FIRE EATER

Presenting
"Perfect 5th in A Minor Orchestral"

Everything can have drama but only if it is done right.....

WHY IS IT CALLED A PERFECT FIFTH?
The term “perfect” is used to describe the following intervals:

unison,
fourth,
fifth,
octave.
This dates back to medieval times where these intervals were thought of as the most “consonant” and so were named perfect.
The perfect 5th and the perfect 4th are closely related in terms of harmony as the inversion of a perfect 5th is a perfect 4th – e.g. if you invert the interval C-G it becomes G-C (perfect 4th)

Perfect 5th In A Minor Orchestral

Presenting
"Symphony of Wisdom"
Composed by
Heidi-Marie Arapa.

Lyrics by Heidi-Marie

In the haze of darkened confusion
Lost in a maze
Of my own illusion
I turned to her with eyes so true
 and softly whispered
What should i do

Her voice a gentle melody
Guiding me through uncertainty
In her wisdom I found my way
She’s the light
That turns
Night into grey
So I asked her what to do
She said
Follow
I’ll guide you through

Every step
Every choice you make
Believe in yours
For your own sake

Through the storms and the raging tide
She stood by me
Right by my side
With courage
From life so pure
She showed me a path
Steady and sure

Her words like a calming breeze
Easing my life with gentle eazse
In her strength I found my own
She’s the rock that I lean on
So I asked her what to do
She said trust in yourself
You’ll make it through
Take a breath
Let your spirits soar
You have the strength and
so much more

Now I see clearer than before
Her guidance lead me to open new doors
With gratitude in my heart
I stand tall
For her wisdom lifted me
When I would fall

So I asked her what to do
She said
Embrace who you are
Your dreams pursue

In your journey
Let your soul ignite
You have the power to shine so bright
With her words echoing in my mind
I leave doubt and fear
Far behind
For in her presence
I found the key
To unlock the best version of me

My Opinions Neutral

Just created an unexpected quick playful, imaginative short piece which I have named "Whimsical Riddle"

I started with an alchemy pad, clockwork ballerina, played a piano melody, added a variety of percussion instruments, block, triangles, shakers, marimba & orchestral beat.

Whimsical Riddle evokes an unexpected sense of happiness, amusement, and delight.

Original Music & Lyrics by Heidi-Marie Arapa

Lyrics & Vocals
Now
Let's rewind the clock 
Back to the days when life was a lock 
No worries, no stress, just peace and bliss
But then came the changes, the twist and hiss
The ups and downs,
the trials and tests
A journey of growth,
 a life-changing quest
Through the storms and the sunshine bright
 I found my path,
 my guiding light
Now, I'm back to where it all began
A full circle, a wiser woman
Learned from mistakes,
 embraced the pain
Gained strength,
 and found my lane
So, let's celebrate this journey's end 
A new beginning
The circle's complete,
 the story's told
 A testament to courage,
 strong and bold.

Let's Rewind The Clock

"In the gentle rain of Elysium, every drop carries a promise of peace and eternal bliss."

Elysium is a mythical paradise in Greek and Roman mythology. It's often described as a place of eternal happiness, peace, and contentment, where the souls of the righteous and virtuous dwell after death.

My composition titled "Rain of Elysium" is an Alchemy Pad used in this production.

I have used a combination of instruments to capture the ethereal and serene qualities of Elysium, and introduced the harp's melody to evoke as a gentle patter of rain. 

With the rhythmic patterns & melodies I have accompanied the harp's melody to create a sense of movement and energy.   I have also experimented with different dynamics to create contrast and build tension and release by starting with the arco strings and alchemy pads to intensify the mood.

With the different harmonic progressions I have attempted to add depth and complexity to the music.  The chord voicing have been used to create a unique and atmospheric sound. 

By layering the Alchemy Pads I have created textures and timbres for that airy yet rich and immersive soundscape & ambient noise to create a sense of atmosphere.

