I Swear — originally written by Gary Baker and Frank J. Myers, first performed by John Michael Montgomery — reimagined here as a slow orchestral cover. 

This version honors the country ballad’s sincerity, preserving the vow‑like devotion without the rush of later R&B interpretations. 

A Composer’s Archive interpretation, shimmer‑tagged into place for open collaboration.

Made in Dorico — no DAW used.


I Swear

Say Something — originally written by Ian Axel, Chad King, and Mike Campbell, first performed by A Great Big World and later made famous in duet with Christina Aguilera. 

This version carries a personal history: during a difficult chapter in my life, the song seemed to echo constantly from the radio. I first arranged it as arpeggio guitar TAB, later transcribed it into piano in MuseScore, and finally rewrote it in Dorico into the orchestral piano version heard here.

 A Composer’s Archive interpretation, preserving both the echo of memory and the thunder of its fame.

This piece is close to me and carries personal history. Collaboration is possible, but the original form remains preserved.”

Made in Dorico — no DAW used.


Say Something

A Full Circle — an original orchestral ambient composition from the Composer’s Archive. 

A single violin melody repeats throughout, transformed by shifting octaves and harmonic colors. 
Beginning with harp and high piano shimmer notes, the piece grows into layered orchestration before returning to its fragile opening, completing the cycle. 

A meditation on return, closure, and transformation.

Made in Dorico — no DAW used.


Full circle

Glory of Love — originally written by Peter Cetera, David Foster, and Diane Nini, and performed by Peter Cetera — reimagined here as an orchestral cover.

Strings carry the devotion, turning a classic love ballad into a cinematic hymn. 

This is a Composer’s Archive interpretation, preserving the melody while leaving space for open collaboration and future voices.

Made in Dorico — no DAW used.

We're about to launch our 4th Archmage Band page here on SC, and we thought it'd be nice to post a demo which serves as an open collaboration for a track that we call "Where the Circuits Meet the Spell" as a nice little closing piece for this 3rd page. (The rest of the tracks uploaded here will be reuploads, that were deleted due to not having enough room, or older tracks).

Feel free to put your own spin on this, as long as you credit and link back to us. No commercial use, please.

“Jy’s die Lied — You are the Song — is written in Afrikaans with English translation support, opening the door for international vocalists. Emotional, cinematic, and intimate, it carries the devotion of a love ballad across languages.

 Vocalists are still needed to bring it to life, with lyric sheets and pronunciation guides available privately for collaborators.

Made in Dorico — no DAW used.



Jy's die lied (Your The song)

Sterre Verteller — The Astral’s Tongue — is a hymn to the night sky, sung across both Afrikaans and English. The stars speak in two tongues, waiting for voices to carry their stories. This arrangement is complete, but vocalists are still needed to bring it to life in both languages. 

Lyrics remain unpublished to protect the integrity of the work.

Made in Dorico — no DAW used.

Charagma is a late‑life composer who began with re‑arrangements and grew into original works, weaving rustic realism and humor into every track. His archive is a living cycle of runes—each song carrying its own backstory, whether comic relief (Billy Bob and His Truck), adaptation under pressure (How Soon Is Now), or ballads of absence (Not Home for Christmas).
Raised on rhythm guitar and shaped by family influences, Charagma’s music blends classical roots, folk storytelling, and experimental twists. Genres are never fixed—they’re playful, paradoxical, and often tagged with “…ish,” because only Charagma knows where the lines truly fall.
From contrabass spikes at 20Hz to choir adaptations and rustic ballads, his work is less about perfection and more about memory, humor, and ritual. Each track is a mark left behind—a charagma—echoing both the thunder of transformation and the quiet of echoes without thunder.
