The best track I've listened in April 2024 on SoundCloud. Their order does not matter and is only a result of the order in which I came across these songs.

REMASTERED with Fast Balancer.

A little tribute to "Firefly" TV series.

The idea to create this track came to me while testing @spitfire-labs Lap Steel library which came to my attention thanks to @baramataharipagi.

Disclaimer: I have no affiliation to producers of this series. I didn't use any of the music from it. It's pure fan production inspired by "Firefly's" atmosphere.

The Last Flight of "Serenity" (REMASTERED)

A little quickie. I had fun testing Spitfire Originals!: Epic Strings, Epic Brass + Woodwinds and Cinematic Percussions.

© & ℗ R.U.R. 2022

Be Prepared

...in the year 2023 ;)

Another quicky made with Originals Epic Strings, Epic Brass + Woodwinds and Cinematic Percussion. Sadly there is a bug in Epic Strings which can be heard at the beginning on 2nd and 3rd bar/tact that I couldn't avoid. I hope Spitfire resolves it and then I'll upload corrected version.

A track for imaginary game set in fantasy world.

Choose Your Path Wisely

I've never thought that I ever write a tango... And here it is, after playing with Valhalla Supermassive plugin it emerged out of nowhere. I hope You'll enjoy listening to it or even try to dance to it, even if it sounds a little apocalyptic ;)

Tango 'Til the End of the World

Lately I've been soaking up dub/neo-dub music thanks to @jonauversen and somehow it had to come out of me ;) A lot help with it I've received from @spitfire-labs and their amazing free LABS library Trumpet Fields which was the main impulse that this song was created at all.

Thank You for 1000 plays! ❤️

HAPPY EASTER everyone!

It's a happy one from me this time ;) It's really rare and I hope You'll enjoy :)

It's a tribute to old times (early '90 of 20th century) when Amiga was my main source of fun and my music creation tool. 

I created this piece on August 28, 2022 but I wasn't technically ready to release it. I was really green at the time in music production. So it was in my "drawer" until couple days ago. I've tweaked it a bit and here we are!

Thanks to Alexander Stratonov @ephtrackx for his patience and lots of mixing advices.

AMIGAzed

This is my little story. Close your eyes and go with Ryan Gosling and his car ("Drive") to the night ride through rainy, bladerunnerish, big City of Lights 😉

For anyone who needs a bit of calm down after an intense day at work.

All begun with downloading free version of Vital Synth...
Same day made some loops with it and next day do the little jamming with them. I did some improvisation that had to be edited a bit, but I hope it's passable 😉

I hope You enjoy it and thank You kindly for listening.

Thanks go to @jusmaks for being my test driver and helping balance the bass 💛

Vital Signs

This track is a tribute to genre which flourish in 90's, a love letter to bands like US3, Jazzmatazz, Incognito, Brand New Heavies, Groove Collective and of course Miles Davies and his marvellous "Doo-Bop".

I started working on this piece around July 2022. I've stuck on my inability to do any advanced jazz solos/improvisation and embellishments so this track ended up in my "musical drawer".
Luckily, after finishing my previous piece "Vital Signs", where I used sax VST, I shyly approached Jörg aka @joerxworx with a request to evaluate my saxophone scribbles and a proposal to finish my unrealized piece.
Jörg turned out to be a nice, understanding guy who willingly joined this project. At this point, I would like to thank him very much for this wonderful contribution to this piece, a lot of advice he gave me and a lot of patience for my slow work.

If You like this piece You should definitely check Jörg's page, he created lot of amazing tracks!

Thanks for reading this, listening to our track, and I hope You will enjoy it as much as we enjoyed working on it!

The Two of Us

The Two of Us (feat. joerxworx)

Some time ago @dj-pietrekb showed me a great free Kontakt (it works on free Player version) plug-in called Arcane by Embertone. I decided to use one of the 4 "instruments" contained in it (that unusual single female vocal) to create this little track.
Beside that I've used a great UVI DXS synthesizer from the Digital Synsations pack, Massive and, known to those who follow my tracks: Epic Choir, Epic Strings and Cinematic Percussion from the Originals series by Spitfire, Flutes and Trumpets from Spitfire's Free BBC SO Discovery.
I used 2 samples: Djembe 120bpm from Ableton Live's Core Library and Chimes Finger Down from, also Ableton's, Drum Essentials pack.

While creating this track, I noticed that it sounds very similar to Ennio Morricone's works, especially those from the movie "The Mission" 😉 which was not my intention at all... It just turned out that way 😆

I hope you like it at least a little bit.

