Have completely reworked this old track from 2008 using the mighty KORG instrumentation set to give it a fresh vibrant feel, enjoy.

Twilight 2021

'The Five Thieves' Inspired by the Taoist understanding of the theft of the energy from the five Yin organs by the emotions.

    I wish you all a bunch of them!     ☯️

Delicious Moments

Instrumental music has the power to take us in a journey inside our mind.

Harmonies and melodies can be food for the soul, love for the lost and a light for peace.

Songs without words deliver a spiritual emotional message, they can help us to ease the pain.

Thank you for the support 🙏

Land Of Dreams

When those we are now joyfully developing take inventory and count out by "were you good?". Christmas times very different with a built-in malfunction!

Small robots for children were placed under the Christmas tree. Now it is the robots that rule us. The Christmas tree is already electric in many places!

a not entirely serious story  ;) 😉

Merry Christmas to all who supported me so far, listened to me and read. Stay healthy and creative!

LOVE LANE

Written by Brian Reeves, 7/8/79
Recorded 1980, possibly somewhere in Coventry…honestly not sure.

Many thanks to Camillo Tirados at the TLSS Studios, Homerton, who remastered a rather muffled demo into what you're hearing now.  Well worth it, because this is a great pop song and something of a family favourite.
For the one that slipped through my fingers.

Brian Reeves: Everything

LYRICS:

Shed a tear from the past today
As I drove down Love Lane
Though I’ve never been fitter
In my bones there’s pain

Looked across at the house you stayed at
On the corner of Love Lane
Though the sun was shining bright
In my heart it rained

Home is where the heart is
Love Lane is where I want it to stay
You may say I’m living in the past
But I love you just as much today

Thought I saw you walking by
In the middle of Love Lane
But she didn’t look a bit like you
Think I’ve gone insane

I remember the dance floor
Where we used to go on Friday nights
Used to get so giddy in your arms
I can still see the light

Shed a tear for the lonely boy
As he walks down Love Lane
Looking back at his empty arms
You can feel the pain

Love Love Love Lane
Love Love Love Lane
Love Love Lane
(Repeat)


Love Lane - Rocky Mountain (1979)

Inside Out (Remastered)

Through Light-Years drifts with cosmic ease — a synth-wave journey that feels like gliding through space at a relaxed light speed. Shimmering melodies and spacious atmospheres create the sensation of infinite stars rushing past, pulling you into a dreamlike voyage beyond time. Perfect for late-night drives, stargazing, or simply escaping into the endless horizon.

Through Light-Years

[…]The track sits right at the crossroads of electronica, EDM, and synthwave, with a vibe that calls to mind late-night journeys and shifting digital landscapes.

The rhythm is built on a tight, pulsing grid, with patterns that evolve slowly, keeping a steady and purposeful tension. The kicks are dry and sharp, while the secondary percussion adds depth and energy without weighing down the structure. The synth takes center stage: layered, modulated, and rich in texture, it paints a soundscape that swings between analog nostalgia and futuristic momentum. Synthetic harmonies weave together with minimal melodic lines, crafting a suspended, cinematic atmosphere.[…] PARKETTCHANNEL.IT

AUTONOMOUS CODE

hi friends; .... no instant music, it's my original work :) midi stuff programmed by me :D + my real soprano saxophone jam ..... work in progress. dance with eyes closed, enjoy!

Speed And Light / In A State Of Trance

At home producer of electronic tracks in varying styles - I really enjoy experimenting with melding different genres. 
Been writing songs since the mid 70's whilst playing bass & drums in various bands (the first one was a punk band) and digitally writing since 2006. Retired now, so much more time for having fun with music :) It's just a hobby for me these days; Soundcloud is just a great place to share music & connect with people who have the same interests.  All my recent music is free to download - if you want to download any that don't have a download link, just let me know :)
I appreciate - and love to listen to - all genres, from orchestral through to metal. 

Thank you for reading, and hope you enjoy the music.

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 😆

By the way: this user-92853963 was my old link address and leads to the empty.... I AM NOT A ROBOT!

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

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.
