Jack Wild as Tom Ornshaw:Melody (1971 film)

Ornshaw

An epilogue to the human race. Why do we so firmly believe that our species will survive? Over 99% of species that roamed the earth in the course of the past 4 billion years have vanished again. We only know of them, when we examine the fossile record. So, chances are (unfortunately) very high, that also we will become extinct some time and our memories are only preserved in the depths of the earth. 
Also, the Fermi Paradox (see, e.g., https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sNhhvQGsMEc) leaves us puzzled why we see no other forms of life in the universe. 
Let us not get extinct! (and, on a personal note, I think, the  travelling to Mars is not exactly the solution to ensure the survival of our species. Rather, it is, not ruining our wonderful home planet)
A lyrics version will come out soon.

Compositionwise, the piece is structured in four parts. 
Part 1, introduces the lamenting theme, first in a very basic relaxed fashion with slow accompaniment and then becoming a tad more agitated. The chromatically descending accompaniment underlines the mournful mood. The second half of the part starting @0:24 is a bit more consoling but keeps the overall spirit. The other three parts (starting @ 0:48, 1:31, 2:15) are variations of the main theme with the last part leading @2:40 into the end that leaves more questions than answers)

The VST piano used for this recording was the Nils Frahm Noire (not the felt version) which I slightly brightened up to have more of the singing overtones.

Fossiles in the Making (Piano Miniature)

dans le recueil "à la lumière d'hiver", Philippe Jacottet, cet immense poète, a écrit un poème en 8 versets sur la parole, essence même du poétique. J'ai tenté ici d'en mettre deux en musique.
PAROLES
PARLER (6 ET 7)
6
J’aurai voulu parler sans images, simplement
pousser la porte…
                                        J’ai trop de crainte
 pour cela, d’inquiétude, parfois de pitié
On ne vit pas longtemps comme les oiseaux
dans l’évidence du ciel,
                                                  et retombé à terre,
On ne voit plus en eux précisément que des images
ou des rêves.
7
Parler donc est difficile, si c’est chercher…chercher quoi ?
Une fidélité aux seuls moments, aux seules choses
qui descendent en nous assez bas, qui se dérobent,
si c’est tresser un vague abri pour une proie insaisissable.

Si c’est porter un masque plus vrai que son visage
pour pouvoir célébrer une fête longtemps perdue
 avec les autres, qui sont morts, lointains ou endormis
encore, et qu’à peine soulèvent de leur couche 
cette rumeur, ces premiers pas trébuchants, ces feux timides
-nos paroles : 
bruissement du tambour pour peu que l’effleure le doigt
inconnu.

Philippe Jacottet

TALK (6 and 7)
6
I would have liked to speak without images, simply
push the door...
                                        I'm too afraid
 for this, of anxiety, sometimes of pity
We don't live long like birds
in the evidence of heaven,
                                                  and fell to the ground,
We see in them precisely only images
or dreams.
7
To speak, then, is difficult, if it is to seek... Looking for what?
A fidelity to the moments alone, to the only things
who descend into us low enough, who evade,
if it is to weave a vague shelter for an elusive prey.

If it is wearing a mask that is more real than your face
to be able to celebrate a long-lost holiday
 with the others, who are dead, far away or asleep
and which scarcely rise from their bed 
this rumor, these first stumbling steps, these timid fires
-Our words: 
rustling of the drum as soon as the unknown finger
 touches it

Philippe Jacottet

Drifting Beyond – A sound floating between reality and infinity.

Soft, melancholic melodies blend with deep, atmospheric tones, telling a story of longing, loss, and the search for the unknown. Like waves drifting endlessly across the ocean, this track carries the listener into a world of emotion and contemplative silence.
Another chapter from the album Tides of Melancholy – a musical journey through light and shadow.
Close your eyes, let yourself drift, and find your own path Drifting Beyond.

Drifting Beyond – Ein Klang, der zwischen Realität und Unendlichkeit schwebt.

Sanfte, melancholische Melodien vermischen sich mit tiefen, atmosphärischen Klängen und erzählen eine Geschichte von Sehnsucht, Verlust und der Suche nach dem Unbekannten. Wie Wellen, die unaufhaltsam über den Ozean treiben, trägt dieser Track den Hörer in eine Welt voller Emotionen und nachdenklicher Stille.
Ein weiteres Kapitel aus dem Album Tides of Melancholy – eine musikalische Reise durch Licht und Schatten.
Schließe die Augen, lasse dich treiben und finde deinen eigenen Weg Drifting Beyond.
Note: This track was entirely composed, performed, arranged, and produced by myself – without the use of artificial intelligence.
Creating authentic music with real emotion and personality is important to me. Thank you for listening and for your support.

Drifting Beyond

"The nice thing about HOPE is that you can give it to someone else, someone who needs it even more than you do, and you will find you have not given yours away at all."  
- Maya Angelou

An improv piece about hope...Something that we can hold onto when times are tough, and something we can give away to others in order to make a difference in their lives.

A companion piece to "Always Love".

Always Hope

That guy is me, exactly 50 years ago, after a soccer match. I was a decent, fast young footballer, but I stopped when I went to university. I  didn't grow tired of running after a ball, simply having other things to do; thinking I'd start again sooner or later. It only happened occasionally, over the years. Today I could go back to kicking a ball on a football pitch, but it's unlikely that I'd come out of there alive. And so, officially, I bury that part of my life in the archive of memories and play a little (and not sad) 'requiem'.

Saxophones (reworked by me) are courtesy of Gareth Lumbers (via Komorebi Audio - Sunset Jazz) and Tokyo City Pop Tapes.

Requiem for a footballer *

My maternal grandmother's cousin, Bill, had a lifelong interest in magic. It all began during his childhood when he had the flu. A friend taught him a few card tricks to help pass the time, and from that moment on, he was captivated and dedicated himself to perfecting his skills. In 1929, shortly after college, Bill joined the Society of American Magicians, hoping to make magic his career. His parents were concerned and did not approve of their son becoming a magician and entertainer. They encouraged him to give up magic and follow his father into the insurance business. He tried it for a while, but the allure of magic was too strong, and he eventually became a professional magician. Throughout the 1940s and 50s, he was constantly touring, performing a wide variety of illusions alongside well-known entertainers of the era, as well as his wife, who was his onstage assistant. Sadly, after many years, magic and fame became an unhealthy obsession that took a significant toll on Bill and his family. However, in the beginning, it brought him a sense of wonder and adventure. This piece aims to capture those early years.

A solitary flute drifts across the desert wind, joined by oud, harp and subtle strings, while distant rhythms slowly awaken beneath the sand. The music unfolds like a mirage - hypnotic, dreamlike, and steeped in mystery - evoking the first light over endless dunes.

This piece does not end the journey, it only opens the gate. Beyond the horizon, more voices are waiting…

🎶 About My Music – DestKorn

My music tells stories – without words, but full of emotion.
It’s shaped by melancholy, quiet strength, and cinematic depth.
With a blend of piano, strings, subtle electronics, and expressive vocals, I create soundscapes that move, reflect, and offer space for personal thought.

Every composition is a personal expression, crafted by hand using professional virtual instruments (VSTs), real elements, and a strong sense of intuition. I compose with care and intention – every note is placed with purpose. For certain textures, I occasionally use modern tools like ACE Studio, but always as a subtle enhancement within a framework I’ve entirely composed myself.

The creative vision, the musical structure, and the emotion – they are 100% mine.
I believe in music that sounds real because it is real.

Thank you for listening – and for feeling.

– DestKorn 🎶❤️🎶
