Such a lovely composition... this flute makes everything more relaxing and wonderful.

Beautiful, lovely and smooth. I like easy going atmosphere.

Very calm and sweet. Has a good end of the day sound to it

Beautiful composition! It's so nice to hear something uplifting on a sunday evening!

Decision is a piece written especially for Piano Day 2023. Originally written for orchestra, I wanted to create a new version for Piano Solo.

Decision Piano Solo

My third entry into this project. With this one, I wanted to go more towards a calmer and consistent feel, tranquil but majestic. 
I think just sound and mixing-wise, this one is better than Frozen Meadows - the timing and tempo inconsistencies however drive me crazy in this one. 
I deliberately spent much less time in the tempo track, trying to fix all timing issues directly in the MIDI but obviously, that didn't turn out quite so well - a lesson I have hopefully learned by now...

The next piece is hopefully going to be my most consistent of all the music I have created thus far. Don't quite know what it's gonna be, but I wanna stray a bit from my formula and make something unlike the last two.
And maybe I'll get lucky and can say that in the end, it is as Elder Scrolls-y as ever, more timing consistent than all my other works before and has a mix that is something I won't be able to distinguish from a professional piece of music.

Kinda skeptical on that last one, but I'm gonna try my damn hardest anyway :P
But first, I want to turn my attention towards this new horror-apocalypse project I started and the new journey into TSFH-ish epic music. Fingers crossed...

Until then,

Cheerio,
Cedric

Nocturne

The orchestral arrangement "Trudge" tells of an arduous path that we don't want to take but have to. A long march that lies before us, and which we conquer in order to finally feel the light on the horizon again.

PROGRAM NOTE
Many composers associate orchestral instruments with animals to great effect, such as Prokofiev with Peter and the Wolf, Rimsky-Korsakov with Flight of the Bumblebee, Saint-Saëns with Carnival of the Animals, and perhaps most obsessively, Messiaen with birds from all over the world. In Soar, I associate the trumpet with an eagle, a bird that can fly as high as ten thousand feet and as fast as two hundred miles per hour. Like an eagle soaring above mountains, Soar requires the trumpet player to play fast and high, and both the trumpet and piano parts are, at times, quite virtuosic. In this sense, Soar is really meant as a show-off piece for expert trumpet players. Soar was commissioned by and is dedicated to Lexie Signor.

Soar for Trumpet and Piano

I think I have seldom been so optimistic about something I created, so free of doubt and worry - which is coincidentally a feeling I want to convey with this new piece and project / album.

I dearly love the OST for "The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford" by Nick Cave & Warren Ellis and always wanted to do something in a similar fashion, but up until now lacked the means to do it. The means being a library (I'm not big on collaborations of such an interconnected nature and am quite the control freak, so outsourcing performances isn't yet my forte) that could portray solo strings in this very specifically rustic and imperfect, soft and brittle form that is so iconic to Warren Ellis' style of playing.

Well, along come Orchestral Tools and break my mind with the unbelievably authentic and brilliant "Peteris Vasks' Strings", forcing me to make this!
I gotta say, I've never been more happy about any kind of enslavement.

But jokes aside, this really is one of the best purchases I have ever made, and one of the best pieces of music I have ever made - maybe not because of some brilliant melodical structure or a perfect arrangement (which this obviously doesn't have :P), but because of this unbelievably authentic and iconic sound, and the atmosphere it creates.

I did have to do quite a bit of EQ adjustments and automation to iron out some of the more resonant moments (didn't quite achieve a perfect balance, but I'm gonna get better the more I use it), plus making my own mic-mix cause the library was recorded in a bloody huge church - but the close mics are, despite this, bone dry and together with some of the other options able to have this up-close, intimate feeling that I wouldn't have thought possible.
One or two samples are a little borked sometimes, but with a bit of imagination one can circumvent these small errors.
All in all, this product is nigh perfect - for me, obviously :)

But enough about this - what Revalescence is about, is a journey. As always. I need to wander, both in reality as in my fantasy so this kind of theme will never go away, most likely :P
Anyhow, the term describes the process or rather state of getting better, healing. And since that is such a loose concept, you could apply it to really anything : a struggle with mental health, a physical injury or other avenues of trouble that open themselves up to you. 
This time, I will not describe an actual story, but rather a more metaphoric path to betterment, whatever that might entail for you specifically.
I love placing things into the setting of an Arizona desert, cause it's just so relentlessly beautiful to me, but feel free to wander off to anywhere you would like to go with it. Sometimes, I'll be more setting-specific, other times it'll be more ambiguous - whatever I feel like at any given moment.
You can expect ups and downs, but at the end I will try to weave it all together into a calming, reassuring and hopeful outlook and reflection on things past, present and future.

All of this sounds terribly pretentious and usually I would refrain from writing bloated nonsense like that - but I think this time, I'll try being more conscious about creating music, with a broad, human theme in mind that one can read into if one chooses to. Don't know whether or not it's gonna work out, but what the hell - I'll try anyway :D

If you did, thank you very much for reading through all of this and I hope you'll find a connection to Revalescence, as have I.

Cheerio,
Cedric

Leaving Home

Revalescence - Leaving Home

And you have arrived at the end of the day. You accomplished a lot of things during your day and now you feel relaxed in bed with a happy face, staring at the ceiling and planning what to do tomorrow. Life is good and the sense of satisfaction for a very productive day is a great sensation that make you feel the pillow even softer than  it is. Close your eyes, you did good today.
