Amateurish stuff about the Silmarillion, no intent to infringe JRRT

Performed by myself in December of 2022 onward on a Roland FA-08 from memory by ear with no sheet music, as one track with 2 hands.

Silmarillion Stuff

Essentially every track of mine that is entirely my own composition including tracks based on other concepts, that are not merely arrangements but truly original in nature.

Original Compositions

Strugglers is roughly anything with less than 350 plays so far.

Amateurish stuff about the Silmarillion, no intent to infringe JRRT

Performed by myself in December of 2022 on a Roland FA-08 from memory by ear with no sheet music, as one track with 2 hands.  Original composition, but not monetizing this because I dont wan't New Line or Tolkien Estate to come crush me.
Finrod+Galadriel has to do with the passage in the Silmarillion where Finrod tells Galadriel things are about to go badly.
The following paraphrase:
"Now Finrod Felagund had no wife, and Galadriel asked why this should be."
"And Finrod answered: 'An oath I too must swear, and be free to fulfill it, and go into darkness.  Nor shall anything of my realm endure that a son should inherit.' 
"

FINROD+GALADRIEL

Amateurish stuff about the Silmarillion, no intent to infringe JRRT


The refrain follows the first four lines of the poem of the Eärendillinwë that Frodo heard when he walked off for a minute during the evening in Rivendell and suddenly heard Elvish voices chanting.  The remainder of the piece is intended to shift into sort of a theme of the Silmarillion overall (sort of a cinematic theme) and doesn't follow the rest of poem's words.
Sharp listeners will note a few influences:

1) the spots where it seems to pause are the short bit of music when Aragorn tries to give back the Evenstar to Arwen, shortly after the halfway point of the Two Towers movie (when we had discs it was a minute or 2 into the 2nd disc after Eowyn gives Aragorn the rabbit stew ("The Evenstar does not wax or wane...").  With a triumphal major-key phrase-ending intended for Beren & Luthien that differs from the Two Towers phrase.

2) a few places I borrow from the Returner's Hideout theme in Final Fantasy 6.

Dissatisfaction Expands To The Available Space

A very short ambient/jazz track with some pads in it

It is sort of like, supposed to be a cutesy update of the little amusing short piano thing in Winger's apartment before he does the pushups at the beginning of Stripes(1981) with Bill Murray.  That they play for about 2 loops.  I know how to play that by ear too and get good satisfaction out of that just laughing at it.

This one per the cover art is sort of an update to Soyjak life in current-day dystopia industrialized cities or something.  He's got his little delusion graphic in his head that things are fine and reality is the smog etc.

(Well I Guess) Maybe I'll Bribe Her With Some Fruit

A new version of the Eärendillinwë  that I earlier released 10 months ago, but
in pure piano form, so that people can hear the chord structure
better, with a more relaxed pace where I could put the
phrases that were missing from the first one.

When I recorded in summer 2022 I had the metronome click
on and felt rushed for time - this version puts some good
things back into it.  Those with a good ear for cinematic
music will note that I am borrowing the ending phrase partly
from a scene in Richard III (1955) with Laurence Olivier.
Those who don't know it - go watch the movie.  You'll instantly
recognize where I pulled this from.

All rights reserved to the Tolkien Estate and whoever currently
holds the music rights to the Richard III movie.  This is very
pointedly a non-monetized, free track.  Just as the earlier version.

Eärendillinwë (Piano, Alternate Phrases)

The four-part playlist link for the battle specifically is this:

This track is not monetized.
All rights reserved to the Tolkien Estate, New Line, etc, whoever holds all the Tolkien rights.  Completely free track.  Enjoy

A little very-to-the-point thing about the midsummer morning when forces lined up for the Battle of Unnumbered Tears.

IYKYK
if you dont check this
https://tolkiengateway.net/wiki/Nirnaeth_Arnoediad

or the old fashioned way, is to find the pertinent chapter "Of The Fifth Battle..."  in the Silmarillion

Looking around soundcloud...
A bunch of other metal things go into the main course of the battle.
This here is more of a study of when they were initially hopeful at the start.
(Whereupon anyone else's main battle stuff, is completely valid following this thing, more power to that)

Sharp observers will notice phrases re-used from the two different versions of Earendillinwe in my track list, it is encouraged to also check those out (and the track notes of both).

Lining Up For The Nirnaeth

Extended of Upside to Manlet Existence.
Part 5 of the DistroKid Requirement Expansions.

