Claude Debussy - Clair De Lune (RAC Analog Synthesizer Version)

Hear the entire RAC discography by subscribing to this Spotify playlist: http://found.ee/RACdiscog

This is one of the finest pieces of music ever written. It's very cinematic and I was kinda bored on a friday night, so I decided to just make my own version of it.
It's featuring the Minimoog model D, which has some trouble staying in tune, especially on the high notes. The Juno-60 on the chords. I ran the last half of it through this old tape deck, so you kinda get this rough tape hiss and distortion. 
I was kinda inspired by this arrangement of another song.

I've always been a big fan of the Tomita version as well.

2015 Edit: It goes without saying, Wendy Carlos was also largely influential. Check out "Switched on Bach", or "A Well Tempered Synthesizer" to hear where all of this started. 

Hope you like it.

Cross Hands

CREATURES OF THE RAIN FOREST. An experimental sketch, no extra charge 

Play it infinite many times at the fitness center or just skip to the next track in your flow. Forced on tape using a bunch of instruments. 

Ideas that I (for a while) considered for some longer compositions, but I decided to go for something else ...  seeking a new sound, a new direction ... 

/DS 29th Sept 2021, updated 18th July 2022.

CREATURES OF THE RAIN FOREST

YACHT - Dystopia (The Earth Is On Fire)

STRUCTURES.

A new series of pieces based on the classical guitar (but recorded plugged-in). Composed and played by DS 2015.

It is a work of variations, with some core elements re-appearing multiple times (but evolved, and differently combined). Meditative, explorative, and slightly abstract. Created through a gradual weaving of different themes, growing larger structures ... 

It is likely that there ultimately will be a cycle of five, six, pieces of this kind. 

DS //May 2015





Guitar Structures No. 1 - By David J. Svensson

Glendale La Roma

We can never tire of this delicious piece!

You can also follow me on Spotify at https://spoti.fi/2MRR1lV and stream the albums I have released there.

Clair de Lune - Debussy

COMPOSED AND PLAYED BY DS 2015-2016 using keyboards, organ, distorted electric guitars, acoustic guitars, midi-played bass, percussion & drum pads (and drum loops).
SPECIAL THANKS: to @tolubai for valuable feedback during the development phase.
* * * 
In the mood for something easy, clear-cut, and straightforward? Look elsewhere. EarthShine is a dark, experimental and slightly dissonant piece; clearly not intended for the charts, and with a rather unclear purpose ... (which, by the way, is entirely to the liking of the composer, with his evidently rather odd taste).

Initially concieved as a PRELUDE to the two-part instrumental published earlier (https://soundcloud.com/davidjsvensson/long-instrumental-part1draft-ds2015), taking one of the main themes into another iteration, in new directions.

The main theme, the slightly dissonant opening theme (based on a Gminor chord over the bass note H, followed by a Hminor chord), gets evolved into the more harmonical organ/synth sequence appearing multiple times in the final, thus ending this piece (and the entire suite) on a more positive note.

* * *

The rather odd music was partly inspired by ideas and discussions in 'Superintelligence: Paths, Dangers, Strategies' (www.nickbostrom.com, Oxford University); a remarkable work apparently taken very seriously by e.g., B. Gates, and respected scientists such as M. Tegmark, S. Hawkings, and M. Rees.

"Artificial intelligence already outperforms human intelligence in many domains" [p.11]. Still, the idea of an intelligence explosion occuring in our life time is to many laughable, and, clearly, it is unknown if it can occur at all; we only know that Nature once rigged materia in such as way that high intelligence emerged (i.e., us) [insert your own interpretation here].

Some would argue that there are much else in the world to worry about first; but, is this a new kind of Manhattan Project actually coming up on the horizon, with potentially far-fetching existential consequences for Mankind?

It remains to be seen if it was correct to end the music with some hope.

//DS 2016



EARTHSHINE

WRITTEN AND PLAYED BY DS.

This was Work-In-Progress until the computer died (2015). A crude sketch to a longer progressive work - but the result contains elements that inspire me. It is one of my little personal favorites .... 

/DS April 2018 (edit January 2024).

APPROACHING

Left Upon Us

Cedric Vermue - Somewhere Far Away

Beginning at 23:30 on Saturday May 16th and through 3:00 Monday May 18th, 2009 Chilly Gonzales broke the Guiness World Record for longest concert by a solo artist. The previous record was 26 hours and 12 minutes and was performed by Prasanna Gudi (India) at the Mallikarjun Mansoor Kala Bhavan public auditorium, Dharwad, Karnataka, India from 28 to 29 December 2008.

