Welcome to our new release called “Norway” it’s made for a promo video clip for the Norwegian Tourism Dept.

First of all thanks to all people who kept supporting and following us, we know we have not been able to release more music lately, but we are very busy with 2 large projects we hope to reveal to you soon.
Those project take up most of our time, but we keep on going and more new music will follow soon.

We have been busy with this project a long time, trying new technologies and recording methods, also because we wanted to add a lot of instruments known by the Norwegian natives / locals, we kept adding and changing until we were both satisfied with the end result.

Again we layered all instruments to create the optimal dynamics, and at the same time we wanted to be able to patch each single instrument so that we could combine whatever was needed the way the customer wanted it to be, so we could enlarge or shorten the mini docu / promo clip as requested.
Our major problem was to solve the different instrument characteristics and blend them all in perfectly without having to struggle with the frequencies overlapping each other to much, so we could make all instruments be heard properly, now we think we nailed it, so we let you judge and give your opinion.

We also hope you can just relax and while listening to this piece you can imagine yourself flying through the beautiful fjords, landscapes, mountains and forests of Norway, and enjoy the view like we did looking at the footage picking up the motivation making this piece for you all to enjoy.

We hope to release our videoclip very soon too with the courtesy of  Norwegian Tourism dept.

P'like - Room 873 (Digibilly Remix)

Welcome to our latest track in our 'Themes' soundset, 'Cry Havoc'

The inspiration for this track came from the saying "Cry 'Havoc!', and let slip the dogs of war" from Act 3, Scene 1, line 273 of William Shakespeare's Julius Caesar, although I prefer to think of it from the medieval battle setting in Henry V.

In a literal terms, "dogs" are the familiar animals, trained for warfare; "havoc" is a military order permitting the seizure of spoil after a victory and "let slip" is to release from the leash. 

Apart from the literal meaning, a parallel can be drawn with the prologue to Henry V, where the warlike king is described as having at his heels, awaiting employment, the hounds "famine, sword and fire".

Along those lines, an alternative proposed meaning is that "the dogs of war" refers figuratively to the wild pack of soldiers "let slip" by war's breakdown of civilized behavior and/or their commanders' orders to wreak "havoc", i.e. pillage and plunder.
  
I used the drums, percussion and various vocal elements to try and capture a sense of tension and the underlying threat that the 'Unleashing of Havoc', must have created. This is punctuated in the composition with softer reprieves from the chaos of war, which I felt represented 'innocence' either in terms of the younger soldiers who were yet to be 'bloodied'; and as a representation of the 'innocence' they are about to destroy by warfare, pillage and plunder.

Its strange really as I've always wanted to do a track with this title/theme, but in composing it I felt it is somehow less 'heroic' and a lot 'darker' than some of my previous compositions of a similar theme. I guess its power comes from the representation of the barbarism that ensued during medieval warfare.

Finally after almost a year Quenya Projects releases a new song again, this version is a tribute too Enya, and we wanted to cover her latest single “Even in the Shadows”.
First Matt and John made a instrumental version until we were completely satisfied, then we wanted to find the right singer, but that was a lot harder then we expected, especially because of all harmonies and weird attacks involved in this song.
We already made a wonderful song together with Daphne Braaksma in the past, so we asked her if she wanted and could do it, and she immediately accepted the invitation.
After all her recordings / tracks were cleaned and synced with all harmonies we also created with the instruments (which took a lot of time), we continued making / sending new recordings back and forth till we were all satisfied with this final mix.
This project shows and proofs to me how much talents are within the SC community, and we’re certainly looking forward doing more songs in the style of Enya, Secret Garden and ERA, covers and originals. Making NewAge music is always the goal of Quenya Projects, to let talents collaborate with each other.

Technical structure of the song:
The most difficult thing to sing this song is the fact that none of the 4 points of attack (sync points) are the same, this song contains 4 points of attack, 3 of them are done by Cello’s, bass drum and the Piano, the 4th is the solo voice, we included the specific melody line for the solo voice in our initial instrumental version so she could hear how it needed to be sang, the harmonies are slightly off as well and tend to follow the cello’s.
When we received all tracks from Daphne, we dropped all melody tracks from the project, and replaced them with her vocal tracks, then I had to make sure that her harmonies stayed in sync with the cello’s so with a lot of cutting and multi layering I was able to get all the tracks to sound as one as much as possible.
We had no intention to make Daphne sound like Enya, we still wanted to keep our own signature, so we didn’t use very much effects at all, the main thing was to clean her tracks from mic-plops and background noices, so mostly what you hear is what I received from Matt and Daphne, I only made some slight changes, and added / multi layered some instruments, and created an extra ALT voice to carry / support her voice.
I am very proud of the performance of, and working together with Matt Baker and Daphne Braaksma, their great talents and skills makes creating and producing music a real treat and fun to do for me, and I am sincerely looking forward doing more songs with them, it does motivates me to continue, cheers John.

We all hope you’ll enjoy our version of Enya’s beauty just as much as we did making it, your comments, feedback  and advices are very much appreciated as always, as it helps us to grow with our music.

