Helical - this is my first track and first composition :') yay! - starting off with  a minimal piano melody that finds its determination in harmonic development. 
I am really excited to release the first bits of my music. More is coming soon :) I really hope you like my track!

Thanks :), 
Kasch ♥♥♥

Helical

Cordate  -  "heart-shaped"

My second modern piano piece is rather emotive, in a dreamy way. I tried to create a calm atmosphere with a light flow of melody and ostinato, both of them  trying to carry one's thoughts further :)

Feel free to leave a comment or a like on my new track! ♥ 

love, Kasch

Cordate

Like a conversation, the melodies flow above an ostinato that finally evolves into a rather powerful climax, heading towards a conclusion. But since the music goes on, you could say that the interlocutors are not finished in conveying their own truths. :) 

This is my 3rd track :) I decided to use less harmonies and chords in this one, in order to give the melodies clarity. 

I really hope you enjoy listening to my track !

This piano piece is quite different from my earlier ones which is due to the fact, that I had the chance (for the first time- yay!) to compose something for a short film! Words cannot describe how much I love movie scores in general, and the art of bringing motion picture and sounds together in particular. That being said, I am very thrilled to present to you my first (one-piece) soundtrack!

Since the movie is still in the making, I only had the chance to look at a few clips and the creators gave me a rough idea of how the music should evolve - they wanted me to go from a happy to a sad tone.
I immediately had a melody in my head, which is now the main theme. Since I did not want the mood of the track to change too abruptly from happy to sad, I tried to go for a melody that basically contained the two moods from the beginning on. So, I could decide to freely shift the focus of the mood by the help of the backing melodies. I wanted the music to convey a light and peaceful mood combined with a nostalgic atmosphere, because nostalgia always carries this unfulfilled longing for the past, which might hurt even though it really should not. 
I chose the title 'Daisy', because Daisy flowers symbolize beginnings, since they are one of the first flowers to blossom in spring. The name derived from the Old English 'Day's Eye', meaning the flowers open up during the day and close their petals at night. In the Victorian age, Daisies were a symbol of farewell as well as new beginnings...

I'd really appreciate if you give my music a listen :)

WHAT DOES SPACE SOUND LIKE?

Space is a virtual vacuum, but still, sound does exist. Especially when we put our creativity and imagination to work ...
What happens when we try to take music into space? One particular scene of the fantastic movie "Gravity" evoked that exact question in me. It was the scene where Sandra Bullock's character tumbles through the vastness of space after losing contact to the spaceship and her colleagues. A human being in a place where we do not naturally belong. Silence all around you. What is silence? I think silence is, what we make out of it. There is always an individual approach to it. With 'POLLUX' I went on a musical journey to the star that is 34 light-years away from our solar system and has the eightfold radius of our sun. Fascinating, isn't it? In this scenery, silence evokes fear, fear of the unknown, but also curiosity and the beauty of letting it take you with its odd rythm and maintaining a certain pioneering spirit. I experimented with strange electronic yet organic sounds and symphonical sounds to give silence a musical body.  


(German) 
POLLUX,  ein Stern aus dem Sternbild Zwillinge, der etwa 34 Lichtjahre von der Erde entfernt ist und ungefähr den achtfachen Radius der Sonne hat. Unfassbar, faszinierend und einschüchternd.

 Ich habe mit diesem Stück versucht, die eigentliche Stille und Atmosphäre im Weltraum musikalisch zu interpretieren. Wie kann man Stille musikalisch darstellen? So weit von unserem Lebensraum entfernt, wie verändert sich Musik und Tonalität, wenn wir versuchen, sie dorthin mitzunehmen? Organische Klänge sowie symphonische Mittel schienen mir als besonders geeignet um eine Stimmung, die von Ungewissheit, Ehrfurcht, Weite und Entdeckerlust geprägt ist, zu kreieren.

Pollux

Neue und alte Welt. Rudimentäre Geräusche aus einer anderen Zeit treffen auf Klänge der modernen Neuzeit. Wie vertragen sich vorsintflutliche Geräuschkulissen mit technologischer Entwicklung? Wie abstrakt kann unsere Vorstellung von Ur-Klängen überhaupt sein? Oder entstammen diese den modernen Klängen; in Form von vereinfachten und verrohten Tönen, und die Ur-Klänge sind bloße Versuche und Annahmen unserer Logik. Folkloristische Klänge spielen mit metallischen und elektrischen Klängen.


