A New Beginning - sixth part of the reworked cinematic musical suite based on my original theatrical Cirque style show: Regalia - The Enchanted Forest, which was initially performed at the Bali Safari and Marine Park in 2011. The new ethnic infused World music score has been crafted around sophisticated and powerful hybrid orchestral compositions by my friends at IPI Music.

Arabic to English Translation:
---- Oh, Night - Oh, My Eyes 
Night passes and day arrives 
My heart desired you from its core 
If the world ends and stars disappear 
Words will not suffice to reveal my love 
---- Oh, my love - Oh, light of to my eyes 
My love above all creation 
My love everlasting, strong like fire 
I met you on a day in past times 
Your face shall still brightly shine 
Everlasting love and kindness 
---- Oh, my love - Oh, light to my eyes 
Love that lasts, lasts and lasts 
Do you see me, do you want me? 
Tenderness in your face, life in your soul 
Lighting up my world, lighting up life 
(A story like no other, a story without an end)
---- Oh, my love  - Oh, light to my eyes 

Arranged, produced, mixed and mastered by Peter Heckmann.

Inspired by a painting I saw in a Dundee gallery called Christ and the two Disciples on the Way to Emmaus. What got me was the look of astonishment on the disciples faces as they realised their travelling companion was the resurrected Christ.

Road to Emmaus

Road to Emmaus (acoustic)

Lyrics:

Do You feel empowered, or do you feel like you're enslaved?
Do your dreams grow and flower, or do they burn in raging flames in your mind?
Do you feel empowered?

You say your letting go
And you don’t want to know
But what you need to know
Is that you belong

Don’t say your letting go
Just say you want to know
But you say 'it’s all gone wrong'

Spending your time
In the sorrow
Where you’ll never know how far you can go
You're never gonna know
If you say you’re letting go
But I know you know
I’m here for you now

Does your heart beat in wonder, or does it feel like it's been drained?
Are you living your life like thunder, or do you hide and feel ashamed in your mind?

Do you feel empowered? 
Please don't feel like your enslaved
Let your dreams grow and flower
Don't let them burn in raging flames in your mind

Feel empowered

Empowered

Lyrics:
The rain the rain, lt finally came, not the rain of May, By the way-
Wet and freezing cold and clean and clear, my dear-
Falling down on my head-
The fire and smoke of summer gone
all cleared away ln a single day,
miraculous, some might say-

The bus broke down along a Pastoral stretch
had to hitchhike lnto town
the wood got wet
the stove lt smoked
the band it choked
And yet, a wheel bearing lt was found
ln a dusty corner on a shelf
ln a Rusty little Town of No Renown-

Still time to make the Date At Joe's Garage ln Sante Fe
where some members of the band await,
Antlclpatllng a packed house
who've come to hear the hit song that's Playln on the radio--

Oh, Stu of the blues
Got the band back together again!
Sink or Swim
Around the Mystery Mobile
Made of mushroom patches
Round the back where we grew ourselves
Just to meander the intergalactic block
With our caravan of travailing home
and the wooden smell of campfire coffee

Oh, the rain, the rain it finally came
not the rain of May
By the way...
Finally
Finally

Ambient electronica exploring the mysteries surrounding Quantum Theory, Space, Time and the Universe

THE TRUE NATURE OF NOTHINGNESS

🎧 Epica – A Cinematic Odyssey by Keith Richie

"Music is a potent mood regulator. Simply by listening, our frame of mind changes. It can open a portal to another dimension where all sense of normality vanishes. "

Epica is a sweeping, cinematic journey through sound — a richly layered, emotionally expansive album that fuses ambient electronica, Berlin-school sequencing, and science fiction themes into a single immersive experience.

Crafted by Texas-based composer Keith Richie, Epica builds upon the legacy of his prior work (Ambient Highways, Skylines, For the Willow Wept...) and draws clear inspiration from ambient and electronic greats such as Tangerine Dream, Vangelis, Carbon Based Lifeforms, and John Carpenter. But what sets Epica apart is its deeply narrative structure — an album that plays like the score to an epic sci-fi or fantasy film that exists only in the listener’s imagination.

Each track serves as a chapter in a larger story: from the ethereal swell of “Remote Isolation” and the meditative pulse of “Rebirth,” to the childlike wonder of “Tiny Creatures” and the twilight tension of “Dusk.” The album peaks with the soaring title track “Epica,” where layered synths, cinematic drums, and Mimi Page’s haunting vocals conjure visions of interstellar heroism. The closing track, “There Are Other Worlds Than These,” named after Richie’s own publishing label and referencing Stephen King’s The Dark Tower, delivers a powerful finale — triumphant, textured, and emotionally resonant.

Like a great novel, Epica is filled with both wonder and tension, beauty and darkness. It’s music built not just for listening, but for feeling — perfect for dreaming, writing, reading, or escaping into other worlds. It invites replay after replay, each listen revealing deeper textures and hidden details.

Fans of sci-fi film scores, ambient storytelling, and imaginative soundscapes will find much to explore here. Epica is not just music — it’s a sonic universe waiting to unfold.

New Age Music Guide (Single Feature) – "The title track captures the sweeping vision of the full album beautifully."
👉 Read the article: newagemusic.guide/newagemusic/keith-richie-epica-single/

“There Are Other Worlds Than These” is an original ambient composition by Keith Richie that explores the concept of alternate realities and unseen paths—emotional and cinematic in tone, with layered textures that pull listeners across invisible thresholds.

The title pays subtle homage to a well-known phrase from Stephen King’s The Dark Tower series, but the piece itself exists as a personal meditation on change, choice, and the universes we build within ourselves.

🔊 A journey beyond the veil, through soundscapes shaped by wonder, loss, and imagination.
