобразительное искусство, скульптура, ремесла, музыка или писательство. Иногда я мечтаю, иногда развлекаюсь, а иногда, наоборот, злюсь на то, что меня окружает, и искусство позволяет мне выразить все эти чувства. Я родился во Франции, но прежде всего чувствую себя простым жителем этой планеты.
Приветствую вас здесь и на моем сайте.

الصفصاف الصغير

أنا أعرّف نفسي كفنان بالمعنى الواسع. أحب الاستكشاف والتجربة، سواء في الفنون البصرية أو النحت أو الحرف اليدوية أو الموسيقى أو الكتابة. أحيانًا أحلم، وأحيانًا أستمتع، لكن أحيانًا، على العكس من ذلك، أغضب مما يحيط بي، والفن يسمح لي بالتعبير عن كل هذه المشاعر. لقد ولدت في فرنسا ولكن قبل كل شيء أشعر وكأنني ساكن بسيط على هذا الكوكب.
أرحب بكم هنا وفي موقع الويب الخاص بي.

Kleine Weide

Ich definiere mich als Künstler im weitesten Sinne. Ich liebe es zu erforschen und zu experimentieren, sei es in der bildenden Kunst, Bildhauerei, Kunsthandwerk, Musik oder Schreiben. Manchmal träume ich, manchmal habe ich Spaß, aber manchmal werde ich im Gegenteil wütend auf das, was mich umgibt, und die Kunst ermöglicht es mir, all diese Gefühle auszudrücken. Ich bin in Frankreich geboren, aber vor allem fühle ich mich wie ein einfacher Bewohner dieses Planeten.
Ich begrüße Sie hier und auf meiner Website.

Eric Schultheiss stands at the vanguard of contemporary composition, forging a unique path that bridges the rhythmic drive of global percussion with the infinite possibilities of digital sound. As a composer, percussionist, and educator, Schultheiss is acclaimed for his hybrid electro-acoustic works—pieces that fuse the organic pulse of drums with orchestral richness and the sonic innovation of modern electronics.

Rooted in a Southern California upbringing steeped in progressive rock, classical discipline, and the improvisational freedom of jazz, Schultheiss draws on a vast tapestry of influences. His music channels the off-kilter accents of Stewart Copeland, the lyrical intensity of Neil Peart, the storytelling depth of Peter Gabriel and Sting, and the progressive artistry of Genesis, Dream Theater, and Spock’s Beard. This synthesis results in compositions that are as intellectually rigorous as they are emotionally evocative.

Currently, as Head of Percussion Studies and Electro-Acoustic Composition at the Middle Tennessee Conservatory of Music, Schultheiss is an outspoken advocate for the DAW as a true instrument. In his hands, digital workstations become canvases for sonic experimentation, allowing for real-time orchestration, microscopic precision, and the layering of polyrhythms and timbres that would be impossible with traditional notation alone. He champions technology not as a shortcut, but as an authentic extension of the composer’s voice.

Signature works such as Lights Twinkle—a Christmas percussion-ensemble piece blending Japanese Taiko, harp, and haiku-inspired vocal textures—showcase his ability to unite tradition with innovation. Airidea’s Journal explores the dialogue between structure and freedom through dance-driven percussion and atmospheric synths, while As You Sleep and Terminal Memory reveal Schultheiss’ penchant for ambient soundscapes, introspective melodies, and cross-media collaborations. His compositions have been commissioned for film, dance, and multimedia productions, performed by leading ensembles, and praised for their intricate interplay of rhythm and resonance.

As an educator, Schultheiss is dedicated to shaping musicians who are not only technically skilled but also creatively fluent in both acoustic and digital modalities. At the Middle Tennessee Conservatory, he mentors young composers in hybrid techniques, polyrhythmic structures, and DAW-based workflows, encouraging them to embrace technology as a creative partner. His influence extends beyond the classroom, as he helps students gain visibility in the digital era and equips them to thrive in an evolving musical landscape.

Through his relentless curiosity, innovative spirit, and commitment to artistic growth, Eric Schultheiss is redefining what it means to be a composer in the 21st century. His work is a testament to the power of bridging tradition and technology, and to the limitless frontiers that await those willing to explore them.

David Wurden is a composer, keyboardist, drummer, and skilled producer. With a penchant for exploring the unconventional, he possesses a unique ability to revolutionize musical compositions, defying traditional boundaries. Through his artistry, David takes listeners on a captivating sonic odyssey, venturing into uncharted territories and reimagining both vintage and contemporary sounds. His evocative melodies and intricate rhythms transport audiences, allowing their imaginations to wander freely in the boundless expanse of the universe. With an unwavering commitment to pushing the boundaries of musical expression,  David Wurden is an unparalleled force in the world of music.

