Magnificent, full of emotion when listening. Danke 🙏

I love this DestKorn! Such great dynamics. Just great!

Gorgeous instrumental, so lovely!  Deep from the heart!

I think this is pretty accurate:  Die fesselnden Harmonien und die düstere, doch sanfte Dynamik ziehen den Hörer in eine Welt, in der jeder Schritt ein Echo hinterlässt   : )

I love the minimalistic way the melody lingers like an echo that is rimpling the water...  you try to remember but even the memory of what's gone, disapears

Should have taken that left turn at Albuquerque...

Peyote Vacation

Create the next four bars by going against the image of the first four bars. Then create the next eight bars by going against the image of the eight bars you created. This is repeated until the last piano chord is destroyed by a delay that is too strong, and the song ends with the lingering sound cut off. All of this ingenuity is music. But I let the music itself take the initiative in my creation. This technique cannot be called a collage. It's like arranging items bought at a music general store in front of a bakery. I think it has meaning.


Shouting Music in the World (311)

ANATOLIA - ΑΝΑΤΟΛΙΑ

The Vanishing Path is a sonic journey along a trail that slowly fades into oblivion. The track captures the essence of a path dissolving between memory and forgetfulness. With atmospheric soundscapes, powerful basslines, and a profound sense of melancholy, the song tells a story of searching for stability in a world that keeps slipping away.

This track is part of the upcoming album "Tides of Melancholy," a collection of ten pieces that together weave a profound narrative. It tells a tale of loss and hope, of fleeing from darkness and battling to rediscover lost paths. "The Vanishing Path" marks the beginning of a journey, where each track unfolds a new chapter in an emotional exploration of depth and expansive soundscapes.

The captivating harmonies and its dark yet gentle dynamics draw the listener into a world where every step leaves an echo. This album invites you to dive into the tides of melancholy and search for the light amidst the shadows.

The Vanishing Path" ist eine klangliche Reise auf einem Weg, der langsam in die Leere verschwindet. Der Track fängt die Essenz eines Pfades ein, der sich zwischen Erinnerung und Vergessenheit auflöst. Mit atmosphärischen Klanglandschaften, kraftvollen Basslinien und einer durchdringenden Melancholie erzählt der Song von der Suche nach Halt in einer Welt, die sich immer weiter entzieht.

Dieser Track ist Teil des kommenden Albums "Tides of Melancholy", einer Sammlung von zehn Stücken, die zusammen eine tiefgründige Geschichte erzählen. Es ist die Geschichte von Verlust und Hoffnung, von der Flucht vor der Dunkelheit und dem Kampf, verlorene Pfade wiederzufinden. "The Vanishing Path" markiert den Beginn einer Reise, bei der jeder Song einen neuen Abschnitt auf dem Weg durch emotionale Tiefe und klangliche Weite darstellt.

Die fesselnden Harmonien und die düstere, doch sanfte Dynamik ziehen den Hörer in eine Welt, in der jeder Schritt ein Echo hinterlässt. Dieses Album lädt ein, sich in die Wellen der Melancholie zu stürzen und nach dem Licht inmitten der Schatten zu suchen.
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.

Tides of Melancholy

The Vanishing Path

TINOS - ΤΗΝΟΣ

Vergina Forces - Δυνάμεις Της Βεργίνας

Cogito Vestrum - The Day After
when a heart falls silent, one that walked beside you for so long.
When the place once filled with life now echoes with absence.
When even the wind seems to whisper,
because silence suddenly says everything.

“The Day After” is a musical farewell.
A journey through emptiness, memory, and grief –
for any soul that once brought light
and now lives on within our hearts.

A continuation of Cogito Vestrum –
a quiet tribute to the beings who touched our lives
and left behind a soundless ache.

Part of the album Tides of Melancholy.
No AI.
Just feeling. Just music. Just truth.

Created with the following instruments:

EastWest Hollywood Strings: Chosen for their cinematic depth, creating grandeur and melancholy, perfectly expressing the contrast between loss and the lingering presence of loved ones.

Spitfire Audio Solo Violine: A solo violin that evokes vulnerability and sorrow, ideal for quiet moments of reflection and grief.

Virharmonic Bohemian Cello: With its warmth and expressiveness, it captures the human element of grief, adding depth and continuity as the cello’s voice lingers on.

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.

Cogito Vestrum - Der Tag danach
wenn ein Herz schweigt, das dich so lange begleitet hat.
Wenn der Platz leer bleibt, an dem einst Leben war.
Wenn selbst der Wind zu flüstern scheint,
weil Stille plötzlich alles durchdringt.

„The Day After“ ist ein musikalischer Abschied.
Eine Reise durch Leere, Erinnerung und Trauer –
für jedes Wesen, das gegangen ist,
und doch in unserer Seele weiterklingt.

Die Fortsetzung von Cogito Vestrum –
ein stiller Tribut an all die Seelen,
die unser Leben berührt haben und uns fehlen.

Teil des Albums Tides of Melancholy.
Ohne KI.
Nur Gefühl. Nur Musik. Nur Wahrheit.

Erstellt mit den folgenden Instrumenten:

EastWest Hollywood Strings: Für cineastische Tiefe und Ausdruck von Verlust und bleibender Präsenz.

Spitfire Audio Solo Violine: Eine Solo-Violine, die tiefste Emotionen wie Trauer und Sehnsucht ausdrückt.

Virharmonic Bohemian Cello: Wärme und Ausdruckskraft, die das menschliche Element des Abschieds verstärken.

Hinweis: Dieser Track wurde vollständig von mir komponiert, aufgeführt, arrangiert und produziert – ohne den Einsatz künstlicher Intelligenz.