Lyrics:

[Verse 1]
Even in the shadows
I turn around
To find you walk away
And even when I whisper
The winds will come
To steal the words I say

[Chorus]
I could fall and keep on falling
I could call and keep on calling
Wonder why this love is over
Wonder why it’s not forever more

[Verse 2]
Even in the silence
I hear my heart
It’s still a part of you
And even in the morning
When light has come
I don’t know what to do

[Chorus]
I could fall and keep on falling
I could call and keep on calling
Wonder why this love is over
Wonder why it’s not forever more

Quenya Projects (feat. Daphne Braaksma) - Even in the Shadows

Hi There and welcome to my latest track, 'Broken Dreams'

As you may guess I'm sticking with the 'Aliens' Sci-fi theme with this one. 

In the second film, 'Aliens' 1986

Ellen Ripley (Sigourney Weaver) is picked up as salvage after drifting through space in stasis for 57 years. After she's been treated she is debriefed by her employers at the Weyland-Yutani Corporation over the destruction of her ship, the Nostromo. She describes everything that happened, but they are skeptical of her claims that an Alien killed the ship's crew and forced her to destroy the ship.

She also discovers that whilst she was away, frozen in an  abnormally long hypersleep, her daughter had, grown up and sadly passed away. The pain of this is unbearable for Ripley as she had promised to only be away a short time. 

This part of the story always struck a chord with me, so I  decided it would be a challenge to try and create a piece that gave a sense of a restless, disturbed sleep, a homage to Ripley's broken dreams.

I've used a combination of electronic and orchestral sounds to get a nice atmospheric feel, an kind of ambient chill out track, but with a twist!

I hope you enjoy my creation.

Matt Baker - Broken Dreams

Welcome to our new release ‘The Flight of an Eagle” the promised extended Orchestral version of the earlier released duet version called “The Eagle Fly” by Oliver Papke & John Styles.
We have changed the title as remarks were given that the translation German to English was not done right.

With this release Matt Baker joined us and he created the orchestral movement for this song, then John created an extra bridge, and multi layered all the instruments to keep all dynamics, and at the same time create a crescendo, so all instruments could be heard as an orchestra without a specific solo instrument even the piano becomes part of the total orchestra (intentionally).
In this mix we took out John’s piano, and replaced them with Matt’s piano, then we added more instruments 1 by 1, until they all sounded as one as we hoped they would.

This song arose when Oliver went for a walk with his wife, it was so quiet and peaceful, as they observed some birds, they felt free from the daily stress, back home he started playing on the piano to express this feeling.
Each of you might have had a similar experience, when you have your had full of stress and worry, you just want to forget about everything for a few minutes and feel free and relaxed.
With this piece we want to give you these few moments to relax and experience this relief and freedom.

John Styles, Matt Baker & Oliver Papke- Flight of an Eagle (ext)

Welcome to our new version of “A Story to be Told”, we asked Colin Powell aka  HYPERLINK "https://soundcloud.com/a-multitude-of-one" https://soundcloud.com/a-multitude-of-one to join us and make some guitar tracks for this song, which he did brilliantly as always.  John already had a idea for a new song, but he wasn’t satisfied with the verses only the chorus line and bridge were finished, and when he arrived in Bremen (to join Oliver), Oliver said that he also had a new idea “chorus line” for a new song, and when he played it, John said this would be an awesome verse instead of a chorus for his new song, so little changes were made to make their 2 ideas fit into this song, so our collaboration made us create a new song all along.

The motivation / reason behind this song was for both of us so similar, that it had to become 1 song.
We started with finishing the piano track first, then we tried to create some string tracks and harmonies for them, and by doing so they end up with a sort duet between Piano and Orchestra (the listeners said so too).
We will also try to make another duet between Piano and Guitar later on (work in progress).
Working together side by side we learned a lot from each other, and we understand each others music a lot better now as well, and we noticed by playing our ideas, we could sing along with our music although we never heard it before, that was a real surprise for us both too, which made it a lot easier to work together.
After we created / played all these tracks, John took them to Holland, and started creating all possible  harmonies, and the more this song developed the more it ended up into this “Duet” as we feel it is now.

We were both motivated to make this song, because of the stories shared with us by others, and also by our own experiences in life.
Many times people get disappointed by others or certain happenings makes you feel numb, it can be that you lost a loved one, or a relationship ended, or you’re not treated right for whatever the reason may be.
You want to react but you don’t know how, and as result nothing comes out right at all, misunderstandings become bigger, it’s almost like you feel trapped in your life, and it makes you feel worthless.
It can get so bad that you feel there is no way back, or it can’t be solved anymore, you keep everything inside and it starts to hurt you even more, and questions start to develop within yourself…….WHY????
It can get so bad that it starts to influence your daily life and it starts to feel you can’t get anything right and because of all these sorrow and worries you may think life is not worth living for anymore.

