Beacons help guide navigators to their destinations. Types of navigational beacons include radar reflectors, radio beacons, sonic and visual signals. Visual beacons range from small, single-pile structures to large lighthouses or light stations and can be located on land or on water.

The light keeps shining
in the dark,
and darkness has never
put it out.

Anchored by a steady bass pedal and minimalistic motifs on synth, saxophone, and piano, the piece gradually opens like a hidden passage.

The Secret Door

"Moon Lake" is a neo-classical orchestral composition by Spanish-Irish composer Richard Dobeson, blending acoustic and electronic textures in a serene, emotionally rich soundscape. Written for harp, strings, woodwinds, French horns, and cinematic percussion, the piece unfolds slowly, evoking the shimmering light of a full moon on a quiet mountain lake.

A constant harp arpeggio supports a flowing melody that passes gracefully between clarinet, oboe, and flute, sometimes combining in octaves to heighten its purity. Subtle electronic percussion adds mystery, like a whispered promise waiting to be fulfilled.

The music grows gently, with pizzicato basses, timpani, and taikos lending gravity without drama. Moon Lake carries no tension—only the peaceful beauty of nature and the calm of a heart that rests in eternal promises.

Inspired by Psalm 89:37, this is not just music for listening, but a moment of stillness to remember what endures:

"It shall be established for ever as the moon, and as a faithful witness in the heaven." (Psalm 89:37)

Vocalise by Sergei Rachmaninoff has always held a special place in my heart — a piece that transcends words to become pure emotion.
In this reinterpretation, I’ve sought to honor its melancholic beauty while exploring a contemporary cinematic dimension.

Ethereal solo voices, created from layered choral libraries and subtle electronic textures, weave through a soundscape of strings, brass, and synth pads.
The piano marks a steady pulse, guiding the listener through waves of orchestral and electronic percussion that rise and fade like distant memories.

This Vocalise is not only a tribute to Rachmaninoff’s genius but also a reflection of my lifelong fascination with his music — an emotional journey between nostalgia and majesty, where sound becomes light and silence speaks.

Tech notes:
Vocalise, Op. 34, No. 14, is a song by Sergei Rachmaninoff, composed and published in 1915 as the last of his "Fourteen Songs", Op. 34.[1] 

Written for high voice (soprano or tenor) with piano accompaniment, it contains no words, but is sung using any one vowel (of the singer's choosing). 

For this version I'm using Heavyocity Vocalise and Native Instruments Choir Libraries and VSL Instruments
