Very beautiful sounds and atmosphere, excellent composition!

So beautiful climate , nice guitars sound

Great track! Really nice arrangement and beautiful playing 👏👏👏

Nice track! I love it because it unfolds like a journey to unseen horizons, where the acoustic guitar gently guides us toward a celestial atmosphere. The subtle entrance of the pad feels like the unveiling of hidden truths, reminding us that sometimes, the most profound discoveries are found in the spaces between what is known and what is felt.🔥

Such Beautiful Acoustic Guitar & Piano ~~

Time

Long time ago in the Scottish Highlands. A tribe that lives in a rough and harsh surrounding, strengthened over generations by the unfriendly environment. The borders of the tribes territory are not exactly known. In particular, in the North, the saying goes that vast areas of unoccupied lands will belong to those that first dare to claim it. So a small troup of currageous military men sets foot to the Northern Frontier ...

Composition-wise: The piece explores the change of atmosphere when the same motive is played with different accompaniments. The same theme can be found for instance @ 0:00 ff,  0:23 ff and 1:05 ff. The accompaniment increases in intensity and rhythm for these three instances, ranging from a meditative intro over a – to my ears – tribal dance or chant towards a first  climax of the piece which might make a good soundtrack for a battle in the Scottish Highlands. The track then settles down to the second theme @ 1:33 which again is repeated with much more agitated accompaniment @ 1:55 ff. 

While the track is in general in 4/4, it raises the tension by sometimes breaking the metrum into more unconventional rhythmic structures. This holds in particular for @ 0:46 ff where the metrum changes to a succession of ¾, 4/4, ¾, 6/4, 6/4, 4/4, ¾, 4/4, ¾, ¾, ¾ and then reverts to the original 4/4. Also @ 2:09  there is in insert of a ¾ bar and at the very end @ 2:30, there is a 2/4 break just before the final chord. 

I did some Youtube Shorts in Case with more details on some composition tweaks that I used in this track:

The track has been recorded on a Roland FP-90 and mastered in Cubase by adding  reverb, a Stereo enhancer and fiddling a bit with the EQ.

Another track for the Laybow legacies demo, finally ready for release:

Tom - guitars, vocals
Peter Paul - bass
Lebo - drums

Alan Watts samples

Laybow - Decry

I'm still experiment with different approaches to create my music, so this is a small piece based on a percussive theme. It may feel like a journey in search of unknown, undiscovered places...

Since I'm slowly returning to classical guitar, I wanted to use it as the lead instrument. I decided to use all the dirty guitar plays and experiment with different ambient sounds and of course, with the piano :)

This track is a collaboration with SeaShea on.soundcloud.com/CnDF4
I tried creating a fall song using the same production style as our collaboration 'Seeing The Sea' with SeaShea from the summer. I believe it's a luxurious experience to create music together while looking at the same moon. Please look forward to our future collaborations.

Krosan By Night

Journey through an array of intricate synth melodies, grainy amplified piano and guitars, heavy synth bass, haunting vocal elements and blended electronic beats to arrive at the strong place within... 
Thanks to Ernest Hemingway, who said "The world breaks everyone and afterward many are strong at the broken places." 
Never give up 🤍

This was a minor hit by David Soul (1943-2024) somewhat 40 odd years ago.  In fact I covered this a couple of years back but I was not happy with the vocals and the recording was put aside.  Lately I decided to give it another try and reworked the whole thing with an altered arrangement.  Just see what you think about it.
Thanks for stopping by.

[LYRICS]
They say maybe dreams are only movies of the mind
 Still I've lived a few
 I'm not a star
 Though in some ways I've made it
 But all these nights away is gonna lose me you
 Thought a lot about it in these back stage rooms
 And I'd leave it all, if you want me to

 #CHORUS#
Some nights, God knows I'll miss the music
 I'll miss the crowds that call my name
 I'd find contentment now
 If I thought you'd just hang' on
 Playing to an audience of one
 
Some nights, God knows it won't be easy
 I'll feel the lights I'll hear the sound
 I'll find a piece in me
 Cuddled up when the evening's done
 Sometimes playing to my audience of one

 
The endless driving, midnight arriving
 The sleeping when you can
 Still worth it somehow just for that lift
 you get when you walk on
 But just to call you up some nights between the shows
 To say "Good-night I miss you" ain't enough I know
 So I'd leave it all if you tell me so
 

I'll find a piece in me
 Cuddled up when the evening's done
 Playing to my audience of one
 Sometimes playing to my audience of one.

Repeat CHORUS

Covers

Playing to An Audience of One   (Cover)

Hello everyone, 
we're staying in 6/8 time. I'm glad to present you a song that was created in collaboration with Mike Fox and Charlie. With Mike I met someone here at Soundcloud who is not only an excellent musician, but also a friendly and humorous person. Our humor is the same. During our collaborations we exchanged emails that regularly had us rolling on the floor laughing. 
Thank you, Mike, you have become a good friend to me.

And now have fun with 
"Together again".

Hi! This is my musical sketchbook – a collection of improvisations, cinematic ideas and happy accidents.

I use piano, guitars, analog and orchestral textures to score imaginary scenes, tell stories and drift into experimental soundscapes.

By day, I work on visual effects for films. After hours, I create music to explore different worlds.
