unglaubliche Tiefe und Atmosphäre, einfach eintauchen und genießen !!!

i am loving the ethereal reverbed synths in this .. the track has a great flow to it and the introduction of the guitar fits in perfectly ... the depth of the track is awesome and i can easily get lost in this ... brilliant work

This is sounds great! It has kinda an ethereal feeling.

Cross the Brocéliande forest before sunset!! keep your faithful steed in step, and above all... do not let yourself be attracted by the voices of the knights of the round table, of the fairies Morgane and Viviane... but the spirit of Merlin the enchanter will watch over you, keep the path in mind and wait for the chime to ring, you will have defeated the spells.......

BROCELIANDE FOREST  (Ode to Brittany)

a softer track to repair your hearing damage by listening to my metallurgical track!

C'est Un Trou De Verdure Où Coule Une Rivière (It's a green hole where a river flows)

the captain, mad captain
he told the men his plans
and then they went out stealing things
so they could rule these lands

they stole four antique cannons from the castle
hijacked a truckload of metal from the factory
they stole a jet engine from the old air force base
the mad captain nodded satisfactorily

they welded the metal into a battering ram
and the big jet engine was for extra speed
cannons armed in every direction
the mad captain had returned to the sea (x2)

they were a terror in the open waters
they’d sink any ship that they saw
and with their jet engine, they were able to avoid apprehension
and stay a step ahead of the law

vengeance in the form of a storm
came rolling across the sea
the mad captain pulled his eyes from the sky
he’d seen more than he wanted to see
"all hands below deck", the captain roared
"tie yourself down so you don’t go overboard"

Happy PIano Day!  (the 88th day of the year 03/28/2024)

This is a piano instrumental version of Ren and Chinchilla's "How to Be Me".  The original song is here: https://soundcloud.com/renmakesmusic/how-to-be-me-feat-chinchilla

The original has sparse instrumentation (simple strummed guitar chords and minimalist cello), but the added complexity of Ren and Chinchilla's codominant vocals make for a rich harmonic tapestry and a stimulating challenge to arrange a piano instrumental version.  For instance, one aspect of the song that I love is the use of the harmonic minor in a way that spans both a haunting classical (almost Chopinesque) sound as well as a soulful Jazz sound.  The raison d'etre of the harmonic minor is the V - i resolution. In early takes I settled on extending some of the V - i resolutions using a dom7flat9, which seemed to enhance the haunting classical feel and simultaneously felt in line with Ren's love of diminished chords (e.g., the diminished arpeggio in the Intro of "Hi Ren" which is arguably in fact a dom7flat9).  But then when listening back I noticed that in some places this chord extension did not mesh with the vocal harmonies and a dom7sharp9 a.k.a. the "Jimi Hendrix chord" sounded better).  This is just one example of the intricacies of jamming along with Ren's music.

Part of my motivation for posting this piano arrangement was the idea that Ren's music has enough complexity to stand on its own as instrumental music.  I was delighted when, later that day, Ren posted his first piano instrumental on youtube, a beautiful piece of modern classical music https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCqq3VcwPGseErHUa0-xLInQ

Life has taught me that all I know is that I know nothing!

So I'm bound to cite the late Holger Czukay (CAN), 
"We completely refuse to make a judgement about what is beautiful and what isn't. We make something, that's all, and the scope of possible sounds is immense.  We're not musicians, we're universal dilettantes" (1972)

In 2007 a friend induced my German choice of name SEELENSACK (Sac de l'âme - Soul's Sack). 

Im Jahr 2007 regte eine gute Freundin mich zur Wahl des Pseudonyms  "Seelensack" an.

I am a Facebook - Twitter - Instagram - refusenik ... so I will not support anybody on these media platforms, sorry!
