A New Universe

One of my biggest dreams was to compose a track and have another composer, which I admire, orchestrate or arrange it to his liking. I had the honour of having this done by my friend and very talented composer Arn Andersson. I absolutely love what he did with this track. Dramatic and epic at the same time, he was able to make this composition come to life. I thank him so much for what he has done for me. He is a great teacher, mentor and a young gifted composer which you should all discover (if it is not done already). I am very grateful to present this one to all of you. Enjoy.

The amazing artwork is not mine, it is from Jonas De Ro ( http://fav.me/d81z2f3 )

Remember me this way (composed by Marco Vernacchia) Arranged and Produced by Arn Andersson

Mountain Of Gods (NI Strings/Brass Symphony Series Demo)

University Audition Track 2
5 billion years ago, The wrath of evil was unleashed before Earth, formerly a homeland of the elder gods. A primordial force so ungodly preeminent and destructive that even the divines were brought to their knees. As the catastrophe advances with them forseeing the world's imminent end, they resorted to their only hope - The Seal, a price they had to pay with their vessel and psyche in order to contain the darkness, condemning it into the molten core for Eternity.

With little hope of preserving the planet at its fullest form, it was engulfed into a fiery barrage upon containment. At the final moments one refused its divinity role to sacrifice for an unpresented future, and locked itself behind the fabrics of time and space as it planted the final seed into the earthly soil - Life.

Some millenniums passed and evolutions underwent... Human emerged at the face of the divine as the successors of the former glory-land. Not knowing what borne them, they began searching for relics left by beings once dwelled around, obtaining lores they shouldn't have understood and  defying physics with magic with consequences so unimaginative that they ought not to have performed. 

Time goes by, when everything were seemingly at norm, deep beneath the crust, the darkness awaits, lurking with a chance to rise again. Its aura remained so strong that at high tide it'd seep through the hairline cracks of the earth, annihilating all living entities in its blast radius . Hence the truth of the black plaque wasn't properly explained by science, but remained a supernatural mystery.

AD 2163 is when light last shine upon mankind, when a powerful witch covenant successfully deciphered the long-lost code of Armageddon at malevolent means, re-unleashing the dark force into the planet...

My name is Cody Lancelot, second commander in chief of the Demon Resistance Army (DRA). I'm sending this message to everyone in this frequency, for the end is nigh. If you've survived the initial wave, we need your support against our common enemy for the upcoming ones. We've learnt about the gods but we do not know about your whereabouts, nor if you are still with us. If legend proves authentic, lies beyond the dimension survives one. If you're seeing this, your resurgence and salvation is required, for you could be mankind's final hope...

Debut Volume One

Lore of Genesis

Genesis (Hybrid Orchestral Actions)

"We were put here in this dimension, this world with a purpose. While most attempt to seek it as it were something beyond any vision of any naked eyes. The revelations and enlightenment passes from an old veteran to a youth, there the lesson were told, the experiences were gained, the errors to avoid, and a torch to lead on."

Reminiscence

مسا الورد :) اشتقت للتسجيلات كتير. قصيدتين اليوم للشاعر الرقيق وديع سعادة. قصيدتان يملؤهما الشغف والشجن، وهنّ تأكيد على وجود الجمال وين ما كنا، حتى على حجر صغير. مسؤوليتنا نلاقيه، ونحميه، وننقله وقبل كل شي - نكونه. 
الجمال بده ناس، والناس بدها جمال. والإيدين مش لازم الإّ تنمدّ لبغضها. 

قصدة رفاق، تتبعها قصيدة تحاول أن ترفع يداً


لديك ما يكفي من ذكريات
كي يكون معك رفاق على هذا الحجر
اقعدْ
وسَلِّهمْ بالقصص
فهم مثلك شاخوا
وضجرون
قُصَّ عليهم حكاية المسافات
التي مهما مشت
تبقى في مكانها
أخبرْهم عن الجنّ الذي يلتهم أطفال القلب
عن القلب الذي مهما حَبِلَ
يبقى عاقراً
حدّثْهم عن العشب الذي له عيون
وعن التراب الأعمى
عن الرياح التي كانت تريد أن تقول شيئاً
ولم تقلْ
وعن الفراشة البيضاء الصغيرة التي دقَّت على بابك في ذاك الشتاء
كي تدخل وتتدفأ.
 
لديك رفاق على هذا الحجر
لا تدعْهم يضجرون
أخبرْهم عن الخراف التي بلا راعٍ
وعن الراعي الذي بلا خراف
عن الراعي الذي ضلَّ والخرافِ التي تعرف الطريق
أخبرْهم حكاية الذئب
وحكاية القبَّرة
وحكاية الغول
وإنْ لم يكن لهؤلاء حكايات فاخترعْها
اخترعْ حكايات
اخترعْ ذئاباً وجنّاً وخرافاً ورعياناً وفراشات
رفاقك مثلك شاخوا
ويقعدون على حجر صغير
اخترعْ لهم مسافات.

***

للطريق رئة
وعيون
ودقَّات قلب.
 
للطريق دقَّات قلب متعَبة
ورئة
ملأى بغبار الدعسات
وعيون
تنظر إلى الماشين عليها وتدمع
تحت أقدامهم.
 
للطريق رئة تئنُّ تحت ثقل الخطى
وعيون تفقأها الأقدام
وذراع مكسورة
ومع ذلك تحاول أن ترفع يداً
كي تحيّي العابرين.

موسيقى: Adam Hurst - Ritual

رفاق / تحاول أن ترفع يداً - وديع سعادة

"Into the night, it calms the rising tide and soothes the pitch-black solitude "
Composed by Dennis Garretson

Nightingale

An ambient flow of string impromptu showing the aftermath of war. In a seemingly timeless era when the pain of losing a loved one never passes. Departure is what reality murmurs as this piece constantly sends a haunting, yet melodic tune down the spines. 

Composed by Dennis Garretson Chan 2018

Fare Thee Well (A Film Score Impromptu by Dennis Garretson)

Epic score - Time will remember us

Here is the track I will be dissecting in my NI Action Strings overview video.

Cybernetic Haze

يقول أنسي الحاج: "المفروض في شاعر حيال موت عزيز عليه واحد من موقفين: العجز عن الكلام، والموت فوق
 الميت".
وهذا الكلام فيه عجز ملعونة أسبابه.

الرحمة لروح من مات اليوم والبارحة وغداً، والمجدُ للشهداء.
شعر: رياض الصالح حسين - الولد النائم.

إهداءٌ لموتىً جميلين  - رياض الصالح الحسين
