Crystal Skies - Finally Home ft. Satellite Empire

For a song called “Sadness”, it got a little funny along the way.  I heard this song over at Gemma Cao page @psychological_music and was inspired to do an alternate mix of it.  So I did a quick mix, which mostly just added a beat and emphasized the bass, and then I sent it over to her for a listen and her thoughts.  She thought it sounded good and said to go ahead and post on my page.  I was thinking I was hitting upon something unique.  So I took that and expanded it and added a piano intro and interlude and tried to improve what I originally did.  But then I looked back at her original post https://soundcloud.com/elizabeth-cao-864001417/the-2-min-track-i-gave-to-brian-progeny-1 and this time I READ THE TITLE.  Hmmm.  I think I better go over to Brian’s @progeny-1-617773258 page and see what’s there.  And sure enough there is an alternate mix there too.  Doh!  Yes, but Brian’s version is fantastic.  Give it a listen https://soundcloud.com/progeny-1-617773258/sadness-gemma-n-progeny-1  Brian’s is much more developed and interesting than my mix, which is a little more laid back and traditional.  (Whatever that is?)  Oh well, I must learn to read things more thoroughly

Linkin park - Burn it down

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.

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!

In this song I talk about just doin' a little at a time.   It's still better than doing nothing.  Hope you enjoy the music !!

Oblivion Inevitable

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!

Lyrics:
Strange, I've seen that face before
Seen him hanging 'round my door
Like a hawk stealing for the prey
Like the night waiting for the day
Strange, he shadows me back home
Footsteps echo on the stones
Rainy nights, on Haussmann Boulevard
Parisian music drifting from the bars
Tu cherches quoi, rencontrer la mort?
Tu te prends pour qui?
Toi aussi tu détestes la vie
Dance in bars and restaurants
Home with anyone who wants
Strange he's standing there alone
Staring eyes chill me to the bone
Dans sa chambre, Joel et sa valise
Un regard sur ses fringues
Sur les murs, des photos
Sans regret, sans mélo
La porte est claquée, Joel est barré

I've Seen That Face Before feat. Vocalatti

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

A composition initially influenced by a John Bonham groove that evolved into a G minor vamp with weaving melodies, based on a double harmonic scale, played by an English Horn and Bansuri.

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:
