UMN (March of the Penguins) is Arthur King's improvised composition and performance inspired by Luc Jacquet’s “March of the Penguins,” recorded live at AKP Recordings on November 9, 2022. The musical ensemble that evening was David Ralicke (horns, electronics), Koool G Murder (double bass), Laura Escudé (violin), Mia Doi Todd (drums/vocals), and Peter Walker (guitar/electronics). The film selector for the event was Sam Johnson, and the resulting performance was mixed to immersive digital formats and quadraphonic cassette by Peter Walker and KamranV.

UMN (Unknown Movie Night) is a recurring series of live, improvised film-scoring events where the selected film is unknown to both audience and band until it begins. Discerning film selectors and a rotating cast of guest musicians join Arthur King in making each event unique, taking participants on a journey into the unknown.

Lion Goat Podcast Episode 38: Kayaking the Harpeth or Top 5 Ways to Stay Motivated

NICS:

New Instant Composers Syndicate is about honest music composed on the fly and depending on the mood of the band, as a collective, as well as the individuals are in

It means no one knows what they are going to get

The best base for improvisation

But above all it has to do with everone’s ability to listen well to eachother and to themselves. And place none above the other

It’s all about, and only about, the music

Generated by five open minds


Until January 2019 New Instant Composers Syndicate (formerly known as The Midi Syndicate) consisted of :

John Berrevoets : Midi drums, Midi vibes, percussion, any musical instrument desired
Edwin Bouman : bass guitar, Midi modules, any musical instrument desired
Rene Kos : EWI electrical wind instrument, WX windcontroller, synthesizers, any musical instrument desired
Robbert Becker : Fender Rhodes, Hammond B3, keyboards, Midi modules, any musical instrument desired
Fred Tabois (aka Fredheadset) : sound engineer, samples, plunderphonics, sound treatments, electronics, any sound desired

Each "rehearsal session" consists of a get-together of the members, without any musical plans whatsoever, 1 minute of silence and then, either, Heaven or Hell breaks loose for a minimum of 50 minutes

All improvised, on the spot

Clearly enough no rehearsal session is the same, ever

All rehearsals are recorded professionally



Due to the passing of Fred Tabois end of 2019, NICS stopped it’s journey, since he was the key player into make this all happen.

John Chantler is a musician and organiser living in Stockholm, Sweden. In 2019 he started building a system for performance consisting of multiple battery powered synthesizer/speaker things that can be variably suspended, swung, spun and set in locations without depending on the typical concert/club infrastructure and classical modes of performer/audience interaction. Chantler is currently an artist of the SHAPE+ platform for innovative music and audiovisual art, co-funded by the EU.

 John Chantler shares some of his own recent work alongside a wide-ranging scan of Edition Festival festival archives with short excerpts from longer performances from each annual edition.

Track Album: River / رود

Record date: 2011 / Paris

با مقدمه از استاد حمید متبسم:
      «آهنگ نسل جوان موسیقی ما آهنگی دیگر است، سرود عصیان است و بی پروایی ، زخمه ای ست به تار تنیده بر تاریخ ما و آواز جمعی مردمانی ست که در جست و جوی هنجار کهن خویش اند».
حمید متبسم  . پاییز ۹۱

سخنی با شما: 
در این اثر، آنچه از دستم برآمده، نزدیک‌ترین و خاص‌ترین تصویر از فقدان و از دست دادن عزیزترینی است که به شکل صوتی جان گرفته. لحظه‌ای که زندگی ناگهان در درخششی از ثانیه‌ها، پرده‌ای دیگر از بعد زمان را به نمایش می‌گذارد و ثانیه‌شمار قلبم با صدای بلند خود را فریاد می‌زند. اشک‌هایی که بند ندارند، اما خفه می‌کنند؛ خاطراتی که نه تصویری دارند، نه صدایی، اما ریشه‌های عمیق در دل و جان باقی می‌گذارند. در قلب سرزمین بی‌زمان، جایی که زمان و مکان همچون خاطرات در هم تنیده‌اند.

نقدم الفصل الرابع من تضامننا مع فورتي ٤٤، البار في يريفان المعروف بحفلات لا تنسى

Tigrane Kazazian - Live Oud // تيجران - فورتي ٤٤ الفصل الرابع

شیوه بَربَط ‌نوازی | هُمایون . بیداد

در مُد هُمایون، با گذرهایی آرام از فضای بیداد
این اجرا بر پایه‌ی بداهه‌ پردازی شکل گرفته و بر توازن میان سکوت و صدا، مکث و حرکت استوار است.
جمله‌بندی‌ها اشاره‌هایی دارد به حافظه‌ی شنیداری موسیقی ایرانی، اما بیان کلی قطعه، کاملاً شخصی و مستقل است.

Style of Barbat Playing | Homayoun . Bidād

A solo oud piece, improvised within the Homayoun mode, subtly touching on the atmosphere of Bidād.
This performance explores the balance between silence and sound, stillness and motion.
While the phrasing nods to the memory of Persian classical music, the overall expression remains deeply personal and independent.

Recorded: 2015
Paris | France

شیوه بَربت نوازی - دستگاه همایون

Hello again Listeners,

 Hope I'm not overloading you, but here's another of our recent 
 ambient/contemporary classical improvs. I have several weeks of 
 recordings i'm going though and just wish to share the best.

 Far from virtuosity, we seem to discover the 'Feels' and 'Flows' that 
 organically emerge from our musical conversations.
 
 And btw... this is an Homage to All who have found their way.

 
Anomon is on his Kawai ES7 Stage Piano, and illio is on his kinda Gypsy Classical Guitar.

May you enJOY even half as much as we did!  :-D

Finding a Way

نامه بی‌کلام به یک دوست
این قطعه، بداهه‌نوازی عودی است که در خلوتی شخصی شکل گرفت؛ شبیه به نامه‌ای بی‌کلام، که گفته نشد اما در صدا جاری شد. موسیقی‌اش ساده و صادقانه است و حس درونی را بی‌واسطه منتقل می‌کند.
این ترک به یاد دوستی ضبط شده که حضورش همیشه در سکوت حس می‌شد.
تقدیم به حمید قربانزاده، دوست عزیزم، که این ساز را برایم ساخت.

A Wordless Letter to a Friend
This piece is an improvised oud solo, shaped in a quiet personal moment — like a letter left unsent, expressed through sound. Its music is simple and honest, carrying a feeling without words.
It was recorded in memory of a friend whose presence was always felt in silence.
- Dedicated to my dear friend Hamid Ghorbanzadeh, who made this instrument for me.

A Wordless Letter to a Friend

Wenn die Zähne knirschen, bist du zu verbissen
säubere dich, reinige dich, reinige dein Gewissen
mach dich frei von der Schuld oder mach dich frei von dem 
Schuld-Kult, ich mein
achte besser auf dein Mund
von nichts kommt nichts also tue ich was für den Bund
Paff paff pas und ich bin gesund
wenn die zwei, sich einig werden, hat das ein Grund weil immer
einer den Anfang macht 
halte mir den Rücken frei, der Partner - schaff'
weil wir so partizipieren also schau auf deine Werke 
denn Er prüft Herz und Nieren
bin ein Gewinner, ein Gönner, ich kann verlieren 
Feuer frei !
Kannst du die Flamme sehen ?
" " " " "
" " " " "
" " " " " 
Bin ich dein Dummie 
oder welche Laus ist dir über die Leber gelaufen ?
Ich bau was auf, der Kontakt reißt nicht ab 
da sind Pläne am laufen, ich kann nur tun ja was ich tue
kann keine Seele verkaufen, zeig den Weg, wenn dich sich verlaufen 
und verkauf was dampft 
zeige Liebe, keine Angst - denkt das Reh, dass es den Wolf jagen kann ?
Sag mir wie lange noch, sag wohin soll ich gehen
ich hab keine Wahl und das ist, was ich wähle denn
das Ergebnis, bleibt immer der selbe Fehler
emotionales Drive by für die Leber,
komm besser nicht unter die Räder - kein bla bla 
ich bin Täter und gebe dem Kläger, mehr dazu später
sag mir wieso sollte ich sagen: hätte, könnte, wollte?
Denn das Wort wiegt was, so wie die Knolle
Ja die Tasche ist leer doch der Segen macht sie wieder voll
und das Blatt ist leer, nur so lange bis ich wieder .. ..

