Really interesting rhythms! Love the atmosphere it creates!

Sounds like spider webs and creepy crawlers... you kind of don't want to think too hard about it..lol eek good job

woodwinds sound amazing! is it a real woodwinds player or just good sampled VST?

It's always a pleasure to hear your works, but this perhaps more, for its "innovative and complex" character. Contrasting textures, profuse rhythms and rich percussion. Singular timbres and articulations, . . .

Wonderfully playful dark composition piece, I particularly love the creepy piano and walking bass towards the close of it.

This is great; exotically sinister initially but it does get quite jolly towards the end. I'd like to think you have reached some sort of rapprochement with your demons!

Wow, these demons move really fast for being inside a closet! Loved the percussion and brass stabs.

Wonderful composition! Splendid orchestration. Bravo

Powerfully haunting composition with million colours. :)

Lyrics 
Part I:

Once, on a cold november day             - Thoughts only circling 'round this gray
Sittin' lonely on the railroad track     - 'til i met a lady with a paper bag

With a brand of a long forgotten store   - that i could only hardly remember
a store with lots small beautiful things - of arts and design
with some old records, movies and books  - you can’t buy anymore
told, how she loved browsing and shopping 'round there 
She kept that bag for all those years 
then she reached for the bag and smiles  - i'm sure I look like a fool

She said: "it's a ... download code for a memory from your soul"

which you can ...
...recall a memory from inside    - retrive old pictures from your life
some of them are very colourful   - others appear in black and white
It could be long forgotten impressions from your past
or the melody that once healed your broken heart
or the infinitive love - that you felt when you lie in your mothers arms

They were never really lost
Stored deep inside your mind
Waiting for a sign
When your senses will be crossed, assambled and combined

Hold on your treasures         - Always take care of them 
                                                 (never let them go) 
Keep all the precious thoughts - that are really important in your life
                                                 (let your feelings flow)
Lay down your worries          - Remember all, the good times of your life 
                                                 (listen to your soul)
Hold on                        - To your self

Part II

When i look into your eyes                           - I wish i could read whats in your mind
Imagine a flower that arise after the rain           - from a long sown seed that germinates again

The taste of a wild cherry, picked for yourself      - offside the road on your way
Reminds how much youu loved hanging upside down      - from your favorite tree.
So sweet as a kiss from an old love                  - under the stars on your tree.
where you wished together something                  - to a shooting star
But it never came true, but the stars you wished for - are already still there
if youu discover this one star again                 - your old love takes control

Shines like a ... download code for a memory from your soul"


...recall a memory from inside    - retrive old pictures from your life
some of them are very colourful   - others appear in black and white
It could be long forgotten impressions from your past
or the melody that once healed your broken heart
or the infinitive love - that you felt when you lie in your mothers arms

They were never really lost
Stored deep inside your mind
Waiting for a sign
When your senses will be crossed, assambled and combined

Hold on your treasures         - Always take care of them 
                                                 (never let them go) 
Keep all the precious thoughts - that are really important in your life
                                                 (let your feelings flow)

                                                 (listen to your soul)
Ba da da da                    - Ba da da da
                                                 (Ba da da da) 
Ba da da da                    - Ba da da da
                                                 (da da da da daa) 
Hold on                        - Hold on
To your self

some colours can never be seen
some shades of blue and green
can't unsee what i've seen
can't undo what has been

but it's a long time living and working
loving in monochrome
part of me says look closer now
at the periphery
any old town is good enough
for me to call home
doesn't matter where you lay your head
if in dreams you roam

some words should never be said
some shades of yellow and red
can't get back what has fled
can't flee from what you dread

there are ways, means, things you can do
if you ever wanna get anywhere
better be sure it's where you want
cos you could be forever stranded there
some of these men will lie 
some of these women ain't what they claim to be
try to keep yourself free
try to keep yourself free

in dreams we roam
in dreams we roam

but it's a long time living and working
loving in monochrome
part of me says look closer now
at the periphery
any old town is good enough
for me to call home
try to keep yourself free
try to keep yourself free
try to keep yourself free
try to keep yourself free

PROGRAM NOTES
As a child, I remember being very afraid of my closet at night. I was sure that scary things were hiding in the back corner and that my closet was really a nighttime portal to a world of demons and monsters. A bracing, horrible dream I had one night as an adult reminded me of these childhood fears and hastened my writing this piece.

What kinds of sounds do demons and monsters make? What would they sound like crammed together in a gargantuan, pitch black, closet at night? I envisioned screaming, chaos, and violent infighting between the creatures. Sometimes these hellish monsters fight amongst themselves, as I would imagine they would do in a sort of morbid, eternal "monster hell," but once in a blue moon they burst out of the closet and start flying around the bedroom in a chaotic free-for-all, cackling and laughing and spitting and drooling, banging into walls and furniture like a bunch of loose, demonic bats.

Technically, this work is a vehicle for exploring a variety of exotic sound possibilities within a large chamber group. I imagine monsters of different shapes and sizes, similar to characters you might find in the paintings of Hieronymus Bosch (the right wings of The Hay Wain and the Garden of Delights triptychs would be good examples), but much more abstract, cubist and multi-shaped, such as the images found in the cubist works by Pablo Picasso (i.e. the Daniel-Henry Kahnweiler painting or the Head of a Woman sculpture). If you took Picasso’s cubist people and "morphed" them with Bosch’s un-earthly creatures, or filtered Bosch’s creatures through a cubist filter and airbrushed the final images with hell, then that would be my goal.

Other images in particular provided inspiration, such as the famous painting The Nightmare by the Swiss-English artist Henry Fuseli. In this work, an ugly demon is seated on the dreamer’s chest and a frightening white horse with glowing eyes is in the background. My work is further inspired by the diverse collage works—digital or not—being created by contemporary visual artists.
