Demo of a new song for my daughter who holds a special place in my heart...a song for her to cherish forever...

Emma Lee

The great success of my "Valses melancoliques" (including the award-winning No. VIII - le desir eternel) encouraged me to continue this musical idea of melancholic valses, resulting in 12 new valses from C minor to B minor, created in a 14 day "composing rush" in April 2013 :-)

Pianist Carlos Marquéz (https://soundcloud.com/cmdigital), whom many of you know for his outstanding piano recordings, was so kind to play some of the "Swans". 
Enjoy his breathtaking performance of this piece!

Carlos played all 10 Valses melancoliques Series I, which you can find on iTunes and many other platforms. Truly can recommend this!
https://itunes.apple.com/us/album/beneking-10-valses-melancoliques/id600563482

All 12 "Swans" will also be published as an album towards the end of 2013, performed by pianist Danaë Vlasse (https://soundcloud.com/danae-vlasse).
Here is a "Preview" of the first 6 valses:

Valses melancoliques I

Valses Melancoliques II - "The Swans" - No. 3 played by Carlos Márquez www.beneking.com

I think there are different types of music, and music making....  there is the construction part,  there is manufacturing of music (not good in my opinion), then there is the intimate music,,, what I would call a gateway or window to a persons soul.  Often singers touch us with this,,, instumentalists, composers etc...   do this,,,  they pour their soul into the music,,,   I also think many electronic musicians do this,,,  however what we hear usually on the radio is manufacturing,,, "made in China" sort of thing.  Usually the singer does nothing except sing the song,,, the song itself is made in "visual basic",,, parts taken from here and there.   Thank God we still have indy scene,,, that´s where people really manage to do things wonderfully still,,,   and that´s the best thing about soundcloud in my opinion.

Well, back to the point,,,,  I get inspired by many things,,, very often by light and nature.  When I was coming home on my bike from work I had a sacred moment by the sea,,,   total calm and the birds where enjoying this wonderful day we got....   the picture is from that place...    So I had to do some music and this is what came out,,,  and it certainly feels like a gateway to my soul....     And now outside we have the northern lights :)

October Fade

Slow Piano music with a cinematic, peaceful and positive feel. Due to its calm, soothing, tranquil, but also inspiring character, this relaxing background music instrumental, combined with beautiful views of Switzerland's mountains around Engelberg, can be a perfect fit for your relaxation, spa, mood music, study music, yoga, or even meditation music playlist.

How you use the music, is up to you. It's broadly known, that nature can have profound positive effects on us humans. At least I myself feel that way, when I am at a beautiful place like in the mountains, or at beautiful coastlines. This is why I decided to capture a nature scene like this and combine it with my music. Technically, I created this whole piece, like you see it, within 7 days, starting with climbing the mountain and shooting footage of the landscape, then getting inspired for a tune, then creating, recording and mixing the music, while editing the short movie.

I hope I could communicate some of the excitement, but then also some of the deep relaxation, which I feel when I am in the mountains. As always, let me know how you feel about the music and the video. How do you use my music? Do you enjoy this video format, or do you prefer my music with just a still image? I'm happy about feedback of any kind.
Enjoy,
Michael (relaxdaily)

Stronger Every Day by Sean Harrison

1 Corinthians 13:13 And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love. It's awesome to know that no matter what we go through, Faith, Hope and Love remains!!

Hope Remains- A Demo for a future project!

saturday morning music, so much to think about and do,,,  but instead I do this :)

it´s an imrov of sorts in passacaglia style, although just a touch of it,  same chords for six minutes,,, and isn´t our lifes usually the same much of the time. Blessed are the people that manage to live and revitalize all the time.

Birth to death - a waltz about life (19. jan 2013) (downloadable)(found)

Was playing around with Studio 1 from Presonus tonight,,, and this is the result...  hope you like it.  I´m starting to think I could do nothing except write music all day long, only problem is that it does not pay any bills :)....   

I tried analog delay from S1 on my piano sound and let that run the tempo,  played around with the echo effect,  and sometimes let the echo lead me on.  Then I did the string part, which took awhile since S1 has worse midi workings that Logic, and for classical nerds like myself it has no sheet music option.  Seeing the notes helps me when scoring piano improvs, I can see the harmony and read the lines.

So mixing and everything is done in Studio one (old version),  still waiting for Cubase 7 upgrade,,,,  moving away from logic, it´s not keeping up with times.  Apple seems to have given us musicians the finger.... 

Life´s little echoes

Had a lot of emotions of late,,, good ones mostly,,,   still revamping my mind,, trying to find my zen, still far away but some progress.  My heads not too clear, full of ideas but time is quite full of work, odd jobs and stuff I need to do.  Need to find a mountain somewhere and climb it, maybe just stay up there.

This piece here is not letting me alone,, it swims around in my head,,,,   this is the version I´m going to work with,, still 70% improvised, but I probably will write it up on sheet and record it.   The first part is conflicting F- major with f-minor in the melody,,, the second part changes hands,, so the f- minor becomes the harmony under.... then it goes into major of sorts in the end,, so ends in harmony without dissonance....

We all seek harmony and a world without fractures,,, but it´s hard to find,,,  and to be honest,,  music would be so boring without dissonance,,, most of the pop music is today without any dissonance,,,  hence it dumbs the mind,,, quite mindblowing stuff.....    I know the conflict A Ab is going to disturb some of you,,, sorry about that :)

Warm Launderette (Rockness Mix)

At a pivotal moment in the drama, The Muse makes herself known to the protagonist whose sculpted art begins to multiply into abstract forms, drifting and scattering in his ragged space, filling his vision with reflective fragments of his dreams.

The Muse

Last day, tomorrow I go home, but it was a really nice day. Been living in the past, finding my childhoods favorite places, and spending some time with my 92 years old grandmother. Went with her to my grandfathers grave and then I came back to the farm. Been sunny but windy, really nice, and I´m starting to feel at home. I really should just stay here :).

When I came inside I decided to check on my inspiration and this song came out, fully functional and I think the best one in the series, maybe one of my best songs, when I listen to it I think, yes, this is the song I was supposed to write here.

The picture now is of the house where I´m staying,,,   such a lovely place and I find that I have a really easy time staying alone, way too easy....   should just find a mountain somewhere.....

Maybe this is the last song of this session,  if so I thank you for following,,, for me this has been really nice.  I´ll see if the midnight sun gives me one more song.

Tjörnes session - 5. Memories

I like to work in sets, sorry for that,,,  when I have time and energy to write songs they do come out pretty fast.  This one is a response to the one I did this morning, I like this one much more....

Good night my friends ..... sleep tight,, (here in Iceland it´s about 23:30 and full light outside)

Good night my friend, the midnight sun sends it´s greetings
