Emotional and immersive! Beautiful melodies and a deep, heartfelt atmosphere. Well done! 🎶❤️🎶

Great sound i like the atmosphere and the vocals

I'm an INTJ.  Good music.  Interesting lyrical story.

There’s something about the way this sits, like it’s holding back a flood but letting just enough through to keep you feeling everything 💔 The emotion’s not loud, but it’s right there, woven into the space between the words. It pulls you in without making a scene, and that’s kind of the point 🧊 The ice dispenser blinked slowly and whispered, “Some feelings are colder when they’re calm, that’s what makes them hit” 🔥 The oven stayed warm long after it ended 🧽 The dishwasher stopped mid cycle just to listen.

Thanks to Ben Bateman for his quick and efficient work on mastering my song.

All I have is this moment

*** This extended version was not planned, rather, inspiration called for it, and I felt compelled to revisit this piece. I hope you will enjoy this new version. ***

A requiem for my sister Lisa, and 4th movement of a work I have planned to complete as I have time and inspiration for each part of my outline.

The title comes from my daughter, who heard me as I was playing with the initial melodic idea, and said it sounds like a mourning bird.

This piece is best heard through headphones or quality stereo speakers to hear all the details.

Special thanks to the following, in no particular order, for their feedback, support and kindness which helped me to make this piece what it is.

Birds of Mourning: Extended Version

Yoshi & Chie are friends of mine from Osaka, Japan, where I lived for a year back in 2002-03. They now live here in Toronro, where I got to know them while busking together on the street, and jamming at my house with a few other friends. Here's a medley of music from that day:
https://on.soundcloud.com/UtPSC

Yoshi is an incredibly talented and super creative sitar player, sometimes playing with a violin bow, or with trippy electronic effects. He participated in a performance of Sgt Pepper's Lonely Heart Club Band full album re-enactment here in Toronto several years ago. Together with wife Chie, who plays didgeridoo, sings, and plays various percussion and electronic effects, they form the group Kaminari. Kaminari is a very popular act performing at various music festivals around Toronto, with shows now including dancing performances by their daughter.

This is a song from their early album Triangle, where I was honoured to be asked to play the drum (djembe) part - the only other artist on the album. 

Here's a video of a show they did a while ago to give you a sense of their stuff. I just like to plug them cause they're a super nice couple and a joy to play with.

thanks for listening!

Captive Of Time (collab)

Mark says,
"Making music with Rodolfo is always exciting and often a challenge, although I know we both find it stimulating, as we always aim to reach high and this post is no exception. This new song, started its gestation almost a year ago, instantly showed a lot of promise and since has been through many stages of exploration and rounds of problem-solving. The painfully blunt lyrics were initially inspired by a friend's brutal relationship break-up, but the final result is much heavier. I hope you find it moving rather than disturbing, I was trying to match the mood of Rod's deeply dramatic music."

Rodolfo says,
"I think it's a fantastic song and you've done an amazing job on both the story and the vocals, especially those tough lines. When I was writing it, I just felt like a modern blues with a techno vibe was taking shape. The final sound was defined by the story and those really dramatic, emotional lyrics. You might want to make it clear that it's a fictional story to avoid giving our friends heart attacks."

We appreciate all of the kind support that the Soundcloud community has given our collaborations. Thanks for listening and sharing your thoughts, Mark and Rodolfo

Me - Vocals and lyrics

Moments of stress,
How did you deal with the rest?
All that is left of you and me,
Is wrecked.
How can we expect,
To go on when there’s nothing at all left?
 
…Left in the lurch,
You should have done more research.
I was truly never a safe bet for you…
For you could have made,
A much better match than you did with me.
 
Open your eyes,
I promise you won’t be surprised,
It’s been there before you,
All along, all of the way…
…Way before you had sensed,
That we had got it all so wrong by then.
 
Moments of stress,
All such a mess,
It’s anyone’s guess,
How it all went so wrong?
Moments of stress,
No more nor less,
Need I express,
How it all went so wrong?

I always enjoy collaborating with Bruce Kenyon (https://soundcloud.com/epicdreamery). This song is about enduring difficulty yet keeping a positive outlook. 

I am a Survivor
Music, Vocals and production by Bruce Kenyon
Lyrics by Andrea Brennan

V1
Standing at your grave site
I am fearful and cold
You weren't supposed to leave me
I'm just eighteen years old

V2
The world is a monster 
I will now face alone
But I have your love inside my heart
And your strength inside my bones

Chorus
I am a survivor
I'm ready to fight
Dark times lay ahead
But my will burns bright
I am a survivor
And I'm ready to fight
With an angel watching over me
I know I'll be alright

V3
Silent tears sting my eyes
As I resolve to go
Heading off towards my future 
Down an uncharted road

V4
Mistakes they may find me 
With every wrong turn
But I will keep (on) growing stronger
With every lesson I learn

Chorus
I am a survivor
I'm ready to fight
Dark times lay ahead
But my will burns bright
I am a survivor
And I'm ready to fight
With an angel watching over me
I know I'll be alright

Bridge
You were my nest and oak tree
My sanctuary
My river and compass
Always guiding me
And every heartfelt stitch 
In our woven tapestry
All of these things
All these memories (optional L7 or L8)
Live on in me

Chorus
I am a survivor
I'm ready to fight
Dark times lay ahead
But my will burns bright

I am a survivor
And I'm ready to fight
With an angel watching over me
I know I'll be alright

I AM A SURVIVOR

For this nice optimistic track I used, as usual, LogicPro as the main DAW and Arturia's Analog Lab Pro. I hope you will enjoy the up-lifting ambiental dance vibe of this track.
Thanks for listening and support.

All Night Long

Descend into the immovable silence of Liturgia Atra, the eighth ritual cycle of the Arkanæa saga. Here, in the cold echo of stone and void, the divine watches without whispering—no warmth, no seduction, only the gravity of ancient liturgy.

Deep, distant Gregorian fragments drift through bowed-stone drones and pipe-organ undercurrents. Metallic scrapes and bone percussion punctuate rusted bells and gongs, while reversed vocal loops and breathless Coptic murmurs swirl like wind in a crypt. Cold analog synths and subterranean thunder recordings ground you in monolithic austerity.

This is a fossilized hymn—an archaic, post-sacramental relic where every tone uncovers what should have stayed buried.

✦ Gregorian Dark Ambient & Cold Ritual Drone
✦ Pipe Organ, Bowed Stone & Bone Percussion
✦ Rusted Bells, Gongs & Subterranean Wind
✦ Reversed Latin & Coptic Vocal Textures
✦ Tape Decay Chants & Monastic Field Recordings
✦ Enigmatic, Minimal & Monumental Atmosphere

Presented by Arkanæa: witness the sacred shadow.

Cripta Vocis

This ones a lil more experimental, I slowed it down and it honestly sounds really ambient so I'm posting this version.

Cyrus the Great — The Eternal King

Cyrus the Great, the founder of the Persian Empire, is remembered not only as a mighty conqueror but as a just and visionary ruler. He united nations with wisdom and fairness, earning the title of "The Father of Human Rights."

His legacy lives on through the Cyrus Cylinder, an ancient inscription written in cuneiform, often regarded as the world’s first declaration of human rights. In it, Cyrus proclaimed freedom of religion, the right to return to one’s homeland, and respect for all cultures.

To this day, the spirit of Cyrus stands as a timeless symbol of justice, freedom, and eternal greatness.
