RIVENDELLANDIA - Das Sterben der Magier (1 hour symphony in 1 track) by Rainer Struck - Version 2016

ambient rock symphony and symphonic dances by Rainer Struck. Introduction by narrator Daniel Manson & Joey Sand. "The first records of his life date from 1689, when he was a member of a French-English pirate crew that sailed in the Caribbean. ... Kidd was hanged on 23 May 1701, at 'Execution Dock', Wapping, in London. During the execution, the hangman's rope broke and Kidd was hanged on the second attempt. His body was gibbeted over the River Thames at Tilbury Point - as a warning to future would-be pirates - for three years." Wikipedia  

Electronica with big orchestral sounds. The historical background is the life of William Kidd. Although it is more about feelings and backgrounds, as to documentation. Rainer Struck worked on the "Pirate" from 1999 to 2003 with his friends Andreas Krüger (technics), KA (DarkbeatGenerator) and Magic D7. Final recordings 2003 in Escheburg studio (TSO).

At my age, I only do what is fun! True to the motto of Jules Verne: "Those who were born to be hanged cannot die by drowning!"

ERROTOK The Worthless Elf (Rivendellandia) symphonic dream by Rainer Struck

The British music magazine SEQUENCES (electronic music) in a CD-review 1996: " ... BRENT SPAR ... shows this off well with a strong classical start plummeting into a full blown prog-rock piece, guitars wailing against thundering drums. The violent end to the oil rig is depicted in bizarre mournful screams reminding you of what a catastrophic disaster could do, ending so many lives in a brief moment in time, so brutal! " The Brent Spar's owners, the oil company Shell, decided 1995 to sink the old , crude oil storage at the bottom of the North Atlantic... What an insane abuse of our nature!"

Only when you look into your heart you will find your dream. Who looks outside, dreams. Who looks inside, awakens.  

Wenn du deine Liebe suchen willst,  schließe die Augen!  
Folge dann der Hexe der dunklen Elfen !
Die Schwerkraft schwindet. Die Flüsse fliessen bergauf.
Nur wenn du in dein Herz hinein schaust, wirst du deinen Traum finden.
Wer um sich herum schaut, der träumt. 
Wer in sich hineinschaut, der erwacht."

Caipora is an entity of the Tupi-Guarani mythology in Brazil. It is represented as a dark-skinned, small Indian, naked with a black mane, smoking a cigar and very mischievous. Sometimes it's said that he has his feet turned backwards, to deceive trackers. The Caipora also is said to help the people that are kind to the forest and hurt those who hurt it. It is known as a forest dweller, as a king of the animals of sorts and very vengeful of hunters who do not respect the rules of "fair-play" when hunting. It is told that it scares away prey and "hides" animal tracks or makes hunters lose their way in the jungle.

Jaggons Triumph (Rivendellandia) epic soundtrack by Rainer Struck

sadness is a wall between two gardens (Khalil Gibran)
(Traurigkeit ist nur eine Wand zwischen zwei Gärten)
romantic strings  "The sound of violins makes the soul sing along!"
Music is inconceivable without technology. The art of manufacturing AND the technique of eliciting a beautiful sound from the musical instrument. And so it is since thousands of years! I had to learn it when my mother gave me her "beloved violin" and I tried 13 year old boy to create a Violin sound.  With horsehair bow, pain ointment, by feeling and patience I managed this ... after 3 weeks! The sound was miserably. I knew I would never be a violinist! However the sound fascinates me to this day. I play the violin still sometimes when no one is listening. I worked again with young string musicians. Students. Girls and boys a youth orchestra and particularly I think of the students Matthias Niemeyer. We recorded my music and made a lot of violin samples! The sound engineer and I, we always had goosebumps when Matthias properly "made music"! Just why! Bach was constantly looking for excellent organ builders (for example, the Silbermann brothers), I am always looking for excellent programmers. Programmers who could conjure THE OPTIMAL sound of string instruments .... Using hundreds of Violin samples and complex processors technology. They work mostly anonymous, but they are true masters! Then I have to work on how I can use the sound "appropriate conditions" just as a composer. And how can I set the sound with my compositional technique correctly. Recently I found a master of sounds, virtually an "electronic organ builder"! Listen for yourself! Why the "string sound"? I dont know! Perhaps because it was invented over many centuries by thousands of musicians and continuously developed. As far as I know, at least since the 8th century in the Middle East. In Europe, the victory of the violins started especially in the Baroque and Romantic. Today it unites people of Asia, China, Japan with the Europeans and the Americans. This is almost mystical! Only to be compared with the piano sound. Today there are thousands of electronic sound patterns that impress me very much. But no one has this "eighth" dimension! The dimension of the soul - singing along.

BURN IT DOWN - Mephisto Rock feat Magic D7 (guit)

Light, joie de vivre, sadness, youth, strength, age, fate, transience and youth. All of this can only be endured through dance. And if only your heart dances!  

Licht, Lebensfreude, Trauer, Jugend, Kraft, Alter, Schicksal, Vergänglichkeit und Jugend. All das ist nur durch den Tanz zu ertragen. Und wenn auch nur dein Herz tanzt!

Music by Rainer Struck, rock keyboarder & specialist for orchestral sounds  Electronic music with orchestral sound patterns - Ambient is not a music style. Ambient in music is an intimate attitude for nature and our world. 134 beautiful music tracks - free download mp3 - a special form of ambient and a conscious turning away from the conventional use of spherical sound spaces without compositional structures. A movement towards post-romantic harmonies, counterpoint and complex symphonic melodies. In particular, the return to dynamic and musical dialectic (light-dark / slow-fast / loud-quiet) plays an essential role.