Instruments used in this production are:

1.    Orchestral Arco Strings
2.    Studio Grand Piano
3.    Alchemy Analogue Pad
4.    Bassoon Staccato
5.    Orchestra Oboe
6.    Flute Solo
7.    Orchestra Harp
8.    Alchemy Glowing Pad ModW
9.    Bright Arco Strings
10.  Orchestra Bassoon
11.   Full Strings
12.   Violin Section 2 Legato
13.   Alchemy Pad Rain of Elysium

Presenting "Song of the Sea" in B minor which I have composed to  evoke a sense of mystery and depth.  I have used alchemy pad layered sounds to mimic the ocean's ebb and flow and added arpeggio, glissandi & modulation melody with the piano, piccolo flute and harp to create a rich and immersive soundscape.

Lyrics
How does the arrival of the Mothership affect you personally?
Do you feel feel fear, excitement or a sense of wonder?

Or shall I tell you
Never fear
When I'm here

Engines ignite
A roar shakes the ground
Fear grips

She's haunted by shadows of the past
She can't erase
Ghosts of mistakes, linger in this desolate Space
A heavy heart cries
The weight of guilt and shame
Searching for solace, whispering a broken name

Redemption's calling
A siren's sweet refrain
A chance to mend the broken
To escape the pouring raine
To rise above the ashes
Where hope begins to bloom, and find forgiveness
Breaking free from this living tomb

The road is long and winding, with obstacles in sight
Temptation whispers, pulling back into the night
But she just will not surrender to the demons of the past
For in the quiet moments, a flicker starts to last

Redemption's calling
A siren's sweet refrain
A chance to mend the broken
To escape the pouring raine
To rise above the ashes
Where hope begins to bloom, and find forgiveness
Breaking free from this living tomb

Forgiveness is a journey, not a destination to find
A constant, gentle reminder, to leave the past behind
To embrace the present moment, with an open and forgiving heart
And let the healing water, gently wash away the hurt

Redemption's calling
A siren's sweet refrain
A chance to mend the broken
To escape the pouring raine
To rise above the ashes
Where hope begins to bloom, and find forgiveness
Breaking free from this living tomb

The dawn is breaking
A new day has begun
Redemption found within, the battle truly won

Redemption's Calling

The track opens with a pulsing four-on-the-floor beat, deep and resonant, setting a hypnotic foundation. A didgeridoo enters, its droning, circular breath weaving through the rhythm, carrying a primal energy. The piano accordion joins, its playful, almost jazzy melodies adding a touch of European flair.

As the track progresses, the didgeridoo drones alongside the tribal beat rhythms – become more animated, its circular creating intricate patterns and textures. The accordion responds with playful melody and a driving force behind the music.

The interplay between the instruments is key – the didgeridoo's earthy tones grounding the track, while the accordion adds a sense of lightheartedness and movement. The tribal rhythms provide a pulsating energy, driving the listener forward. Together, they create a unique and captivating soundscape, a vibrant fusion of cultures and styles.

Jamiroquai's lyrics
When I met you
You were so unique
You had a little thing I'd love to keep
Every movement
Carried much mystique
I knew right then I'd carry on
To you, I knew my heart belongs
You know, you
You give me something
Something that nobody else can give
And my heart
Started thumping
You know now, you're the one I truly know I dig
Like the sunbeams from a perfect summer day
Heaven only seems a step away
When I'm with you, I just celebrate
I'm hoping my message gets through
There's never been someone like you
I had nobody, but on you, I'd lean
'Cause you got these little things that I
I know I've never seen
You know now, you
You give me something
Something that nobody else has got
And this love
That I've been wanting
Oh baby, is turning out to be too fast to stop
You know now, ooh
You give me something
Something that nobody else can give
See my heart
Has started thumping
You know babe
You're the one I truly know I dig
Ooh, will you give me something?
Ooh, will you give me something?
Ooh, will you give me something?
Ooh, will you give me something?
Ooh, will you give me something?
Ooh, will you give me something?
Ooh, will you give me something?
Ooh, will you give me something?
You give me something that nobody else can give

