Desert Dreams by Starflake Project

Currently on a break from SoundCloud due to real life getting in the way.  Should be back in 2025.

Please have a listen to some of my music and leave a comment or two to let me know what you think.  If you would like to be notified about new tracks, please send a note to me.      

My main influences range from Electronic Music (Jarre, Vangelis, and Tangerine Dream) to Rock, Pop, and Orchestral (Classical and Soundtracks), but also include an occasional bit of Hip Hop, EDM and Dubstep.   I have not tried to imitate any of these artists.  I am experimenting in various genres to find what I like most about each one and see what I can learn from them to add to my personal style.   'Slam-Cut' is a film term for quick jump cuts without much set up.  This is analogous to the variety of genres and themes you might encounter here on my SC page.   I hope you enjoy listening.

I hope that people will only follow me because they want to hear the music posted here and not to try to get a 'follow-back' in the game of increasing followers.  I would prefer to have quality over quantity.  Don't feel obligated to follow me back just because I followed you.  If I followed you that means I want to hear your music.  It's that simple.  Feel free to send a message to me.  Most of the people on SC are pretty friendly.  If you have a new track that you want me to listen to please send a link in a message.  
Thanks for listening!

Bakom Code Lion står Thomas Morin. Han är bosatt och verksam i Sundsvall. 

Han började sina första musikskaparsteg i slutet på 80-talet. Den syntbaserade musiken som dök upp på radio och tv fascinerade honom mycket. När han köpte sin allra första keyboard - en enklare variant med minitangenter - fick han äntligen möjlighet att försöka spela själv utifrån allt inspirerande han hörde.

Mellan åren 1990-1995 producerade Thomas en stor mängd låtar och låtidéer. Allt samlades på flertalet kassettband. Han ägde ingen dator på den tiden så han fick kreativt försöka sätta ihop sina alster med hjälp av en keyboard (med många inbyggda ljud) och en vanlig dubbelkassettbandspelare.
   - Tålamodskrävande men ändå jätteroligt, beskriver han processen.
   Han försökte också nå ut med ett antal låtar, först på kassettband och senare på CD. Han nådde dock aldrig den större publiken, samtidigt som han fick fler intressen osv.  

Från 2016 och framåt har musikskapandet åter tagit över och är numer det han satsar helhjärtat på. Thomas beskriver sin musik som elektronisk med dragning mot främst syntpop och trance. Han lyssnar själv på många olika sorters musik och hittar inspiration på flera håll.

Han drömmer om att längre fram även få producera musik för reklamfilm, dator- och mobilspel och kanske också för kortare filmprojekt m.m.
   -  Jag ser musikskapandet som ett brett projekt där jag även är öppen för att skapa musik för andra, menar han.
