@user-936947521: Thank you so much Frans! Wonderful feedback. Best wishes - Peter

Wonderful pads so emotional, arrangement is gorgeous make sense too. 👍

Great track. I love the padsounds and the kick drum. It sounds like a Heartbeat. The sound not the beat. Otherwise it would be cardiac arrhythmia. Amazing track and great work. 👏

Chill Out and Experimental Music

A Smooth Rendezvous (Edit: Mastered with Ozone on October 5, 2023)

I am not a professional and I have been very lucky and blessed to have been able to play music using so wonderful instruments as I have in all these songs. With them I have been able to try to mimic or recreate something that once was, something that could be and is "out there"; something that is so clearly and vividly expressed in the music genre often called "smooth jazz" - and in fact in the whole genre of "classical music". So I have wanted to try to demonstrate these amazing instruments, how I love them all and also how I feel playing them. This track maybe conveys some of that affection and the feelings to You and I hope this maybe would bring some joy or happiness to You, even for a brief moment.  

A minor partly improvised "song" (or maybe a basis for improvising) that also demonstrates once again the richness, beauty and potential of the Rhodes electric piano (which to me is maybe one of the world's most beautiful instruments) and hence also the Scarbee EP-88S. This was played by me with my old loyal workhorse Korg SGProX digital piano using the following sounds: 
- Scarbee EP-88S (Rhodes Mk I electric piano),
- Bass and Lead: Lounge Lizard EP-4/Insomnia sound pack,
- Strings: UVI Orchestral Suite/All String Ensemble Vel.

The drums and drum grooves come from Native Instruments Abbey Road 80s Drummer (with some adjustments and additions made by me and with a LinnDrum snare layer added with the UVI Drum Replacer).

Sorry about the large quantity of drum fills... I am an ex drummer (the quality of the fills of course is astounding bc they are from the 80s Drummer). I also am not a jazz musician so the lead lines in this piece truly are not very sophisticated; instead I tried to concentrate on the chords and chord progressions.

This track was inspired especially e.g. by 1) Mr. Bill Evans' song "We Will Meet Again"; 2) by my great hero Mr. Jeff Porcaro, who could easily record this kind of a drum track at one take (using his right-hand sixteenth-note hi-hat); 3) by Mr. Chris Rea's song "The Mention of Your Name" and 4) by a relatively large bunch of popular and classical music and jazz. Of course also everything Mr. Robbie Buchanan does and plays keeps inspiring me continuously.

A Smooth Rendezvous

In the darkness of our megacities, their own laws prevail. 
The soundtrack underlines the surreal atmosphere created by the contrast of warm light in cold places, where people face suspicion, hostility and surveillance outside of their private, created comfort zones - a man-made artificial jungle!

"Rays of Summer Sun" 

Here is a small summer-related excercise I played the other day using my old Korg SGProX as a midi keyboard! Everything except the brass was created using sounds from the wonderful UVI Emulation+ virtual synthesizer (representing the lovely hardware sounds of the E-mu Emulator, Emulator II, Emulator III and Drumulator). The brass is from the UVI JP Legacy/Saturn-6 (cf. Jupiter 6).

Rays Of Summer Sun

Here is a happy feel good song for an enjoyable summer time.
Slow down and perceive nature with all your senses! Anyone who manages to do this is guaranteed joie de vivre and relaxation. I hope you can, too!

Ich Mag Das Leben

Technology is the realized product of human ingenuity. It gives us security, prosperity, control and gives us the feeling of being able to play a little "god". As machines increasingly take over our work, the illusion arises that we can create our own paradise on earth. But is that really true? Where is the increasing dependence and misuse on technical developments leading us? Will technology overtake us one day using artificial intelligence?

Far Away

Machine Talk

Outside Galaxy takes us to distant planets outside our galaxy, the Milky Way, where our solar system is located. Current research assumes that there are around 1 trillion galaxies in the observable universe. Each galaxy is a collection of billions of stars and planetary systems. What these so-called exoplanets might look like is left to our imagination. Enjoy the interplay of synthetic sounds and the journey to fantastic worlds far from any human civilization.

