Guaraná suite, part 2

Der Hamburger Hafen erscheint manchmal wie ein mystischer Ort wenn die Morgendämmerung einsetzt und der tagsüber so betriebsame Ort wie ein stiller Riese langsam aus seinem Schlaf erwacht. Wenn Nebelschwaden die Hafenkräne zu verhüllen scheinen und diese Ihre Hälse wie Giraffen in den Himmel recken, dann ist es November in Hamburg

The Port of Hamburg sometimes seems like a mystical place when the dawn begins and the place, so busy during daytime slowly wakes up from its sleep like a quiet giant . When clouds of fog seem to cover the port cranes and they stretch their necks into the sky like giraffes then it is November in Hamburg.

On a boiling hot day, I chase the jet-black shadows like petroleum.

Oxymon (2018) Anthology CD2 Track 13

A new composition......... I would describe this as a lament about poverty and poor particularly here in the US the richest country in the world.
Approximately 37.9 million people in poverty. 
Some of the many causes include income, inequality, inflation, unemployment, debt traps and poor education. The majority of adults living in poverty are employed and have at least a high school education.
Here are some solutions to decrease poverty in the US:
1.Create jobs
Businesses and organizations can look for areas where people living in poverty can contribute their skills, even if they don't have higher education or certifications.
2.End hunger
Eating enough healthy food can help people have the energy to work and break the cycle of poverty. The Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) has been effective at reducing poverty and hunger, and in 2021, it served an average of 41.5 million people per month.
3.Paid family leave
Paid leave can increase household income and reduce poverty, especially for low-income single mothers.
4.Raise the minimum wage
Raising the minimum wage can improve economic security for families and reduce poverty.
5.Increase the EITC for childless workers
The Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC) can supplement the incomes of low-earning parents and encourage them to work more.
6.Invest in education
Education is one of the best ways to solve poverty.
7.Access to health care
Ensuring access to medical services can help promote health and minimize inequity
8. Universal Basic Income(UBI)
9. More affordable housing
“How wonderful it is that nobody need wait a single moment before starting to improve the world.”       Anne Frank

Lyrics
In the dark alleyways and crowded streets
Where the forgotten souls silently weep
Beneath the city lights so cold and bright
The poor search for hope in the still of the night

Their faces worn their spirits low
Struggling to survive with nowhere to go
Living day to day without a safety net
 In a world that they can never forget

Oh, the shadows of the forgotten 
Lost in a world so cruel and rotten
Their voices unheard their stories untold
 In a world so heartless and cold

But in the silence a song still remains
Of resilience and strength that hope brings
For in the darkness a light will shine
Guiding the poor to a better time

Let us not turn away
From the struggles of the poor each day
And together let us stand
To lift them up and lend a helping hand

Oh shadows of the forgotten
In your eyes a spark of hope begotten
For in unity and love we will find
A brighter world for all mankind

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.
