@t-g-o-a-c: Thank you - I’m glad you liked it! It’s mostly built around a single patch, mainly driven by a moog mother 32 (which generates both the cello-ish and and drone-like ambient sounds).

Thorns

Music inspired by this haiku by Lewis Grandison Alexander:

"My soul is the wind
dashing down fields of Autumn
O, too swift to sing"

and this poem by Pablo Neruda (that you can hear faintly in the background):

"...
Escucha como el viento
me llama galopando
para llevarme lejos.

Con tu frente en mi frente,
con tu boca en mi boca,
atados nuestros cuerpos
al amor que nos quema,
deja que el viento pase
sin que pueda llevarme.

Deja que el viento corra
coronado de espuma,
que me llame y me busque
galopando en la sombra,
mientras yo, sumergido
bajo tus grandes ojos,
por esta noche sola
descansaré, amor mío."
"

Fields of Autumn [naviarhaiku254 - My soul is the wind]

My collaboration with amazing guitarist Jack Oli. It's  history of small boy who decides (together with camel)  to leave village and go to big city. Together they traveled across the desert and meet many dangerous people, but at the end they arrived to big city.
I hope you enjoy this small trip :)

neon boulevard (Naviarhaiku 266 )

Reading the haiku immediately conjured up a wide variety of associated images and feelings for me. It gave me the strong sense of being an image from some sort of contemporary film noir. The tinted windscreen seemed not only a dark contrast to the neon surroundings, but also suggested to me a division between the watcher and the watched, feelings of isolation or alienation. As I turned the haiku round in my head and pictured the scene, the pattern that starts at 1.45 ish began to accompany my thoughts and I developed the piece from there.

I, Behre, hobbyist musician, singer, songwriter, this-that-and-the-other, am in the SoundCloud primarily to collaborate. Yes, I occasionally post tracks that I have made mostly, or even entirely, on my own - But it is for collaboration that I came, because I think it produces much more interesting results. Please do not hesitate to contact me if you feel like giving working with me a go! 

My musical roots are in the late seventies and early eighties - Mostly post punk and new wave.
Main influences are probably bands like Ultravox and Japan, but there has of course been lots of others as well.