Which was challenging because the base tune is kind of way shorter than 1 minute which is what DistroKid sets as a minimum.
But I had some real fun with this one.  First time that I inserted an extra beginning rather than an ending (which also got extended)

The Great March

The Middle Eight of Mach Rider's Main Tune for original 8-bit NES.

All rights reserved to Nintendo and the original composer (Hideki Kanazashi)
No intent to infringe, free track for all.

Middle 8 is kind of a misnomer it's longer than 8 measures but it's accurate enough as "the part you don't normally hear until you're advanced into something"  As this tune only played if you were at least 8 courses into the game's progression.  When the ruins are replaced by futuristic buildings on the horizon.

Dedicated to all of those who are headed either direction on I-5 into Seattle at around exit 190's ish not really obeying 80 MPH in the left lane.  We know who you are.  A significant fraction of you are humming exactly this portion.

Performed manually without any arpeggiation, from memory.  It's a little glitchy but it's the fondness for it that counts.

Mach Rider Middle Eight

Audio 0003 The Cry Of Weaks

TASCAM DR-05X

Rivers

The main theme is another one from my distant teenage years, written on a small keyboard as a flute tune. 
My friend like it, so we fooled around with it and even recorded a song called ''Field of Dew'', as a satine of folkish/radio friendly love songs popular in Dalmatia, that alone probably influenced me to use the theme for a romance-like composition.
Sentiment and content wise, it is very personal, filled with melodies reminiscing all of turmoil one can experience in love, from happy moments like the first glance in the shared with one another in a crowd during a Metallica cover band concert, strolling through the sun bathed forest of Gorski Kotar, and many more, both happy and unhappy. 
This piece is dedicated to Vanja Kalemba, the mother of my son and also the author of many paintings I use as a art cover of my compositions.

Romance For Piano, B-flat Lydian

"Winter's Return" (Jack Miller)
(c) 2024 Cenote Music

Winter's Return

Never Odd or Even is an uplifting New Age inspired piece consisting of piano, guitar, bass and clarinet.  It's foundation is a finger-picked classical guitar accompanied by a plucked upright bass.  The piano and clarinet add to the richness and melodic aspects of the composition.

Never Odd Or Even

A composition depicting perhaps the midst of snowy winter, where the encroaching cold is held at bay with a memory of a loved one. 
Harmonically I mostly stayed in D minor/major, with a brief excursion in G minor. I've attempeted to write a middle passage in F major, but the two themes I've managed to come up with simply didn't fit with the rest of the music, but hey, at least I have two new themes for next pieces. 
Completed in the March of 2025.

07 - The Wedding (Instrumental) (From the Original Novel Soundtrack)

Mind Food

What use is living
Since life is full of downs?
Progress comes with failing,
Discovery earns the crown.

Are answers to be sourced so easily,
Without treading on the legs of negativity?
Show me a forever rising tide,
For it’s true that one day it will subside.

Enjoy the course of nature
As she talls and falls.
Embrace the picture
As the paint thus sprawls.

An unintended art piece forms—
Out of a concept, an idea storms.
Discoveries are made
When the process of failure is paid.

So take time with ungrounded expectations,
That you may unearth joy out of any situation.

Mind Food

Chance’s Embrace

A foundation is thus formed at the nucleus,
With hopes of one day becoming something famous.
Chances are notes of opportunities,
Which require vocals for notoriety.

Sing me a sound so perfectly in tune,
That I may embrace this chance of fortune.
For they say she knocks momentarily—
One encounter is enough to know I’ve been treated fairly

By the giver of opportunities,
For we are in sync, entwined in unity,
And as vocals do notes, he complements me.

Chance’s Embrace

The jam called for "controlled chaos" as its text prompting, so one could think of this as a sequel to Waiting For The Righting of the Gomboc (Release CCCLXIII) with some differences.

Palimpsest of Fallen Hegemony (Halcyon Serenity submission for Impressions Composing Jam Original Soundtrack 2 hosted by KaleOverlord for Itch.IO)

Palimpsest of Fallen Hegemony 02 - Halcyon Serenity

Two Too Many is a pensive and introspective piece, where Jeremias Langsämmer carefully balances restraint and emotion. The pizzicato strings establish a quiet pulse, like measured footsteps in contemplation, while the cello and violin add depth and longing. Swelling string textures emerge gently, never overwhelming, but coloring the piece with a sense of unresolved thought. It’s music that feels like an internal dialogue—reflective, searching, and quietly expressive. Langsämmer crafts a space where emotion lingers in the pauses as much as in the notes themselves, making for a deeply affecting listen.

