tolle stelle… eigentlich schon vorbei😅

these vibrato trillers on the Cello @0:35 ff are just so incredibly longing!

I'm a sucker for a string piece. This is masterful. I love it!

Recorded in 2021. remastered.  I have to have a new way to play the piano. My sister and my son are doing that. They are working out a way to bring the piano to my hospital bed. I can no longer sit up, even in my powerchair. It's too uncomfortable and hard to breathe. I don't have functioning back or abdominal muscles, and I can't lift my head off my chest unless In laying back. Only my arms and hands are semi-functioning. My thumbs are going bad. I can't pull a zipper. I won't be able to play as well and I don't know how I'll work the sustain pedal - but I'll do my best! 😊🎶🎹🎶

Light at The End of The Darkness

Updated 10/02/2025 Why has it been so difficult for everyone to agree that we are destroying our planet? What would it take to change the course of events? Can we finally solve these challenges without violence? Have we learned nothing from the past??? Why have we become so disconnected? 

I love this quote from Carl Sagan's book Contact: “You're an interesting species. An interesting mix. You're capable of such beautiful dreams, and such horrible nightmares. You feel so lost, so cut off, so alone, only you're not. See, in all our searching, the only thing we've found that makes the emptiness bearable, is each other.”

Lyrics
Here we are so close  
But still so faraway
What have we lost for all
The comfort we have gained​
Such clever minds but still
We’re disconnected souls
And in my heart
I worry for the future yet untold

In a hundred years 
what will everybody say?
How could we lose 
The beauty of this place
Why does it take so long only
To open eyes to do what’s right
Maybe this is all we need
A billion six to all agree

This is my life
Half now gone by
Still there’s much time 
To make it something good yeah
I can do it 
I can be the difference
Gonna make things better
Just a little at a time

I confess my apathy
But now I am aware
I walk upon the earth 
As softly as I’ll ever dare
This thing is big
Much bigger than my life
Bigger than yours
To find solutions to our perils
They cannot be done alone

Out among the trees 
will the little children play
Or is all we leave them's 
Just a memory of this place
You and I we may be strangers
Here we are
In this together
Maybe this is all we need
Maybe this is all we need
Can seven billion all agree

Won't go lightly
Fight for something
I'll make my  life mean
Something that is good
I can do it
I can be the difference
I can make things better
Just a little at a time 
Just a little at a time,  yeah
Maybe this is all we need 
That seven billion all agree?
(Heavy sigh!)

A Little At A Time

YouTube link: https://youtu.be/aHypdOdJb5I 

A summer rain can be associated with cleansing – just as it washes dust off the streets, it may symbolize moments of renewal and emotional release in life. It can also evoke unexpected changes that, although initially seen as obstacles, bring freshness and new perspective. Finally, its gentleness and fleeting nature may remind us of the beauty of moments worth cherishing before they pass. 

Letni deszcz może kojarzyć się z oczyszczeniem – tak jak deszcz zmywa kurz z ulic, tak w życiu może symbolizować momenty odnowy i uwolnienia od emocjonalnego ciężaru. Może też przywodzić na myśl niespodziewane zmiany, które choć początkowo wydają się przeszkodą, przynoszą świeżość i nowe spojrzenie. Wreszcie, jego delikatność i ulotność mogą przypominać o pięknie chwil, które warto doceniać, zanim przeminą. 

La lluvia de verano puede asociarse con la purificación: así como limpia el polvo de las calles, puede simbolizar momentos de renovación y liberación emocional en la vida. También puede evocar cambios inesperados que, aunque al principio parezcan obstáculos, aportan frescura y una nueva perspectiva. Por último, su suavidad y fugacidad pueden recordarnos la belleza de los momentos que vale la pena apreciar antes de que se desvanezcan.

Summer Rain

For my friend from Shrewsbury – and for everyone who is there for others with love and strength.

The Way You Stay is a very personal song I originally wrote just for a close friend. After hearing it, he told me I should definitely release it – and so I did.

It tells about the importance of being there for each other – especially when life gets heavy.

It’s about the quiet strength of caring and the love that lies within those moments. About two people who carry each other and the closeness that grows from it.

But this song is not only for him – it’s for everyone who cares for others, quietly, steadily, and wholeheartedly.

A song about trust, friendship, and the strength that comes from staying.

Behind the music:
From the beginning I knew I wanted a choir in this song. I thought about it for a long time, wondering how it could work. In the end, I recorded more than 24 vocal tracks – all with my own voice – and processed them in such a way that the choir is made up of many little Axels.

I truly hope you enjoy listening to it.

The video for the song is available on YouTube:

The Way You Stay

He clears the table when the day is done,
he hides his worries from everyone. 
She takes his hand, and with her touch,
he feels he´s more than strong enough.

That’s the way you stay,
when the days get heavy.
That’s the way you love,
quiet but steady.
Two hearts leaning, all the way –
that’s the way you stay.

He keeps the light on late into the night,
she gives him reason, keeps his heart upright.
He hears her laughter, and it pulls him through,
that’s the reason she gives to do.

That’s the way you stay,
when the days get heavy.
That’s the way you love,
quiet but steady.
Two hearts leaning, all the way –
that’s the way you stay.

From far away I see you two,
the care, the trust, the gentle view.
It moves me more than words can say –
I hold you close, though far away.

That’s the way you stay,
when the nights turn colder.
That’s the way you love,
growing older.
Two hearts leaning, all the way –
that’s the way you stay.

