Song: Inside
Music by: Caratacus / Dirk Ehlert
Album: tba
© 2016 All rights reserved.

Here's a new track that hits a little bit in the feels... but I wanted to capture the feeling of being lost / lonely and feeling just empty inside.
A gentle solo piano, only backed up by some soft strings and in the second part turning into a bit of a celtic and medieval feel with guitar and flute.

Caratacus - Inside

Song: Gone Too Soon
Music by: Caratacus / Dirk Ehlert
Album: tba

I really wanted to do a heavily mourning piece for quite a while. Something that screams out the pain of loss or being left alone. 
"Gone too soon" hopefully captures this feeling.The first Caratacus album is coming in August.

After more than one year in the making “Elements” takes you on a sonic journey through time and space, history and future, darkness and light.

“Elements” features world class vocal performances by Úyanga Bold (Hans Zimmer - The Dark Night Suite @ The Masterpiece Experience, Blizzard Entertainment's Overwatch), Celica Soldream (Neal Acree, Ivan Torrent), Laurie Ann Haus (Todesbonden, StarCraft II: Wings of Liberty) , Gaby Koss (Haggard, Nota Profana and Equilibrium), Merethe Soldvedt (Two Steps From Hell, BrandX) and Julie Elven (Neal Acree, Ivan Torrent) as well as Cello performances by Vesislava Todorova (Bulgarian National Radio Orchestra) and Caro Teruel (Venezuela).

The album was produced in Dirks studio near Berlin, Germany and mixed & mastered by Mathieu Hallouin, France.