Two Too Many by Jeremias Langsämmer

Composed , Produced, Written and Arranged by Jah-Femi Telewa

Angel’s Song is a hauntingly beautiful fusion of hip-hop and orchestral soul, opening with angelic choir harmonies and poetic reflections on love, peace, and divine presence. With ethereal ahhhs and vivid imagery, it captures the serenity of nightfall as angels sing and bells ring softly in the background. A meditative journey through sound and spirit.

Lyrics 
Ahhhh
Ahhhhhh
Ahhhh
Ahhh
Ahhh

Let the angels sing,
Let the light true lovers bring.
When the rain falls down,
The flowers would shed petals as they drown.

When night falls dim and the angels start to sing,
That’s when the joy it brings
Settles on the night to bring it calm.

Angels sing,
Calm it brings.

Watch the nighttime,
They’re singing—
The angels
Keep singing.
The bells ring,
Keep ringing,
At the nighttime
While you’re sleeping.

Watch the nighttime,
They’re singing—
The angels
Keep singing.
The bells ring,
Keep ringing,
At the nighttime
While you’re sleeping.

Ahhhhhhhh
Ahhhhhh
Ahhhhhh
Ahhhhh
Ahhhhh
Ahhhhh

Angel’s Song:

Written, produced, composed and vocally arranged by Jah-Femi Telewa…

Dark Valley

In the valley where the children do not play,
The sun will withhold its shine, shedding not a ray.

In that place where sunlight’s shy,
Children will not play—
’Tis just the way it does occur today.

If you should walk across this valley in the day,
You bet I’ll be by your side, showing you the way.
Even when you’re in fear of dark,
I will be your light
To guide you through this treacherous dark display.

Chorus
Light through partway has never been seen,
Not even in the mornings when
The songbirds love to sing.
My guide through this partway will conjure a display
To guide you to the place you have to be.

Say, my light through partway has never been seen,
Not even in the mornings when
The songbirds love to sing—
Say, the birds love to sing in the morning.

Dark Valley feat . Phoebe Street: Real Singer, Real instruments

A gentle classical composition that soothes the soul and invites deep rest. Blending soft orchestral textures with a lullaby-like cadence, this piece is perfect for winding down, meditation, or peaceful reflection. Let the music carry you into restful sleep.

Rest

Restful sleep,
Sleep,
Sleep.

Restful sleep,
Sleep,
Sleep.

Restful sleep,
Sleep,
Sleep.

Restful sleep, my child.

Rest for day, till night comes again.
Pati-en-tly pace your breath as you lay.

Restful sleep,
Sleep,
Sleep.

Restful sleep,
Sleep,
Sleep.

Restful sle-ep,
Still deep.

Restful sle-ep,
Soft, sweet.

Restful sle-ep,
Still deep.

Restful sleep, my child.

Times would be tough
When you come of age.
Mind all troubles—
Things would be rough.

Restful sleep,
Soft, sweet.

Restful sleep,
Still deep.

PROGRAM NOTE
For many years, my wife Victoria and her FAB5 quintet (string quartet and percussion), have entertained thousands of people at numerous performance spaces and travel hubs in New York City, including Moynihan Train Hall, Oculus World Trade Center, Javits Center, and Chelsea Market. Having seen many of their shows, especially those at travel hubs, there's a certain tension and release you experience watching people wait anxiously for their trains, and then the release they feel when they are finally on their way. I've had these experiences myself, so I wanted to create two pieces that emulate these feelings.

Wound Up/Unwind consists of two contrasting pieces for string quartet and percussion. The first, Wound Up, for string quartet and cajón, imitates the feeling of being worried, anxious, and frustrated, especially while waiting to board a train. The second, Unwind, for string quartet and handpan, is calm and soothing, perhaps emulating the satisfying feeling of relaxing in a quiet seat as the train leaves the station. Both pieces can be performed independently and in any order.

Wound Up/Unwind is written for and commissioned by the FAB5 quintet with support from the New York City Department of Cultural Affairs.