With this song we tried to create this conversation (story) till the bridge, at this intermezzo we try to create a peaceful harmony within yourself, and the last bit the re-assurance that no matter what the answer is always within yourself, there’s always a solution for everything or a shoulder to cry on is closer then you think.
Keeping everything inside is never a solution for anybody, only when your heart and soul is free and you are fully in harmony with yourself, nothing can stop you from being happy with your life.
We realise it’s a lot easier said then done, but any worry, grief, pain or sorrow is “A Story to be Told”

Songtext  :      "Engel gehen durchs Feuer"

Du ich weiss, du wirst mir fehlen
Eine Welt wird untergeh'n
Ich werd meinen Weg alleine gehen
Engel gehn durchs Feuer
Für Einen, der sie liebt
Und wer denkt dabei ans Ende
Wenn man über Wolken fliegt
Engel gehn durchs Feuer
Und für dich hab ich's getan
So was Grosses kommt so schnell nicht mehr
Wir war'n doch ganz nah dran
Du ich weiss, du wirst mir fehlen
Komm vergiss mich, wenn du kannst
Was soll ich dir noch erzählen
Hab dich aus dem Kopf getanzt
Und ich weiss, du wirst mir fehlen
Hab total an uns geglaubt
Ich lern ohne dich zu leben
Irgendwie
Fühl mich gut wie nie
Engel geh'n durchs Feuer
Für Einen, der sie liebt
Wer hat Schuld, frag doch die Sterne
Irgendwie hab'n wir's versiebt
Aber Engel gehn durch's Feuer
Wenn die Liebe einfach geht
Sie verbrennen ihre Flügel
Und dann ist es halt zu spät
Du ich weiss, du wirst mir fehlen
Komm vergiss mich, wenn du kannst
Was soll ich dir noch erzählen
Hab dich aus dem Kopf getanzt
Und ich weiss, du wirst mir fehlen
Hab total an uns geglaubt
Ich lern ohne dich zu leben
Irgendwie
Fühl mich gut wie nie
Engel gehn durch's Feuer
Deine Liebe war's mir wert
Lief den Träumen einfach hinterher
Die Richtung war verkehrt
Du ich weiss…….


Oliver Papke & John Styles - Engel Gehn Durchs Feuer

Welcome to another collab between John Styles and Colin Powell (aka https://soundcloud.com/a-multitude-of-one).

For me this song went through the weirdest development ever, I composed this song 30-5-15 for a school project, as Matt Baker and I were very busy with our Feng Shui project, I’ve send the 1st premix to Colin and asked him if he could add some guitars to it.
Colin send me a completely unexpected mix back for me to consider, without guitars (as to his opinion the guitars were already spot on) but he added beautiful flute and French horn to it instead.

At first this piece was motivated on the situation in the world with all the attacks and war everywhere.
Then I wanted to make this piece longer playing along with all the tracks, as I felt with the additional tracks from Colin I could also change the message into something beautiful, for example if you come at spots in the world where nature shows it’s splendour, the calmness and relaxing feeling you can get enjoying it.
But for some reason nothing worked, so I put this song aside as I wanted to try it later again.
But this song never left me alone, and I kept trying but for some reason whatever I did with those tracks nothing seem to work or sound alright to me.
Then I suffered from a mid-ear infection for 6 weeks, and couldn’t hear properly what I was doing (which frustrated me even more), I wasn’t able to perform proper productions anymore.
The more I tried the worse the song became, so after my ears started to get better, I took the original song, trying to find out what was going wrong all the time, as I never experienced this before.
I decided that I would listen to it over and over again, and trying to find the proper cover for the release, until it would hit me, I came across 2 pictures 1 as you can see now and 1 of me walking in the hills taken from behind.
Without going into detail, the latest developments and disappointments I had to go through in my life, finally gave this piece a meaning, and it also made me realize the song was ready all along.
I always tried to make music for others, to give comfort and bring positive emotions to them.
But to accomplish that, there’s always this moment that you’re “Numb” or “Speechless”, you’ve got no idea what hit you, first you have to go through that face, and to accept the facts that brought you there, then you can climb up, and find the right road to continue your life.
No matter what, accepting the truth (how hard it can be) is always better then a soaring wound, I tried my hardest to push those feelings away, like there was nothing going on, but it just made things worse.
It’s better to deal with those feelings and get them out in the open, so your inner wound can heal.
When I listen to this song myself, I can hear the Guitars, the Piano and the French Horn expressing all my sorrows and pain, and the Flute and Strings trying to comfort me and pulling me out of this painful thoughts.
It’s OK to be “Speechless” it’s a faze you have to go through, in the long run it will make you stronger.
The open ending I left in this piece (on purpose) is so that everybody can fill in their own story or meaning.
I am grateful to Colin for the 2 tracks he made, unintentionally those were exactly what this piece needed, at least I think so, and who knows I might pick up this song one more time and redo it all over again.

Composer & Arrangements:  John Styles
Flute and French Horn:  Colin Powell
All other instruments:  John Styles

We hope you’ll enjoy this piece, and it will give you some comfort and relaxation to you life too, all your comments and advices are very much appreciated as always, cheers John and Colin
