Genre-less track with roots in rock, pop, folk and world music. Big soundscape with thundering drums and deep resonant piano. More narrative than structured. [Ver.  43]

Forgiveness Act Three

I was interested in music in my early youth... so I soon got my first synthesizer and set up a small home recording studio.
over the years i played keyboards in 5 bands...the direction was rock...pop...blues and soul.
in the meantime i have discovered my enthusiasm for creating my own songs.
it makes me happy when I can compose...arrange...mix...produce and create something new.
it's like a passion to experiment with different styles of music... and it gives me a lot of joy.
the only limit is your imagination...
is my motto.
and everything is possible...you just have to try.

music is pure magic...and part of the soul...
no one can escape her
let the music guide your mind...and that's the only way you'll get the freedom...you've always wanted

Hello my loyal followers, please accept my apologies that I am currently unable to attend to my hobby due to personal reasons and have temporarily withdrawn from SoundCloud. I recently logged into my account and received so many messages inquiring about my whereabouts. I wasn't expecting that. Thank you so much for your inquiries. I don't know yet when I'll be able to be active again. It may be until the end of the year. Have fun with your songs and thank you again for your loyalty.

--------------------------------------------

Thank you so much for being here and taking the time to listen to my music.

My first steps in electronic music were with the Atari 260 ST (manually upgraded to 1 MB memory), a Yamaha PSR460 keyboard and Cubeat 1.0 (later renamed to Cubase 1.0). So I've always been focused on Cubase, so to speak.

That was a long time ago. In the meantime I set up my little studio and recorded a few songs for myself. However, I didn't dare to publish them because they might not be good enough for the world. 

But at the beginning of 2023 I risked to publish the first songs. I hope you like my music, even if everything is very amateurish. 

Have fun, Werner.

Update May 26th, 2023

Now 5 months have passed and I would like to describe my impressions so far. 

This is the best community I have ever experienced. You guys are so great, motivating, inspiring, creative and constructive. This week I welcomed my 500th follower and you gave me the opportunity to reply to over 1000 comments. I never would have expected that.

Many, many thanks for your appreciative support and of course for your great music that you share with all of us here.

Composer and Media Producer from Kent, Ohio, USA.  Has released works as Xyst, Sonoxia, and JeffRay for Hypaethral Productions, Pearls Before Swine, and Mesa Publishing. Now focused on creating mostly instrumental music for video, tv, games and motion picture scores. 

Although the thumbnails are created using Dall-E or Stable Diffusion, NO AI WAS USED TO CREATE ANY MUSICAL COMPONENTS.

There are far too many people to thank, but I'm going to try: 

FIRST AND FOREMOST: 
Image-Line's FL Studio DAW
https://www.image-line.com/
https://soundcloud.com/fl-studio

I cannot begin to express how much this software helped me find my musical voice. (Image-line has not paid me anything for my endorsement.) Buy it once and get lifetime unlimited upgrades. I've used it since 1999 and since then, they've introduced dozens of new synths and effects I received for free. It just keeps on giving. I absolutely love FL Studio because of it's step sequencer core, beautiful interfaces, ease of use, robust help, versatility and incredible sound quality.