Cogito Vestrum - The Day After

This song is actually more of a poem. But I only realized that when I tried to set the text to music after I had written it. 
"I count on you" is a song written as a heartfelt thank-you to the quiet companions in our lives — those who stand by us when times get tough. 
Sometimes, these are the people who understand us without needing many words. Sometimes, they are the loyal, four-legged friends who remain by our side through the years. And sometimes, it’s a spiritual presence that carries us through our darkest moments.

This song is about that steady, silent presence — the comforting feeling of not being alone. It reminds us how much strength can be found simply in being there for one another. Some call it friendship, others call it love — some believe it is God. Ultimately, it’s about connection, trust, and the quiet certainty: I can count on you.

A heartfelt thank-you to Andreas and Colter, who deeply inspired me in the creation of this song.

It would mean a lot to me if this song finds a place in your heart and uplifts you when you listen.



I count on you

When everything inside goes quiet,
and I don't know what to do,
when every step feels heavy,
somehow – there’s you.
You never asked for answers,
you just stood there by my side.
In a time that felt so broken,
you were my piece of light.

I count on you 
when the fire’s burning low.
When I feel like fading,
you’re the one who still knows.
I count on you –
not 'cause you're loud or strong,
but 'cause you stay,
when everything feels wrong.

You held my silence gently,
carried every flaw I had.
You saw the parts I couldn’t show,
and never said it’s bad.
You never needed big ideas,
you just showed up as you are.
And in the middle of the night,
you were my northern star.

I count on you 
when hope has gone to hide.
When the world gets smaller,
you still stay by my side.
I count on you 
no questions, no disguise.
You’re the quiet truth
in a world of little lies.

And if the day should ever come
when you can’t hold it all alone –
I’ll be the one who holds you back,
like you have always done.

I count on you 
And you can lean on me
We carry what the other can´t
And set each other free
I count on you 
and hope you feel it too.
Through every broken piece,
I’ve found a friend in you.

I Count On You

Reminiscence – The Gentle Return
Sometimes the heaviest moments are the quiet ones.
When a single piano speaks louder than any voice,
not with words, but with the aching stillness left behind.

Reminiscence is the sound of looking back,
of revisiting the empty chair, the quiet room,
the laughter that once filled it – now just an echo.
It’s not a cry for comfort, but a slow exhale of memory.

This piece doesn’t try to escape the sorrow.
It walks beside it – unafraid, tender, honest.
Because some things cannot be forgotten.
They live on in sound, in silence, in the spaces between the notes.

Performed entirely on the Bechstein  –
a grand piano from EastWest, known for its haunting intimacy.
Its velvety resonance and delicate detail bring life to the sadness,
like a whispered goodbye that lingers in the air.
Every nuance was shaped by human hands – with reverence, with grief.

Part of the album Tides of Melancholy.
No AI. No shortcuts. Just soul, sorrow, and sincerity.

Composed, played, and felt by myself –
for all those who carry someone in their heart but can no longer hold them.
Thank you for listening – and for making space for this gentle return.


Reminiscence – Die leise Rückkehr
Manchmal sind es die stillsten Augenblicke, die am schwersten wiegen.
Wenn ein einziges Piano lauter spricht als jede Stimme –
nicht mit Worten, sondern mit dem Schmerz,
den nur die Abwesenheit kennt.

Reminiscence ist ein Blick zurück.
Zu dem leeren Stuhl. Dem stillen Raum.
Dem Lachen, das einmal darin lebte –
nun nur noch Erinnerung, verhallt im Nichts.
Dieses Stück sucht keinen Trost.
Es atmet die Trauer – langsam, behutsam, aufrichtig.

Denn manche Verluste verblassen nicht.
Sie bleiben – in einem Klang, in der Stille,
in dem, was zwischen den Tönen unausgesprochen bleibt.

Eingespielt auf dem Bechstein Sus Rep Lite DYN –
ein Konzertflügel aus der EastWest-Piano-Serie,
geschätzt für seine emotionale Tiefe und intime Klangcharakteristik.
Sein samtiger Ton und seine fragile Präsenz
verleihen dem Schmerz eine Stimme,
wie ein leiser Abschied, der in der Luft stehen bleibt.
Jede Note wurde mit Sorgfalt und Gefühl geformt – von echten Händen.

Teil des Albums Tides of Melancholy.
Keine KI. Kein Trick. Nur Seele. Nur Trauer. Nur Wahrheit.

Komponiert, gespielt und empfunden von mir –
für all jene, die jemanden im Herzen tragen, den sie nicht mehr in den Armen halten können.
Danke fürs Zuhören – und dafür, dieser leisen Rückkehr einen Platz zu geben.

Reminiscence

I had posted a year ago the row version of this track recorded back in 2015 (https://soundcloud.com/michele-ansani/bosque-redondo)
I thought that, after all these years, it was time to remake it, without altering the melody or the atmosphere.
Regarding the context evoked, see for example here: https://americanindian.si.edu/nk360/navajo/long-walk/long-walk.cshtml

🎶 About My Music — DestKorn

My music tells stories without words—rooted in emotion, shaped by melancholy, quiet strength, and cinematic depth.
With piano, strings, understated electronics, and expressive vocals, I craft soundscapes that move you and leave space for your own thoughts.

Every piece is handcrafted: I write, arrange, and produce using professional virtual instruments and real elements.
I work with Spitfire Audio, Virharmonic, Kirk Hunter Studios, Native Instruments, EastWest, and 8Dio, combined with my own recording and sound-design workflow.

I use voice synthesis (ACE Studio) only in rare cases—specifically when no suitable singer can be found.
Whenever synthesis is used, I state it clearly in the track description.
It’s a subtle color, never a substitute for composition or expression, and always within a framework I fully compose myself.

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

Thank you for listening—and for feeling.

– DestKorn 🎶❤️🎶
