Positive Compulsion

In 410 A.C. Romans left the rule of Britain. The date and the reasons are still and always a matter of debate among historians; however, in 2010, when it may have been 1600 years since that event and to commemorate it, 500 lighthouses were lit along the route of Hadrian's Wall, from east to west (cover image).
The first draft of the track is not recent (I didn't like it so much) and can be found here: https://soundcloud.com/michele-ansani/departure-from-britannia. I recovered audio material that I had discarded at the time (recording quality not optimal) and added some stuff.
Vocals by Ginevra Ansani and Arthouse Acoustic (samples). Flute by Trey Eley (Soul Surplus samples).

Departure from Britannia (final version) *

This song was originally intended to be sung. In the end we were unable to match the meaning of the lyrics with that of the music. Pefhaps one day we will take it up again. In the meantime, here is the instrumental version.

Where I´m Going?

'Wishful Thinking' is is a mixed genre track of easy listening, ambience and soundscape. I've called it Ambient Fusion for the sake of a Genre.....

Eternal Voyage is my attempt to capture that feeling we all know of sitting on a long train ride, headphones on, staring out the window as the world passes by. Fields, trees, cities, people, nature… all blending together while the music carries you somewhere else.  

I’ve done this countless times myself, and I wanted to put that emotion into a song. It’s about that special kind of daydreaming where the music feels like your travel companion.  

It’s also the kind of track you can fall asleep to in the same way I’ve often replayed a song after a journey, lying in bed and drifting off while imagining I was still traveling. That’s what Eternal Voyage is about, the soundtrack to those quiet, endless journeys in our imagination.

Samhain ( Feuertanz )

Hello! I’m a university professor of history who enjoys playing guitar and piano/keyboard, and occasionally composing — unpretentiously, just for fun.
Most of my recordings (made with a KorgD8, Audacity, and more recently Reaper for MIDI and the Spitfire Audio libraries) are entirely homemade and decidedly imperfect.
My music includes old songs (all written back in the last century; here I’ve only shared the ones I’ve reworked in recent years) as well as both old and new instrumentals — usually in several versions, some of which eventually disappear because they’re simply unlistenable.

Thanks for stopping by and giving something a listen; in the description you’ll often find explanatory notes or translations of the lyrics.
Here I’ve discovered a community of talented musicians and songwriters, and plenty of beautiful music to enjoy. Whenever I like, comment, or repost a track, it’s always the result of attentive listening. For the same reason, I’m not interested in trading empty “likes” without real engagement, and I won’t reply to messages from would-be promoters — follower counts don’t matter to me in the slightest.

By popular demand (well, actually just my daughter’s — she insists it’s the “cooler” platform), I’ve finally started putting some of my music on Spotify too...

Update (2024, September 9). Completed the "AI & (fake) songwriting project". Here: https://soundcloud.com/mick-hansan 

P.S.: A prayer, a humble request to those who publish songs: use the description area to make the lyrics available... This would make listening to them more complete and enjoyable!