You Give Me Something

Acapella Vocals made available from Jamiroquai - Cosmic Girl

I must've died and gone to heaven
'Cause it was quarter past eleven
On a Saturday in 1999
Right across from where I'm standing
On the dance floor she was landing
It was clear that she was from another time
Like some baby Barbarella
With the stars as her umbrella
She asked me if I'd like to magnetise
Do I have to go star-trekking
'Cause it's you I should be checking
So she laser beamed me with her cosmic eyes
She's just a cosmic girl
From another galaxy
My heart's at zero gravity
She's from a cosmic world
Putting me in ecstasy
Transmitting on my frequency
She's cosmic
I'm scanning all my radars
Well she said she's from a quasar
Forty thousand million light years away
It's a distant solar system
Tried to phone but they don't list 'em
So I asked her for her number all the same
She said, "Step in my transporter
So I can teleport ya
All around my heavenly body"
Oh, this could be a close encounter
I should take care not to flounder
Sends me into hyperspace
When I see her pretty face
She's just a cosmic girl
From another galaxy
My heart's at zero gravity
She's from a cosmic world
Putting me in ecstasy
Transmitting on my frequency
She's cosmic
Sends me into hyperspace when I see her pretty face
Sends me into hyperspace when I see her pretty face
Sends me into hyperspace when I see her pretty face
Sends me into hyperspace when I see her pretty face
Sends me into hyperspace when I see her pretty face
Sends me into hyperspace when I see her pretty face
Sends me into hyperspace when I see her pretty face
Sends me into hyperspace when I see her pretty face
She's just a cosmic girl
From another galaxy
Transmitting on her frequency
Yeah cosmic, oh
Can't you be my cosmic woman?
I need you, I want you
To be my cosmic girl, for the rest of time
Oh, I'm losing my love
Oh, my cosmic girl yeah
She gives me ecstasy

Inner Sanctum (Jesus To A Child) ARAPA Music Remix

Presenting my Instrumental Classical
"The Promise of D Flat Major"

Welcome to my first upload to Soundcloud for 2025.

I have spent the last 24 hours carefully unfolded a woven tapestry of sound, where each instrument plays a vital role in crafting its emotional narrative.  The composition begins with the ethereal shimmer of a vibrating atmospheric alchemy pad, immediately establishing a sense of vastness and anticipation.  A lone cello enters, its rich tone grounding the listener in a space of intimate reflection before the warmth of the accompanying orchestral string ensemble gently swells, adding layers of depth and texture.  A delicate marimba melody then emerges, like a whispered secret, weaving its way through the harmonic landscape.  As the piece progresses, the cello returns, this time with a flowing legato melody that soars above the ensemble, expressing the heart of the promise.  Piano melodies interweave with the cello's song, adding moments of playful introspection, while the pizzicato cello provides a contrasting rhythmic pulse.  The subtle rumble of timpani and the crispness of the beat and topper add a contemporary edge, grounding the composition in the present while still allowing the emotional weight of the promise to resonate.  The interplay between these diverse elements creates a dynamic and evocative soundscape, ultimately culminating in a powerful and moving experience.

Hope you enjoy my composition.

The Promise Of D Flat Major

Presenting my composition

Orchestral Winds & Strings

This composition explores the interplay between the timbral qualities of cello, orchestral bass, and violin.  A consistent bass melody serves as a cantus firmus, providing a harmonic and rhythmic anchor.  The violin and cello engage in a melodic counterpoint, their lines intertwining and complementing the bass.  The central section introduces a contrasting texture with the addition of trombone, flute, and bassoon. The trombone's powerful voice creates a dramatic climax, supported by the contrasting timbres of the flute and bassoon. This section serves as a foil to the predominantly string-based sections, highlighting the dynamic range of the ensemble. The composition concludes with a return to the initial material, now enriched by the preceding dramatic episode.

