5 façons de  nous prouver si il en est, que la création est sans limite dans tous les domaines musicaux que l'on peut approcher .... Il faut oser simplement. N'est-ce pas vrai mon Ami?

Les technologies d'aujourd'hui nous le permettent de très belle façon .... Preuve ici.

Just the piano itself is fantastic, but then all the other instruments... the flute.. Wow!!

Hello Frankles another beaut from you 👍

Original idea (as per your intro-text, title and timeline comments), Frank, and a varied, beautiful composition throughout!

5 tracks in one special. (70 BPM)...

The "vocal patches" (only to be heard in the original, at the beginning ;)are borrowed from the excellent library of https://www.ghosthack.de/.

The first track contains the piano (up to bar 66). I split the piano track into two tracks; bass down/melody up.... After that on the second track (approximately from the second minute - everyone must calculate the bars themselves!) the sample of the "string track" can be heard. From 3:19 the Chinese Dadi is heard on the third track. The 4th track contains the choir sample (I used Nexus here, but I won't tell you the exact patch ;). Track 5 contains the percussion. At first with little dynamics, in the second part with more range!

...and who asks about the "Epic" horns...Well, I played those myself 😆

By the way: The "Crescendo Cymbals" are free to use and available (and not linked in this project). Everyone should be equipped with these tools, which is why I didn't "sample" them separately here.  

By the way, all tracks are "wet", i.e. already equipped with reverb. If you want to work with "Dry", please send me a message.

Everybody who works with these samples has to be aware of the following:
 
The samples come from the following VSTs/ROM samplers/libraries:

https://refx.com/nexus/
https://www.amplesound.net/en/pro-pd.asp?id=40
or
https://www.bestservice.de/ample_china_dadi_acdd.html

Now everyone may tinker! I would be curious to see the result. Gladly also with singing! 😁

My Shoes Keep Walking Back To You, Gene Jumper, Ray Price ,( Cover )

Inspired by a wonderful instrument, by a wonderful landscape and by a wonderful woman, this musical picture was born in my head and found its way here... The wind of the east blows leisurely...

I didn't have time for an "orchestral" version, but maybe it will come soon...

Eastern Winds

A lovely bright thing on a stormy night
Entered into heaven which was not polite
"You came too soon" said the palace shade
"You flower and fruit and then you fade"

You fly too soon you fly too high
You know your life is standing by
Go work your clay and get ready for the way
Of stone and sky

Stone and sky

To be a lovely thing on slender wing
Or a horned god prowling for prey
In a thrashing fit to do the big fat "It"
While every way we go is pain

You wake to pain you wake to gray
And wonder how you came this way
You serpent bird - too low too high
For stone and sky

Stone and sky

(Too low, honey... Too high... Don't you know how to fly?)

A little bright light in a stormy sky
Scanning hell to heaven with the serpent's eye
And the bird's wing - "that's the only way
Bright young thing", said the shade

You crawl and fly you crawl and fly
You move according to the signs
You move it in the middle way
Of stone and sky

Stone and sky

Stone And Sky

For this latest collaborative composition, Liam and I separately wrote the two sections of an exposition in sonata form, and, for the middle 'development' section, we alternated writing eight measures each, and co-wrote the recapitulation and coda. Hope you enjoy!

This is an improvised piano composition I made during a difficult time. Recorded in one take.

Searching for Light (an improv piano piece)

A small note on my own behalf: I have noticed that my playback figures have dropped dramatically. The statistics show that the number of playbacks has dropped from 2000 per week to just under 200.
On the one hand, this is frustrating, as everyone sees this as an indicator and confirmation of their work. On the other hand, figures are not particularly important, but one wonders what is wrong. In my opinion, SC has changed a lot, uploading tracks has become more complicated and constant security queries are annoying.
In addition, great artists are disappearing from the platform, partly by their own choice, partly because they have been banned, the algorithm has “recognized” them as spam and mercilessly deleted their account. I'm still a paying member, but my attitude towards this has changed...

Please let me know your experiences and impressions.

When I don't have the time to actively listen to my favorite artists on soundcloud, I just leave the stream running...while washing up in the kitchen, for example 😆

********************************************************************

A long, long time ago, there was an organ in the Christmas-decorated living room in his parents' house, where Frank grew up. Originally bought by his father for his two older siblings, they showed no interest in playing the organ. Frank, however, did. White and black keys and giving off strange sounds. 

So at the age of 9 he began to let his fingers circle on this instrument, searching for the right keys like on a typewriter. And another 9 years would pass before he could buy his first own instrument. Already at the age of 13 he made notes about the then current synthesizers, bought one magazine after the other and visited music fairs in Frankfurt, Germany.

His first keyboard was the Yamaha DSR-2000, which he bought in a music store near his hometown Biebertal. In installments! Finally he could develop himself further - away from the limited tonality of the small organ. The built-in 8-track sequencer helped him to reach unimagined heights. 
Little by little his equipment expanded and his ambition to create music like that of Jean-Michel Jarres came closer. Influenced by this and countless other musicians of the time, his interest grew, but he taught himself everything. Not even having attended a music school or being able to read music at all, he wrote one song after another and recorded them on the only medium available to him at the time: audio cassettes.
Many of these recordings are unfortunately lost forever, because cassettes are and were not the best recording medium. He has to try to play many of his songs from memory. 

In 2007, he fulfilled a long-awaited wish: to buy a KORG. He had always wanted to own one, but with the latest synthesizers at the time of their release having a purchase price of over 6000 D-marks (the currency of the time in the 1980s and 1990s), that dream of owning one was far away. So in 2007 he bought a used KORG 01W/FD at ebay. And as before with the purchase of the Yamaha keyboard, a completely new world opened up to him.

In addition, there were expanders and sound modules from Kawai, Roland and Yamaha (K1m, SC-55, QY10). Six years later his enthusiasm for making music ebbed and rediscovered his hobby (which it always was and still is). In 2018 in April he decided to present his music to a wider audience and uploaded his first song on the platform soundcloud. Since that time, thanks also to the ever-evolving software, he continues to evolve, experiment and relive his times through music.
