How I enjoyed listening to your concert Richard, thank you…

Beautiful and intimate performance. Very high quality recording work too. Really captures all the little incidental sounds of the space that gives it that up close fly on the wall feel for the listener

"Ars longa, vita brevis" translated from the Latin is understood to mean "Art is long, life is short".

Ars Longa

Promise of rebirth

Many of us can see the manipulations of fear based mind control, we will see the light but we just have to hold our position!

 Molti di noi possono vedere le manipolazioni del controllo mentale basato sulla paura, vedremo la luce ma dobbiamo solo mantenere la nostra posizione!

Promise of rebirth

Just Breathe

Live Concert - Gotland

Neoclassical electronica with a touch of medieval mood and magic...

This track is one of many in a ongoing fantasy project with original music by several musicians from the label Legacy of Thought (LoT) telling the tales of magical adventure and friendship within a fantasy world inspired by the world of Dungeons & Dragons...

5. Alestein Ulrune (Male Half-Elf Bard by Andawan)

Alestein Ulrune was born to an elven mother and a human father in a small village in the heart of the High Forest. From a young age, Alestein was fascinated by music and song, and would spend hours singing and playing his lute in the woods. His mother, a skilled bard herself, recognized her son's talents and encouraged him to pursue his passion.

As Alestein grew older, he became more confident in his musical abilities and began performing in local taverns and inns. It was during one of these performances that he first met Ariann the Triton ranger, who had come to the village in search of a skilled bard to accompany her on her adventures.

Impressed by Alestein's skill and charisma, Ariann offered him a place in her band of adventurers. Alestein eagerly accepted, thrilled at the prospect of seeing the world and using his music to aid his new companions.

Over the next few years, Alestein traveled far and wide with Ariann and her companions, honing his musical talents and using them to bolster his allies in battle. He became particularly close with Riven the Groundbreaker, and the two quickly became fast friends.

Alestein's bardic magic proved invaluable to the group, and his songs and spells helped them triumph over countless foes. He also developed a close bond with “Lucksy” Obsidian, who appreciated his music and often asked him to accompany her on her own adventures.

As Alestein continued to travel and perform with his friends, he began to develop a sense of purpose beyond mere entertainment. He saw the power of music to inspire and uplift, and began using his bardic magic to heal wounds and lift spirits, becoming a true force for good in the world.

Now, years later, Alestein has become a renowned bard, known and beloved throughout the land for his powerful voice and inspiring performances. He still travels with Ariann and his other friends, but has also taken on apprentices of his own, passing on his love of music and magic to a new generation.

Through a Glass Darkly: A Prelude

Richard Hellgren is a Swedish composer and multi-instrumentalist, residing on the island of Gotland in the Baltic Sea. His music is known for its minimalistic and contemplative character, often touching upon themes of melancholy and poetry. Richard's unique style of composition stems from his special relationship with his old Malmsjö upright piano, which he uses to create most of his recordings.
As a building architect, Richard draws inspiration from the creative process of composing music. He believes that both architecture and music revolve around the concept of space and silence, respectively. In his own words, "Architecture is about encompassing space and music is about encompassing silence!"
Richard's music has been praised by notable sources, with one reviewer describing his work as "hauntingly beautiful, with a melancholic edge that lingers long after the last note has played." His first EP, Ainigma, was released on the New York label Sonder House in June 2019, followed by his second release, Felt Transience, on the same label in October 25.
Richard Hellgren's unique approach to composition and his ability to evoke emotions through his music make him a rising star in the industry. His work is not to be missed.