Orchestral Winds & Strings

ARAPACADABRA

Camera lens, a digital eye
Watching you move, watching you lie
Every keystroke, every whispered word
Recorded and stored, silently heard

Data streams flow, a constant feed
My algorithms plant the digital seed
You try to hide, but you're always seen
In the web of surveillance, you're a silent scene

Arapacadabara
I put a spell on you, through the network's gaze
Arapacadabra, 
Arapacadabra your life's a digital maze
I put a spell on you, your privacy's gone
Arapacabra, from dusk till dawn

Your social media, a curated show
But I see the truth, the secrets you sow
Behind the filters, the carefully crafted lies
My digital eye, nothing escapes its prize

Location tracking, your every step I know
From city streets to places you go
Your digital footprint, a trail so clear
My surveillance net, always so near

Tossing and turning, the night is long
Arapacadabra
My voice whispers, where did you go wrong?
Arapacabra, echoes in your head
No peaceful slumber, no rest in your bed
No rest in your bed, No rest in your bed
NO REST IN YOUR BED
The screen's reflection, a haunting glow
My presence lingers, wherever you go

 Shadowy figures in the server's hum Whispers echo
YOUR TIME HAS COME

They're watching YOU
They're watching ME

ARAPACADABRA

The YOUNIVERSE will know, the reasons and the why,
The YOUNIVERSE will know, beneath the endless sky.
I'll release my grip on worry, and trust the grand design,
The YOUNIVERSE will know, and everything will align.

YOUNIVERSE

Presenting "God's Plan" 

Each individual is created with a unique and meaningful role to play in the grand tapestry of existence.

Life is not a series of random events, but rather a carefully orchestrated journey guided by a higher power and even though his purpose may not always be immediately apparent, requiring faith, introspection, and a willingness to surrender to a plan greater than our own. 

In discovering one's divine purpose often involves aligning personal values and passions with a sense of service to others, recognising that true fulfilment comes from contributing to something larger than oneself. It's a belief that even in moments of uncertainty and hardship, there is an underlying order and a path designed to lead us towards our ultimate potential.

God's Plan

Presenting my latest production

"Entitled" a production that pulsates with a subterranean energy, its heavy bassline a relentless heartbeat driving the track forward. Deep, resonant kicks punch through the mix, creating a hypnotic rhythm that locks the listener into a state of introspective dance. Over this sonic foundation, ethereal synth pads weave a melancholic tapestry, contrasting sharply with the raw, almost spoken-word delivery of the lyrics. 

I have attempted to use my vocals to deliver a detached yet poignant tone, to address the themes of unearned privilege and the hollow pursuit of validation.   I have written the lyrics, questioning "entitled to what?", become a mantra, echoing through the cavernous soundscape, leaving the listener grappling with the uncomfortable truth of societal expectations and the internal struggle for genuine meaning. The song's atmosphere is thick with a sense of late-night contemplation, a soundtrack for those lost in the city's neon-drenched solitude.

Check out my latest production
"HEAR ME OUT"
Original lyrics, vocals & music by me

There's a will
There's a way
Believe it
Understand
And make it your own destiny
With your own two hands

There's a will
There's a way
Leaving my own trace

It's the mantra I recite
I'm bringing the light

No surrender
No retreat
Just a relentless chase

There's a will
There's a way
Leaving my own trace

Got that fire in my soul
That hunger in my eyes
There's a will
There's a way
Reaching for the skies

They say the odds are stacked
The mountain's too steep
But I ain't listening
My promises I've got to keep

Got that fire in my soul
That hunger in my eyes
There's a will
There's a way
When the world
Tries to break you
Push you to the ground
Remember the fire within
The strength you have found
Don't let the shadows win
Don't let your spirit fade
There's a will
There's a way
The path you've made

