The Long Voyage Home (feat. Ethnic World Orchestra)

This track was made during a difficult period for me, when covid drove me into a cage of depression. To cope with it, I, in spite of everything, took out all the light that is in me and, through I can't, tried to make music. And she saved me! This is the first track in a new, now, world. Music Composed/Produced by Guitarbeard © 2021

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

Salahuddin - The Guardian

Salahuddin - The Guardian (Extended)

Peter Heckmann - Salahuddin - The Guardian (Extended - Commercial)

All the sounds you are about to hear are made from real instruments, I used 3000 year old Mayan ,Aztec and Inca flute samples.
Ancient civilizations didn't used the same notes we use today, those early musical instruments like flutes were just mimicking what they heard in the rainforest, animals like birds, owls, wolfs, parrots etc...
This is by far the largest piece I wrote and I am exhausted. 

Special dedication to someone I consider a friend here on SC, Max a wonderful composer also known as Synthgrinder https://soundcloud.com/synthgrinder-1/tracks

Also and as usual a special thank you to Ray Billcliff the wonderful photographer I work with, please do yourself a favour and visit his online site, it will brighten your day for sure, he has a wonderful eye for beauty www.raybilcliff.uk/

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

MYTHIC - Paploviante-Open Collaboration

"Essentially, there’s a universe inside your brain. The number of connections possible inside your brain is limitless. And as people have learned to have more managerial and direct creative access to their brains, they have also developed matrices or networks of people that communicate electronically. There are direct brain/computer link-ups. You can just jack yourself in and pilot your brain around in cyberspace-electronic space.”
― Timothy Leary, Chaos & Cyber Culture

Lyrics:

Dance With Me

I'm on fire
I'll take you higher

I've been dreaming
of a girl like you
to come along
make me feel like new
you arrive in my 
darkest hour
fill my heart 
with desire
You looked at me 
and now I'm on fire
you looked at me
and now I'll take you higher
You looked at me 
and now I'm on fire
you looked at me
and now your desire
All my life 
I've been waiting 
for a girl like you
to start a new
I promise you 
I'll never let go
ahhh
I've been waiting 
for a girl like you
to start a new
I promise you 
I'll never let go
ahhh


Additional Vocals of Laurie Webb

no I will not soon forget
the way you came in unannounced
as though you read my mind
as if I had said it to you
won't you dance with me
as close as you want to be

Holy World (Ethnic Underground Dark Electronica)

Relaxation Concoction (World Ethnic Electronica)

The track was originally composed for the producer loops sound libraries in 2014 by Gregor Theelen. I re-arranged and reworked the track to create a more haunting and emotional (vocal focused) moodscape ... contemplating the sad state of our forests, our nature ... Gaia is crying.

The poem Zaydi (performed by Aliye) is an old Bulgarian poem / traditional folklore.

ZAYDİ
Zaydi, zaydi yasno slınce zaydi pomracise
i ti yasna mesecinko zaydi udavi se
placi goro placi sestro dbete da zaplacem
ti za tvoyte listya goro az za moyta mladost
tvoyte listya goro sestro pak shte se zavırnat
moyta mladost goro sestro nyama da se vırne

Translation: COME
Come, come bright rising sun 
Come, it got dark
And, you bright moon 
Vamoose and set now
Cry my forest, cry my sister
Let’s cry together
You, my forest, your leaves to you
And me, to my youth
Your leaves shall return to you again, my forest sister 
But my youth, my forest sister
Shall not return to me
