Lyrik: (The English translation is below the German lyrics)

Was geschieht, wenn ich erwache nach endlosem Schlaf,
Und mein Blick im Spiegel auf eine Fremde trifft?
In mir hallt die Frage: "Wer bin ich? Wer bin ich nur?"
Bin ich noch ich selbst, oder in Stücke zersprungen?

Im silbernen Glas, eine Unbekannte blickt zurück
Mit Augen so tief wie ein vergessener Traum
Und dann? Was folgt auf diesen Moment?

Risse durchziehen das Spiegelbild
Wer bin ich wirklich, wenn kein Blick mich streift?
Splitter meines Ichs, verstreut im Raum
Such' nach Wahrheit in jedem Spiegeltraum

Sprich, Gestalt im Glas, erzähl deine Geschichte
Bist du erfüllt? Erschöpft? In Frieden? Voll Reue?
Wie Nebel im Wind, so wirbeln die Gedanken
Ich lebe, ich atme, ich komme und gehe

Zwischen Welten gefangen, halb hier und halb dort
Such' ich mich selbst an jedem stillen Ort

In den Scherben des Spiegels
Seh' ich Facetten, einst unerkannt
Jedes Bruchstück ein Teil meiner Seele
Zusammengefügt von eigener Hand

Aus Splittern entsteht ein neues Bild
Ein Mosaik meines wahren Ichs!

Nun höre ich zu, Gestalt im Spiegel
Deine Geschichte von Kampf und Triumph erklingt
Durch Nebel und Sturm, durch Zweifel und Fragen
Hab' ich mich selbst neu entdeckt und erkannt

In diesem Moment, zwischen Schatten und Licht
Seh' ich klar: Ich bin mehr als mein Spiegelbild!

Mehr als nur Reflexion, ich bin lebendig

English translation:
What happens when I wake up after an endless sleep,
And my gaze meets a stranger in the mirror?
The question echoes inside me: "Who am I? Who am I?"
Am I still myself, or have I shattered into pieces?

In the silver glass, a stranger looks back
With eyes as deep as a forgotten dream
And then? What follows this moment?

Cracks run through the reflection
Who am I really when no gaze touches me?
Splinters of my self, scattered in space
Search for truth in every mirror dream

Speak, figure in the glass, tell your story
Are you fulfilled? Exhausted? At peace? Full of remorse?
Like mist in the wind, thoughts swirl
I live, I breathe, I come and go

Caught between worlds, half here and half there
I look for myself in every quiet place

In the shards of the mirror
I see facets, once unrecognized
Each fragment a part of my soul
Pieced together by my own hand

From splinters a new picture emerges
A mosaic of my true self!

Now I listen, figure in the mirror
Your story of struggle and triumph resounds
Through fog and storm, through doubts and questions
I have rediscovered and recognized myself

In this moment, between shadow and light
I see clearly: I am more than my reflection!

More than just a reflection, I am alive

Spiegel meiner Seele

This is another track for the Children of Memory project. The Witch isn't really a witch... it's Avrana Kern, the ancient god-like fusion of AI and human. But, to Liff, she's a witch. 
All guitar parts were played on a Deusenberg Paloma.

Lyrics

Justice is dealt with music
Preence is served ... merged muses
Kilo's of tones and notes and groans
Oratorical moans.... Souls give loans
Pressured to perfection
Pleasure in connection

Onward together
New muse. New clever

Freedom found in Earthly blue
Reasoned rounds from me and you
Answers ground... music mortor and pestle
New big hearts making one big vessel
Cured, we're pured. It's nerd style and I'm proud
Evolution gives us the fittest loud

Onward together
New muse. New clever

Earth likes what you do
Accepts who you are
Rallies around your good
Touts Marseille as a heart
Humoured Irish / French art

