Great tune Ian, it's the musical  equivalent of coming out of a bout of depression, a sense of hope! 👍🧡😻

Funny enough, THIS sounds like what Id expect to hear at a magic show! Is that crazy talk?

Some of my Soundcloud favourites #1

Pantoclast + R.S.Stropharia + A.Schwarzer - Daily Enemy Territory Remix By A.Schwarzer (09.10.2021)

Have completely reworked this old track from 2008 using the mighty KORG instrumentation set to give it a fresh vibrant feel, enjoy.

Twilight 2021

    I wish you all a bunch of them!     ☯️

Delicious Moments

When those we are now joyfully developing take inventory and count out by "were you good?". Christmas times very different with a built-in malfunction!

Small robots for children were placed under the Christmas tree. Now it is the robots that rule us. The Christmas tree is already electric in many places!

a not entirely serious story  ;) 😉

Merry Christmas to all who supported me so far, listened to me and read. Stay healthy and creative!

64 And Counting

I don't have a specially good connection to my ancestors. I don't know too much about my family roots and I didn't know my grandparents very well either. 
But lately I am starting to build a connection to the people who lived here long time ago. I am following the songlines of the surrounding landscapes and listening what they want to tell me. And I am curious to find out, where this vague interest wants to take me...

Google translation of the lyrics of the song:

You lived here then
How was life here?
How did you live?
Were you happy here?

Did you bathe in the lake?
Were there still fish here?
Was it all forest then?
Was the winter cold then?

Secret fire on the grave
Wide view down to the valley
Narrow stripe of the Pene river
did you see it too

Take me with you
Tell me more about you
Make me wild again
Show me how that was done

Light the path for me
Come to me tonight
Lives with us again
Close the circle with us

Secret fire on the grave
Wide view down to the valley
Narrow stripe of the Pene river
did you see it too

We re-recorded a very old track that we used to play with our first Band "Suspicios tales" back in the 90s. Good memories come back. This one is sung in German! Give it a listen!

We're back again with another installment in the ongoing SoundCloud collaborative concept album, 'Land of the ZED' !!

Stonerjazz, Uziel, and I developed this idea for a fantastical psychedelic concept album last Spring. We were joined by Francesca/Zed during our last episode (Johnny Sings the Blues) and all 4 of us came together again on this one. 

We've been really enjoying working on this collaboration and we hope you'll enjoy listening!

Lyrics:

(SJ)
DEEPER DEEPER DOWN THEY GO
PEEPERS PEEPERS SPYING IN THE DARK
STEEPER STEEPER EVERY STEP UPON THE TRAIL
SINGLE FILE IN LIGHT SO PALE

....
(U)
I'll turn the skies around
I'll go back up again
Hold on tight for this one
I'll escape into the sunlight
when will my dream start me?
Or maybe I'm just fine?
Welcome to a maladaptive daydream...

....
(SJ)
MONKEY'S HANGING ONTO MONKEY TAILS
HOTTER HOTTER AND IN THE MIDST OF THIS
THE TRAILS SPLIT, TURNED INTO TWO.
JONNNY DOESN'T KNOW WHAT TO DO, JOHNNY DOESN'T HAVE A CLUE.
THE CROWS SAY "LEFT" THE RATS SAY "RIGHT"
AND THEY BEGIN TO KUNG FU FIGHT.

....
(Z)
mary
if you are real i'll marry you
if you are real i'll marry you

mary
you were easy to love
or maybe
your love dragged me down
mary
i should leave you alone
you are no dream that i own

mary
if you are real i'll marry you
mary
if you are real i'll marry you

....
(U)
I miss the razzle and dazzle
the trout and the smoke
and all the creatures running amok
I miss the sun's eyes
the moons in the skies
oh... I wish I could see it with you
but I'm stuck here
moving downward to the heart of the core
Zed...
I miss you... I miss you
I miss the razzle and dazzle
trout and the smoke
crows and the feathers all of their beads
rats in the leathers
the smoke and the feathers...
the smoke and the feathers...

Lyrics

Pt. 1

Johnny doesn't know what to do
johnny doesn't have a clue
the crows say "left!"
the rats say "right!"
and they began to kung fu fight
Johnny standing in his golden accordion light says:
"stop this now! no need to fight-
half go left and half go right!"
johnny doesn't know
What to do
Johnny doesn't have a clue

Johnny doesn't know
What to do?
He doesn't have a clue what do do

"Half go left and half go right!"

Here comes Roy! The despicable despot!
shaking in his boots...
he still pokes Johnny "play me some blues!"
"oh Johnny! let's end this now! Whatcha' gonna do Johnny?"
"HAHAHA"

"HALF GO LEFT AND HALF GO RIGHT!"
"Hey Johnny can you play me some blues?!"
"Now no, need to fight!"
"Hey Johnny, he he, oh johnny"
Johnny doesn't know, Johnny doesn't know...

Pt. 2

away and down and to the right, one thousand pilgrims Trudge into the massive cavern bright with River deep and cold and wide and FAIRIES everywhere in flight glowing with an amber light.

On the River bank a CRONE she squats and waits to collect the toll to cross the bridge that's built of blood and bones and ropes of soul.

She says "I'll have your finger or your toe or a small percentage of your soul. If you refuse i'll take it all. It's up to you, It's just like life, you can't go back, You MUST go through!!

Speed And Light / In A State Of Trance

At home producer of electronic tracks in varying styles - I really enjoy experimenting with melding different genres. 
Been writing songs since the mid 70's whilst playing bass & drums in various bands (the first one was a punk band) and digitally writing since 2006. Retired now, so much more time for having fun with music :) It's just a hobby for me these days; Soundcloud is just a great place to share music & connect with people who have the same interests.  All my recent music is free to download - if you want to download any that don't have a download link, just let me know :)
I appreciate - and love to listen to - all genres, from orchestral through to metal. 

Thank you for reading, and hope you enjoy the music.

Latest Updates: 
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.
