tickling them ivories again beautiful composition

Beautiful "trailer music". Frank - to open 2023!

Ein wunderbarer Aufbau vom sanften, fließenden Piano zum mitreißenden, vorwärtsstrebenden Teil.

Absolutely powerful composition. Chapeau!!

I really liked this music. I don't know if it's from the movie, because I haven't seen it yet.

After more than 6 years on SoundCloud now, with 239 tracks behind me (of which about half composed, arranged, mixed and recorded in collaboration) that were released in 14 SC solo concept albums and 10 SC collaborative concept albums (one of them, in fact, a single) - all available for free here, in the Albums section - and with 1924 SC followers as I am writing, I would consider myself experienced enough to start selecting beautiful music from my SC favourites in occasional playlists of about 10-15 tracks (or some hour of play time). Here is the 1st one, of today, 30 January 2023: I hope you'll enjoy it as much as I do. Many more inspired compositions or songs by many more favourite SC artists in various genres will, of course, be appearing, as the next playlists will be gradually added. This new initiative of mine also comes after - and celebrates - 62,990 listens, 10,010 likes, 4,603 reposts and 6,137 comments to my SoundCloud tracks.

The cover photo for this playlist 1 (a snowless - but foggy and frosty - winter sunset) was taken by me during an afternoon of walking with a group on 21 January 2023 in the fields and forests around the English town of Reading, where I have been living and working since 2006.

Duration: 59 minutes (12 tracks)

SoundCloud Favourites - Playlist 1 (30.01.2023)

Gaelic language version of the original song. With many thanks to Eileen Coyle (Irish Gaeilge vocals) & Ciara Hall (translator):

The isle of Inishmore and the other Aran Islands off the west coast of Ireland hold a mythic significance within Ireland’s cultural heritage (it’s where the great Irish playwright Synge, amongst others, went to immerse himself in the Irish language and its creative spirit). This tribute is something of a dreamscape inspired by the strength of the Celtic soul and the majesty of the scenery. The imagery and poetry are intended as a general homage (the visual images are taken from a wide range of locations both within Ireland and further afield – they’re intended to conjure up something of the haunting grandeur of the west of Ireland rather than being a literal representation). The themes embodied - exile, love/longing and the dream of redemption - are elemental within Irish poetry and song. If this little offering adds anything to enhance the special place which Ireland holds in many of our hearts (or soothe, even for a moment, any of its wounds) it will have fulfilled it’s goal.

MUSIC FOR AN EPILOGUE.

===============================

Composition started in July 2021.

Finished and edited in November 2022.

Last composition using KV331 and Synthmaster One, months before they deactivated the inter App function that I use on my ipad to use sounds.

It is fragmented into an intro, then a piano fragment to move on to another electronic symphonic section and end in an orchestral section.

It is one of my most complex music for which I have used:

30 tracks from Music Studio 2 with native and Xewton forum instruments.

2 tracks from Korg iM1

1 Prophet track (Arturia)

7 Synthmaster One Tracks

1 Track of Digital D1.

Made exclusively on ipad.

Mix in my car....perfectly parked.

Thanks for your comments and support. It is always a pleasure to read your messages and opinions.

Paco.

Music for an epilogue

Bittersweet Memories

So many people struggle with insomnia because of devices in bed. I am guilty myself. Most of my music was created to listen to in the dark when there is no other sound. Put in your earbuds so it goes right into your brain - and dream.

My first track in this new year 2023. Inspired by the movie "Avatar: The Way Of Water". The first one has already impressed me very much...

Consider this as trailer music for the movie 😊 A somewhat longer part will follow... 🏃🏻‍♂️

Welcome to the new year 🥳

Way Of Water

A song about a lost friendship

Standing in the fire 
by Lilli A. 

You were like a shadow
that followed me in the sun.
But when I stood in darkness,
Somehow you always were gone.

It hurts to let it go
like you did long time ago
when you dragged my name through muck and mire.
 
I'm standing in the fire. 
I am burning (inside)
and you’ve inflamed 
my pain.

I'm standing in the fire 
that you lit.
I’ve had enough of it it!
I quit (and I’ll walk away).
 
We were never right for each other.
I’ve learned the hard way, of course.
I blame myself for expecting too much.
My mind is trying to understand yours.

It's good to let it go.
Should've done so long time ago
when you dragged my name through muck and mire.

I'm standing in the fire. 
I am burning (inside)
and you’ve inflamed 
my pain.

I'm standing in the fire 
that you lit.
I’ve had enough of it it!
I quit.

I know they say never say never,
I just don’t see us together.
I don’t wanna see your face again
cause you are no longer my friend.
nana na naa na naa na na na
nana na naa na naa na na na.
I don’t wanna see your face again
cause you are no longer my friend.

I'm standing in the fire 
I'm standing in the fire 
I'm standing in the fire 
that you’ve inflamed.

I'm standing in the fire 
I'm standing in the fire 
I'm standing in the fire.

Between The Melodies In Gmin

Batir del buho

When corrupted judge betray your case, what you gonna do? You sign-off from your motel, you throw your badge to the garbage and with an illegal gun full of death you go unleash hell against the cartel ruling the city. You become an angel of revenge, one last redemption for your murdered love. This night, come what may...

Crime Of Justice

Sonata Moment

Dit is een architectuur voor transformatie. Dertien sonische landschappen, ontworpen om je te begeleiden door de poort van de eclipse naar een nieuw hoofdstuk.

'Here I Am' is een reis in 13 delen. Van de delicate noten van piano en viool tot de diepe, meditatieve lagen van ambient soundscapes. Elke track is zorgvuldig verweven met specifieke binaural beats en solfeggio frequenties, niet als effect, maar als fundament.

Dit album is gemaakt als een ritueel. Een soundtrack om bewust los te laten, diep te voelen en helder te kiezen wie je vanaf nu wilt zijn. Luister het van begin tot eind als een complete sessie, of kies de track die resoneert met wat je op dit moment nodig hebt.

De titel is de bestemming van elke track: een dieper besef van het hier en nu. 
*Here I Am*. 
Volledig aanwezig. Klaar voor wat komt.

Jockkie - Here I Am - 09. Awaken the Dawn

I have always admired music, of diverse styles. Like most of us, I have tried learning to play a few instruments at a basic level in my teenage. But it is only now, in the 21st century, that modern software allows anyone to fool around being the composer, the designer of a whole composition, simpler or more complex, organising together the parts of the various instruments - and to hear the results of this experimentation or inspiration instantly! That is how I have recently begun enjoying the distraction of attempts at composing during my leisure, discovering an amazing dimension of life, and art, perhaps the most intangible, heightening and hypnotising one, and the closest to the soul... (21 August 2017) ... Forgot to mention: music is for sharing - that's why we are all here! (4 September 2017)

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.
