This Track is about an "Empty Room".  It can be in your heart, mind or soul. Those empty rooms are caused by strong strokes of fate. The shape of an empty room can be diffrent, but they all can be filled with wonderful feelings and emotions...but it also can be filled with negative ones.
Its your decision...not an easy one! -thats for sure!


...what do you want to put into your empty room?

[i worked with a good friend of mine (Martin Mangels) on the drum-parts. I am very thankful, that he supports me in that way. It is a 5/4 beat and it sounds pretty interesting and rare in the electronic music scene.]

Thank you so much for all your support and the time you spend to listen to my music!! i am really thankful for that! 

-Keep the music alive!!! :DDD

Empty Room

Welcome to our version  (experimental )  on Ennio Morricone’s  “Once upon a time in the West (theme)”
We wanted to do an experiment, make a piece in complete free hand (free motion) without metronome, starting to create choirs first to make them sound as realistic as possible, and then create an orchestra around those tracks.

We split up the song in 2 parts, as by hearing the original soundtrack has 2 different rhythms / tempo’s, and we worked on those 2 parts separately, without consulting each other as we normally do by Skype, email  or telephone.

As we all know people hear and experience different things in music, and we just wanted to see how close our creations would come together in the pre-production, when all the tracks were completed,  I cut all the tracks in bits of 1 second, and I allowed myself to make slight changes within parts of 0,125 second on all tracks to make both Matt’s and my instruments sound as smooth as possible, keeping the Ennio’s main theme sound recognizable for everybody, and still give it our own signature at the same time, because we don’t  want to sound like copy-cats.

Most musicians and composers will say that’s impossible, as we also thought so ourselves ( especially as Matt lives in England and I in Holland, so we can’t sit next to each other ), but we did it anyway, another prove that collaborating and creating music together for almost 3 years, makes us a solid team, and we understand each other almost blindly, and I am very proud of Matt what he has accomplished through the years, and honored to work together with him.
Although this may not sound exactly like the soundtrack most of you know it, we hope you will enjoy our version too.

We are planning to do the “final” of Ennio’s composition (which is longer) later this year, with real voices.

Composer:  Ennio Morricone
Arrangement:  John Styles & Matt Baker
Instruments & voices:  Matt baker & John Styles
Producer:  John Styles

All your comments and advices are very much appreciated as always, all the best for now, John Styles & Matt Baker

Love Masquerade - NEON MONOLITH

Hi there and welcome to one my latest compositions for Music For Brains, 'Arduinna' 

This track is inspired by the Celtic Goddess of the Forest. 

Arduinna, Gaulish Goddess of Forests and Hunting is one of the many Celtic Goddesses who is associated with a particular region or body of water.  She was worshipped in the heavily forested regions of the Ardennes, located in what is current day Belgium and Luxembourg with small portions found in France and Germany. She was also associated with the Forest of Arden in England. Her name has its roots in the Gaulish word “arduo” meaning “height”.

I like the thought of the Ancient association with deities that influenced the passing of time and the more basic needs, harvest, forests, hunting, fertility etc, before the world was as complicated and fast paced. 

In this track I imagine wondering through an ancient woodland on a spring morning with the sunlight tracing beams through the woodland canopy, casting pools of light across the forest floor.

Composition, All Instruments, Arrangement & Production: Matt Baker

Recorded in Yew Tree Studios Liverpool

I hope you enjoy this track and a short rest to reflect upon the wonder of nature.

Comments and feedback most welcome

All the best for now, Matt

Hi there and welcome to the latest release from NEON MONOLITH, 'Nostalgia'

This track is potentially going to be the title track of a new album of NEON MONOLITH track I plan to release soon. It is a homage to growing up in the 80's when listening to the radio, or a cassette of the hit parade (top of the pops, or the charts back then), was all that you lived for. Going to your friends house with your box of single or cassette, sitting in your bedroom, with posters on the walls, talking about things and writing songs.

Dreaming of a day when you may have a 4 or 8 track recorder, a sequencer, drum machine and a synthesiser. I used to buy melody maker magazine just to look at the adverts for gear.

NOSTALGIA by Matt Baker 2025

Woke up to a picture frame
Smiling faces, can't recall their names
Neon lights and distant songs
Echo where my heart belongs

Static on the radio
Takes me where I use to go
Every beat a flash in time
Dancing in the fading light

Nostalgia pulls me back in time
Flashing scenes race before my eyes
Moments lost, but still alive
In the reaches of my mind

An old cassette a worn out track
Plays the dreams I can't get back
Like shadows on the silver screen
My broken heart a teenage dream

Voices from the hit parade
A pumping beat a serenade
Every steps I take today
Reminds me of yesterday

Nostalgia pulls me back in time
Flashing scenes race before my eyes
Moments lost, but still alive
In the reaches of my mind

Times an illusion age a disguise
But nothings lost behind those eyes
In the mirror I still see
A trace of who I used to be

Nostalgia Play it one more time
Bring me back to feel my prime
Hold me close but let me free
To be the person I used to be

To be the person I use to be
To be the person I use to be
To be the person I use to be (static on the radio, takes me where I use to go)
To be the person I use to be (static on the radio, takes me where I use to go)

End

Thanks for listening

Nostalgia - NEON MONOLITH

Written, arranged & produced by Ralf Reichelt
05.2025

Solang mein Herz noch weiß ist ein Lied aus der Stille.

Es erzählt von einem Leben im Rückzug – von Tagen, an denen selbst das Atmen schwer wird, vom leisen Verblassen im eigenen Raum.

Geschrieben aus der Perspektive von ME/CFS-Betroffenen, nähert sich der Song der Erschöpfung mit Sanftheit, nicht mit Dramatik.

