Our Lord, you bless everyone
    who lives right
    and obeys your Law.
You bless all of those
who follow your commands
    from deep in their hearts
     and who never do wrong
    or turn from you.
(Psalm 119:1-3)

‘Supreme Architect,’ the latest release from neo-classical composer Richard Dobeson, builds new sound architectures with intense rhythms, dramatic textures and exhilarating melodies. Richard Dobeson, who lives in Madrid, creates cinematic compositions from the comfort of his home studio, transporting listeners to sonic universes, using imagination and self-expression as his primary tool.

‘Supreme Architect’ is no exception, blending together Richard Dobeson’s classical knowledge with contemporary and electronic sounds. Rhythmic percussion and powerful drums steer the ship, decorated with fervent sequencers and ambient synthesizers that create dynamics and suspense. There is almost jarring tension to the arrangement, crafting sinister and dramatic changes that leave a long-lasting impact, while mesmeric string sections and the simple strum of an acoustic guitar add euphoric layers, leaving listeners to contemplate the drama of ‘Supreme Architect.’

Set to release a single every 6 weeks, ‘Supreme Architect’ follows Richard Dobeson’s previous cinematic singles ‘Largo,’ and ‘Seventy-Seven.’ Dobeson himself is the architect here, constructing both grandeur and delicacy through the intricate details and soulful spirit of his music.

"The Best News" is a neo-classical electronic Christmas composition that brings the timeless story of light and hope to life. In just one minute, this musical piece captures the joy and wonder of the holiday season, inspired by the biblical message of Luke 2:8-15.  

Christmas is a time to celebrate the most extraordinary news in history: the birth of Jesus Christ, the Light of the World.

This message of hope and redemption transcends time, resonating deeply with all who reflect on its meaning.  

The video complements the music with stunning visuals that immerse you in the beauty of the season.

Fir branches, glowing lights, and swirling star animations create a sense of wonder, leading us to the shepherds watching their flocks.  

In a dramatic moment, the angel Gabriel appears, announcing the good news of great joy for all people: “Today, in the town of David, a Savior has been born to you.” As the heavenly light intensifies, we see the Nativity scene—a humble manger where Mary and Joseph gaze lovingly at Baby Jesus, the Light of the World.  

This video is more than just music; it is an invitation to reflect on the deeper meaning of Christmas. In a world that can feel dark, cold, or overwhelming, the birth of Jesus reminds us that there is hope, joy, and salvation for all.  

Perfect for those who love cinematic storytelling and uplifting music, "The Best News" is a heartfelt reminder of the transformative power of the Christmas story. Let the music and visuals inspire you to celebrate this season with gratitude and let the Light of the World shine in your heart.

The Best News

This neoclassical electronic composition, inspired by Christian values of Brotherhood, weaves a tapestry of serene melodies and stirring violin counterpoints. The music alternates between moments of calm and epic crescendos, reflecting the dual nature of friendship as a source of tranquility and a support in times of adversity. 

The piece invites listeners to experience the depth of companionship through its harmonious blend of electronic and classical elements, embodying the spirit of mutual care and unwavering support that defines true brotherhood

In view of all this, make every effort to respond to God’s promises. Supplement your faith with a generous provision of moral excellence, and moral excellence with knowledge, and knowledge with self-control, and self-control with patient endurance, and patient endurance with godliness, and godliness with brotherly affection, and brotherly affection with love for everyone. (2 Peter 1:5-7)

"Friendship" by Richard Dobeson is a neoclassical electronic composition that explores the essence of human bonds—lasting affection, trust, and intimacy. 

The piece blends classical orchestral elements with modern synthesizers and cinematic hybrid percussions, evoking a calm yet powerful atmosphere. 

The delicate electric piano in the introduction sets the tone, accompanied by sustained strings and a subtle beat. 

As the piece unfolds, a distant synth melody with a Wah effect takes center stage, supported by brass and a rhythmic synth bass line. 

The composition flows into a beautifully orchestrated chorus, where a singable synth melody intertwines with strings and brass, creating a dramatic and heroic texture. 

In the finale, the duet-like melody between powerful horns and synth layers adds a unique depth and emotional resonance, leaving the listener with a sense of unresolved tension and beauty—much like the complex nature of friendship itself.

✨ The Jungle 1987 ✨

Step back into the soundscape of 1987 with this newly remastered piece, originally recorded in one sitting on a Yamaha DX-7 synthesizer. 🎶 Captured on a 4-track Tascam Porta-Two cassette, 'The Jungle 1987' embraces the raw, analog feel, complete with the minor imperfections that make it all the more unique today.

Starting with a tropical marimba bassline in an ascending harmonic sequence, the track soon evolves with warm PADs supporting an uplifting synth string melody. In the middle, the roles shift, where synthetic textures and a delayed beat take center stage, while strings cushion a harmonized marimba melody.

The track comes full circle with a vibrant marimba bass return, now accompanied by a richly modulated synth lead, full of vibrato and movement.

Let the nostalgia wash over you as you dive into this sonic jungle. 🌿 #TheJungle1987 #YamahaDX7 #AnalogVibes #SynthwaveRetro #CassetteEra"

Quiet Evenings

There is a way to create peace in this world. Sometimes it feels as if there is not, that the cause is hopeless, but there is a way that we can achieve harmony on this planet.
We can choose to live our lives as demonstrations of our highest and grandest beliefs, rather than as denials of them.
I believe God is the First Step For Peace...

Meteor Showers

To the Elysian plain...
Where life is easiest for men. 
No snow is there, 
nor heavy storm, 
nor ever rain, 
but ever does Ocean send up blasts 
of the shrill-blowing West Wind 
that they may give cooling to men. 

Homer, Odyssey (4.560–565)

Elysium Bliss

Fusing together the purity of classical sounds and the sonic richness of electronic instruments, Spanish composer Richard Dobeson creates a universe that is expressive, imaginative and wonderfully relatable.

Born of Irish origin, Richard Dobeson lives in Madrid where his home studio is located. From here, he crafts compositions that explore the human connection to peace, love and unity. His eclectic soundscapes experiment with neo-classical, progressive, and art rock genres, but his signature presence is in the cinematic quality found in each piece.

The years of music education, knowledge and expertise have allowed Dobeson to express himself eloquently through music. His humble beginnings in music began as a teenager, possessing a natural talent for the guitar and his passion for performing. Much of his time was
spent studying and practising the instrument to develop a style that would become unique to Dobeson.

Guided by professionals, his thirst for musical knowledge only intensified. Continuing his studies in Classical and Jazz training, his next venture would be in the electric guitar with Jorge Cabadas and David Gwynn. Nano Riverola and Goya Award-winning Eva Gancedo would assist him in his Ear Training, Piano, Harmony, Composition, Arranging and Film Scoring studies.

His knowledge in piano and clarinet gave him access to new depths and dimensions within his pieces, combining classical instrumentation
with vivid electronic sounds.

Richard Dobeson’s music has accompanied cinematic visuals, writing for film and media. He was also the accompanying guitarist for singer Dani Martin, who would later form ‘Canto del Loco’. His own personal work has seen the releases of an array of EPs and singles, including ‘Elysium Bliss,’ ‘Deep Heart’ and ‘Wild Flower.’ February will welcome the release of his upcoming single
‘Largo,’ a euphoric composition that puts the world into perspective. ‘Largo’ will be released on the 17th February 2022.

The result of Richard Dobeson’s vibrant career and spirited connection with music is a colourful, artistic and dynamic world that brings awareness to the mind, body and soul.
