Lately I've been soaking up dub/neo-dub music thanks to @jonauversen and somehow it had to come out of me ;) A lot help with it I've received from @spitfire-labs and their amazing free LABS library Trumpet Fields which was the main impulse that this song was created at all.

WOW, Thank You so much! I didn't expect this song to reach 1000 plays. ❤️

Happy New Year Everyone! 
It's been a bit of a crazy and dark year, but...
It's a joy of being here listening to Your music and share with You mine for the entire 2023. I'm looking forward for Your next Year music. 

This is my newest, one evening project. I'm posting this as an experiment ;) This is me as I am, playing live in one take, then edited it a bit... It was a total improvisation... The piece developed as I played it. Apart from the background music, nothing was thought out. What came out is what came out ;)
It was a test of my new keyboard Nektar Impact GXP61 which I got for Christmas from my mom. Sorry, my left hand really feels like wood ;) But now I have a reason to make it move and play... And this was pure fun to make :) 

Thank You kindly for listening and I hope you like it at least a little bit!

This is small project in which I've used only 3 instruments: Spitfire Originals Epic Brass + Woodwinds - Woodwinds Live, Originals Media Tool Kit - Piano and VSL Free Celestial Strings.

On the photo is my "gear": old - on my desk and new - on the drawer shelf :)

In ancient times, There was a Dwarven blacksmith.  The iron in his region was rather poor and despite the skill he lavished upon his blades, they would always break.  One day a mysterious stranger, robed in black, approached him at his forge and offered to enchant the blacksmith's forge that blades made in it's fire would never perish.  The blacksmith was suspicious, and asked what the stranger wanted in return.  "The deed itself is my payment," said the stranger.  The smith opened his mouth to reject the offer, when his gaze fell upon one of his broken swords.  Hesitantly the dwarf agreed.  

The stranger pointed at the dwarf's forge and began an incantation.  Clouds gathered and snow began to fly in the valley, despite the summer.  The ground shook and spikes of obsidian shot up around the forge.  The fire, which had been a warm red, became an arcane violet.  "It is done," said the stranger to the horrified dwarf.  The smith cautiously took up his tools as the stranger watched, and forged a blade.  When the sword was completed, the dwarf tested the blade against the obsidian.  As he struck the rock, the blade sheared in two.  Outraged, the dwarf confronted the mysterious black robed man.  "Strike the anvil with this broken blade," said the man, and the dwarf, full of suspicion, complied.  The sheared blade clove the anvil in two and the blade took no hurt.  

All blades fired in this forge would break soon after forging, but the shards would never rust, nor dull, nor break.  Much mischief was done with those blades.  The forge came to be known as The Splinter-Forge.  From then on, the snow never departed that region and the violet fire never cooled.

The Splinter Forge

C / T / F / O
Release Date: 07-01-2019
© 2019 Keith Richie

C / T / F / O represents a bold evolution in my sound—ushering in what I consider a new phase: Aggressive Ambient. While still grounded in the atmospheric textures that define my work, this album introduces grittier edges, distorted basslines, and a driving pulse that adds urgency and weight to each track.

The journey begins with Maestoso, featuring searing guitar leads by Ray Clay. What starts as a subdued ambient-techno fusion gradually builds into a cinematic, guitar-forward anthem—setting the tone for the dynamic contrasts that follow. Throughout the album, you'll encounter industrial rhythms, shadowy darkwave undercurrents, and moments of melodic tension that refuse to stay in one place.

Familiar elements of my previous work remain present, but they’ve been recontextualized with new intent. Tracks like Muzika Automatika—a clear homage to Kraftwerk—blend retro-futuristic textures with robotic precision and raw mechanical energy.

C / T / F / O is unpredictable and unapologetically experimental. It’s ambient music with a backbone, designed for those who want their soundscapes immersive and invigorating. The experience concludes with the title track—a final cathartic release, and a reminder to… well, C / T / F / O.

Latest Updates: 
Have been remastering some of my 'unloved' tracks from the past here on SC - music which has not received as many plays as I would have expected. Maybe 2nd time around your might like it.
The 2025 remastered tracks are being readied for my best of 2025 album in 2026, available January 2026.
I do not use AI on any of my work, just blood sweat and tears, and a lot of emotion/feelings. The reason I have so much music on SC is that I love making music and it is my life. Also I love to share my work with you all, please enjoy.
Have recently discovered some old tracks which I did back in 2009 but have never been previously released or worked on further. Decided to let them see the light of day, unedited and unpolished. Hope you enjoy them and can see where my humble beginnings started.
Also new for Autumn 2025, a collection of classical piano pieces which I composed back in 2010, in memory of my late father who inspired me to play the keyboard in the first place. Under the title of Magician In Private, hope you will allow my indulgence into a special world of just simple piano, no frills.
Please checkout my vast collection of playlists. All my best music is on there in one place. Is free to listen to or sleep with.
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).

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.
