Still it lasted a year. I really appreciate you.
"WEEK 4" will be over this time.I would be happy if it helped even a little in your Soundcloud life.
I will consider new ways of communication with everyone.
:)))

In order to improve the SoundCloud life better, I think that it is important for each person to discover, expand and expand partners, so that they can Repost each other.
The artists and the work I introduced here are only a small part of those I respect and favorite. In order to make it a playlist easy for everyone to listen to, I could not introduce many wonderful works here, thinking about connecting songs, balancing the whole, and not making too much increase.
For example, in my case, it was Massimo Primiero who taught me to do a set of "Comment", "Like" and "Repost" in sets. He gave me a chance to strengthen my interest in the sound cloud. In SoundCloud, beginners are more likely to fall into a narrow perspective, but one day, Mrs Rhymes was storming in 'Reposts', which first took me to wide horizon. I am sincerely grateful to them. I would like you to make use of this playlist in order to broaden the wonderful encounter and exchanges at the SoundCloud.

Mrs Rhymes @mrsrhymes

This playlist is established by your support and cooperation. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. I think that it is easy to understand by thinking that it is not a ranking but a program of a concert. While listening to new works by artists who have exchange, one flow is made. It is not just an enumeration but an image of an actual concert and devised it so that there is no sense of incongruity and put it in a list.

This playlist began with a purpose to thank those who support me.
After that, the network has spread rapidly. When I chose the method of choice I decided for the first time, the songs increased much.There is a limit of 500 works that can be included in one playlist.

The picture shows the LEM (Lunar Excursion Module) returning to the Apollo 11 Command Module after the first Lunar landing at the Sea of Tranquility.  Buzz Aldrin and Neil Armstrong are in the LEM, Michael Collins was behind the camera in the Command Module, and the rest of humanity was on the “Blue Marble” rising above the Moon.

Vertical Oceans Of Incoherence (feat. Gabriel Bustamante)

Mrs Rhymes - Predator Catchers (produced by Anno Domini Beats).

A little something I did for the good people over at Predator Catchers N.I for all the hard work they do keeping our kids safe. 
https://www.facebook.com/teampcni/?ref=br_tf  

Lyrics 
Hook:
Predators....
You better beware 
Predators...
You better be scared 
Predators....
yeah we coming for you
Predators....
You already know what we do...

Verse:
Rock up to ya house with the proof in my hand
Expose you to the world with my video cam
no where to run, like a mouse in a trap
Grooming our  kids, now we’re gonna fight back
Think that your safe, but we know were you stay
On the internet  talking to our decoy for days
got all your information and the pics that you sent
To underage minors who can’t give no consent….
What happens in the dark, always come out to light,
When Facebook live, nonce catchers, knock your door in the night
Predator catchers, yeah,  you know what we do
And if  your talking to our  kids, then we’re coming for you.

Predator Catchers

Shmoozy x Waking Sleep - Not Enough

Music composed and performed by Rachel Nusbaumer
Piano part composed and performed by Antonio La Scalia (https://soundcloud.com/antoniolascalia)

Listen to the original version : https://soundcloud.com/rachel-nusbaumer/equilibrium

Equilibrium (piano by Antonio La Scalia)

This was originally released in April 2011 on the Boom Babies page http://soundcloud.com/boom-babies   This started as a short orchestral style loop that Trevor http://soundcloud.com/trigtrigger sent me and is now the first new Boom Babies track in about 20 years. Maybe we'll get around to doing another someday :)

Boom Babies were/are Trevor White http://soundcloud.com/trigtrigger and Mark Blane

I've tweaked the mix and remastered it today 1st July 2012. 

Another Bad Day - Boom Babies International - (trigtrigger & Soft Enerji)

I found the image used for this track while searching the net for something completely unrelated. As soon as I saw this picture I was stunned. I found the image desolate, cold, yet somehow quite beautiful. I was immediately inspired to write this music. I imagined a cold wind, metallic undertones and a Siren song to draw me...and hopefully you...in. 

The image is by photographer Simon Roberts http://simoncroberts.com and can be found in his Motherland collection here: http://motherlandbook.com/. The derelict ships are somewhere on the Kola Peninsula in north western Russia. Simon toured Russia over a year and took some amazing shots. Well worth a look!

The Cold Ships

This is the first new track since our tree-change move to the country. I thought I would have more time on my hands but it didn't work out that way.............all is good though and the little dudes have started school now :)
I've used a couple of signature Soft Enerji instruments (the horn and the piano.....just couldn't help myself) as well as some new sounds and fx from Reason's Rack Extensions. The next thing on my shopping list is a new mic as I really struggled to get the vox sounding right, I'm still not happy with it but it will have to do for now. Also note that there is something going on with SC's compression on the intro. I've noticed this before on other tracks and there is nothing I can do about it. Hope you enjoy!

Residual Warmth

I was inspired by Liisa Pentti’s recording of “Black Is the Color” to do a remix of her interpretation of a traditional folk song.  I was so impressed with her performance and her beautiful voice, so I roughed out an initial version and sent it over to her.  She offered me her original recorded tracks, which enabled me to produce this posted version.  I am very thankful to Liisa for allowing me to do the remix and post it for your enjoyment.  Please visit her SoundCloud site @liisapentti and listen and comment on all of her amazing songs.

The Hope Lantern

Prelude for Solo Piano (Original)

I was in the mood to write something heavy and came up with a song inspired by the dread of a diminished 7th chord.  However, there is a counter point to pull it up out of the gloom and impart some beauty.

Singularity

B L U N T • F O R C E • S E R E N I T Y

"I don't always make music.  But when I do, I prefer dynamics.  Stay below -6dB, my friends."

Composition explorations in musical textures, stories and grooves.

I am an amateur composer, producer and musician who has been inspired and influenced by music my entire life.  Beyond my interests in developing harmony and rhythm ideas, a song’s timbres and textures have always held a deeper emotional grip on me.  This passion for tone has dominated my compositions and productions, which are combined with playful melodies and progressions that are immersed in sophisticated soulful beats.

B L U N T • F O R C E • S E R E N I T Y is led by Robin Benjamins and features collaborations with composers and musicians from down the road, and from around the world.  These artists are:
