brilliant composition all the instruments you used and the minimal vocal is very captivating. great work! xx

Excellent work Richard....and super sound.

A very good and exciting track. I like how you used the tremolo strings. Really great! 👍

Irish harp sounds great...and VST vocals blend in so well. Great Atmosphere! ☀️

Just listened to this. Sensational track, Richard!

Fantastic soundtrack Richard. Thanks for the description which really creates the matching pictures in my head. Lovely work!

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.

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 :)

Oh WOW! Over 2000 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.

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:

EDIT 23 April 2025 - I will not use any AI technology that interferes with the realm of creativity in human culture. And I will not support people who use such technology to deceive others by claiming authorship of compositions/songs/images created by generative AI.

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  :)

*This image of canned, creamed possum, which I found years ago on the internet, and the idea of canning possum (and possum road kill), has intrigued and fascinated me for some time. As I was writing what I thought was a 'sexy' vocal on top of Oussama's sexy track, this song kept interrupting the process, and so much so that I thought I would get it out of my system to quiet the impulse, and then continue on with the original song.
I actually love possums and think they get a bad rap for being too aggressive. 
Stay tuned for the other version...

I do not support the use of generative AI in music creation. I will not support people who use such technologies nor will I use them. The two songs I posted only serve to raise awareness of the existence of such technologies and as a warning.

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 in 1998 until April 2022. My music is created in Ableton Live 11 Intro (until december 2022) and 11 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.