How Long Does It Take – written by Andrea Brennan – is a song that is especially close to my heart. When I first read the lyrics, I was instantly touched and deeply inspired. I’m incredibly grateful that Andrea entrusted me with this beautiful piece. 
Dear Andrea, once again, thank you so much for your trust. It was a true joy and an honor to set your words to music.

How Long Does It Take


Love is the captor I welcomed to find
But now that you're gone, how my heart cries
I'm surviving on memories replayed in my mind

Our home now a house, the warmth faded and gone
Death is the poison nightmares feed upon
And it's cold as Hell, yet a fire burns on

How long does it take to heal this broken heart
Piece together my world that has fallen apart
To feel once more like I did before
How long does it take to heal this broken heart

Sweet remnants of you everywhere that I look
Slippers by the bed, pink robe on a hook
Reading glasses perched on your unfinished book

Things can't dry my tears and they can't hold me tight
Things cannot rock me gently through the night
And things cannot whisper everything will be alright


How long does it take to heal this broken heart
Piece together my world that has fallen apart
To feel once more like I did before
How long does it take to heal this broken heart

How Long Does It Take

Good Ol' Boy is a very special song. It was originally written and composed by David Dunham, who dedicated it to a dear friend – a gesture that gives the song even more emotional depth.

When David invited Mike Fox and me to create a new arrangement, we gladly accepted. It was an honor to give his beautiful composition a fresh new sound.

For me, this project was more than just music: it was about friendship, trust, and shared creativity. I first met David and Mike here on SoundCloud – two outstanding musicians, but more importantly, two kind and wonderful human beings. Over time, a true friendship has grown between us, and I’m deeply grateful for that.

I hope you can feel a bit of what makes this song so meaningful to us when you listen.

Lyrics "Good Ol´Boy

He's a good ol' boy with his good ol' toys,
He likes a beer now and then.
He picks a guitar and dreams of going far,
Don't know the how, or the where, or the when.
The boys in the band play as hard as they can.
And they hitch their wagon to the star,
Of this good ol' boy, this good ol' boy.

He keeps house with his wife, the love of his life,
The kids are all grown and gone.
By the gray in his hair you can tell he still cares
'bout the things that are right and wrong.
And the question comes does it get better than this,
A hard days work and a goodnight kiss,
For this good ol' boy, this good ol' boy.

Well it hasn't been easy, no it's never been easy
But he keeps on keepin' on.
And what hasn't killed him he finds a way
To put into a song, 'bout this good ol' boy
This good ol' boy.


He's a good ol' boy with his share of joys,
And his share of the cares of this world.
When it's all said and done, and his race has been run,
And he rests in the arms of the Lord
Of this good ol' boy, this good ol' boy.

Mystic clouds in the Caldera de Taburiente on the Canary Island of La Palma while climbing uphill to the 2426 m highest erosion volcanic crater of the world inspired me for this instrumental.

Taburiente

People of all nations and religions follow the call of the sun and reverently admire the scenery created by nature before the night takes over.

Feel the relaxing experience of snorkeling or diving in blue fresh water.

An escalating soundtrack accompanies the listener during a sunset in real time. To see the instructions you need to watch the video on YouTube.

Timeless

Shortly after midnight in Moscow. 2000 people move to the dance floor of the largest dancing hall in town. The DJ puts on his best mix and the floating journey through the night begins. While a storm is gathering over Moscow outside, the dancing people move like dark figures in a trance state to the light effects and the rhythm of the music and finally become one with the storm. This idea in my imagination inspired me to create this composition and the visualization that you can follow on YouTube.

I am a singer, songwriter, composer and producer. Select from my different styles like ambient music, German Retro hits, classic scores and modern songs. It is my passion to create soulful and melodic music.

Since I have already reached the limit of my free upload capacity I have to delete older tracks with less replays from time to time. Sorry for that!
