Super eerie intro. That pic is incredible. Reminds me of Nagorkot in Nepal. Kilometers above the clouds, very far away from the hussle and bustle bubble of modern life. Great track man 👌🏼🔆

2024 Anthology CD5

Sphere

PLEASE READ THIS! THIS IS NOT A PROMOTION!
I'm posting this here as a curiosity and... a sorts of warning. Artificial Intelligence has entered the sphere of music creation. And it hits with enormous power...

This is a song that my wife (she's German Language teacher) generated using Suno.ai in about 2 minutes, just giving it a prompt to generate a rock song. Its lyrics come from a really cheesy song included in a children's textbook. She just wanted the song to sound more accessible to today's kids. She didn't actually realize what this song would cause. And it left me completely shocked and actually questioning the point of further activities in music... 

My wife, by generating this song, gave the A.I. ​​a lot of scope for its own "imagination". She did not specify the structure of the song or the elements to be included in it - which can be set by entering appropriate comments in the song's text. What surprised me is how wisely the A.I. ​​approached this task, how it determined what should be included in this song. A huge surprise for me is the second part of the song, where the A.I., having no more lyrics, created something incredible, using elements such as triplet, half-time and returning when we expect the song to have ended. What's even more surprising is that the A.I. ​​understood that it was a song in German and was inspired by German-speaking bands such as Die Ärzte and used the typical German song structure, including the sound of the vocals.

Yes, I know, I do music for fun, but I still don't know what to do next... I'm thinking how it will impact the music industry? Let's talk about it in the comments and remember - let's be polite.

Below is a link to the original song, I improved it a bit, but whether it's for the better is a matter of taste:

And here is another one that left me speechless, also generated by my wife:

Du kanns ja mal...

(WARNING! This was generated by A.I.) Du kannst ja mal... (das Tierbuch fragen)

recorded on June 3rd, 2024, in the morning,
in Tiohtià:ke (Montréal)

I will probably come back to clean it up, levels, parts to remove if any, etc.  When I do I will keep the same file name but will remove the "Raw" part.

Unfortunately the truck had left by the time I came back to take the picture,
so don't go scrutinizing the photo looking for it, it's not there, lol.

If catharsis is the sense of relief after tragedy, this is what comes afterward.

The Sound of Light

Find happiness in the littleness

Lyrics: Autumn
vocals/guitars: Wendy
Guitars/harmony: Autumn
Synth/Bass machines/Drum machines/kit: todd
Image: selfie of the band posing next to a pretty lake with ducks

Chase happiness 			
Kindness 				
Happy kindness 			
Kind Happiness			
Hold bunnies 				

Share your blue aura 
get smile points 
wear platforms 
be tall for fun

get the side out!

My own little squad of robots 
Joy 

I’ve been holding on
Too long
To a losing dream
That I will be adored 
Right? By everyone?

I do my best
Why don’t they love me?

Said my jeans fit really good 
Say my jeans hit
I would be so much fun if I was 
Rich, and good looking
And making … KILLS
Side out

Winning IS better
Side Out
80’s headband, wavy hair

I watched every episode of 
my life 
With the Walter boys

Happy now?

Confession:
I love being on the volleyball team
But I suck
I’m worthless

there have been 
some not joy filled moments 
when I had unkind thoughts

Wendy: Guitar Lament

Chorus:
Be kind, be happy
There’s no reward
Work hard, then die
(You’ll cry)
We only want you here so we can win again

Autumn: solo 

try to be kind
try not to cry
try to be kind
If they would be kind
To me
Could I actually be
Happy?
Find happiness in the littleness

Written in the tortilla chip aisle at Costco.
Wearing ridiculously tiny shorts. Wtf is wrong with everybody?

Find happiness in the Littleness

Find happiness In The Littleness

....I hope he will forgive the presumption...

Dear God, just look at the state of you - what the hell happened?
Did time do that all by itself?
Chiselled and scraped with gentle, temporal strength?
Yesterdays now patterned well with telling tales of wear and tear.
Always took such good care that you ticked every health kick box
But all the ticks collect their tocks, bundling up the time we thought was dangling spare.

And wrinkly skin comes out to play, crafting plots with crumpled neurons badly frayed, and
Liver spots about the edges worn of happy recollections,
Waltzed away, invisible to the swinging of that penduled clock.
Take your eyes off it for just a minute and you’ve lost a day, 
And then a decade’s worth of wry reflections,
Lovingly to fold them up and let them lie in memory’s pocket.

Those lines that contour of your brow, a biography of creases now
And all cut down so very deep.
Each epidermal void crevasse life’s stylus tracks a scratching past
Evinces of a record no mortal hard re-format could delete.
And of your eyes, sallow yellowed at the margins, framed by corvid feet
Rigid-set to well outlast whatever bargained span of life your good Lord deems replete.

As if your face lampoons of age itself, wrecked and bent
Of scars that trace minutiae, carved in master sculptors’ stone
And none too soon, for just that task and that alone, recording compressed of the past..
We both know well which ones are smiles and which the pain that heaven sent,
The former few, soft of the flesh, the many others sunk unto the very bone,
The harshest welt of any sole upon the universal cobbler’s last.

But does it help to so reflect, or but to hurry time’s neglect?
Of such consideration circles wrapped in worry tearing down
All edifice of self respect, the towering pit of pity comes once more to town,
Parades a circus fine of talents, self deprecating jestered clowns
And galloping horses all the while stampede about the rounded ropes
Vespered peace forever sought, just out of reach, concedes of futile, now confounded hopes.

So what of forward self projection, folding the creases back behind
And out of sight to speculation on future solaced peace of mind?
Perhaps again the crashing wall of fast reality, solid bricked
Determines upward focus but to fall, as if to gravity’s grounded truth 
Tricked of consequential solitude, rimed of age, aching of the aged sick
No respite there nor rectitude as once you found in torrid youth.

But perhaps I’m speaking out of turn and out of place,
For though your memories sear and burn as if to carbonise some worthwhile trace of validity
On that unholy visage lit by lives lived long before….
It matters not and changes nought, not a jot nor yet a thought
For you and I know better than to seek a settled score from comment fair
After all, you are I, staring back at me from the mirror mounted there.

1- Echoes Of Thought

Latest Updates: 
Headphones are recommended on my work to allow the full effect. 
Over 1800 Tracks now on my channel, making music on here since 2015.
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).
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.
