I am honored to present this interpretation of my Nocturne in G minor by the pianist and composer Megumi Okamoto. I hope you enjoy her sensitive and expressive artistry on this piece as much as I have. 
Thank you, Megumi!

Nocturne In G Minor interpreted by Megumi Okamoto

Sometimes we can predict the future, whether it be our own or events around us. Is it just pattern recognition? Or is it something deeper and more mysterious?

Inner (Video on description) "Glide" album

Venture Off

This is the first song on which I have used a recording of myself playing the guitar. It turned out pretty good in my opinion. I have used an EBow ‘look-alike’ called the Joyo JGE-01 Infinite Sustainer. Since the release of the Blackwater Park album by Opeth (and on several songs on the Deadwing album of Porcupine Tree) I was captivated by a particular sound that I could not quite identify. After a few years I ‘discovered’ that it was an EBow that was used on the guitar. Since then I always wanted to own such a device to play along an recreate that sound. Now I have finally used a guitar on a song with a similar device like an EBow. I used a VST by Hainbach (Landfill Totems) that I have used on more of my songs. I made some samples using the Landfill Totems VST and used these. I also used one of my go to VST’s by Spitfire Audio called Labs. On this song I have used the recordings of a Ondes Musicales. I cool instrument with a very distinctive sound. The percussive sounds also come from the Labs VST by Spitfire Audio. The song sounds more experimental than my previous work. According to some feedback it sounds a bit like The Gathering (one of my favorite bands) although that wasn’t my intention. You cannot escape influences by other artists so if it is (unintentionally and subconsciously) inspired by them; so be it. I like how this one turned out. I am curious what others think about this one. The title is an anagram by the way. It is an anagram of the most simple things imaginable and I will leave it to you to figure it out. Seeing and experiencing the world as it is today and still hoping for a better world I liked the ring of it so I chose this as the title.

A Daring Utopian

In Buddhism, the term anattā (Pali: 𑀅𑀦𑀢𑁆𑀢𑀸) or anātman (Sanskrit: अनात्मन्) is the doctrine of "no-self" – that no unchanging, permanent self or essence can be found in any phenomenon.[note 1] While often interpreted as a doctrine denying the existence of a self, anatman is more accurately described as a strategy to attain non-attachment by recognizing everything as impermanent, while staying silent on the ultimate existence of an unchanging essence.

Cruising through the emptiness of interstellar space, the USCSS Foreboding is on its way to LV-426 for a routine supply mission. The ship's computer is about to receive instructions to wake the crew from their hypersleep, as communications with the colony have gone dark. What lies in wait for them upon arrival is anyone's guess.

The Foreboding - Vast Black Void

This first single and second track of my upcoming concept album "Audio Noir", features excerpts from the weird 1934 movie "House Of Mystery". The album tells the story about four friends finding an old gramophone in the attic. This is the part where one evening, they have a seance and place the newly found gramophone as a centerpiece on the table. What happens next, is gone horribly awry. Hope you like the track. Here's "Opening the Gramophone" by The Foreboding.

The Last Autumn

As Ämpers@nd I am producing (largely but not always intentionally) melancholic and dark-sounding ambient and soundscapes. Occasionally I produce chill and relaxing (almost meditative) songs and (experimental) electronic music.
