Really cinematic! I always love listening to the concept of time  though music. I was listening and watching the shadows of the train moving slowly, I felt like in a movie 

This is a lovely piece. You are a very talented conposure. Really love it!

wow....im speechless! This is truly a work of art!

beautiful exploration of time on music, wonderfully composed 😊

The strings tug at my heart strings, full of expression. A pleasure to listen!

An occasional series of orchestral pieces created in response to sets of words 'from out of the ether' that feel they suggest reaching out to explore the spaces beyond everyday experience.

1) In Your Dreams - an Orchestral Mystery

Another tick of the clock,
one moment follows another,
But is there space outside reality ?

The beat goes on,
incessant and unceasing.
But while you sleep do you live another lifetime ?

... in your dreams ?

MrBouzouki - Nov 2020
----------------------------------------------------------------------
2)The Half Open Door - to go Beyond

The door is ajar,
a simple push is all it takes,
but dare you step through ?

Heroes, poets and fools have forever wondered
if a new world awaits you ...

through the half open door

MrBouzouki - Oct 2021
----------------------------------------------------------------------
3)The Cascade - A Trip Through Time 

From first cry, to last breath,
our thoughts and feelings form 
the cascade we call life.

Day after day, hour after hour,
some grow stronger, whilst others fade,
an endless wave to journeys end
and in the end ...

are we but just a memory ?

The door is ajar,
a simple push is all it takes,
but dare you step through ?

Heroes, poets and fools have forever wondered
if a new world awaits you ...

MrBouzouki - Oct 2021

Background
This track appeared as a result of some words in October 2021 that followed on from a similar set of words from 2020. In both cases, they acted as a catalyst for a relatively short orchestral piece piece. So now I have a new series to develop over time entitled 'Metaphysical'.

Again, I feel they are suggesting reaching out to explore the space beyond everyday experience. We really do not know what is on the other side of so many things, trapped by our senses and time itself. But are we  ..... lol

Background

This track appeared as a result of some words created in December 2021, that followed on from similar set of words in the Metaphysical series.  As before, the words acted as a catalyst for a the orchestral piece. This track is now track three  of the ongoing 'Metaphysical' series.

This track has taken quite a while to arrive but I've finally got an ending I'm relatively happy with. Talking of the ending. it does feature a 'book-end' moment right at at the end that might be distressing to some. You have been warned. 

I must admit I quite like the idea of life being a collection of flowing and interlocking feelings and memories. I also felt I had to have the cry of a baby and a last breath to book-end this track.

Background 
This track developed from playing a simple arpeggio that you can hear in the pizzicato strings. It ended up examining the space beyond the norm ... lol

Anyway, an interesting little project and the words that arrived from the 'ether'  acted as a catalyst for the music. I'm quite enjoying using orchestral instruments in my storytelling at the moment.

In Your Dreams - An Orchestral Mystery

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.

Links to various instrumental projects and other Social Media links are available below.