Have You Seen an Elf?

Thank You for 1000 plays ❤️

This is a second part of my triptych "Memories From the City of Light", begun with "Vital Signs". A love theme, a story of my heroes love – full of uncertainty, unfulfillment and even danger... Creating this piece I had in mind two couples: Rachel and Rick Deckard from Ridley Scott's "Blade Runner" and Irene and Driver from Nicolas Winding Refn's "Drive".

This track is also a homage to one of the greatest composers - Ewangelos Odiseas Papathanasiu aka Vangelis.

In production again I've reach out for help to Jörg aka @joerxworx and his tenor saxophone on which he beautifully performed, catching the atmosphere of this track in couple of amazing sounds – thank You my friend for Your patience!

Story behind the scenes:

This track was created one day (about 4 weeks ago) when I had one beer that went hard to my head. I sat before my computer and tried to listen my previous tracks and I felt very unsatisfied by all that music. It felt like everything was... heartless.
In that moment I took all my feelings, all memories of happy and not so happy love to create this track.

In the process I got mad at my 2 octaves Novation LaunchKey mini keyboard, because my hands almost couldn't fit both on such a small device... and I understood it limits my creativity... Time to change... something ;)

Also it's a first time I played without metronome. This track is completely devoid of tempo. These are the pure emotions of playing live.

The Space Between Us

The Space Between Us (feat. joerxworx)

Thank you very much for 1000 plays! ❤️

And again I'm returning to Fantasy Land...
This time my bunch of misfits are going on a little trip and this short piece could be the background for these scenes.

First was Irish Harp which I wanted to test at last after getting it for free. Three base sounds was the idea that shaped rest of the track on the initially endless loop with time signature set to 3/4 on which I've layered the higher pitched melody that came out organically. Then I thought that I add some vocal VST which I've tested previously on "Have you Seen an Elf?". I wanted to check how it's perform on more intimate ground of folk song.

In my head I had a picture of a medieval inn and a bard starting his musical story. At some point, the picture shifts to a group of heroes travelling through austere, gray and blue, dark and cold places, villages where people in coarse robes work, sometimes rainy, sometimes sunny and green landscapes. Some scenes showing our group from a bird's eye view, slowly and laboriously moving towards the goal. The music ends when they arrive...
Musically, I wanted the initially intimate theme to change, or rather expand, into a symphonic illustration in accordance with the image and the advancing journey. So that, apart from the theme, there would be a depth complementing the image, also more and more distant from the initial location.

I've used:
DAW Ableton Live Standard
Kontakt Player Irish Harp
Kontakt Player Arcane Voice (Realivox Blue Demo)
Spitfire LABS Amplified Cello Quartet,
Spitfire LABS Uilleann Pipes
Spitfire Originals Epic Strings
Spitfire BBC SO Discovery - Flutes
One MIDI loop from Abletone Live's pack "Mood Reel" - Cello Impact 114bpm - as a percussive track.

Thank You kindly for listening and I hope You'll like it a bit.

Thank You for 1000 plays! ❤️

When exercise in mixing bass changes into track ;) It's a kind of medieval/celtic triphop track. I've again returned to Irish Harp. Now there are 3 of them ;)

Imagine.... A medieval castle town stretching around the defensive walls. The girl around 18, with long hair getting out from home. She grabs basket and a shawl and runs outside. It's an early morning, the light is cold and it is a bit misty... she goes down the street close to the wall, she has the tight dress with more open bottom. She begin to dance... This is modern dance. Something between classical and jazz with modern additions of head and hands movement. When she dance more and more girls join her dance with simultaneous movements...

It's an anachronism like in "The Knight's Tale" dance scene:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Sv_E86eJELE

Thank You for 1000 plays ♥️

My next track for Halloween 🎃
This time created using only free Spitfire LABS VSTi's.
I hope you will enjoy listening to it, and that it will even please you a little.

The story behind the music:
Devastated by the loss of his beloved, the Scientist, working on creating a brain-computer interface, desperately longs to return to those moments of happiness that defined their love. In an attempt to revive his memories and rekindle the feelings buried deep within his soul, he embarked on the creation of a system that would enable him to travel through time within his own mind, exploring those fleeting fragments of happiness.
After a successful initial attempt, however, a system overload occurred, causing a glitch that eluded his attention. In his subsequent endeavor, instead of immersing himself in blissful memories, the Scientist found himself in the dark labyrinth of his worst nightmares, lurking in the deepest recesses of his subconscious. He ended up as a shadow of a deranged soul, tormented by phantoms and obsessive fears, imprisoned within the macabre dreams he had inadvertently crafted.

