Be Calm

Preorder CD | Digital: https://futuresequence.bandcamp.com/album/earthworks 

'Earthworks' is Thom Brookes' debut album as Drombeg, following his acclaimed EP ‘Notes From The Ocean Floor’ in 2015. A soundtrack for the middle-of-nowhere, the wild landscapes of Brookes' native Southern Ireland are littered with historic (Tumulus), and geological (Béarra) structures hardened under the relentless elements. Sinuous string melodies, and tender piano phrases reach like sunlight breaking through heavy clouds, blended with electronics and field recordings in careful balance to produce a rich cinematic sound.



Tumulus by Drombeg

An incredible journey into the jungle of feelings that intimately bind us to nature.

8DIO Pluguins: 
Agitato Legato

8dio Stand Out Contest Submission: "The Jungle" by Juriy Nikitin

This was composed as part of a selection of tracks to accompany the signing of the register at my daughter's wedding.

8Dio Adagietto string chords were improvised and then layered to give space then I improvised the Virharmonic Bohemian Violin over the top for the melody.

This is a track I themed in The Shannara Chronicles, really great music in that series, definitely has influenced some of my recent writing style, so has the show dark matter, great show as well.

8dio Stand Out Contest Submission 2016 LAND OF 8000 SOULS BY ROB DIGGY

Original song by Tears for Fears.

Lyrics:
All around me are familiar faces
Worn out places, worn out faces
Bright and early for the daily races
Going nowhere, going nowhere
Their tears are filling up their glasses
No expression, no expression
Hide my head I wanna drown my sorrow
No tomorrow, no tomorrow

And I find it kind of funny, I find it kind of sad
The dreams in which I'm dying are the best I've ever had
I find it hard to tell you, `cause I find it hard to take
When people run in circles, it's a very very
Mad world
Mad world

Children waiting for the day they feel good
Happy birthday, happy birthday
And to feel the way that every child should
Sit and listen, sit and listen
Went to school and I was very nervous
No one knew me, no one knew me
Hello teacher tell me what's my lesson
Look right through me, look right through me

And I find it kind of funny, I find it kind of sad
The dreams in which I'm dying are the best I've ever had
I find it hard to tell you, I find it hard to take
When people run in circles, it's a very very
Mad world
Mad world
Halargian world
Mad world

8Dio Studio Percussion Orchestral: ''Tibetan Plateau'' By Bob Dedes

A dramatic, yet emotional, cinematic track that could be used for "epic" movie trailers, TV spots, video game trailers or similar. The big climax also features a powerful female vocal line, intensifying the uplifting character of the piece's ending.

Mixing hybrid synth and orchestral elements, this piece has an interesting modern spin while also keeping an eye on the orchestral arrangements to evoke an emotional spin on the listener's side.

Secret Place

Human

brother
i can't push this barrel any farther
cause every single step is getting harder
when all our names keep turning into numbers

so what's next
are we stuck here?
can anyone repair the mess we've made
once bright
is now unclear
will every dream we hold start to fade?
will everything we built go to waste?
go to waste? 

worried
demons show their face when they get thirsty
and every single river's running empty
have we crossed the line of no returning

so what's next
are we stuck here?
can anyone repair the mess we've made
once bright
is now unclear
will every dream we hold start to fade?
will everything we built go to waste?
go to waste?

Waste?

A piece commissioned for a Dingle Distillery Commercial.

Spirit

somedays I don't wanna remember your face
but somehow I keep all of your pictures in place
when I couldn't speak
couldn't breathe
you'd pull the world right off my back
and put it in your hand

I'm out of order
without a quarter of you
I'm out of order
without a quarter of you
and I wanna fall asleep
forget everything
but I can't even dream without you
I'm out of order
without a quarter of you

somedays I don't wanna remember our road
but somehow my legs lead me to circle our home
when I couldn't speak
couldn't breathe
you'd pull the world right off my back
and put it in your hand

I'm out of order
without a quarter of you
I'm out of order
without a quarter of you
and I wanna fall asleep
forget everything
but I can't even dream without you
I'm out of order
without a quarter of you

out of order

NOMAD

Soft and calm instrumental music that comes with snowy winter Alps footage. Perfect as music for relaxing, studying, learning, thinking, or as background music while planing your next big thing, or simply for filling your room with calm and positive ambient music. 

I captured the footage during a walk through the Gauertal, Vorarlberg in Austria in March 2013. You can watch my "Postcard from the Alps" here: https://relaxdaily.net/video-n066/

Hope you enjoy both, the music and the vid, 
Michael (relaxdaily musician)