Another Day's End (classical version)

submission for Weekend Composing Jam #6 hosted by Joe Chris (ScoringTech.NET) for Itch.IO October 2025

because I ditched my FA-08 export of WAV what i did was post-process it with MixCraft's instruments and when you do that, then the MuseScore version -does- closely align with the revised MIDI coming straight from Mixcraft it loaded the latter straight-up with all the closest things correctly chosen already.

Húrin Thalion Dragged Across Anfauglith / Brought Before Morgoth

The 54th vocal.

Lyrics:

HUMBLE PIE A LA MODE

The universe rewards focus but punishes attachment

When the tag line is 
It feels like time travel
And the travel is to the past
And is in every way better
You need to start 
Asking yourself at last
Some serious questions
Like why the fuck
Did things unravel
Why does the present suck

Are you living the dream
And lovin' the acceleration
Fast feels faster
Even as i breathe slower
Funny how that works
In fact my plucky concert-goer
They said they found
A cool way to monetize
Undermining the social contract

I don't know where to begin
But there was this university
Consisting of only admin
The creme de la creme
It was every admin's dream
And according to them
It was everything that it seemed

She and i were playing acey ducey
And righty tighty lefty lucy
Said don't be highbrow about the lowkey
And i said okey dokey
It's not like i could offend a Gen-Z

Having desisted from responding to me
She was silent for a bit
And so i said i'll speak
Since the frog in your throat has got you
If your judicial system fails on all fronts
No one will give a shit
About its abstruse ethical consistency
And they've a right not to

And she asked
Why don't i know about that
And i said now try not to quail
But i haven't studied your ignorance
In that much detail

The libs do find some real weird things
To fill that God-shaped hole in their heart
But she was nearly done with her repast
Having ordered a la carte

America is shut down 
And the president is skipping town
But the man who said so 
Is himself a dapper clown

She went on to say several things
Which drove me to distraction
But who determines what a crime is
If not through ethical abstractions

We lost the ability
To make women
Capable of being nice
And are at the mercy of foreign suppliers
Not only spies
But robots with uniform boob size
At an affordable price
A problem too intractable
For a pair of pliers

We finished out the rest of our meal
And nothing served so well as it should
To grease the conversation's wheels
But nothing tastes half so good
As being unemployed feels

Thalassix The Mermaid Queen (Alternate for WNCJ39)

A plunge into trying to merge my vocal style with techno "sections"

When we look at the present strictures
We are a sad generation with happy pictures

After a frittering of eros 
On the barren grounds of lack
I decided soundly
To take another tack

In response to his cold stare
I said it gets pretty funny
45 billion here, 45 billion there
And suddenly you're talking about real money

He related as I dolloped the pancake syrup
The morning after he'd flagellated his furry integument
That a hacker get together in Europe
You see is an un-assessed data environment

His concluding vision was prophetic
Media production orbiting
A star of memetic contagion
A cynical relation
To art and aesthetics
As something to bully around
Until we're back to reality
And we smack into the ground

If you find the present day alarming
When you wonder where the authentic
Antique rizz has gone
Consider that aura-farming 
Is another great example of zoomer 
Internalization of the panopticon

An added garnish like parsley
Imagining a third party judging you harshly
When you shake off the romantic haze
your actions are but a spectacle
For an imagined collective gaze
Where you make the needed wiggles

You don't need to be actually cool you see
You can just curate the required signals
When you're the right kind of fool
You simulate aura 
Until simulation becomes reality
Like some opportunity cost sink

But chat what do you think

As regards immigration
For Schrodinger's assimilation
A fair amount of guilt is required
To stoke enough emotion
I tried to check
If the cat in the box was dead
But it busted ass for the ocean
As soon as the subsidies expired

I failed to convince him so i noped
He was the cock of the walk
And could talk the talk
And then one day
The man who invented the scissors statement
Broke his snippers on a rock
And i confessed to some abatement
Of my hopes

And then i started to wince
Because it was the first time in his life
That this dude missed an opportunity to mince

I thought i was about to die
When he said in all seriousness
The Wizard of Oz is a reverse harem isekai.

I tried to cheer him up anyway
And told him
Even if though for the moment
You feel like you're on the skids
Now that you have haters
It means that you're one of the cool kids

And then i had a realization which gave me pause
To earn the right to be a retard
You must first become genius enough
To reverse the damage you cause

Panopticon Parsley

DREAM

A therapeutic journey into a mix of jazz, classical, and a blend of types of electronica.  And a wry, gradual observation that promotion tends to only go as far as you push it.  At least I make my fellow musicians laugh a little.