Und doch bleibt da etwas: ein Funke.
Hoffnung. Erinnerung. Ein Herz, das weiß, was war – und was vielleicht wieder werden kann.



Eine Jazzballade für die, die kaum gehört werden. Und für die, die trotzdem weiter fühlen.

Solang mein Herz noch weiß

Hi there and welcome to my latest INNER FIRE track, 'Under the Stars'

This song is written for those of us who live with challenge of long distance relationships, when you are far away from those who you love and cherish most, but sadly can't be with. This hardship can be very difficult to bare, but I imagine all of us look to the sky at night and wonder if we are looking at the same bright star.

Christmas Memories - NEON MONOLITH

Hi there and welcome to my latest release, 'A Christmas Carol'

Every year I try to write a few different Christmas tracks.  I really enjoy the challenge of writing Christmas tracks as it helps me reflect and gets me in the mood for this special time of year. I really hope one day that one of my tracks will attract the attention of someone that wants to use my music,  either for a stage productions, as short film or perhaps a Christmas concert. 

In this track I hope to portray some of the themes I feel could work for 'A Christmas Carol' This track took a lot of work and there are 50 or so instruments in total. I am really please with the finished track, but do wonder if I may need to create a part II to continue the story.

I hope you enjoy my creation and that it helps you to get ready for Christmas.

Comments and feedback most welcome

Thanks for listening

Peace, Love & Respect

A Christmas Carol - Matt Baker

“All that we see or seem is but a dream within a dream.”

EXTENDED

Dreaming & Druming

Welcome to our new song “Passion of the Heart” another experimental song composed by John and Oliver.

Also this song was created / changed while John was with Oliver in Bremen, Oliver played his original idea, and they arranged it with their specific way of playing and creating harmonies, John showed Oliver some of his weird chords, and they both kept playing and changing (practicing) till they were both satisfied. Oliver wanted the piano to be put forward playing the passion, and let the orchestra playing the flames (expressing the feel and emotion).

Because the studio had to be moved to another location, we couldn’t release as many songs as we would want to, so we want to thank you all for your patience. Now in the new studio John could finally try to create the specific arrangement (Oliver and John talked about in Bremen), multi layering all instruments and sending mixes back and forth to Bremen, till we were both satisfied with the outcome, we wanted the piano to come out stronger (as a solo  instrument), and the orchestra just accompanying it within the song, the flute and the violin are playing the flames sparkles (whatever may come to mind when listening to this piece), and John kept on going as he wanted the flute and violin talking with and too each other, but not being solo instruments, so they would just grow over the orchestra at some places, we hope we’ve accomplished that, and you all enjoy it.

To express the “Passion of the Heart” can be done in different ways, also because it’s experienced in different ways for everyone, when Oliver told John what he wanted to say with this song, and how he wanted everybody to feel (and hear) what he experience when these emotions overwhelms him, they talked a lot about how it could be done with instruments, to our opinion, music can say a lot more than words, when John was back in Holland he took 3 pictures to inspire him to create to orchestral movement, eventually we choose the cover for this song (Heart with flames), the Heart (and it’s emotions) is played by the piano, and the flames are expressed by the Flute and Violin, the overall emotional feeling is softly accompanied by the rest of the orchestra.  

Also this song was a sort of experiment, creating harmonies in a different way, to build up a song and let the instruments be our story teller, we all hope you’ll enjoy this song, and we are looking forward to your reaction.

Circles by KDrew (SirensCeol Remix)

I am John de Bruijn, born in Holland in 1956, since 1972 I'm a songwriter, composer, producer and arranger by the name John Styles, and I recorded several songs within different Projects also with other groups.
I wrote a lot of ballads in the past also for other artists, when i started working within Projects, I started into making background / theme-music for docu's, movies & commercials, and I still do.

For more then 9 years I work together with http://soundcloud.com/matbaker1970, we composed and co-writed together for Themes / Scores / Soundtracks for Films and Docu's, we hope our music might one day be featured in a Film, Docu or Commercial.
We released a charity album: https://soundcloud.com/onevision-crossworlds/love-hope-forever-preview
Our latest projects: https://soundcloud.com/feng-shui-music and we're now working together on Music4Brains Project, in which we're creating music for people with brains enjury, anxiety and overstimulation problems to help them to coop with their dayly problems accepting different types of sounds & noice. 

Our band: http://soundcloud.com/euphoriqa includes Hemmo ( http://soundcloud.com/age-r ) and Ralf ( http://soundcloud.com/bingzhu ) were making covers for fun, we also compose / write songs, which could be used as soundtracks or themesongs too.
With https://soundcloud.com/quenya-projects we ask other musicians to join us to collab on NewAge, Celtic and Folk / experimental type of music.

I also collaborated with many artists over the years, We found the right way to work together, talking on the phone or skype discussing what or how we want things to be build up, and keep sending tracks back and forth till we're all satisfied.
The nice thing of working into those Projects is that you can help new talents on their way, and working with them also gave me other chances, and I became a allround songwriter / composer within all styles and types of music.
I traveled all over the world to scout for new talents, which made me a more fulfilling person, and I feel rich (not moneywise), being so close to so many cultures I learned so much, and I also make Therapy Music for about 10 years now.

I am very happy that my music helps so many people all over the world, and that I can use my talent to help others, so that my God's given gift can be spread out and touch others, I'm blessed to be able to reach so many hearts and souls.
Music is my drive, without it I wouldn't feel alive, it's also a therapy for me, and luckily my family supports me all the way, that makes me a very happy man, and hopefully you'll be able to hear and sense that within my music, ENJOY my music!!!!!
