Mapmaker

This is my first foray into orchestration involving more than one instrument.  In this track, I added a virtual choir to my piano track "Windswept Wilderness" https://soundcloud.com/skai-eriksson/windswept (the last track in the "Seven Dreams" album soundcloud.com/skai-eriksson/sets/seven-dreams-of-the-orb-weaver).  

I used the "Gregorian swell" virtual choir in Logic with extra reverb.  I also added extra reverb to the piano for consistency (except at the piano solo toward the end where I put a smaller reverb).  Mixing was a challenge--my dad helped with that by making a simple game-changing (and fog-lifting) suggestion to cut out a few dB from the mid range on the piano to make space for the vocals.  

This was a fun project--it is nice to keep the piano as the lead instrument while highlighting certain notes and harmonies with a complementary instrument (and hammered strings seem to go well with a swelling vocal), but there are a bunch of additional challenges in working with more than one instrument, so this gave me new respect for the SCers that do full orchestrations!  Comments/criticism are welcome!

The art is just a color inversion of the "Seven Dreams" art (the procedure for generating the "Seven Dreams" art is summarized in the album description https://soundcloud.com/skai-eriksson/sets/seven-dreams-of-the-orb-weaver).

The title "requiem" is an afterthought prompted by the cathedral effect of the piano and choir combo.  I didn't choose the Gregorian vocals because I wanted this sound but rather because it happened to be the vocal I liked best among the options in garageband/Logic. While tragedy and loss (of friends and family as well as the horrible things happening in the world lately) have influenced some of my compositions including the base track "Windswept Wilderness", this cathedral sound I think is too vintage and over-the-top to feel like a sincere requiem (and for that reason I decided to tag it as #soundtrack).

Requiem

Because I really love this one year old song I made with Cecilia, I revised it again. I've added some violin sounds that emphasize the sad atmosphere of the song even more. I also re-recorded some guitar parts and the bass. I like this version even better now. I hope you too.

Lyrics:

I am Standing in the Moonlight Waiting for your Sunshine
I am Standing in the Moonlight Waiting for your Sunshine

Don't leave me in this silence. 
Don't leave me in this silence. 
Don't leave me this Way....
Don't leave me in this silence. 
Don't leave me in this silence. 
Don't leave me this Way....

I know i do no wrong , so wondering if you 've been hurted...
Trying to hold it back, Trying to hide
But can't deny, the sentiment is deep inside

And I know that you know, you know that I know, I know that you know it!
I feel that you feel, you feel that I feel, I feel that you feel it! Deep inside.

I know that you know ; You know that I know, I know that you know it!

I am Standing in the Moonlight Waiting for Your Sunshine
I am Standing in the Moonlight Waiting for Your Sunshine
I am Standing in the Moonlight Waiting for Your Sunshine

Don't leave me in this silence. 
Don't leave me in this silence. 
Don't leave me this way....
Don't leave me in this silence. 
Don't leave me in this silence. 
Don't leave me this way....

Could see sparkling of desire in your eyes ,
even if i'd try to mask, maybe you saw mine.

Trying to hold back emotion, but It remains so strong.

Trying to hold it back, trying to hide.
But can't deny, the sentiment is deep inside
If we can't be lovers, we can stay friends forever... forever...

I know that you know ; You know that I know, I know that you know it!
You feel that I feel, I feel that you feel it !

Hey fellow SoundClouders!
I wrote this song last year at Christmas with my brain addled with egg nog and sugar plum fairies. Finally recorded it to get it out there for this Christmas.
Guitars on this song are a Gretsch 2622TG with P90s, a vintage modified Stratocaster, and a classic 60s Telecaster...plus sleigh bells, of course.
LYRICS:
"Christmas on the Moon"
words & music by Timothy Walsh

Try to take a picture in your heart and file it away.
Try to take a picture I don’t know any other way
to keep your smile in my heart and savor it all day
until we meet in winter’s dark and light each other’s way.

Too many miles separate us in the snow. It’s almost Christmas Day.
Too many smiles lost to Time’s uncertain ways. Will you come away?

Can we be a mixture of two souls and mingle in the night?
Can we be a fixture in the dark always burning bright?
Cast no shadow, cast no light—there is no other way
to banish darkness so we might enjoy this Christmas Day.

You stand there looking through the curtains at the moon
as if your home was really there.
You say you wonder if there’s Christmas on the moon,
and if it radiates from there?

Now we venture out into the winter dark to catch a glimpse of Santa’s sleigh,
feed his reindeer, make a wish upon a star that he can find his way.

Now we pin the stockings to the hearth, wrap presents for the tree,
fill our glasses with red wine, watch the fire flickering—
children sleeping lost in dreams in the bedroom dark
longing for the morning light when Christmas Day can start.

You look so beautiful in winter’s snowy light in our bedroom on the moon.
Can we linger here and savor our delight with winter coming soon?

Let’s have Christmas on the moon, can’t you see the morning light?
Rub the sleep from tired eyes, wake to a world of white.

