Fantasy pur. Direkte Konkurrenz zu Enya. Tolle Flöte, Percussion, wunderschönes Streicher-Arrangement.

Unglaublich gut. Da müssen sich die etablierten Filmmusiker "da draußen" warm anziehen!

A wonderful atmospheric and epic song. Such a beautiful and touching melody!🎶✨

Hip Hop fans on Soundcloud are likely to have come across the prolific talent of Ian Greaves (aka @IPG1). Ian's smart & slick vocal tracks are widely used in collaboration by other artists, as I've done here with one of his more popular lyric tracks, "Modern Times".  

On this collaboration, all lyrics are written & sung by IPG1, and most of the music is performed by me, with the exception of the sampled vocalization in the middle bridge and ending, and a few minor sound effects here & there. The beginning starts off normal enough, but the middle section takes a bit of a left turn before I 'go off' on the synth in the second half. I kind of enjoyed working the sliders on the live synth performance.   ;)

HUGE thanks to IPG1 for his generosity and helping me put together what is effectively my first hop hop tune, originally composed as an instrumental track. The lyrics are a topic close to my heart too, so really enjoyed being able to add my 2 cents in a way. 

Here's the link back to IPG1's original vocal track; please give him a listen!:

And here's a link to the instrumental version, which was composed first before adding Ian's lyrics:

I don't gotsta tell y'all this would be best played loud with headphones.   ;)

Mirror, mirror...in a new guise. I've given the title a new name to match the video on my YouTube channel.

I also gave the track more drama after the former end sequence with the help of Clara Sorace's wonderful yet epic legato soprano 😍

We are continuing our collaborative relationship [Metalogue & Fluff] with 'Tephra', a brand new track featuring prominently on Metalogue's upcoming album 'Anomaly' (Combat Recordings). 

This time, we've pushed the boundaries quite a bit and experimented much more with concept and abstraction - something already hinted at, but never pursued to such an extent in our previous album 'Slate Horizons' (2018).

Relentless percussion and manic vocalisations contrast with ethereal voices and a mesmerising piano modulation based around the recurring melodic theme of the album.

Partly inspired by a freak volcanic winter event in 1816, 'Tephra' ties in with the overall album theme - a fascination with sci-fi and mysterious 'zones' - and plays with the juxtaposition of disaster and chaos vs. stillness, ruins, and the long forgotten.

As with all tracks on 'Anomaly', Metalogue recombined elements of 'Tephra' into the other album tracks, whilst mangled excerpts of 'Tephra' also resurface in Monster X’s cataclysmic 'Anomaly' remix.

'Anomaly' is available now for digital pre-order, and members of Metalogue’s mailing list will receive a free download code for the entire album a few days before official release in February 2020.

04 Tephra [Metalogue & Fluff]

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.