🎄 Merry Christmas Everyone! 🎄

Why this title? In the area of ​​Poland where I live, there was a custom that Christmas Eve began when the first star appeared in the sky. So fasten your seat belts and I invite you on a melancholy journey back to childhood, when we were all waiting for that first star.

I hope You'll like it at least a bit.

This is a piece I composed in December 2022, but I didn't post it because I couldn't finish it in time. Now I finally finished it, and even improved it a bit, and here we are...
Thank you @grzegorzkawka for some advice and for being my "test driver" this time.

I've used:
DAW @ableton Live 11 Standard
The main heros of this track are @nativeinstruments Massive synth and @spitfireaudio BBC SO Discover with some additions of Originals: Epic Choir, Epic Strings and Media Toolkit - Piano.
Drum and Bass MIDI Loop: Chekov Kit groove 02_114 bpm from Ableton's Drum Essentials
and some percussive one shots samples.

This is little experiment for me - a revamp of an other persons track.
About 4 months ago I came across a song by Donak RV "Duo Melodica" https://soundcloud.com/donakrv/duo-melodica. I really liked it, and since I was working on the song "You Can Count on Us", I had a free nylon guitar from @heavyocitymedia Foundations on hand. I started improvising to it... and this remix/revamp was born ;) I sent Donak RV a sample and he agreed to let me perform this "devastation" of his track ;) This version is made on the basis of an MP3 file downloaded from the author's profile. A stem version is still in development.

I hope You'll like it at least a bit :)

Happy New Year Everyone! 
It's been a bit of a crazy and dark year, but...
It's a joy of being here listening to Your music and share with You mine for the entire 2023. I'm looking forward for Your next Year music. 

This is my newest, one evening project. I'm posting this as an experiment ;) This is me as I am, playing live in one take, then edited it a bit... It was a total improvisation... The piece developed as I played it. Apart from the background music, nothing was thought out. What came out is what came out ;)
It was a test of my new keyboard Nektar Impact GXP61 which I got for Christmas from my mom. Sorry, my left hand really feels like wood ;) But now I have a reason to make it move and play... And this was pure fun to make :) 

Thank You kindly for listening and I hope you like it at least a little bit!

This is small project in which I've used only 3 instruments: Spitfire Originals Epic Brass + Woodwinds - Woodwinds Live, Originals Media Tool Kit - Piano and VSL Free Celestial Strings.

On the photo is my "gear": old - on my desk and new - on the drawer shelf :)

Let's Rise the Glass Again

Let's Rise the Glass Again (improvisation)

I am very grateful for the over 1,200 plays of this very personal track. To think I was hesitant to even post it... Thank you so much! ❤️

In our lives, we are granted the opportunity to witness the departure of our loved ones. Some depart through doors, never to return, yet still exist somewhere. Others leave suddenly, unexpectedly. Yet some depart when we are somewhat prepared, for their age predisposes them to it. However, there are also departures more challenging... when we observe the tree of the mind of a beloved, from which memories' leaves fall, and even the freshest, youngest cannot hold on to it. We cannot help, we can only watch how they fall...

Composing this little piece was very personal. It was combined with the realization of a fact from my immediate surroundings. I left all imperfections of my playing because of how I felt at that moment. It wasn't an improvisation, it was an interpretation of a theme that I've developed few minutes earlier. All done on Autograph Grand from Spitfire LABS free libraries collection @spitfire-labs

No A.I. was used to create this track!

Around January 20th my friend from work asked me to prepare for him some music for his graphics reel project. And here is result. Mostly done in one evening. Original track has 36 seconds, however, for SoundCloud purposes, I extended this "track" and added a finish. Finally this track didn't find his way to final product, but I think it's a decent project to share ;)

Main hero of this track is still awesome, 18 years old, soft synth from Native Instruments - Massive. Beside that I've used heavily filtered Heavyocity Foundation Emotive Choir and couple of percussive samples from Ableton Live libraries.

