I love this instruments and this celtic sound, so unique. Love stuff like this

Love this way this moves from intimate to orchestral

Lovely orchestration. I really liked the instruments.

This track, titled as a pun that King Crimson's fans could like or maybe dislike, has been built using a single phrase of a sound source coming from a living being. Everything generates and revolves from and around it. at 3:00, that building block is clearly revealed (although some of its constitutive elements have appeared scattered here and there before, and the seed will reappear several times until the end).
This has been created motivated by the Disquiet Junto Project 0504: Transform Formula
The Assignment: Take a sound, change it, and contrast that with the original.

Larks' tones gymnastics (disquiet0504)

i reworked this song, I never really finished it when i posted it, i just kind of wanted to move on. This is a better song now.. I still can't get the vocals to sound right.. 
NOTE: I remixed this song, was able to get the pops and crackles out of the vocals

The evening fog had come, floating softly from the sea
and turned the world into a dream, where there is only you and me
when long ago we walked this shore,
and we had it all, but nothing more
not a memory you would keep
but it was everything to me

now time has burned away the fog, and we’ve come back to this place 
the silver sea and midnight sky underneath the milky way
but something’s lost along the way
where the water meets the sky so far away
it’s an illusion of the sea
they never really come to be

all I ever wanted, everything I thought I needed
I hoped to find in your heart     
If all of this meant nothing
then we’ve wasted all our time
We tried to be something we’re not
The same mistakes we’re making
The same bad road we’re taking 

It washes over me 
this is real, and not my dream
Let this be, go and find the one you need,
Who loves you for the things they see
Not what I want you to be
Not what you want me to be…

What I Wanted You To Be

Such an honor to be invited again to collaborate with Seagull, a wonderful musician and creator who challenges me to reach beyond my usual genre of music to add to his.  This time it is to join him in a place of rest for the heart away from the turmoil that fills the headlines.  We ask you to join us too for a few brief minutes.
More of Seagull's lovely music can be heard @farout-music-studio

When it was possible

This track  is a collaboration between Mono-Orbit and the poet Jo Richter  @sonic-textures. 
We would like to thank Jo for his imaginative works that continue to drive the Mono 'incarnations' into new areas of creativity.

Poem by Jo refers to the Long Man of Wilmington, a hill figure in East Sussex, England…
“So this is the infamous Voyager plate
That scholars cannot accommodate?
Before foregoes after, yet left mirror right?
Minds imprint relates to retinal light
As here to beyond, this world to the other
As any relation does
Oh, why bother dimensions
Those indicative cats.
Windover Hill never returns.
Do Vitruvian circles align or encapsulate man?
The inside knows not what it reads on the cover”

Song “The Long Man” written by folk singer Maria Cunningham in 1966…
“Keeping watch from Windover Hill
The green man stands so tall and still
Carved from the turf by the ancient ones
His mystery through the ages runs
Some say with rake and scythe he stands
In readiness to till the land
Or does he hold back winter’s doors
To welcome summer’s sun once more
Though his purpose is lost in a distant age
And history turns another page
The power and mystery cling to him still
As he keeps his secret on Windover Hill”

Enchantment

A dreamy piece by Hossein Doshvargard , Delicate like blossoms ! just close your eyes & feel falling petals around you !

Cherry Blossoms

An Irish-tinged tune about the Lindisfarne Gospels to reflect the Irish foundations of the community despite the later Romanisation of the Celtic church. 

The track title comes from me thinking about it being a beacon of civilisation, a rallying point, during the Early Middle Ages whist a far chunk of the UK was under Viking rule and Christianity had again been pushed to the margins of the UK.

Thanks to Karen O'Mahony (MonnoDB) for her (harp playing) advice - check out her stuff here:- https://soundcloud.com/monnodb

This track is now part of "The Pilgrims Way Project" exploring the history and natural world of Lindisfarne

Background
The Lindisfarne Gospels is an illuminated manuscript gospel book probably produced around the years 715-720 in the monastery at Lindisfarne, off the coast of Northumberland, which is now in the British Library in London. The manuscript is one of the finest works in the unique style of Hiberno-Saxon or Insular art, combining Mediterranean, Anglo-Saxon and Celtic elements.

The Lindisfarne Gospels are presumed to be the work of a monk named Eadfrith, who became Bishop of Lindisfarne in 698 and died in 721 AD

A Light In The Darkness

A collection of songs, instrumentals and orchestral pieces charting my adventures in home studio recording and production.  All original compositions using voice, acoustic and electric guitar (sometimes using altered tunings), bouzouki, low and high whistles and MIDI instrumentation. 

I'm also using VST instrumentation to create classical compositions and integrating orchestral sounds into my songs and instrumentals.
