Single (A-side) for Tower of the Ice Lich game coming soon to Steam: https://store.steampowered.com/app/3087730/Tower_of_the_Ice_Lich/. It's a retro game with retro music.
This is the credits track, with a monotonish dungdungdungdung DX7 bass and a vague, eerie Piano melody interspersed with Roland JX chords (both on a Jupiter X). The SFX come from a Korg Prologue 16 and Akai Pro Miniak. Lots of creepy echo and delay. Sort of mastered with Ozone, but kept a few cracks and pops for some extra retroness. In true retro-game style, it's loopable.

Cover art by Carl-Erik Engqvist of Sorchi Games.

They let me have a bit of synthwave here (bass and wait for the Jupiter chords). But also an awesome Roland RD piano with lots of reverb. Special effects from Roland and Akai Pro. Loopable in case you can't get enough of a single bass note on repeat.

File Updated: Two acoustic guitars added (feeler runs so there's mistakes🤸‍♀️Program that AI🖕).... One mostly single string lead and the other a picked rhythm. Extended the progression for a dancey end... Note-The idea of a 23 second phrase is born from my boss pedal maxing out at 22990ms... so that was the longest possible loop I could do with it. To do that essily I needed to work out the bpm to fill that 23 seconds. This was the original 23 therapy..https://soundcloud.com/thebeautifuldark/23-therapy Ot's a mostly acoustic electronic tune.
An interesting coincidence here... The bpm used is 167 (83.49bpm x 2 rounded off) and the original has 167 plays as of now.... Schweeeet
So in fact that rounding makes our duration a little less so we are a tad shy of 23 seconds...

For me its absolutley worth learning the relationship of time duration and bpm well. Music at the end of the day is maths so I do like being conscious of the time and symmetry technically as well as just feeling it... It's interesting and maybe gives you a different understanding and hopefully more original music from that...

This song began with sums... I wanted the phrase to be 23 seconds long. Do the maths and thats 83.49 bpm or 2875ms per bar. My DAW don't like bpm decimals so I used a string scratch looped on a delay pedal with 2875ms delay to find that 23 second phrase and then move on to make the idea... If all else... it's a different way to start a song

As a writing constraint and extra nugget I wrote Twenty Three Therapy down the side of he page first and used it to build the lines...


Lyrics 

Termed
We're sent a number
Ever MJ world in the head of this brother
New escapes we've learned
Twinned with hidden forte
You can choose not to learn the hard way

Too, I'd quite like to pick your mind
Hear all that's ahead
Real prescient sign

Lyrics

Great achievements
Humankind
Where, we came together
Where, one path to find
The path, It turns
Mind bends times
Blurring the clear way
Touring a trip
One holiday
At home in the cradle
Our marble space rolled
Warping fabric
We are Galactic Gold
Curators
The crux to explain
The flux as all pain
The answer for strife
'Made both polar mights
And meanwhile ..
There's this sound .. 
As Light 🕯️

I am still looking, trying and experimenting, I really like electronic ambient for many years, but it only works as a live percussionist. In short, nothing is black or white:)
In today's hectic world I need quiet sounds and the vast majority of songs created at night, so are my compositions such as they are.

My tracks is based on the absolute freedom of the use of sound. Arises as if I painted a picture. In the head is the base, and then adding the details here and there.
As well as if I were his music told the story.

I use: Ableton-Live-Suite with Partnerinstrumets, Kontakt Player + virtual instrumentzs,NI-Machine, Ableton Push, Acces Virus TI Snow, Waldorf Blofeld, AKAI MPK 49, Korg Microkorg XL+,KORG Kaossilator,Kaosspad,KORG Wavedrum, Roland HPD 20, nord lead A1 r, Yamaha mx49, Roland Edirol for Fieldrecordings - and various live percussion.(Kalimba, frame drum, tombak, koshi etc)
