On the festival chill tip since the early 90's. DJ, producer, Graphic designer, VJ and rave philosopher.

Cloudlight Creations is a conglomeration of skilled individuals who not only formulate their thoughts precisely, but who have the wonderful gift of listening.

Cloudlight Creations is a finely tuned, self organising living organism of brilliant human beings who have -- ultimately -- one conviction:

That life is dynamic, progressive, ever changing; that it cannot be controlled by anyone or anything. We allow ourselves the luxury of taking time to adapt to the unknown regardless of context; both personally and professionally.

This approach is entirely adaptive, peaceful, healthy, and -- yes -- healing.

We invite anyone who feels attracted to this not so new approach to life in any shape or form, as long as the foundation of meditation and music is agreed upon.

All creations are free of charge. Whosoever feels like contributing to us, feel free to transfer an unspecified amount of currency into the PayPal Account PayPal.Me/cloudlightcreations. Thank you.

As for the tracks: CAREFUL !
Most tracks contain bass sounds which may damage your sound system, especially ones at the lower quality spectrum. Bass in particular -- especially at high amplitude -- requires that loudspeakers and amp(s) alike handle Voltage (V) and Current (A). The sounds are pristine from my end (maxing out at -0.1dB), so distortion cannot occur. If you DO notice distortion when listening, seek to track down the cause at your end. A week amplifier cannot handle potent bass signal, especially not when at -0.1dB. Similarly, a generic loudspeaker cannot reproduce, say, a 25Hz bass at that dB. Got it?

Genocide, June 2025:
Israel is only the executioner, every nation which has armed that country in the past year is an accessory to that genocide, an accomplice, a facilitator.  We cannot talk about war crimes because when you target unarmed civilians, mostly women and children, we are talking about a massacre, like terrorists do, not a war. The people who orchestrated that massacre, in the US, the most duplicitous, followed by those of the UK, Germany, France, and probably a few lesser ones should be tried for crimes against humanity just as well as Netanyahu and his cabinet, because it has been going on for two years, generously reported by media of all kinds, so the enablers knew exactly how the arms were to be used, as a tool for revenge, domination, and humiliation of the Palestinian people.  The conflict has ceased to be about the defense of anything for months.

The parties responsible have made a mockery of decency, morals, fairness, proportion, or justice, not to mention empathy.  Of what little there was, these concepts will be a lot longer to come back than they were to be struck down.  

Is it 1984 already?!?!

I have not been able to recover access to my other account [https://soundcloud.com/ha-kekong] for a couple of years.  I have tried a few times to get back into it but SoundCloud doesn't trust me.  Same phone number, same email addresses, and they still claim that they can't verify my identity.  I created that account about three years ago as a substitute to my regular account which SoundCloud temporarily closed.  They closed it as part of some upgrade procedure in their system, the result of a bug that affected many accounts, about two years ago.  Since SC did not inform its users I didn't know if that was permanent or not, so I created that other account which I can't access.  Don't be mad if I have not replied to your message in the past two years, that's because I never got them ; ) ... You can always reach me here though.
...

This one here (957729823) is for regular folks.

I love you, both.

...

You can't see it because of the angle with which I took the shot, aiming down, but beyond those blocks is the sea.  To the left is the Mediterranean, to the right is the Atlantic Ocean.  No it's not Gibraltar, but a little bit further West. ... Actually I checked recently and it is further North more than West, I thought I was facing South when in fact I probably was facing the Atlantic ocean, which is why I suppose the waves were of a decent size where we were.

I then went ahead and butchered his work with a borrowed helmet.
... Sorry Joe. =(

I'm trying to promote what I think is good music, so if you want to help out a bit I'd rather you [like] or [repost] my *playlists* rather than my field recordings, if you don't mind, unless you are a die hard fan of those things. Thank you ; )

I speak French, so if you send me a private message, and that you are a francophone, please write in French, thank you.  ... I mean, you don't absolutely have to, but I would prefer it. 

All my field recordings (except for when I record a person) are public, freely downloadable by anyone who is able to click on the button.  I encourage anyone interested to use them in any way whatsoever, on purpose or accidentally. No need for permissions or credits or any other kind  of administrative maneuvers.
...

Anarchists give me hope.

I'm a big fan of EFF.  Love ya EFF.  (no connection with the above line)
... and of course Richard Stallman and Linux and all the others.  Bless yous.

Now don't be lazy, go find out what it is this "EFF" that I'm talking about.  I'll give you a hint: it has to do with computers.

You have a nice day now.  Hugs & Kisses.