Onward together
New muse. New clever

The Heart of France

New Year, New Vibes

Latest Updates: 
From 1st June 2025, celebrating 10 years of KORG KRONOS music with lots of brand new music showcasing the wonders of this iconic workstation in all it's glory. Also as a nod to the release of the KRONOS 3, which will take KORG into the next generation.
All my albums in full quality are available on Bandcamp, please check out the link below.
Have recently taken a short holiday to recharge my batteries and top up my creative juices. Thank you to all my followers for your continued support and encouragement, means the world to me.
Over 10K minutes uploaded, over 1500 tracks - am sure there is something in there for everybody to enjoy. I love making music. Hope it matters to you.
Am posting some Jarre sounding pieces as homage to my lifelong hero of electronic music, using some of the sounds and instruments he has used along the way. Jar of Jarre is my collection of memorable sounds which have changed the way we appreciate modern electro.
Keep an eye out for my new collection of 2024 Remastered best of tracks, coming soon.
New year, new start. Back on the search for good music and inspiration. Will be featuring a lot of my older work remastered this year, seems like a long time since I began my composing journey back in 2000.
Happy New Year to all my followers, May 2025 be filled with musical magic. 
Thank you for all your kind comments and support throughout 2024 I do appreciate it. Stay safe and love each other.
All my remastered best tunes from 2015 to 2023 are now available to buy on Bandcamp.
Am back to making regular music now but sorry no Christmas songs this year. This time of year is very hard for me as it is when my father became very ill and died in the new year 2010. I still miss him very much but hope he would be proud of my musical journey, he is my number one inspiration.
Just a quick personal note on AI and music. I think it is not a good thing for the creative side of music and a lot of it comes without feelings or soul. Creativity is a gift, and should be greatly valued, cherished and nurtured. Music is what makes us human and can never be replaced by a computer.
Finished remastering up to and including 2023 now. Has been a mammoth task but well worth the effort. Next year I shall be working on a remastered series of my pre KORG days 2000 to 2008, in 8 volumes, as well as celebrating in style my 10 years of KRONOS magic, can't wait for 2025.
Have now amassed over 1000 tracks on SC (that's over 8000 minutes of music) and it has been a blast sharing them with you all. Next year 2025, marks the 10th anniversary of the start of my KORG journey.
Am currently putting together a remastered Anthology collection of all my best tracks from 2015 onwards. 2015 consists of a 3 volume set (Now available on Bandcamp). 2016 consists of a 4 volume set. (Also available on Bandcamp). 2017 consists of a 4 volume set. (Available on Bandcamp) 2018 consists of a 4 volume set. (Also available on Bandcamp). 2019 consists of a 4 volume set. (Now available on Bandcamp). 2020 consists of a 3 volume set (now available on Bandcamp).
If you would like to listen to more of Magician, especially retro older tracks please checkout Bandcamp (see link below).
Have recently been rediscovering some of my older music pre KORG days and remastering for uploading to my cloud. Hope you like. Seems such a long time ago now.
I have been lucky to have music in my life, and now the time to explore how it can affect other people. I have discovered many new talented artists on SC and am happy to encourage and support their work; from small beginnings come great things. Please be inspired to be your best, inspire others too, encourage those who lack the inner courage to move forward, and together we can make music make a difference in all our lives.
Am spending a lot more time on my music now since retiring from work in July 2020. Always learning new techniques and honing my craft. Am comfortable now with all chord sequences throughout the scales and loving improvising with the help of my mighty KORG still. Am still trying to give my full support and encouragement to all SC users and some latest (you know who you are), are developing nicely. Be good to one another, be gracious to others, leave your ego out of your life and above all else remember there is always someone worse off than yourself. 
Please be kind to each other, to be happy with our lot without jealousy or greed; to give without asking the cost; to love as if there is no tomorrow; to share and inspire others who may be less fortunate than us; most of all to enjoy life for the joy of living, for we know not what the morning brings - stay safe my friends, be strong and always stay positive; remember life changes - DON'T let it change you!!  
Music is my life - has helped me through many dark places, is a big part of who I am. I put my heart and soul into every single piece of music I produce. I have found many wonderful friends on SC and many exciting talented people.  Been writing and producing music now for 40 years plus. Specialised in electronic based orchestral compositions. I have created my own genre which I call 'electrorchestration'.
Favourite artists/bands include Gary Numan, Little Boots, Jools Holland, Eno, Edgar Froese (1944-2015), Jordan Rudess, Kebu, Madis, Keith Emerson (1944-2016), Rick Wakeman, Richard Wright (1943-2008), Pink Floyd, Tangerine Dream, Vangelis, Jean Michel Jarre, M83, Public Service Broadcasting, Dream Theater, ELP, Yes and Mystery to name but a few.