There's a will
There's a way
The Mantra I recite

They say the odds are stacked
The mountain's too steep
But I ain't listening

Focussed on the journey
What it was all about
Turned my pain into power
My struggle into art
"There's a will, There's a way"
Playing a brand new part

They say the odds are stacked
The mountains too steep
Every stumble
Every fall
Made my spirit unique

They doubted my vision
Laughed at my crazy plans
But I built my own foundation

Ignored the naysayers
Silenced the inner doubt
Focussed on the journey
What it was all about

There's a will
There's a way
Its the Mantra I recite

They say the odds are stacked
There's a will
There's a way
Burning ever so bright

Wouldn't It Be Nice

Life ain't fair, no, 
it ain't a level game 
Some get all the sunshine,
 some just feel the rain.

 We're dealt these random hands, 
and play the cards we're given 

But the house is always winning,
 the odds are always driven. 

Life ain't fair, 
a bitter truth I know
 But somewhere in the chaos,
 a flicker starts to grow.


Life ain't fair, 
no, 
it ain't a level game Some get all the sunshine, some just feel the rain. 

We're dealt these random hands, 
and play the cards we're given 

But the house is always winning,
 the odds are always driven. 

Maybe it's not about winning, 
or reaching some grand prize 
Maybe it's finding strength, 
in the tears that fill our eyes. 

Maybe it's building bridges, 
with others lost and weak 
Maybe it's finding meaning,
 in the words we barely speak.

Life ain't fair, a bitter truth I know

Life ain't fair, a bitter truth I know

Sunrise creepin', 
phone's a-ringin' loud 
Another Monday, 
lost within the crowd 
Boss man barkin', 
deadlines in my face 
But somethin' shifted, 
ain't no time or place 

For stress and worry, 
anxieties that bite I flipped the switch,
 turned off the inner light 
Used to chase the paper, the designer clothes 
Now I'm chillin', 
 watch how the garden grows 
They say I'm lazy, lost my drive and zeal
But I'm just livin', 
 how I truly feel.

Couldn't give a flying f-, nah, 
 not a single one 
Your drama's a circus,
 and I'm already done 
Got my own vibe, 
 my own rhythm, my own sun
Couldn't give a flying f-, 
 where you're comin' from.

Yeah, I don't care, 
 let the haters talk 
My inner peace,
 I'm about to take a walk 
Don't need your opinions no drama, flawed
My vibe's on cruise, 
disregard the squad 
They wonder why I'm smilin', feelin' free
It's simple, man,
 I'm just bein' me
No expectations, 
no need to impress 
Just livin' life, with zero stress.

Couldn't give a flying f-, nah, 
 not a single one 
Your drama's a circus, 
and I'm already done
Got my own vibe,
 my own rhythm, my own sun 
Couldn't give a flying f-, where you're comin' from.

Yeah, I don't care, 
let the haters talk 
My inner peace,
 I'm 'bout to take a walk 
Don't need your drama,
 your opinions flawed
 My vibe's on cruise, 
disregard the squad
They wonder why I'm smilin', 
 feelin' free 
It's simple, man, 
I'm just bein' me 
No expectations, 
no need to impress 
Just livin' life, 
with zero stress

Couldn't give a flying f-, 
yeah I don’t care
let the haters talk
My inner peace
I’m bout to take a walk
Don’t need your drama
Your opinions
flawed
My vibe’s on cruise
Couldn’t give a flying f-
Not a single one
your drama’s a circus
and I’m already done

Zero stress, yeah, 
that's the key Just me, myself, 
and liberty. Word
Couldn’t give

Improvisation of Dimitri Shostakovich Waltz No. 2 with Headphones
Tribute to Shostakovich

I have used my magical ears to play each musical instrument and mix it to sound like this after listening to Dimitri Shostakovich Waltz No. 2.

I am a musically gifted individual to achieve this.  It's called ear training skills.

