Description: This is one from the vault. This has only ever been on my Bandcamp page so decided to throw it up on The Cloud. Remixed and remastered 28th April 2013.

Love the dark to offset the hope!  Quite menacing of you.

@myhatandmygandhi: It's the cocteau guitar patch in Reason...........

Deep slowly evolving work, some neat unexpected key changes in the mid section.  I like that the drums have a feel and sound somewhere between live and electronic.

Don't ever stop making magical music. I love all this!

A Light in the Storm

I woke early, before the birds, a couple of weekends ago, couldn't get back to sleep so I got up, made a cup of coffee and wandered through to my studio, put on my headphones and fired up Reason. I was playing around with the basis of this tune when James came in and asked to hear what I was doing. As he was listening he made the comment "Sounds like it has stars in it" which I thought was wonderful. So later that day I got him to say it again into the mic. His brother Alex added the "Wow" and "Look at all the stars". They both laughed and giggled as they were doing this, so I kept that stuff too. Their cousin Lil chimes in towards the end too. So a bit of a family affair this one and a little bit of fun from Soft E Studios.

I Dream Of Shadows

Le Tonnerre

With nowhere else to go but forward, I ventured deep into the blue forest.  There were spirits living here, but they seemed to be okay with my presence.  One of them helped guide me through the maze of trees, over rivers and through natural tunnels buried beneath the earth.  It never spoke to me, but It seemed to want to show me something, so I followed.  The light began to fade away.  Nightfall was coming.  I had to find a safe place to sleep.

Spirits of the Forest

The spirit brought me to an empty clearing in the forest with nothing around but a rough wooden sign that read “Welcome to Lamplight Village: Home for all Mages ”.  This was rather odd since there was nothing here but an empty field.  I went ahead and continued forward, and just as I passed the sign post a village illuminated with thousands of lamps began to materialize before me.  There was a river running through the town with multiple cobblestone bridges crossing over it.  People wearing dark cloaks were walking about, entering shops and restaurants, and keeping themselves very busy.  I was stunned by all of this.  I spotted two weary travelers entering an Inn across the bridge that was closest to me, and I recognized them.  I remembered seeing them from a distance back at the Mesa Settlement which seemed like ages ago.  I was curious what their story was, and I needed to rest anyway, so I headed on into the inn.

Lamplight Village

I created this little ditty back in the early 1980's back when our son was born.

A Light In The Storm

At one point in your life your guardian angel wil come to you and whisper: 
I am Your Guardian Angel
I am a Part of You
I am here to Guide You,
Love You and Protect You
You Don't Need to Hide Your Feelings 
from Me, for
They are my Feelings Too.

The Hope Lantern

I like hiking in the mountains with my wife. And I like listening to music.

Soft Enerji is Mark Blane. Originally from Scotland, now a born again Australian.

I like to make music in my spare time although spare time can be hard to come by.

I compose in Cubase 14, Ableton Live 12 and Reason 13. Among many plugins I also use Native Instuments Komplete 15 Ultimate Collectors Edition.

I have a Komplete Kontrol S61 Mk2 keyboard and a Maschine Mk3. My Bass guitars are a Warwick Corvette Fretless, a Schecter Diamond Series and a Cort Semi-Acoustic.

Please listen, comment if you like, fave if you feel anything deserves, and please follow me if you care enough.