Hey, I have a new experimental track for you :) I really love this one a lot, it was so much fun making it :)

This is my new piano piece, Eous.
A  few weeks ago,in December 2017, I contacted the Digital Artist Teun van der Zalm, and it turned out, we both like each others work, so we decided to collaborate. Teun creates these amazing 3D Nebula animations, and visuals of the vastness of space, definitely check him out! He often puts music to his visuals, so regarding the space theme, I suggested  my 'POLLUX' track which has a quite dark and adventurous sci-fi character. 

The piano piece ' EOUS', that you are now about to listen to, was especially created for Teun's visualizations and the short film, and is therefore a lot different. I decided to go for an only piano-based track, because I wanted those pure,raw tones with a bit of reverb in combination with pauses and silence. Dramatic pauses in music, guys. This is where the magic happens!  Do you feel the same about that? This reduced and selected amount of sounds felt really complementary to the dreamy, mystic and delicate looking nebulae animations. Let's not forget about the title.
'EOUS' is the morning star, also meaning 'of dawn', 'at morning'. While thinking about Teun's Nebulae animations (basically the place where stars are born), the symbolism of a beginning, maybe a womb-like place, judging from the colours - it's just a beautiful, organic yet magical thing- came to my mind and it became the musical theme. A morning. A slow beginning, going back and forth, fast pace, hesitation, rush and rest. Finding one way, leaving another...

Have fun listening to this track and check out the shortfilm by Teun van der Zalm, for which this piano piece was especially made, on YouTube : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bB9eq-exmjQ

All the love, Kathi.

Eous

Aus dem Lateinischen "circulus meridianus", der "Mittagskreis".
Der Begriff ist mit vielen Bedeutungen behaftet, sei es aus der Geographie, Astronomie oder der traditionellen chinesischen Medizin, in welcher der Meridian als eine Bahn im Körper gedeutet wird, durch die das "Qi", die innere Energie, fließt. Mich hat thematisch besonders die Vorstellung einer mittleren Bahn, sei es zeitlich oder räumlich, interessiert. Oft spricht man dem Anfang und dem Ende von etwas eine besondere Intensität zu. Was beide als Rahmenpunkte aber auch inne haben, ist eine natürliche Heftigkeit, die der Mitte fremd ist.
Hingegen hat diese vom Anfang dazugelernt und eine Entschlossenheit entwickelt,  unbeschwert auf der dehnbaren Bahn zwischen Anfang und Ende zu laufen.
Dieses Stück schließt direkt an "Eous" an.

English:
---The term "Meridian" is used in many different contexts. It originally stems from the Latin 'meridies', meaning "midday"; the sun crosses a given meridian midway between the times of sunrise and sunset on that meridian. However, even traditional Chinese medicine uses this term to describe a stream in the human body, where the Qi, the inner energy, flows. For me, it evoked a sensation of balance, avoiding the extreme frame of a start or an end, lingering in the middle. Therefore I wanted to give my piano piece a tentative, yet determined sound. We tend to praise beginnings and ends for their remarkable bearing of  new feelings while it is actually the middle of something that most often brings us utter joy and peace - and those moments can be powerful in their tenderness.

Meridian

My first musical cycle! :) Consisting of the three piano pieces Eous, Meridian and Vesperi. Eous opened the gates of heaven for Helios, followed by a lingering on the Meridian Midway and lastly with Vesperi, we'll be awaiting the entrance of the night - the air is full of sound - bridging a farewell - until a new beginning.

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

Mein erster musikalischer Zyklus ist fertig! :) Bestehend aus den drei Stücken Eous, Meridian und Vesperi. 

Eous hat die Himmelspforten für Helios am Morgen geöffnet, auf der Mittagslinie Meridian wurde balanciert verweilt und nun geht es auf den Abend zu, der Übergang zwischen dem endenden Tag und dem Einbruch der Nacht.

Vesperi
