wonderful track from start to finish!! Sounds stunning and professional! Where can I buy this or show other ways of support? :)

I am enjoying the space in this track and I can see this fitting nicely in to many films!

Particularly attractive and fascinating! I like and republish!

Nicely mix between soundtrack and pop music

You are music’s inner core. Layers and layer of earth fall off your shoulders as you stand there. The sun’s first day glistens in your teeth. I hear your voice and composition in my genes.

Pretty sure I posted before, but came back for another listen. I just love this so much

We are watching us ghost side,
There are clothes to be washed and hung from the line,
You are blurry and blue-eyed...
Chop the wood into diamonds on cloud nine.

Stir the pot, sing a lullaby,
While the angels around you scream 'Fire!'
For the child to beautify,
For the man to inearth every choir.
For the man to inearth every choir.

On The Roofs

Noodling around with a little repeat phrase on a felt piano, it decided it wanted to be this.

Passage

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

I've always loved Leave No Man Behind by Hans Zimmer from his score for the film Black Hawk Down.  Whenever I listened to it, it was just calling out for some pipes to be added.

Its a shame that such a beautiful piece of music is associated with a war film, I'm a pacifist myself, but the idea of leaving no one behind is something that I can fully support.  

This is my little arrangement of the piece.

Written by Hans Zimmer
Performed and Arranged by Philleann

Colourful Flow

Ich atme tief, je respire la paix,

Whispers Through The Silk Roads

[Verse]
On a red rock under crimson sky
Guitar hums soft strings whisper why
Shadows from stars they flick and dance
Martians watch with a curious glance

[Chorus]
Red dust twirls where the air don’t sing
Echoes fall soft from the metal strings
Eyes of the unknown they gleam deep bright
Under Martian sky in the pale cold light

[Verse]
Little ones tilt heads and lean near
They don’t speak words but their minds clear
Shapes like dreams float around quiet hues
Listening close like they’ve heard the blues

[Bridge]
Six strings weave through alien air
In a world that feels too empty and bare
The music a bridge through the silence wide
Between this lost soul and the world outside

[Chorus]
Red dust twirls where the air don’t sing
Echoes fall soft from the metal strings
Eyes of the unknown they gleam deep bright
Under Martian sky in the pale cold light

[Verse]
The notes ripple through crimson sand
Gloved fingers strumming in a foreign land
Strangers we are but the song makes us one
Here under the birth of an alien sun