Make me a Believer -SK

what can i say my love,  are you dreamer?
i fall from above.  are you a believer?

you didn't think you wanted more
you thought you wanted just a score

that's just the reality, another casualty
in our love war

now you say you wanted more and you pleaded
now you show me the hero that i needed

what can i say my love
i'm a dreamer

wanted to believe the love inside has seeded
wanting more,  a tug of war, and I'm defeated 
 
and i fell from above
make me a believer


remember what you said?!
i move the pawns, your aim's not tricking me
my queen defends the head, 
and i'm still king, he's not leaving me!

never's what i said!
now you got me started in believing.
i thought my heart was dead.
oh don't make me a casualty.


(heart speaks to mind) 

"that's not what you said. 
no.. i, i just,
look i don't have time to be played

i wasn't planning on it 
no.. but..i, i'm telling you...
you don't know what you want, ok?  
you don't know what you want


you got my heart fighting with my mind
i don't know what i'm doing
don't know what i am choosing. 
i don't need another bruising. 

i want to believe inside i'm needed
i am wanting more, but i'm  defeated 
 
and i fall so from above
make me a believer

make me a believer
don't be a deceiver

i want to believe that i'm needed, in this love i need.
make me a believer. 



Producer Mathew May

Make me a Believer - SK

This is one of those songs, you just had to get off your chest! All of you creatives will understand that. Its not the hippest or the coolest song , even the music  is understated and the production is lacking, but the words are where the heart is .

Thank you for all of your wonderful plays playlists and shares, very much appreciated!

This time, I return to the realm of fantasy, where my characters, upon arriving in the North, found themselves in the dwarven mines. There, they are to meet with the Dwarf King's son, who will task them with aiding in uncovering the mystery surrounding his father's death, slain in a goblin ambush. However, before this occurs, they take part in a funeral ceremony.

To craft this piece, I utilized only the free VSTi's by ProjectSAM @projectsam: Free Orchestra 1 and 2. I've begun working on it 2 months ago... It's one of my over 30 projects in development ;)

Thanks goes to my friends and test drivers: kavvka @grzegorzkawka and Alexander Stratonov @ephtrackx

Funeral of the Dwarven King

PLEASE READ THIS! THIS IS NOT A PROMOTION!
I'm posting this here as a curiosity and... a sorts of warning. Artificial Intelligence has entered the sphere of music creation. And it hits with enormous power...

This is a song that my wife (she's German Language teacher) generated using Suno.ai in about 2 minutes, just giving it a prompt to generate a rock song. Its lyrics come from a really cheesy song included in a children's textbook. She just wanted the song to sound more accessible to today's kids. She didn't actually realize what this song would cause. And it left me completely shocked and actually questioning the point of further activities in music... 

My wife, by generating this song, gave the A.I. ​​a lot of scope for its own "imagination". She did not specify the structure of the song or the elements to be included in it - which can be set by entering appropriate comments in the song's text. What surprised me is how wisely the A.I. ​​approached this task, how it determined what should be included in this song. A huge surprise for me is the second part of the song, where the A.I., having no more lyrics, created something incredible, using elements such as triplet, half-time and returning when we expect the song to have ended. What's even more surprising is that the A.I. ​​understood that it was a song in German and was inspired by German-speaking bands such as Die Ärzte and used the typical German song structure, including the sound of the vocals.

Yes, I know, I do music for fun, but I still don't know what to do next... I'm thinking how it will impact the music industry? Let's talk about it in the comments and remember - let's be polite.

Below is a link to the original song, I improved it a bit, but whether it's for the better is a matter of taste:
https://app.suno.ai/song/180bb869-7d3f-47d7-86fa-8f44261ee80c/
And here is another one that left me speechless, also generated by my wife:

(WARNING! This was generated by A.I.) Du kannst ja mal... (das Tierbuch fragen)

In memoriam Daniel C. Dennett (1942-2024)
"In Walt Disney's classic animated film Dumbo, about the little elephant who learns to spread his giant ears and fly, there is a pivotal scene in which a dubious—indeed terrified—Dumbo is being cajoled by his friends, the crows, to leap offa cliff into the air, proving to himself that he can fly. One of the crows has a bright idea. When Dumbo isn't looking he plucks a tail feather from one of his kind and then ceremonially hands it to Dumbo, announcing that it is a magic feather: So long as Dumbo clutches it in his trunk, he can fly! The scene is presented with masterful economy. No explanation is provided, since even small children get the point without being told: The feather isn't really magic; it's a prosthetic device, a belief-crutch of sorts that will get Dumbo off the ground by the power of positive thinking. Now imagine a variation on that scene. Imagine that one of the other crows, a 
village skeptic who is smart enough to see what trick is being played but not smart enough to see its virtue, starts trying to inform Dumbo of the truth as he perches on the cliff edge, feather held tightly. "Stop that crow!" the children would shriek. Stifle that smarty-pants, quick, before he ruins it for Dumbo!
 
