Really nice buildup. I like the trumpets.

It's a very beautiful composition, well constructed and the sound is really excellent 🔥!

I'll put every contest, challenges or competitions here. Note that most of these will have restrictions or limitations on composition and will probably not be as good sounding as my own compositions ;)

Composing Challenges and Competitions

Thank you as always for your listening time and thoughts - it drives us all.  And this most incredible of valleys is in the Lauterbrunnen Valley in Switzerland - taken from Wengen.

Daemonic Whispers - Crow Hill Company's Pocket Strings Composing Challenge

Crow Hill Company's Bridge Guitar Composing Challenge 
Prompt: Compose 30 – 60 seconds of ‘daytime/reality TV underscore’ using only Bridge Guitar from their free instruments

Video link : https://www.instagram.com/reel/DMt0ZBYtbM2/?igsh=MXQ0bWt6MHFqdzhxbQ==

Honestly composing using only plucks and a single instrument for another style completely was though. I had in mind the Intro title-sequence of a regular daily tv-serie. 

Feel free to tell me what you think about it :) this isn't an elaborate work, mostly just for fun.

you have liberty

My interpretation of Danny Elfman’s iconic opener from The Nightmare Before Christmas. This version amplifies the rhythmic menace while keeping the mischievous charm intact - a playful march through the foggy streets of Halloween Town with a modern electro symphonic pulse

This is Halloween

A song about using my defense mechanism of humor to avoid conflict and achieve romance. Dedicated to class clowns everywhere.
Sorry I've been off SC lately, I've been taking care of a few things.

Lyrics:
I was just having a drink
In a bar on the rough side of town
Yeah, minding my own business
And these tough guys come up to me
They say: "Hey, we're tough guys."
"we don't like you drinking sparkling Chablis,"

Well, I had a real good read on the situation
I've got the gift of gab (talk) from my Dad
I'm a samurai of summation
I buy my sarcasm firsthand

I said: Gentlemen, may  I suggest a truce?
Let me be the peacemaker and buy you a bottle of booze
Then I got loose
I left them with a bill
For a three hundred dollar
Bottle of Chartruse

Oh, I listened to what my Mama say
You're gonna have to fight those boys someday
But if you use your brain
Then you'll find another way
Fight back, hit em in the funny bone (3X)
Funny bone

I was a young undergrad
A full-time miscreant
A part-time handsome man
I needed to get the attention of the ladies
But I wasn't that good-looking
But I knew what I had

I had a good read on the situation
I have the gift of gab from my Dad
I'm a samurai of summation
I buy my sarcasm firsthand

I listened to what my Mama say
If those girls don't give you the time of day
You're gonna have to use your brain
Then you'll find another way 
Step back, appeal to her funny bone (3X)
Funny bone

attack of the Cyber Singularity

Evocation d'un paysage imaginaire et mystérieux dans la clarté du matin (Evocation of an imaginary and mysterious landscape in the morning light).

Dans la Clarté de l'Aube

You just stand there (Piano Version) is the reduced, intimate version of my epic track DestKorn – You just stand there, released on Saturday, November 1, 2025.
In fact, the piano version came first, and from it the vocal version evolved - Link: https://soundcloud.com/destkorn/you-just-stand-there
No orchestra, no vocals – just one piano.

Performed on the legendary NOIRE piano (Native Instruments, VST), a custom grand recorded in Hall 3 at Funkhaus Berlin. The sound moves between “Pure” (clear, present) and “Felt” (soft, muted, almost like a whisper), so every note sits right in front of you.

The mood is vulnerable, reflective, but not without hope. The piano quietly says: “You just stand there,” and the melody drifts through sadness, closeness, fragility, and small traces of light. A lot of space, a lot of air, no distraction.

Musical style: minimalist solo piano with a cinematic feel. No beats, no layering – just keys, played slowly on purpose so every tone can breathe.

What is this track for?
For late hours. For thinking. For that moment where you don’t want words, only feeling.

🎧 Piano: NOIRE (Pure / Felt)
🎹 Tempo: 60 BPM
🎵 Genre: Cinematic / Emotional Piano

Deutsch / German
You just stand there (Piano Version) ist die reduzierte, intime Ausgabe meines  Tracks – You just stand there vom Samstag, 1. November 2025.
Eigentlich ist die Piano-Version zuerst entstanden / daraus entwickelte sich dann die Version mit Gesang - Link: https://soundcloud.com/destkorn/you-just-stand-there
Kein Orchester, kein Gesang – nur ein einzelnes Klavier.

Gespielt auf dem legendären NOIRE Piano (Native Instruments), einem speziell präparierten Konzertflügel aus Saal 3 des Berliner Funkhauses. Dieser Klang wechselt zwischen „Pure“ (klar, präsent) und „Felt“ (weich, gedämpft, fast flüsternd) und bringt jede Nuance direkt an die Oberfläche.

Die Stimmung ist verletzlich, nachdenklich, aber nicht hoffnungslos. Das Piano spricht leise: „Du stehst einfach da“ – und trotzdem wandert die Melodie durch Traurigkeit, Nähe, Zerbrechlichkeit und kleine Lichtpunkte. Viel Raum, viel Luft, keine Ablenkung.

Musikalischer Stil: minimalistisches Solo-Piano mit filmischem Charakter. Keine Beats, keine Layer, nur Tasten – bewusst langsam gespielt, damit jede Note wirken kann.

Wofür ist der Track gedacht?
Für ruhige Momente. Nachts allein. Zum Durchatmen. Für Szenen im Kopf, die eigentlich kein Wort vertragen. Genau dafür existiert diese Version.

you just stand there (Piano Version)

I was recently on holiday in Lanzarote and i was caught in a Rip Tide. A really scary experience and i am very glad that i lived to tell the tale. I was only about 2 feet from the shore and i could not reach the shore because of the power of the Rip Tide, no matter how hard i swam, i was certainly drowning. All of a sudden a young local man saw that i was in danger and with no regard for his own life just jumped right in and somehow managed to get me to the shore. It was a truly heroic act on his part. It took me about 45 mins to get myself together from the shock and the Adrenaline. I found him and thanked him and i am ashamed to say that i do not even know his name. Thank you .

When i was reflecting on this experience i realised that life is like a Rip Tide. It pulls you out to sea and sometime we really do need someone to Literally jump in and save us, or throw us a life buoy to get us to safety. This song is about being caught in the Rip Tide of life and dedicated to the young man who saved my life . 

Written and performed by Johnny Mc Farlane
