This is such a majestic and compelling musical journey you take us on!!!

I want to explore an enchanted forest to this

Jéé, Cardhalia - znám 💚 ....  to je snad ale tak 15-20 let ne?  Moc hezká skladba 🎧

Then you've done a great job playing around with Spitfire's sound libraries 🙂 It fits perfectly into the setting of a medieval video game. Back then, making a video game was also a passion of mine (which I never pursued further). I had bought the 3D Game Studio tool, but it was all too complicated for me 😁 Today, I tinker around a bit with Unreal Engine...

Orchestral music is my biggest love and a challenge at the same time. I´m learning as I go, but it is such a fun to play all those wonderful instruments! And the result is satisfying, at least for me :-)

Way Of Orch

The Ocean’s Song ( Deutsch  free download  mp3 )

A simple composition based on two different themes, dark and light. Sometimes both sides of the force are needed...

Daydream Escape

One-take piano impro, always nice to catch these, if only one would never forget to hit the record button. The forest soundscape I recorded a few years ago was a nice addition. And cello in the back? One of those crazy ideas...

Morning In The Forest

Variation mit einem Bösendorfer.
Die drei Gymnopédies sind Klavierstücke des französischen Komponisten Erik Satie. Sie entstanden um 1888 und zählen zu seinen bekanntesten Werken.
2023 hab ich das Bild gemalt, welches ich als Track Art verwendet habe und finde es passt hier ganz wunderbar zu den Kompositionen

Variation with a Boesendorfer.
The three Gymnopédies are piano pieces by the French composer Erik Satie. They were written around 1888 and are among his best-known works.
I painted the track-art picture in 2023 and I think it goes very well with the work by Satie.

J'ai peint cette image de track-art en 2023 et je pense qu'elle s'accorde très bien avec l'œuvre de Satie.

Gymnopédies

Gymnopédies (1 - 2 - 3) - Bösendorfer

What was that man dreaming of, the one who played the saxophone the other night? When he finally wakes up, we’ll ask him – though it’s unlikely he’ll ever reply. And if by any chance he were willing to answer, he might say: "Nothing that I can remember, because nothing ever happens in my dreams."

This is the second in a series of eight easy, acoustic, rather short, and deliberately inconclusive tracks, assembled by combining new ideas with reworked older material, adding parts and sounds along the way.

Where are You

Where are You.

This is part of the soundtrack I was writing many years ago for our videogame Cardhalia. Dwundur was a main city in the game. We were making the game with friends as kids, unfortunately it was never released. I have written the first 40 seconds of this piece when I was 16yo and then couldn't figure out how to continue with it. It was a nice challenge to return to this piece and "finish" it after almost 30 years later. With nowadays tools it is so much easier, with proper DAW and instrument libraries (and skills and experience). This is Spitfire Symphony Orchestra and PianoTeq. I mean, I'm no master, just a plain amateur, but it is such a fun to play with all the instruments of the full orchestra!

Trumpets of Dwundur

Without a doubt, my most meaningful performance was playing the piano for my mother at the end of her life. Over nine months, she fought an aggressive cancer that stole her speech, leaving us with a great struggle to communicate. At that point in time, music became our language. As I played her favorite songs during my visits, we would share memories woven into the melodies without saying a word. The music brought her peace and it was a balm for our hearts.

This story, however, isn't about sadness; it's about the profound power of music. While music may not solve every problem, it can offer comfort, lift spirits, relieve stress, and help us shift our focus on difficult days. The joy of music is felt by both the listener and the musician sharing their gift. It is the unique power of music that inspired this composition. While lyrics are not yet finished, the opening line defines the central theme: "Grey skies loom, and storms are on the way.  But for now, I think, I'm gonna sing myself a better day."*

To everyone who shares their music here, thank you! Your music truly makes a difference.

A Better Day

Synchromysticism

As if in Dreams

If only there would be no limits in our daily lives. No obligations, no everyday pointless hunt for money, no "musts" or "have tos". I would never leave my humble studio ever again. But I guess I would have no money then to purchase all those wonderful toys I can play with. Like this one. Audio Imperia did a wonderful 80% off-sale as a 10 year anniversary celebration over this summer, so I also made myself happy and got all of their treasures. This track is a deadly combo of Nucleus + Jaeger + Areia + Chorus. The sound coming out of these instruments is just ... stunning! I wish I could be a better composer/sound engineer to make it shine better. But playing with it is an incredible healing process, so it is compensating nicely with all the downsides of normal life.

Sky Is Not The Limit

Brass, drums, reverb. Anything more? Maybe a bit of a madness. I think I need to produce track like this from time to time, to release tension. Let the darkness do its thing so the light can take over next time.

Glimpse of Brass Madness

Sinfonie Nr.1 „OSTWALD", Satz Nr.6 (M:KR 2021)

The time

“Pavane of Memories” is a beautifully crafted orchestral variation by David Wood for the Nexa Music Orchestra, inspired by Maurice Ravel’s beloved Mother Goose Suite — specifically the “Pavane of Sleeping Beauty.” This new interpretation preserves the gentle, dreamlike character of Ravel’s original while expanding it into a fresh emotional landscape. Soft strings, delicate woodwinds, and graceful harmonic shifts give the piece a nostalgic, cinematic quality, blending classical tradition with modern creativity.
A thoughtful and moving reimagining, “Pavane of Memories” highlights the Nexa Music Orchestra’s dedication to artistic innovation within the virtual classical world.

Pavane of Memories

Music is the greatest human invention, the only language that speaks to us all. It would be a shame not to share my share. Just for fun, just for mere survival of one man's mind. Thank you for listening!