By a quiet stream in the nature of Pai, Northern Thailand, I sat with my Rav Vast and dove inward.
“In & Out” is a live handpan journey, recorded in one take — wrapped in the wild soundscape of the jungle: flowing water, winds, birds, and a steady inner pulse.

Most of the time, my eyes were closed — no plan, just breath, presence, and surrender.
Through the music, I try to create a space to pause, to breathe, to reconnect, and to remember the light within.

I hope this moment brings you calm, softness, and a place to land — just as I needed when I played.

You’re welcome here.

In times of trouble it does not matter where you are but who you are.

Standing for your principles has value , the rest has none.

Do good ,feel good, but forget the old, it will only bring you sorrow.

As long as people you love decide not to change, nothing will change.

C’est la Vie.

Johnny Berrevoets

Riccardo Corso nasce a Milano nel 1972 e cresce in Sicilia. Oggi ha 51 anni di cui circa 40 vissuti intensamente nella musica.
Si innamora della musica da piccolissimo e della chitarra che, all’ eta’ di 8 anni inizia a studiare da autodidatta.
Approfondisce poi lo studio della musica. Ama da sempre comporre , e sin dagli esordi manifesta una prolifica creatività 
musicale che, evolvendosi,  lo porta a registrare una moltitudine di idee ed a collaborare con numerosi artisti della scena POP italiana, come 
arrangiatore, compositore, collaboratore artistico, turnista oltre che compositore di colonne sonore. 
“Electric Vibe” e’ il suo primo album da solista, in cui si spazia dal rock energico con eleganti sfumature fusion ad intense ballads dai tratti filmici.
Un disco potente ma al contempo armonicamente raffinato e melodico

موسيقى وخبار

كما يكشف الستيريوسكوب عن العمق والأبعاد، منصتنا تكشف عن طبقات من القصص والأصوات، تتقاطع وتتشابك لتخلق تجربة موسيقية غنية. وُلد في العالم العربي كإثبات وجود صوتي، ليكون مساحة للموسيقيين للتعبير، للمقاومة، وللتأمل—أحيانًا عن قصد وأحيانًا فقط لأن الأمر يستحق ذلك.

في الداخل، ستجد جلسات جاز حيّة من زوايا غير متوقعة، مقاطع راب خامّة من شوارع السودان، وأشرطة إيقاعية تمزج الثقافات، وكل ما هو بينهما. هنا تتلاشى الأنماط، تذوب الحدود، ويحمل كل مقطوعة قصتها الخاصة. استمع، اشعر، ودع الموسيقى تكشف عن أبعادها.


Like a stereoscope reveals depth and perspective, our platform uncovers layers of stories and sounds, intersecting and intertwining to create a rich musical experience. Born in the Arab world as a sonic proof of existence, it’s a space for musicians to explore, resist, and reflect—sometimes with intention, sometimes just for the f**k of it.

Inside, you’ll find live jazz sessions from unexpected corners, raw verses from the streets of Sudan, hypnotic beat tapes that blend cultures, and everything in between. Genres blur, borders dissolve, and every track tells its own story. Tune in, listen deeply, and let the music reveal its layers.

Arman Sigarchi 

Iranian oudist & composer based in Cologne and Rasht. Blending Persian tradition with experimental textures, improvisation, and personal history. Founder of Cigarchi Tobacco, a multidisciplinary music & craft project.

Hi, I’m Omer Golo — musician and traveler.
For years, I’ve been moving between countries, languages, and cultures — and so has my music.

