Long time ago in the Scottish Highlands. A tribe that lives in a rough and harsh surrounding, strengthened over generations by the unfriendly environment. The borders of the tribes territory are not exactly known. In particular, in the North, the saying goes that vast areas of unoccupied lands will belong to those that first dare to claim it. So a small troup of currageous military men sets foot to the Northern Frontier ...

Composition-wise: The piece explores the change of atmosphere when the same motive is played with different accompaniments. The same theme can be found for instance @ 0:00 ff,  0:23 ff and 1:05 ff. The accompaniment increases in intensity and rhythm for these three instances, ranging from a meditative intro over a – to my ears – tribal dance or chant towards a first  climax of the piece which might make a good soundtrack for a battle in the Scottish Highlands. The track then settles down to the second theme @ 1:33 which again is repeated with much more agitated accompaniment @ 1:55 ff. 

While the track is in general in 4/4, it raises the tension by sometimes breaking the metrum into more unconventional rhythmic structures. This holds in particular for @ 0:46 ff where the metrum changes to a succession of ¾, 4/4, ¾, 6/4, 6/4, 4/4, ¾, 4/4, ¾, ¾, ¾ and then reverts to the original 4/4. Also @ 2:09  there is in insert of a ¾ bar and at the very end @ 2:30, there is a 2/4 break just before the final chord. 

I did some Youtube Shorts in Case with more details on some composition tweaks that I used in this track:

The track has been recorded on a Roland FP-90 and mastered in Cubase by adding  reverb, a Stereo enhancer and fiddling a bit with the EQ. 
The picture was created with Stable Diffusion.

I tried creating a fall song using the same production style as our collaboration 'Seeing The Sea' with SeaShea from the summer. I believe it's a luxurious experience to create music together while looking at the same moon. Please look forward to our future collaborations.

Frigg of Freitag

When you were 5
A day was a dream
Sugar and Sundays
And custard creams

D’you think time did it’s work
Did it steal your youth?
Here is the answer
Here is the truth

You think the night is coming
It’s just around the bend
The way your thinking
Is not the way it ends

You’re hot and sexy
You’re the best thing alive
Remember 50 is just 10 x 5
You’re not loosing a lifetime
You’re leading the drive
Remember 50 is just 10 x 5

10 x 5
10 x 5

Come the morning
Come the sun
Come the daylight
For everyone
Come the evening
Come the moon
Come the party
Dance to the tune

You’re hot and sexy
You’re the best thing alive
Remember 50 is just 10 x 5
You’re growing in wisdom
You’re leading the drive
Remember 50 is just 10 x 5

10 x 5
10 x 5

When you were 25
Your mistakes weren’t seen
The clock shows a soul
Where it has been

So you may think that you were fighting against the tide
But really you were floating in the ocean wide

So tell me you fear the final call
And I’ll show you the point of it all

You’re hot and sexy
You’re the best thing alive
Remember 50 is just 10 x 5
You’re growing in wisdom
You’re leading the drive
Remember 50 is just 10 x 5

You’re hot and sexy
You’re the best thing alive
Remember 50 is just 10 x 5
You’re growing in wisdom
You’re leading the drive
Remember 50 is just 10 x 5

10 X 5

Im Coming To Getcha

A hard replay of truth. I can not play piano, but draw better. Nobody - nobody can do this on a piano. This piece should have been longer, but small is intense.

Fiery Dragonspume

Celestial Trax returns with new work of tonal-textural explorations.
On 'Lifecodes' the producer born Joni Judén weaves together a dense quilt of sound, shimmering and surging as it unfolds in free-time. Judén invites the listener down a luminous, harmonically adventurous path, where sound takes creaturely dimensions. The songs blossom and wilt, at times floating in states of ambivalence, at others washing over the listener like waves, bathing them in heavy light.

'Lifecodes' was created in the small village of Pynnölä, Joutsa in central Finland, where Celestial Trax has been living and working since 2020.
