Really reminds me of Steve Howe, great intro, thrilling

Definitely sounds like a movie intro, so so cool

Oh boy really reminds me of Moody Blues in here

Superbe. Especially in the sequence you created.

Hello maestro. :) This piece really transports me!  It's a Real Beauty. Bravo, and here's to 'The Music'!  Cheers! :-D

Beautiful flutes, so soothing to the soul

Careful With That Stinger Eugene

Surprise! 🥳 I'm rapping with TKJ (@the_king_of_the_jungle), aka my 14 yo son! He did everything, except for the beat and my vocals, of course. And believe me, he wasn’t easy to please...he had me doing a hundred takes until he was finally satisfied with me. 🤯

Check out his music here: https://on.soundcloud.com/DqzmgJF33AEubU5b7 
Show him some love and let him know who the real King of the Jungle is! 🦁👑

Psycho On The Phone (with TKJ, aka my son)

The Traveller

Dive into the explosive depths of "Alchemical [Inferno]," a heavy metal anthem that fuses blistering instrumentals with haunting historical echoes. Featuring visceral guitar riffs and thunderous drums, Jason Langvee delivers a relentless sonic assault that captures the chaos and urgency of our modern age.

The track weaves in powerful recordings of Reagan, Bush Jr., Obama, and Trump, each politician’s voice cutting through the fray with urgent pleas to confront the looming threat of nuclear warfare. These stark reminders of our past collide with Langvee's raw energy, creating a chilling tapestry of sound that challenges listeners to reflect on the fragility of peace.

As the song builds to a cataclysmic crescendo, it serves as a clarion call—urging us to confront the "Alchemical Inferno" of our choices and the volatile path we tread. With its mix of historical gravity and unrelenting metal fury, this track is a poignant exploration of power, fear, and the quest for redemption in a world on the brink.

Alchemical [Inferno]

Patrick/DjArtw2001 (@djartw2007) and I are glad to present our new track, "Early Morning". It is an extended collaborative version of my original composition released about a week ago, "Thinking of You" (https://soundcloud.com/alexander-mihailov-96713983/thinking-of-you).

The initial track was composed in GarageBand iOS spontaneously in the early morning of 19 September 2024, then mixed and arranged in Logic Pro on 29 September 2024 and released by Alex M here on SoundCloud on 19 October 2024. The subsequent composition by Patrick/DjArtw2001 as well as the accelerated tempo and the final arrangement and mix for the collaborative version was completed on 19 October 2024 in MAGIX.

The artwork cover uses a photo I took on 26 October 2024 (in the autumn forests near Marlborough, Wiltshire, South England) and annotated with text in MacOS Preview on 27 October 2024.

Duration: 6:44

Happy Homecoming

RATTLESNAKE

Autumnal strumming, full (as usual) of imperfections.
I've been turning around this track for years, hope I've put a stop to it.
What is not guitar or bass, is only crowding of thoughts and voices in the head of the sitting man.

Lindisfarne has always held a special fascination for my wife and I, so it is no surprise to me that I would eventually create some music about it. Hopefully you can be swept away by the music but not the tide ;-)

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

Background
Ever since 635, when King Oswald gave the Holy Island of Lindisfarne to St Aidan to establish his monastery, the island has been a place of pilgrimage. The road was not constructed until 1954 and until then the vertical poles were the only indicators of the safe route between the mainland and island. The sight of the poles stretching across the sand and mud is one of the most iconic views in Northumberland and to walk the route away from the road and follow in the footsteps of our medieval ancestors is a wonderful experience.

The Pilgrims Way

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.

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

Semi-Finalist in the Instrumental category in the UK Songwriting Contest 2018

With The North Shore I hope to give a feel of that 'magical interface' between land and sea, a place apart from the hustle and bustle of life where your soul can find peace for a while. A natural world full of wonder for those with the time and inclination to see.

Background
The 'semi-hidden' North Shore of Lindisfarne is driven past by tourists every day, eager to see the 'sites' of the Island in their race against time before the tide cuts them off from the mainland. It is part of the Lindisfarne Natural Nature Reserve and its shifting sands and tides combine to create the 3500 hectares of dunes, saltmarsh and mudflats of the Reserve, home to a fascinating array of birdlife, seals, rare orchids and other wildlife. To experience it you need to spend time on the island, either by choosing to be cut off by an early tide or ideally stay on the island for a while.

The North Shore

Celtic Starise- Voices From The Past

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.

I love experimenting with words and sound.  I might be looking to collaborate with a musician as my strengths lie in lyrics (and melody at times).  Not only do I write lyrics out of my head, but I also love to write to existing music, though the process for that takes me a bit more time.  I do sing, but want what is best for the song, so I'm open to others singing the songs as well.  I've had only one collaboration where my collaborator put music to an existing a capella posting and I was blown away by the skill.  Not something I've seen often, but would love to connect with someone willing to do that.  I lean toward topics that touch everyday lives, surround relationship with God, people, emotions and sometimes songs with comical flair--depending on how the mood strikes.  That being said, I have to repeatedly listen to a musical piece before deciding what it speaks and it is usually the music that dictates the mood and therefore the topic of the lyrics.  I do prefer to become familiar with how my collaborator prefers to work--whether they are looking at a quick turn-around time, if they allow for time, what agreements, etc.  before proceeding with collaborations, but I am always looking for a longer-term collaboration partner.  My preference is to work with another female.   Most of my lyrics haven't been shared in music form because they would all be a capella and I just don't want to post them that way, so I'm hoping for a great collaboration partnership to eventually  reveal itself.  Message me on soundcloud if you have an interest in collaborating.
