I Looked Beyond

The Pièces froides are two sets of piano pieces composed in March 1897 by Erik Satie. Unpublished until 1912 when Ravel played them publicly, they marked Satie's break from the mystical-religious music of his Rosicrucian and Gymnopodies period (1891–95), and were a harbinger of his humoristic piano suites of the 1910s. 

The title Pièces froides, translated as Cold Rooms or Cold Cuts, is a punning allusion to the dire poverty Satie experienced during his last years living in Montmartre. In July 1896, he had been forced to move into an unheated ground floor closet (he called it a "cupboard”. The space was so small that Satie's camp bed all but blocked the door shut, and on frigid nights he kept warm by sleeping fully dressed with the rest of his clothing piled on top of him.

This the second of the two cold pieces: Danses de travers (Crooked Dances)
1. En y regardant à deux fois (Give it a good look)
2. Passer (Go on)
3. Encore (Again)

Here i've arranged the original solo piano for 2 classical guitars, 12-string, celeste, woodwinds & strings.

Thank you Peter, Debra, and Arne for this moment to ponder "Life's Silhouette" together but from different vantage points. 

Silhouette

Like the fjord, edging my eye
Material reward can pass me by.
Ice to sea, slowly but sure,
Floating free, flowing pure.
Whispered smile, bears no regret,
Ponder a while, on life’s silhouette.

Solace of breeze, whiffles my hair.
All at ease, by waters fair.
Mirrored of cloud, sparkled of sun,
Where two is a crowd, I’ve a table for one.
Nature’s fine art, devoid of defect,
Embraces my heart, through life’s silhouette.

Treasured time, in mind’s recall.
Love sublime, in its rise and fall.
Flickered glints from glistened waves
Fall distinct, and light the way.
As morning rays shall yet reflect,
Of peaceful days in life’s silhouette.

Silhouette.  Debra Buesking. 1234567890. Oddrun Eikli.

Shining Star

Well hey now
have you ever just had enough
And hey now
Has it ever become too much

Dig deep, deep down inside
Feel the spark that keeps you alive

Be the one you are
See what you are

A shining star
That’s what you are
A shining star

In every beat of the heart
Is a testament to the part
Of the role we all play
Signed in D-N-A
Coursing through our veins
As foretold
It unfolds

So now, right now
Feel the wonder all around you
And now, right now
Know the mystery that surrounds you

Dig deep, deep down inside
Feel the spark that keeps you alive

Be the one you are
See what you are

A shining star
That’s what you are
Yea
Shining star
That’s what you are
Whoa oh
Whoa oh
Ahh

The City of Magically

Piano Sonata No. 10

Cogito Vestrum - The Day After
when a heart falls silent, one that walked beside you for so long.
When the place once filled with life now echoes with absence.
When even the wind seems to whisper,
because silence suddenly says everything.

“The Day After” is a musical farewell.
A journey through emptiness, memory, and grief –
for any soul that once brought light
and now lives on within our hearts.

A continuation of Cogito Vestrum –
a quiet tribute to the beings who touched our lives
and left behind a soundless ache.

Part of the album Tides of Melancholy.
No AI.
Just feeling. Just music. Just truth.

Created with the following instruments:

EastWest Hollywood Strings: Chosen for their cinematic depth, creating grandeur and melancholy, perfectly expressing the contrast between loss and the lingering presence of loved ones.

Spitfire Audio Solo Violine: A solo violin that evokes vulnerability and sorrow, ideal for quiet moments of reflection and grief.

Virharmonic Bohemian Cello: With its warmth and expressiveness, it captures the human element of grief, adding depth and continuity as the cello’s voice lingers on.

Note: This track was entirely composed, performed, arranged, and produced by myself – without the use of artificial intelligence.
Creating authentic music with real emotion and personality is important to me. Thank you for listening and for your support.

Cogito Vestrum - Der Tag danach
wenn ein Herz schweigt, das dich so lange begleitet hat.
Wenn der Platz leer bleibt, an dem einst Leben war.
Wenn selbst der Wind zu flüstern scheint,
weil Stille plötzlich alles durchdringt.

„The Day After“ ist ein musikalischer Abschied.
Eine Reise durch Leere, Erinnerung und Trauer –
für jedes Wesen, das gegangen ist,
und doch in unserer Seele weiterklingt.

Die Fortsetzung von Cogito Vestrum –
ein stiller Tribut an all die Seelen,
die unser Leben berührt haben und uns fehlen.

Teil des Albums Tides of Melancholy.
Ohne KI.
Nur Gefühl. Nur Musik. Nur Wahrheit.

Erstellt mit den folgenden Instrumenten:

EastWest Hollywood Strings: Für cineastische Tiefe und Ausdruck von Verlust und bleibender Präsenz.

Spitfire Audio Solo Violine: Eine Solo-Violine, die tiefste Emotionen wie Trauer und Sehnsucht ausdrückt.

Virharmonic Bohemian Cello: Wärme und Ausdruckskraft, die das menschliche Element des Abschieds verstärken.

Hinweis: Dieser Track wurde vollständig von mir komponiert, aufgeführt, arrangiert und produziert – ohne den Einsatz künstlicher Intelligenz.
Echte Musik mit authentischen Emotionen und Persönlichkeit zu erschaffen, ist mir wichtig. Vielen Dank, dass du zugehört hast und für deine Unterstützung.

Cogito Vestrum - The Day After

'Dont Smudge The Ink' is an easy listening laid back track and soundscape.

Dont Smudge The Ink

Legacy Broken is a cinematic orchestral concept album that explores the psychological weight of legacy, family, and emotional silence. Blending restrained elegance with hypnotic minimalism, each track unfolds like a room in a haunted memory palace—echoes of conversations, legal inheritances, betrayals, and unresolved grief.

Muted strings, fractured piano motifs, trembling horns, and emotionally conflicted harmonic structures form a sonic language of unspoken tension and decaying tradition. The arrangements resist resolution, allowing silence, repetition, and space to carry as much meaning as melody.

This album is not just a score — it’s a portrait of inheritance, power, and the long shadows of memory. The finale song "Inheritance of Silence" concludes with a vocalized song about empty love, wealth and social responsibility. 

6. Haunted Memories
