I'll be building this one for a while. Meet the person with the most uploads on SoundCloud by a human. You might find some AI splat account that's faked their way to more... Ian wins the human battle though! What a musician 🤝🏼 With track 1 I save your ass two minutes from scrolling to the bottom of Ian's profile to get his debut piece... Chromatic State. Enjoy and please support this amazing soul from Wales. A beautiful part of the planet and I'm yet to meet a Welsh person that isn't completely sound (Nice in this neck of the woods)

2003 Best Of Collection

Doom Brake Sward

Clearing out the last of the songs left in our winter closet. This started off as an acoustic cover of The Chromatic’s cover of ‘Petals’ by Hole but evolved into this bittersweet melody that reminds me of Elliott Smith, Jim O’ Rourke, Low and the somber side of Beck.

Undoubtedly I’ll keep fiddling with the mix as always and will then ship it off for mastering at some point.

Now we are very much looking to forward to embracing the spirit of summer by leaning into our rockier influences…more to come!

Francesco Adornetto & Ara_Piano - Fragments Of A Dream (G min 81 bpm)

A dreamlike journey through nature and melody, where fleeting fragments of memory and music intertwine in ethereal harmony.

The artwork for Fragments of a Dream transports the viewer into a dreamlike realm rich with symbols and metaphors. 
The visual composition intertwines natural and imaginary elements, such as butterflies, mushrooms, autumn leaves, and a vibrantly colored bird. At its center, a stylized piano, adorned with intricate patterns, represents the intimacy and artistry of music—a space where dreams and reality converge.

The blue butterfly symbolizes transformation and the weightlessness of a dream, while the leaves and mushrooms evoke the cyclical nature of life, reflecting the fleeting, impermanent fragments of dreamlike memories. The bird, with its vivid presence, embodies freedom and melody, suggesting that music transcends the boundaries of the real world.

The entire collage feels like an invitation to an imaginary garden, where every element tells a fragmented story, like torn pages from a dream journal. Francesco Adornetto & Ara_piano’s composition weaves these fragments together, transforming them into a delicate and evocative sonic narrative. 
The title, Fragments of a Dream, suggests that what remains of the dream is as beautiful as it is elusive, like a memory dissolving upon waking.

This is quite raw, but an honest one. Recorded in one take, decicated to you dear SC listeners. I feel lucky to receive such attention and feedbacks here. Soundcloud community keeps me going and inspires me. 
Production might not be perfect, sorry about that, but this guitar track was composed and played with the heart to thank you humbly.

Lyrics:
remember when we were young
remember all the things that we shared together
honestly i don’t know how we lasted so long

you are still here with me
even through the bad times
cause god really knows
that we had our fair share of those

So let it rain let it rain let it rain on me
to wash away the pain
and cleanse away my healing soul

So let it rain let it rain let it rain on me
to wash away the pain
and cleanse away my healing soul

the sky is crying but
what happened to all the tears
they’re not touching me
and it’s not near me

i see it falling but it never reaches out to me
like it always used to
whenever there was evil

rain a little harder and then
come and try to touch the ground
wet me on my head
come and make me better

free us from the evil
take away the pain it caused
and leave us with a pure soul
that commands no evil

i need the water of god
kindly bestowed upon me

i need to cleanse my soul
take the evil straight out of me

then we need to cleanse the world
so everybodies soul can be free
but the rain is not touching down

can’t you see the evil all around
that’s some shit we need to take down
we need to take it all down right damn now

magical mystical miracle
pouring rain in the sky

soon be gone
as quick as it came
the healing storm
will go away

wash away wash away
wash away
wash away
all the pain

wash away wash away
wash away
wash away
you’ll be saved

we need the cleansing water
so as to make us better inside

do you wanna be saved
or would you rather be evil and die
i don’t know why

cause once god cuts off the cleansing waters
there’s nothing we can do
and then we’re through

so show your true colors
there is so much good still left in you

wash away wash away
wash away
wash away
all the pain

wash away wash away
wash away
wash away
you’ll be saved

So let it rain let it rain let it rain on me
to wash away the pain
and cleanse away my healthy soul

The Texas Tea Industrial Bluegrass Experience

**🌄 "Dawn’s Cold Embrace" – A Haunting Post-Punk Meditation on Transience 🌄**  

A delicate balance of frost-kissed melody and raw introspection, **"Dawn’s Cold Embrace"** captures the quiet agony of existing in the threshold between night’s refuge and day’s unyielding glare. This track weaves jangly, shimmering guitars with poetic despair, crafting a soundscape as fragile as the hour it mourns.  