Reverie

Cogito ergo sum is a previously unreleased instrumental demo by DestKorn, created in June 2024. The piece is built on the intimate interplay of cello and piano, carrying a melancholic and almost fragile atmosphere. It was never released anywhere – only here, exclusively on SoundCloud, you can listen to it.
Please forgive if the pitch or sound quality isn’t perfect in every detail – this demo is a raw glimpse into my creative process, capturing the unpolished essence of that very moment.

The instruments were created using EastWest and Spitfire Audio libraries, capturing the distinctive character of cello and piano.

The title Cogito ergo sum translates to “I think, therefore I am.” It was chosen because this work is more than just an instrumental – it is a thought, an existential truth transformed into music. Each note is part of that thought, a silent dialogue without words. By listening, you give life to this thought and carry it forward.

Cogito ergo sum ist ein bisher unveröffentlichtes Instrumental-Demo von DestKorn, entstanden im Juni 2024. Das Stück basiert auf der innigen Verbindung von Cello und Piano und trägt eine melancholische, fast intime Stimmung in sich. Es wurde nie veröffentlicht – nur hier, exklusiv auf SoundCloud, könnt ihr es hören.
Bitte verzeiht, wenn die Tonlage oder die Soundqualität nicht in jeder Nuance perfekt ist – dieses Demo ist ein direkter Einblick in meinen kreativen Prozess und spiegelt genau diesen rohen, unverfälschten Moment wider.

Die Instrumente wurden mit Libraries von EastWest und Spitfire Audio umgesetzt, um den besonderen Klangcharakter von Cello und Piano einzufangen.

Der Titel Cogito ergo sum bedeutet „Ich denke, also bin ich“. Er wurde gewählt, weil dieses Werk für mich mehr ist als nur ein Instrumental – es ist ein Gedanke, eine existenzielle Wahrheit, die in Musik verwandelt wurde. Jeder Ton ist Teil dieses Gedankens, ein stiller Dialog ohne Worte. Durch euer Zuhören wird dieser Gedanke lebendig und weitergetragen.

Cogito ergo sum Demo

One of those back burner incomplete songs that I started writing back in 2018 timeframe. Pulled it out awhile back and things started to flow, crazy how that happens. Made some changes with the melody, and added a few new lyrics, which were inspired from events of this past year. Trials make us stronger. I hope you enjoy this live recording on my trusty little Baldwin.  Never stop believing in yourself:) Keep fighting! We are overcomers! Blessings to ya'll. Thank you for listening!:)

Stronger 

I've learned
To put a fight in my spine
From all the climbs
Without your hand in mine
Stronger now
Doing better than just fine
In the valley I'm still on cloud nine

Just like the sun whenever I go down
I'll rise in the morning
Just like the stars surrounded by the dark
My soul keeps on shining 
Just like the moon when I'm invisible
I'll never stop believing Oh Oh 
Ohhh Ohhh Ohhh Ohhh Ohhh Ohhh Ohhh 

And I've learned
To breathe when under the gun
Every battle I face
And never run
Pressing on 
From a past that is done
Wherever I go I will be someone 

Just like the sun whenever I go down
I'll rise in the morning
Just like the stars surrounded by the dark
My soul keeps on shining 
Just like the moon when I'm invisible
I'll never stop believing Oh Oh 
Ohhh Ohhh Ohhh Ohhh Ohhh Ohhh Ohhh

Instrumental 

Ohhh Ohhhhhhh

Just like the sun whenever I go down
I'll rise in the morning
Just like the stars surrounded by the dark
My soul keeps on shining 
Just like the moon when I'm invisible
I'll never 
I'll never
I'll never
I'll never 
Stop believing Oh Oh 
Ohhh Ohhh Ohhh Ohhh Ohhh Ohhh Ohhh

Stronger (Orginal Song Live)

Sonata in D for Electric Guitar

This album is dedicated to my wife, who through a twist of fate crossed my path and saved me from despair.  She gave me hope when all was lost and taught me how to love again. Showed me that Love is not Compromise. True love amplifies. This album is a letter from the heart created for her.

Where the Dawn Found Us

Story
The Witches of Supelegor
Deep within the Itxina massif, where the mist coils like an ancient serpent among the beech forests, lies the mouth of the Supelegor cave. It is no ordinary cave: it is a threshold, a sanctuary, an open wound in the skin of the earth. There, when the sun sets behind Gorbea and the moon rises like a watchful eye, the sorgiñas awaken.

They were not witches like those feared in fairy tales, but guardians of ancient knowledge. Dressed in linen tunics and crowns of fern, they danced in circles beneath the ritual fire, invoking Mari, the goddess who dwells in the heart of the mountain. Their song was not human, but wind, water, stone. Each note wove a thread between worlds.
The night of San Juan was their sacred time. While the villagers lit bonfires in the valleys, they ascended along hidden paths, carrying offerings of flowers, milk, and salt. In the heart of Supelegor, the witches' sabbath began: a circle of fire, a drum mimicking the world's heartbeat, and an incantation that opened the gates of time.

But all was not peace. Once, a young shepherd named Eneko, curious and daring, followed the trail of the dancing lights. Upon reaching the cave, he was ensnared by the spell. The sorgiñas gazed at him with eyes that stretched across centuries. They did not punish him, but offered him a deal: if he remained silent, the language of animals and the secret of the stars would be revealed to him. Eneko accepted, and from then on, he became the wisest shepherd in all of Biscay, though he never spoke another word.
Today, those who approach Supelegor on the eve of Saint John's Day say they hear distant songs, see shadows dancing among the rocks, and feel the air vibrate with something older than time itself. For the sorgiñas have not vanished. They only wait for the world to remember.