Nights

A Silent Night

Music by Gryflet
Lyrics and vocals by Jh0st -https://soundcloud.com/jh0st

your hands are are not
young like the sun…
they lie to me, blanket your gardens.

rest in blame
on corners high
above this moon.
we walk in circles
drugged to these fumes.

just swear to me! swear...
and you swear to me.
‘cause what you don't need
is for us to stay here and bleed.

and you swear to me. swear...
and you swear to me.
what dark can you bleed
from the depths of your veins, insane.

run...
like moths to a flame
for what you don't need
closing the circles fate.

swear to me! swear...
and you swear to me:
cry to the whisper
weep for what you don't need.

and you swear to me. swear...
swear can you leave?
leave me to be
and take what you don't...
need.

run…
like moths to a flame
for what you don't need.


What You Don't Need (w/Jh0st)

Nature

The very moment when my brother Brian rang me and told me that he had been diagnosed with a form of Leukaemia will stay with me as long as I exist. Although he went into older brother mode telling me all of the positive treatments available including the various lengthy timescales involved it didn't stop it hitting me like a rock. I am not proud of feeling very selfish and thinking, “You cannot do this…I have lots of plans and a lot of them involve you…” 
The time scales were much shorter than Bri or anyone expected and the massive void that has been left in my life will never be filled. 
This song is about that moment, this song is about an angel in disguise, this song is about my greatest musical hero, this song is about my King, this song is about my brother Bri.
The music and backing vocals are just amazing on this track and I cannot thank Hans, Jimmie and my brother Gal enough for making this song everything I wanted it to be. (Terry Reeves)

We owe an enormous debt of thanks to our good friends Hans (https://soundcloud.com/clouders_for) and Little Jimmie Aquanaut (https://soundcloud.com/ocean-of-tunes-presents) for their simply brilliant work on this song.  For obvious reasons, it’s one that means such a lot to both Tel and myself.  
Apologies for my recent absence, very much due to circumstances beyond my control.  Hope to be around a bit more in the not too distant future.  Many thanks for continuing to listen, comment and being your usual kind, generous and lovely selves.   (Gary Reeves)

Who’s Gonna Be My King? (music and lyrics, Terry Reeves)

When I heard the news I would not believe a word that was said
I thought that someone was playing with the fears inside my head
Another piece of information I did not need to know just yet

But then I realised 
It hit me like a rock
Another empty space
Who's gonna be my King when you're gone?
Who's gonna be my angel in disguise?
Who's gonna tell me the truth when others tell me white lies.
Yes I realised it hit me like a rock, another empty space 
Who's gonna be my King when you're gone?

As I'm growing older l expect to say more goodbyes
Sometimes it's hard to see the good times with watered eyes
An accepted part with aching bones but not with this disguise 

I didn't want to hear
The possibilities
Of an empty throne
Who's gonna be my King when you're gone?
Who's gonna be my angel in disguise?
Who's gonna tell me the truth when others tell me white lies?
I didn't want to hear the possibilities of an empty throne
Who's gonna be my King when you're gone?

BREAK

The future shortens but there always seems to be more time
Until a tap upon my shoulder reminds me that I've used that same line
Even with a time machine I don't know if I could  change my mind

What I want to say
May not make much sense
I know it's selfish but
Who's gonna be my king when you're gone?
Who's gonna be my angel in disguise?
Who's gonna tell me the truth when others tell me white lies?
What I want to say may not make much sense
I know it's selfish but
Who's gonna be my King when you're gone?

What I want to say
May not make much sense
I know it's selfish but
Who's gonna be my King when you're gone?


Who's Gonna Be My King? Cripple Club, Hans Albers and The Aquabooty City Choir

Conflicting feelings among arpeggios and a lot of acoustic rhythmic guitar. I tried to add some arrangements, but "goblin" (feeling while playing / ad libitum - what's the english for that?) was too much limited.

Sentimientos encontrados entre arpegios y mucha rítmica a pelo. Intenté ponerle acompañamiento, pero el duende quedaba demasiado encerrado.

Lyrics/Letra:

El mundo está oscuro sin ti,
la vida no tiene sentido si no estás aquí. 
El tiempo pasa rápido, 
contigo es la paz y la seguridad de estar abrazado.

La seguridad de estar a tu lado
hace que el tiempo no pare... (bis)

Hay tanta gente en el mundo, 
tanta gente por conocer.
La tranquilidad de estar a tu lado
hace que no me decida... (bis)

¿Merece la pena esa tranqulidad
que me mantiene ignorante?
¿Merece la pena esa paz,
y rechazar la variedad?

Son las dudas de siempre,
desde tu seguro regazo, no sé qué es mejor.
Quiero buscar algo nuevo, 
intento convencerme de que no, nada es mejor.

La seguridad de estar a tu lado
 hace que el tiempo no pare...
La tranquilidad de estar a tu lado
hace que no me decida...

No sé qué hacer (Contigo es la paz)