In the eyes of some, I am that crow."
(Daniel C. Dennett, Freedom Evolves, 2003)

WARNING - This is ENTIRELY A.I. generated song!!!

So... this is my first attempt at A.I. generated music. I tried this on www.udio.com. However, it is not completely created by me from scratch, but for this first time I've used it, I took a fragment of someone else's song, which stuck in my heart with its mood (I am an incurable romantic). I really regretted that it didn't have a beginning and an end, so... I generated my own. The track came out really awesome, so I've decided to share it with You. It really resonate with me... And now someone say that this A.I. generated music does not evoke emotions...

Here is the original from I've made my extension. 
https://www.udio.com/songs/qg79XfYiiHp2x8kgSyBkGa
Here is my extension on Udio, where You can see how in text field I've prompted A.I. to do what I wanted: 
https://www.udio.com/songs/smVu17fJngJTLVjdJLuUjf
And link to my alternative version which have I think really awesome ending: https://www.udio.com/songs/k6RtJUvcLzPtsNUcTUnTVi

Here is the list of songs I've found on Udio that are really great. It's worth to check out to have an idea, how good can be A.I. (guided by talented people) in music generation! 
https://www.udio.com/playlists/exHSspXpwQHSdce2rfA1QF

However, I still don't know what to do with this technology. There is no return to the state before it appeared, so we will have to live with it. But will I use it... I don't think so, at least not yet. For now I can't say its human influenced creation. Until they turn it into something like Crea or Leonardo, where a human influences every aspect of the work being created, or even gives A.I. directives on what it should look like, feeding it with your ideas, this is not the technology for me... Or maybe I don't know how to use it...

But time passes and sooner or later such technology will appear. Then we will be able to put aside our plugins and DAWs and create/generate whatever we dream of at the speed of thought  :)

Endless Nights (R.U.R.'s extension)

OK. I've reverted to unmastered file... In my opinion that what automatic mastering done was horrible... Nevertheless, you can listen to it here and form your own opinion:

No A.I. involved. Only me, keyboard, recently bought sustain pedal, free Soundpaint Piano with built-in shimmer reverb, some compression and Ozone 9 Elements on master channel set to jazz.

Little theme I've conceived on evening May 27th after watching the last episode of "The Devil's Hour". Simple melody and chords... a draft. Let's say it's a version 0.5 ;) Half improvisation, half interpretation of something that came to my head 30 minutes earlier. Lots of hesitation, a bit mistakes, two edited notes on ending of first part... and the double ending ;) I'm still human, and a bad keyboard player ;) Recorded in one take.

That was assembled (put together from bricks of ready to use samples) for fun in DanceMachine software in late '90.

For now I'm not using A.I. while creating my music. I share songs generated by A.I. only for informational purposes to make the unaware aware of the coming revolution in music.

At the beginning I would like to sincerely apologize that I am responding to comments late and I am sometimes unable to keep up with listening to your work, but I still work full-time in a profession that has absolutely nothing to do with music and I have my duties towards family and home.

To everyone who flew into my corner on SoundCloud: I am grateful for your support with likes, shares and thank you for the great comments. Please don't hesitate to suggest changes to my music in them. Thanks to this, the next songs will be better and better.

All my music is MIDI (except some drum loops), played/created by me and edited in Ableton Live.

---------------------------

Born in 1970. Music fan since 1985. Now heaving fun with making music. I'm self-taught, playing everything by ear. Started in 1990's but due to certain circumstances left until April 2022. My music is created in Ableton Live Intro (until december 2022) and Standard with mostly free plug-ins. Fan of soundtracks (my personal heros are John Williams, Clint Mansell, Philip Glass, Thomas Newman, Hans Zimmer and much more), world music (Dead Can Dance), chillout (Bent, Zero7, Groove Armada, St. Germain, Air, Röyksopp, Kosheen and more), trip-hop (Massive Attack, Portishead), acid jazz (Us 3), fusion (Pat Metheny Group, Dirty Loops), progressive rock (Porcupine Tree), classical (Tchaikovsky, Mozart, Debussy, Orff, Mussorgsky) electronica (Imogen Heap), IDM/House (Moderat, Apparat, Plaid) and electronic music (Vangelis, Kraftwerk, Isao Tomita, Marek Biliński, J.J. Jarre).

Still learning how to produce music.
