The Long Voyage Home (feat. Ethnic World Orchestra)

EXTENDED COMMERCIAL VERSION - the short Single version can be found here:
https://soundcloud.com/peterheckmann/salahuddin-the-guardian

A melodic ethnic flavored soundscape with a pensive pulse, which becomes increasingly more anxious and powerful toward the end with off-set percussive elements and off-beat /syncopated orchestral SFX.

The mourning violins and the female vocal lament (separately first and then as call / response) create an atmosphere of sadness - anguish and pain of war. The ending briefly highlights the battle and then just evaporates ... into history, or?

Composer: H. Luqman, P. Heckmann and A. Mutlu

Lyrics:
Beware of the beast inside you
Be aware of the beast inside you
1. Treachery is the mortal blow
to every kind of faith
No relationship can grow
Behind a doubled face
Beware of the beast inside you
Be aware of the beast inside you
2. Treachery is the brotherly kiss
with a dagger on one´s back
Foreside smiling innocence
Back side the attack
Beware of the beast inside you
Be aware of the beast inside you
3. Treachery is inexcusable
A scar that never heals
Treachery is unforgettable 
Once it is revealed
Beware of the beast inside you
Be aware of the beast inside you
(c) Neli CoKo

An Unbearable Sadness

An Unbearable Sadness (feat. Ethnic World Orchestra)

With Soundcloud, music is so often created across the oceans, with musicians from around the world who have never met or spoken directly other than through this platform joining together.  Our new jazz fusion composition Across The Oceans pays tribute to these connections across oceans which have fostered such high quality of music, the sharing of regional influences, and true friendships.   
Joining me again are players from Germany, England, Spain and the US, who contribute their individual sounds, elevate and shape the music.  Our horn section was provided by two versatile instrumentalists - Georg Boehme on Baritone saxophone and Andy McLean on Tenor and Soprano saxes and EWI (Electronic Wind Instrument).  Love the full sound they get together and also the interplay between the two musicians.  Our featured guitarist is Stephan Lipinski, who weaves his fine solo to connect the oceans between Europe and North America.  Spanish percussionist Sergio Parraga provides the underlying churning rhythm complement to further bridge our two continents.
Follow these fine musicians if you are not already doing so:  https://soundcloud.com/georg-boehme

Blight

using language as a caress
your parodic Irish heart
(has my spirit emblazoned within it)?
blankness throughout
a dearth of creativity
belies the lies
easy to compliment 
sleaze tease such a disappointment
when all that we are 
becoming
is so much more…..

Inspiration

Story
Manubuána... the Son of the Sun and the Moon
In the dawn of time, when the sky still sang with voices of fire and silver, Manubuána was born, son of the blazing Sun and the serene Moon. His body shone with the light of both celestial bodies: his skin golden like the sunrise, his eyes silver like the clearest night.

The Descent
One day, the Sun wept a tear of fire, and the Moon one of frost. Their other son, Manubuána's brother, had vanished into the mists of the underworld. Moved by love and the promise to reunite his family, Manubuána descended from the sky riding an obsidian comet, passing through the seven veils of the firmament.

He arrived on Earth, a still young place, where rivers spoke and mountains slept. He searched for his brother through valleys and volcanoes, but found only silence and shadow.

The Encounter with Bobo’ula’ya
In a bamboo forest that whispered secrets, Manubuána heard a song. From a hollow bamboo stalk emerged Bobo’ula’ya, a woman with a crystalline voice and hair like moon roots. She had no parents, no past: she was born from the sigh of the Earth and the echo of the sky.

Manubuána recognized in her a spark of his own origin. Together they shared stories, songs, and dreams. Although he did not find his brother, he found in Bobo’ula’ya a new mission: to sow life, memory, and light among the beings of the world.
From their union, the first humans were born, bearers of solar fire and lunar wisdom. Manubuána taught them to look at the sky and listen to the earth. Bobo’ula’ya taught them to grow like bamboo: strong, flexible, and filled with inner music.

C Fragments

C — the Roman numeral for 100.
A complete measure.
A fixed frame.

C Fragments exists within this order as a sequence of fragments.
Not as a narrative, not as development,
but as a state.

The Roman reference does not stand for power or grandeur,
but for measure, structure, and timelessness.
The fragments remain contained within a closed whole
whose meaning is left open.

Sonically, the piece combines a restrained grand piano
with deep strings, sustained orchestral layers,
subtle percussive elements,
textural sound layers,
and distant choral surfaces.

A very subtly blended female vocal texture from ACE Studio
was added as an additional sonic element —
not as a lead voice and not as a replacement for a real singer,
but purely as a tonal presence within the overall structure.

C Fragments

C — die römische Zahl für 100.
Ein vollständiges Maß.
Ein festgelegter Rahmen.

C Fragments bewegt sich innerhalb dieser Ordnung in Bruchstücken.
Nicht als Erzählung, nicht als Entwicklung,
sondern als Zustand.

Das Römische steht hier nicht für Macht oder Pathos,
sondern für Maß, Struktur und Zeitlosigkeit.
Die Fragmente existieren innerhalb eines geschlossenen Ganzen,
dessen Bedeutung offen bleibt.

Klanglich vereint das Stück ein zurückgenommenes Grand Piano
mit tiefen Streichern, orchestralen Sustains, texturalen Schichten,
dezenten perkussiven Elementen
und weit entfernten Chorflächen.

Eine sehr dezent eingesetzte weibliche Stimmtextur aus ACE Studio
wurde ergänzend hinzugefügt – nicht als Gesang,
sondern als subtile klangliche Präsenz innerhalb der Gesamtstruktur.