The 2025 remastered tracks are being readied for my best of 2025 album in 2026, available January 2026.
I do not use AI on any of my work, just blood sweat and tears, and a lot of emotion/feelings. The reason I have so much music on SC is that I love making music and it is my life. Also I love to share my work with you all, please enjoy.
Have recently discovered some old tracks which I did back in 2009 but have never been previously released or worked on further. Decided to let them see the light of day, unedited and unpolished. Hope you enjoy them and can see where my humble beginnings started.
Also new for Autumn 2025, a collection of classical piano pieces which I composed back in 2010, in memory of my late father who inspired me to play the keyboard in the first place. Under the title of Magician In Private, hope you will allow my indulgence into a special world of just simple piano, no frills.
Please checkout my vast collection of playlists. All my best music is on there in one place. Is free to listen to or sleep with.
From 1st June 2025, celebrating 10 years of KORG KRONOS music with lots of brand new music showcasing the wonders of this iconic workstation in all it's glory. Also as a nod to the release of the KRONOS 3, which will take KORG into the next generation.

Happy New Year to all my followers, May 2025 be filled with musical magic.

All my remastered best tunes from 2015 to 2023 are now available to buy on Bandcamp.
Am back to making regular music now but sorry no Christmas songs this year. This time of year is very hard for me as it is when my father became very ill and died in the new year 2010. I still miss him very much but hope he would be proud of my musical journey, he is my number one inspiration.
Just a quick personal note on AI and music. I think it is not a good thing for the creative side of music and a lot of it comes without feelings or soul. Creativity is a gift, and should be greatly valued, cherished and nurtured. Music is what makes us human and can never be replaced by a computer.
Finished remastering up to and including 2023 now. Has been a mammoth task but well worth the effort. Next year I shall be working on a remastered series of my pre KORG days 2000 to 2008, in 8 volumes, as well as celebrating in style my 10 years of KRONOS magic, can't wait for 2025.
Have now amassed over 1000 tracks on SC (that's over 8000 minutes of music) and it has been a blast sharing them with you all. Next year 2025, marks the 10th anniversary of the start of my KORG journey.
Am currently putting together a remastered Anthology collection of all my best tracks from 2015 onwards. 2015 consists of a 3 volume set (Now available on Bandcamp). 2016 consists of a 4 volume set. (Also available on Bandcamp). 2017 consists of a 4 volume set. (Available on Bandcamp) 2018 consists of a 4 volume set. (Also available on Bandcamp). 2019 consists of a 4 volume set.

If you would like to listen to more of Magician, especially retro older tracks please checkout Bandcamp (see link below).
Have recently been rediscovering some of my older music pre KORG days and remastering for uploading to my cloud. Hope you like. Seems such a long time ago now.
I have been lucky to have music in my life, and now the time to explore how it can affect other people. I have discovered many new talented artists on SC and am happy to encourage and support their work; from small beginnings come great things. Please be inspired to be your best, inspire others too, encourage those who lack the inner courage to move forward, and together we can make music make a difference in all our lives.
Am spending a lot more time on my music now since retiring from work in July 2020. Always learning new techniques and honing my craft. Am comfortable now with all chord sequences throughout the scales and loving improvising with the help of my mighty KORG still. Am still trying to give my full support and encouragement to all SC users and some latest (you know who you are), are developing nicely. Be good to one another, be gracious to others, leave your ego out of your life and above all else remember there is always someone worse off than yourself. 
Please be kind to each other, to be happy with our lot without jealousy or greed; to give without asking the cost; to love as if there is no tomorrow; to share and inspire others who may be less fortunate than us; most of all to enjoy life for the joy of living, for we know not what the morning brings - stay safe my friends, be strong and always stay positive; remember life changes - DON'T let it change you!!  
Music is my life - has helped me through many dark places, is a big part of who I am. I put my heart and soul into every single piece of music I produce. I have found many wonderful friends on SC and many exciting talented people.  Been writing and producing music now for 40 years plus. Specialised in electronic based orchestral compositions. I have created my own genre which I call 'electrorchestration'.
Favourite artists/bands include Gary Numan, Little Boots, Jools Holland, Eno, Edgar Froese (1944-2015), Jordan Rudess, Kebu, Madis, Keith Emerson (1944-2016), Rick Wakeman, Richard Wright (1943-2008), Pink Floyd, Tangerine Dream, Vangelis, Jean Michel Jarre, M83, Public Service Broadcasting, Dream Theater, ELP, Yes and Mystery to name but a few.