I play handpan, percussion, and other rhythmic instruments, blending sounds and emotions to create something both beautiful and grounding.

Through music, I aim to share my energy and light — creating honest moments of presence and connection.

This channel is here for you.

Light your inner flame, 
so others will see their own.

Music from 231. Electroacoustic compositions & live improvisations: Andeas K (cello), Eric B (basses), Martin G. (guitars, pedal steel, mandolin, violin) (AEM) Sefan Smulovitz (viola, bass) (KMS)and Wendy Rubin (piano/flute/voice). Live improvisations are not overdubbed or edited.

There's no doubt about it, Music animates my Soul, and as an enthusiastic student of Life as well as a passionate Improvisational Pianist &  Composer, as far as I'm concerned, our lives would be impoverished without it ! :)  Composing is all about 'Sharing the Joy, Passion and Angst' we experience in Life, as well as connecting with Musicians and 'Creatives' worldwide. This makes it even more wonderful!  That willingness to engage in whatever way makes SC an ever-expanding Movable Feast that nourishes and inspires on so many levels. 

Music Communicates the Emotional and Informational Content and Context of Heart, Mind, Spirit, and Soul. And 'Letting it Flow' is 'Where Its At' as I hear it!  

Over the past few years since becoming part of the SoundCloud Family, my 'Joy in and Passion for' Creative Musical Expression has increased exponentially as has my appreciation of all the wonderfully passionate Musicians and Creatives worldwide who have devoted themselves to Letting It Take Form! 

Here's a bit of a bio, if anyone is interested.  

Somehow, my MUSE got my attention at a tender age. About the time I was completing my Royal Conservatory training. 

My memory being poorer than most, I began improvising in the passages I had forgotten. And while the audience seemed unaware, my teacher chastised me indulgently, saying, "it appears I have a budding composer on my hands"!  And thus began my Odyssey into the wonderful Vibrational world of Sound!:-) In-deed, I have been an ardent, attentive and appreciative acolyte of my Muse ever since. 

During the early 1970s I had the pleasure and honour of a three year friendship and Master Class with the then Octogenarian Composer Manoah Leide-Tedesco , one of Tone Poem giant Richard Strauss` favorite pupils and friend of Maurice Ravel and other 20th century composers such as Stravinsky (whose music he helped popularize). Since then, whether Improvising, listening, studying composition or devoting myself wholly to the visual arts for years at a time, I have been deeply aware that sharing my musical insights , teaching, and or mentoring young aficionados came with the territory!   I love it, although I am afraid that as my consciousness expands...that I know less and less each year! :-)  

The Tonal Oasis called SoundCloud is a fine and wondrous place in oh so many ways.  And with your support and appreciation, I de-Light to share my music with an ever widening audience. I call what i upload ' Sound-Seeds'.  Most of these 'bed tracks' call out to be fleshed out by passionate soloists who somehow Resonate with my Soundz and Ideas.  So please drop me a line, as i am most interested in letting them bear more fruit through collaboration, interpretation, re-mixing or use in other media.    

And on a personal Note, a Huge Thank-You to each and all who listen, inJoy, and Re-Post onwards what finds it's way thru me! :) Bless y'all.  It's my Joy to simply 'Let' the Creative Spirit find expression through this instrument of Body, Mind, and Heart!  I hope you will find some peace, joy, and rest, in at least some of my improvisations, compositions, or soundz. 

Insofar as playing, and composing  ... as you continue on in Your journey into  the infinite 'Cave of Wonders' we call Music, I wish you all the very best in all Your creative endeavours. 

So Be Kind to yourSelves and one another. Be Audacious, Ready to Play, and above all, share the Joy of being able to express whatever you're feeling. 

In-deed, may The Muse continue to 'Sing on and Play on' through each of us !   For this is one way this 'ol world is lifted up, and Changed for the better - note by note, and smile by smile .  

 Yes, may we simply Let our Creativity flow forth without concern for results.
                                   Peace

                                    Gary *+*