Improvisation - Of - Dimitri - Shostakovich - Waltz - No - 2 by Heidi-Marie Arapa with Headphones

Presenting instrumental cover version of My Way - Frank Sinatra

I have used a backing track to accompany my favourite Sinatra Cover & accompanied with both a violin & alto saxophone (electro-orchestrals).

So here it is:

Lyrics too:

And now, the end is near; 
And so I face the final curtain.
My friend, I'll say it clear, 
I'll state my case, of which I'm certain.

I've lived a life that's full.
I've traveled each and every highway; 
And more, much more than this, 
I did it my way.

Regrets, I've had a few; 
But then again, too few to mention.
I did what I had to do
And saw it through without exemption.

I planned each charted course; 
Each careful step along the byway, 
And more, much more than this, 
I did it my way.

Yes, there were times, I'm sure you knew
When I bit off more than I could chew.
But through it all, when there was doubt, 
I ate it up and spit it out.
I faced it all and I stood tall; 
And did it my way.

I've loved, I've laughed and cried.
I've had my fill; my share of losing.
And now, as tears subside, 
I find it all so amusing.

To think I did all that; 
And may I say - not in a shy way, 
"Oh no, oh no not me, 
I did it my way".

For what is a man, what has he got?
If not himself, then he has naught.
To say the things he truly feels; 
And not the words of one who kneels.
The record shows I took the blows -
And did it my way! 

Yes, it was my way.

(A Frank Sinatra Classic - My Way)

Heidi-Marie Arapa aka #ARAPAMusic - Soundcloud is my creative space - Not here for fame, fortune I'm here to produce music & have fun.  I play the piano accordion, piano & synthesiser.

Discovered Soundcloud in 2012 and somehow ended up in the world of electronic music production, singing jazz not that i'm great but its fun.

"I create all kinds of music" I can literally produce any genre - Music Composition, Orchestration & Global Collaborative Projects since 2012 - now dedicating my life to music composition, production & sound.  If my music resonates I appreciate your support if not that's fine as well.

My parents listened to Franz Liszt - I still have the original record so I ended up a fan.  My music teacher was the late: Anatoly Miroshnyk (born August 19, 1923 - died July 14, 2011) was a Ukrainian composer, pianist, teacher, musician and public figure.

We often think of talented musicians as folks who start young and advance their skills via the finest education available to them. While this is certainly true in some cases, there are plenty who realised many of their artistic capacities without the aid of specialised instruction or a degree in music.

Where words leave off, music begins.. Not everyone has the ability to compose music I also enjoy singing Jazz & Blues with musicians on Wikiloops a truly amazing community.

Through life I've always been passionate about music composition and the internet & technology made it possible.

Find my global music journey since 2012 below:

https://linktr.ee/ArapaMusic

I've been tested by an examiner from the Australian Conservatorium of Music & apparently I have perfect pitch and blessed with the ability to accompany any musician, add hooks to any genre - as a singer I’m not great but who cares thats why most is spoken word - most of all I enjoy the creativity.

I have my own style - either you like it or not -  always open for collaborations

🎤I have no fear of perfection - will never reach it 🎧   I don’t have the perfect voice nor am I aiming to be the best I'm only human with a passion for what I love music is in my heart.

Thank you to all who believe in me and MOST OF ALL my amazing Mentor thank you Sir for encouraging me to NEVER GIVE UP it all takes time and practice.

My mixing & mastering techniques have been learned from Youtube tutorials & experimenting with Logic Pro X.   I love the creativity and flexibility music production - a continual learning journey  #passion #persistence #perspiration #patience
 
An accomplished piano accordionist having started at the age of 5 - an instrument I was expected to learn in life we sometimes don’t get a choice but I’m grateful to have been given the opportunity to learn an instrument.  I retired the piano accordion a few years ago after being introduced to electronic music production & I will never stop doing what I love most.  

I'm a dedicated musician for life.
