Original music by Aurora

This is the second time I tried to sing on a postrock/ambient song and write some lyrics and vocals for it. I really love this genre and especially the music from the band Aurora is so inspiring. I'm grateful I got permission to share this.
 
Check out the music from Alex Cher (band Aurora and solo project Vimanika), he's a musical genius in my view! :)

Also his band Mareo is amazing

Lyrics
I can be the birds in the sky
I can be the trees and the hills
smell the heat of a fire
Come on wake me up wake me up
I can be dirt and the desert
Could be dew on a leave
I can feel it all in a second
Come on wake me up wake me up

Wake Me Up (original music by Aurora - Bright Lanterns Flash)

Guitarist/Songwriter that writes, records, performs, mixes and masters all my own music.

Some Synths and all Drums programmed from scratch by me.

I'm a genuine Guitarist/Musician that's strongly against A.I. music being passed off as someone's own work.

here you will find music composed and played exclusively for myself, for my soul. No compromise with fashions and trends, no pre-established adherence to a musical style.
I grew up with 80's music and then deviated towards metal....so...what we are today reflects our thoughts of yesterday

-Boston Area storytelling.  Remember you are only a true artist if you recognize the genius in somebody's else's work. Keep your ears open there is genius all around us.

I'm a singer song writer.  I hope you like my songs!! These are all demo songs, short versions.

MUSIC BIO FOR DR. WALLY J. BARTFAY
Dr. Wally Bartfay is a retired Professor and former Associate Dean (August, 2024) for the Faculty of Health Sciences at Ontario Tech University in Oshawa, Ontario, Canada.  He was also affectionately known as the “Rock N’ Prof” by his students because he often played original songs that he has written prior to the commence of lectures to create certain vibes and buzzes in his classes. His music has appeared on Euro Indie Music Chart lists top 1; World Indie Music Chart lists top 1 and 2; BWNR music list top 5, and the US Top 20 Show- Weekly Pulse of Music at No. 18. In 2024, he had 3 No. 1 Indie hits on the Euro Indie Network Music Charts and World Indie Top 100 Music Chart lists with collaborator Stephen Wrench: 1. You're My Beautiful; 2. Little Sunshine Girl and 3. Cherry Hill Gal.  Stephen has been a 6x Grammy Awardee and has won over 50 Gold and Platinum records throughout his career journey that spans 5 decades now. 
I have been invited to appear on several radio stations, music podcasts, YouTube music channels and interviews with music magazines during the past year.  Examples include B-line Entertainment; Phil Kratz Radio Show; Blackdog Indie Country Radio; James Cox Show; Empowerment Divas Network; The Anything Goes Podcast with Duzzy Clayton; Curtis Johnson Music Podcase; Kayden Gordon Show- Today’s Best Country Mix; Radio interview on the Jeff Rickett Show, Country KIX 96.5 FM; Paul Mash TV; Playin’ On Music Row with Fran, and an interview with Fanbase Music Magazine to name but a few.
Ever since Wally was a little lad, he wanted to play the electric guitar and make music that creates smiles on people’s faces. He can remember playing his imaginary electric "air guitar" in his parents’ basement to various rock and country songs for hours on end. He got his first guitar when he turned 14 after taking on various odds jobs including pumping gas on weekends and cutting lawns.  He quickly learned to play it on his very own, along with several other instruments. Wally has also done research related to the benefits of music therapy as a nonpharmacological intervention with patients with Alzheimer’s disease and other forms of dementia.  He got interested in researching the clinical benefits of music as medicine after his father was diagnosed with vascular dementia following a series of strokes that left him bed bound in a nursing home.  Ironically, this is the same nursing home that he used to put on volunteer Christmas concerts for during his youth in his community. He is passionate about song writing and his songs often reflect personal experiences and challenges that he has faced over the years. Each song contains components of his genuine lived experiences, heart, and soul as an artist.

Hi listeners, 

I started writing music after my father died in 2003. Suddenly there was music in my head and it helped me to deal with a lot of dark phases in my life. After some years I found soundcloud and started sharing my ideas about 15 years ago. 

There are so many incredibly talented musicians and songwriters here - it still makes me speechless! I met so many wonderful people from all over the world and got the chance to collaborate with a lot of them. I'm forever grateful for these precious experiences!  

If you want to know anything or want to collaborate, please feel free to contact me! 

Thank you! ❤️

Silent Current creates ambient electronic soundscapes inspired by the stillness and flow of Nordic nature. Blending organic textures with subtle rhythms, the music moves like a quiet current beneath the surface — calm, deep, and reflective.

Eclectic artist with diverse musical tastes.
