Soul Searching

80_Im Kölner Dom (Grandbrothers Tribute) - released on 15 May 2025 (only on Soundcloud)

TV channel ARTE animated the "Grandbrothers" for a special concert on 26 August 2022 on the occasion of the 700th anniversary of the consecration of the Cologne Cathedral choir. Discovered in the media library, I was fascinated & inspired to dedicate a track to them! #ambient #modernclassic #trance #onlymelodies #nobeats #liverecording

Im Kölner Dom (Grandbrothers Tribute)

In the late 1800s, the word rhapsody was translated into Japanese as "mad music." In Buddhism, "mad" means "funny" or "fantasy." It's thanks to the hard work of translators that Japanese people can understand the meaning of that famous song, Bohemian Rhapsody.

Rhapsody in Osaka（323）

This piece can be seen as a continuation of the "Elephant Serenade" : https://soundcloud.com/davidflmusic/elephant-serenade

I did not use AI support at any stage in the creation of this piece.

When I started composing this piece in December, after buying Spitfire Originals Intimate Strings on sale, I had these thoughts: If this is what the future is going to look like, I didn't sign up for it. Although in my youth I read and watched a lot of SF films presenting both utopia and dystopia, I always preferred the bright future. However, what I see on TV, on YouTube and outside my window is starting to resemble the latter...

Despite this, I hope you like the piece at least a little bit

To make this track I used:
Ableton Live 11 Standard
Spitfire Originals Intimate Strings
Spitfire Originals Cinematic Percussion
Spitfire BBC SO Discover (free)
Soundpaint 1928 Vintage Steinway Grand Piano (free)
Arturia Augmented Voices
Arturia Augmented Mallets Play (free)
Strezov Sampling Afflatus Minimalist Violins Legato Freebie (free for Kontakt Player)

Beside plug-ins I used 3 samples:
Two from BBC Sample Library:
- Rioting - Riot in Belfast - with breaking glass, rubber bullets, distant cries and chants
- Chatter - Club atmosphere, busy mixed chatter at mealtime (mid-distance) - 1981 (1C25,reprocessed)
and from Freesample.org
Real War - Marines in Firefight Gunbattle (Raw audio) by qubodup

Expedition Journal

10th June
The hieroglyphs are faded and unclear, but the riddle might be solved.

15th June 
A secret entrance, long buried in the sands of time, finally a way inside the Sphinx.

16th June
We hear the sound of an ancient mechanism and an opening appears. Stepping inside, we discover chambers of wondrous size and form, but all are empty. Our flickering torches show air still moves inside this wonder of the ancient world.
 
Suddenly we find ourselves in danger and running for a possible exit. A mechanical sound of rock sliding over ancient rock. We barely escape with our lives.

17th June
Our entrance and hurried exit are both now fully sealed from intruders. There will be no second chance.

Flying away in the helicopter, the enigmatic Sphinx looks on.

As it always has.

As it always will.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Dave had worked hard to create a great template of ideas in a fully realised track. Whilst thinking of the title the idea was formed of making it an almost 'Indiana Jones type adventure' with explorers finding a secret way into the Sphinx. This resulted in the journal entry above to set the scene. 

I spent a fair bit of time getting the Phrygian Dominant scale under my fingers for the electric guitar work to contrast Dave's sinuous, winding synth lines.

The end result hopefully does lead the listener on the adventure, with a grand start, a way inside, wonder, peril then danger, before a hurried escape by a different exit as the Sphinx defeats the intruders and seals all the doorways forever. Finally a tiny reprise featuring a departing helicopter closes out the track.