Gonzales explained his motivation: “I will do this to push my musical and physical stamina. I believe music is part art, part athletics and this 27-hour concert will demonstrate both aspects.”

Gonzales had been consulting with the Guiness Book of Record to ensure a smooth attempt and an Official Guinness Judge adjudicated the event on site. Repertoire touched on recognizable songs from all eras and styles of music, in new and surprising arrangements. There was no repetition of material during the attempt. As Gonzales himself said “I will break the record without sounding like a broken record”.

The record attempt took place at the theatre of notable French film director Claude Lelouch, Theatre Ciné 13 in Paris. The attempt in its entirety was streamed live on the web and achieved #2 Twitter Trend status at its peak.

Chilly Gonzales - Scheme and variations (Guinness World Record - Live Originals)

"Yet Adam and Eve fell prey to temptation."

First moments in heaven.

Composer of multi-instrumental music, with a preference for longer, progressive and complexly arranged pieces.   

Have played guitar for many years, but I am probably a slightly odd type of guitarist. Not particularily interested in the guitar genre, not too keen on listening to long solos, etc. I don't enjoy playing for people - a party-killer, in short. However, leave me alone with this wonderful tool (or the keyboard, which I play too), and I will start experimenting with it, searching for something to develop. 

Strongly interested in classical music and anything remotely related to that. I want to construct music with a similar structure and complexity, although with other instruments, and in my own way...  
___________________________________________________________

During 2010-2013, I worked on a suite of related pieces, GUITARS PLAYED BY DS, with every sound played on the electric guitar. A major undertaking, and (all-in-all) 45+ minutes long, all complexly related and released in five segments.

During 2014-2015, the main focus was on the full-format 'LONG INSTRUMENTAL', a progressive work with lots of different instruments and sounds, restless and complex. Some sections stand on their own feet: MYSTERY, and FANFARE. 

The 2014-2015 recordings also resulted in two shorter pieces: CAMBRIAN EXPLOSION and CLUSTER OF WARNINGS.

During 2015 I initiated a suite played on classical guitars - GUITAR STRUCTURES. It is a series of slowly changing ideas, a weave of melodies and harmony, the first section out in April 2015 (the 2nd came 2 years later).  

I played guitars on Tolubai's wonderful ambient piece 'MEMORIES' (August 2015).

EARTHSHINE came out in January 2016; a darker and slightly dissonant progressive piece, and one of my personal favorites. So is SILENCE, out 1st July 2016. September 2016: IGNITION  with TOLUBAI and LET THERE BE LIGHT 22th Sept 2016 with PuppyWolf. 

20/11-2016: The OORT CLOUD PROJECT I-IX. An 18+ minutes long progressive synth-based instrumental, with lots of short guitar phrases integrated. Also, the spin-off PASSAGE was released. 

GROTESQUE released too in the end of 2016. The 19th January 2017, I released the sketch OMMA CONTRAPUNCTUS PROJECT. The 4th February 2017, the track '3 WORLDS COLLIDE' was released.

'Guitar Structure No. 2' out in March 2017, took 2 years to complete.

BEST OF 2 WORLDS was released in November 2017, another personal favorite composition.

APPROACHING: an unfinished sketch released 1st April 2018. TAURUS IV released 8th April 2018.

New Years evening 2019, quickly improvising a track: DECADE. Uploaded 23:58 local time. It was a very fun way of ending the year and I used a symbolic art cover with red sweeping in, but I wouldn't have dreamed of what was to come soon.

One main project this year is the SNOWFLAKES VARIATIONS suite; the Prelude was released in January 2020.

8th April 2020: CREATURES RISING was released. CREATURES OF THE RAINFOREST also a spinoff track (released 2021).

In the Lockdown March-April 2020, I recorded 'Era', out of frustration...

5th June 2020: REPORT FROM PLANET THREE, which was initiated 31st May 2019. 

31st July 2020: FORECAST was released. April 2021: SUMMER SNOWFLAKES, a 25 minute long track and perhaps my most ambitious ever. 

OCTOBER 22, 2021: OUTPOST. Was hell of a lot work behind this, which started out as the "Conquerer" project already in 2017. 

APRIL 28, 2022: The Disclosure (Part I).
SEPTEMBER 23, 2022: PEACE GUITARS. A track very dear to me, much of it written outdoors at the shores with my lovely dog with me. 

OCTOBER 6, 2023: SHAMBOLIC GUITARS.  Intensive recordings!

DECEMBER 7, 2024: TABOOOO released. (Oldfield Tribute)

SEPTEMBER 6, 2025: WATERFALL (part 1). Another part will follow in 2026!