**Lyrics as Fragile Revelations:**  
The song opens like a shiver—*“The night loosens its grip, leaves me in silence, where memories hover, shadows without shape”*—pitting the comfort of darkness against dawn’s merciless clarity. The chorus, *“There’s a chill in the light, it feels too honest,”* aches with the vulnerability of confronting what daylight unearths: fractured truths and “things unsaid.” The spoken-word outro lingers like mist, whispering of liminal purgatory: *“a place between what’s gone and what’s yet to begin.”*  

**Soundscapes of Bleak Elegance:**  
Treble-soaked guitar lines twinkle like frost under a pale sun, while a melodic bassline pulses with the rhythm of sleepless contemplation. Drums shuffle with restrained urgency, mimicking the reluctant march toward morning. Vocals sway between tender murmurs and trembling crescendos, embodying the tension of holding onto fading warmth. The bridge strips the arrangement to a skeletal hum—cold synths and trembling reverb mirroring the lyric’s *“loss without sorrow”*—before the instrumental break erupts in a cascade of melancholic strings and wiry arpeggios.  

**Why It Captivates:**  
- **For fans of:** Introspective jangle-pop, poetic bleakness, and post-punk’s romantic despair.  
- **Perfect for:** Solitary walks through empty parks at daybreak, scribbling unsent letters, or clinging to the ghost of a fading dream.  

**"Dawn’s Cold Embrace"** is not a song—it’s a sigh crystallized in sound. A hymn for those who find solace in the ache of impermanence. **Let its gray-light melancholy seep into your bones.**  

🎧 *Stream now, and wander the fragile edge of dawn.* 🎧

As I've started doing lately, this is a short excerpt, focusing on just the closing section of a full piano tune I recorded around 2001. The approach kind of reminds of the ending of "Crime Of The Century" by Supertramp (obviously nowhere near as interesting). Apologies for the poor recording quality, and the piano sound wasn't the greatest back then. Still, this little 1-minute closing section is still one of my favourite things I've recorded. 
Here's a link to the original, full tune:

Last Days of November (EXCERPT - ENDING)



[Verse 1]
They’ve tried for years to box us in, 
To make us all the same
Yet we’ll look for common ground
Ain’t pieces of their game

[Verse 2]
Different stories, different past 
We all rise as one
No beauty in a mirror
When the glass is numb

[Pre-Chorus]
Oh - oh, feel the rhythm, feel the unity
Oh - oh different sparks, but watch em rise

[Chorus]
We shine through shade, every shape, every name
A masterpiece in motion, 
never meant to be the same
We have the art to illuminate 
Beauty in diversity

We elevate 

[Verse 4]
Diversity and colour
If we all thought alike
Rather blend our voices strong
A screen of unity

[Pre-Chorus]
Oh-oh, feel the rhythm, feel the vibe
Oh-oh, different sparks but watch them rise

[Bridge]
Look around, can’t you see
We’re a wave, we’re a sea
Every difference, every hue
We’re beautiful individuals

[Chorus]
We share our praise 
A masterpiece in motion, 
Our batteries full, we illuminate 
Beauty in diversity
Yea that’s how we elevate 

[verse]
We are beauty, shine as one
We are diversity - the power of choice
We’re beauty in diversity,
Beauty in diversity 

[Outro]
Beauty in diversity 
One voice one sound
Beautiful diversity 

Self worth
Stand proud


Beauty in Diversity

Sehnsucht is a felt piano meditation on longing and introspection. Soft, resonant tones weave a delicate narrative of nostalgia and hope. Each note lingers in quiet reverie, echoing the depth of unspoken emotions. A journey through solitude, memory, and endless yearning.

🎹 Piano: Francesco Adornetto

Sehnsucht

Thank you to all of you who stopped and listened to this track.
We cannot see it with our eyes, but we know that we are walking toward the future before us!
We are being guided by something. An invisible force.
Since time immemorial, haven't people dreamed of connecting with the universe, leaving Earth, and traveling into space?
Nowadays, interest in other planets has increased, and in many news stories, we see the existence of unidentified flying objects.
What did the astronauts feel when they left Earth?
What awaits us in the future we seek?

The Still Vast Unknown

Thank you to everyone who stopped by and listened to this track. 
Thank you for your time.People seek warmth and love in their homes.
Quiet, flowing spaces, glamorous family rooms, and all kinds of home shapes. Even if we are lonely at times, we all have our own important personal spaces.
Just because you are alone does not mean you are living in loneliness. Even the light of a single candle gives different warmth to different people.
How do we measure wealth? People who have no gaps in their hearts feel rich.

Silenced Home

Vincent's Dawn
A gentle tone of dawn, born from one of life’s most fragile and magnificent moments – becoming a grandfather for the first time. The track carries the pride and warmth of witnessing a new generation take its first breath, while quietly reflecting on the passage of time and one’s own journey through life.

With soft arpeggios, atmospheric textures, and a careful pulse, the light begins to grow – like a new day, a new life. Vincent's Dawn captures the quiet joy, the deep tenderness, and the inner peace that arrives when you realize your story now continues in someone else’s eyes.

To little Vincent – Grandpa will teach you everything he knows about synthpop and how to make good "random plonks"!

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.

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.
