MusicWeeklies Challenges

Today's #MusicalMinute is a humble submission to the @MusicWeeklies #Smart challenge.  Fashions come and go, but if you step back you can see that they often move in cycles.  Interestingly, this makes for some intriguing predictions and perspectives.  Anyway, I hope you like the track...

Somewhere, hidden in plain sight, is a #SecretBase patrolled by the staff of @MusicWeeklies!  Nothing gets past them, not a note unheard.  Their reach is enormous, influencing creative minds across the globe.  How do you gain access?  By using a combination of # & @…

08 Dec 23 Hidden Lab

Sometimes, you can be so busy doing what needs to be done, that you forget why you’re doing it.  I imagine that it must be like that, at times, in #SantasWorkshop, the theme for this week’s @MusicWeeklies challenge.  How many toys get made each year?  Thankfully, help is coming…

15 Dec 23 Elfving Away

This week’s @MusicWeeklies challenge is #Crystals, so I thought I’d strip away all the woodwind, brass and traditional instruments.  This uncovered the complexities that have been omnipresent in the percussion.  The strings return, providing a calming soundscape for an earworm-like melody on the celeste.  What do you think?

22 Dec 23 Simple Clarity

Today’s #MusicalMinute revisits the meditative melody from a few days earlier.  However, the accompaniment has evolved to encompass a soundscape of energetic calm!  In the 21st Century, it appears that you get what you focus on most.  Was it always thus?

05 Jan 24 Calm Focus

This unique track features a high-pitched whistling reminiscent of a shepherd's tone, complemented by warm, low strings and a playful music box melody that gently fades away. A single, dominant organ chord takes over, maintaining a consistent pitch throughout the remainder of the track, enveloped by very subtle, modulating high-pitched pads. This composition conjures a sober, emotional atmosphere filled with curiosity, wonder, and mystery. Its static organ tone and carefully layered sounds make it perfect for video games or documentaries looking to evoke a sense of exploration without unease.

Big Boy Boxing OST - Trigger Happy

The second immersive soundscape combines the didgeridoo and natural sounds from South Africa. The piece is created the same way than the first. The sounds are designed and placed in such a way that the listener can choose one sound in the piece and focus. The track is designed to help the individual improve their listening skills, find focus and quiet their mind. The neurodiverse community will find great benefit from the soundscapes. It is the same for others who wish to find a little bit of quiet in their busy lives.

Soundtrack No. 18

I started composing daily pieces and posting them onto SoundCloud at the beginning of 2013.  By posting daily I am tweaking, experimenting and developing a thought, idea or event in time.  I am endeavouring to show that there is no limit to that creative spark that lies within each of us.  So much of what we do nowadays is about instant return, I am about evolution not revolution (although each month starts with a clean slate).  Join me on my journey to 10,000 (18 May 2040!!!)

Over the years I have found the Soundcloud community to be extremely supportive and encouraging.  It’s great to have a Global Mastermind of musical adventurers.

Thank you!
