i like how the different voices work together!!

Fantastic textures. Love the slow build and sidechained (?) percussion

border line cheery!  I nearly smiled at 7 mins in😀 🎹 

Really engaging and compelling piece. Love the sonics and the introduction of keys.

Another very good Ambient piece. Your style reminds me of Biosphere. Great work again.

I LOVE this track. It's rare to find just brilliant ambient stuff that's warm but also interesting and focused. Consider me a fan!

Very nice and interesting. Simply awesome

Fading warmth in endless shadows — “where the light once lingers” by instagram.com/arancinalofi and instagram.com/nooneislisteningmusic blends melodic darkness with cinematic stillness, like the last memory of sunlight.

A haunting wave of nostalgia and emotion slowed into infinity, reverb echoing like memories you can’t escape.

ABOUT THE ARIA
From Masquerade, the third act in a trio of operas called Three Way. Masquerade takes place at a lavish suburban home. It’s a swinglife party, where people from all walks of life pursue their wildest erotic dreams. Couples in masks and robes have paired off in twos and threes. In this aria, the conservative, middle-aged Larry thought he was going to have fun with two ladies, but had performance anxiety. He pours a drink and laments.

ABOUT THE OPERA
An Il trittico for the Tinder generation, Three Way is a new opera about the present and future of sex and love with music by Robert Paterson (The Whole Truth) and a libretto by David Cote (Blind Injustice). In three playful acts, average heroes explore the worlds of android lovers, BDSM and polyamory in a quest for “more” in today’s hyperconnected and gender-fluid world. Featuring Nashville Opera, conducted by Dean Williamson. Original cast recording.

LYRICS
I’m angry with myself.
Well, just a part of myself—
The part that lies there like a shrunken lump.
I could take that magic pill,
But I’d rather use my will,
Not an artificial bump to end this slump.

Two of them, two of them, what more could you ask?
Two luscious ladies, eager and game.
That makes three of us, three of us, all in our masks,
The lighting is low, the cushions are deep,
It’s my favorite dream but I’m not asleep.
And Little Larry Junior’s not making a peep.
I guess it’s not my night.
Not my night. Not my night.

I’m beating up myself.
I should be nicer to myself.
I want to keep on playing in the game.
But despite my healthy hunger,
The other team is so much younger
And my pitching arm is feeling awful lame.
When did the wild man get so very tame?
Not my night! Not my night.

PROGRAM NOTES (SHORT VERSION FOR PROGRAMS) 
When I first began to plan this sonata for bassoon and piano, I had no idea that I would be inspired by something so overtly programmatic, let alone by an American, historical figure who was alive well before I was born. I knew that the premiere would take place at the Thomas Edison Inn in Port Huron, Michigan, and my curiosity eventually took hold and I started reading up on Thomas Edison’s inventions and his life. I was immediately hooked: many of his experiences and beliefs resonated with me. I could not stop thinking about him or his inventions and they ended up providing a Romantic and technical inspiration for this piece.

The first movement, Edison’s Ears, is inspired by a legendary story about the ear problems Edison suffered from throughout his childhood in Port Huron. According to this tale, when he was 15, a train accident further injured his ears. When he tried to jump on the moving train, the conductor grabbed him by his ears to help pull him up. The young Edison said he felt something snap inside his head, and he soon began to lose much of his hearing. The thought of something “snapping inside his head” made me think how, as morbid as this is, inventing something musical from this story might have humored him. The middle of the movement reaches its peak with a loud, staccato “snapping” chord. The beginning of this movement sounds somewhat mechanical and is the first of three locomotive sections (based on three musical quotes) that progressively increase in tempo. The end of the movement gradually descends in register and dies away, much like a hyper-speed, fast-forward toward his eventual and inevitable hearing loss.

The second movement, Mina’s Tapping, draws its inspiration from a story about Edison’s second wife, Mina Miller. The story goes that they were introduced to each other by his life-long friend Ezra Gilliland: “Their courtship ended when Edison tapped out a proposal for marriage on Mina’s hand. In their many years together the pair communicated via Morse code. When attending meetings or at gatherings with friends, Mina would tap out the discussions in Morse code on her deaf husband’s hand. Despite his long hours away from home, Thomas and Mina were totally devoted to each other and profoundly in love.” In this movement, Edison is represented by long melodic lines; Mina is represented by heartbeat-like, pulsed chords derived from the dots, dashes and spaces of Morse code.

Edison is also responsible for creating a revolutionary business model, the world’s first “invention factory.” The final movement,Invention Factory Eureka, is inspired by this, and the one invention that is said to have been Edison’s only true “Eureka!” invention, the cylinder phonograph. The opening motivic material in this movement is derived from the word “Eureka!” The many bright ‘dings’ throughout the middle of the movement represent the cliché of a light bulb appearing above someone’s head when they have a bright idea. This image ties in nicely to Edison, his inventions and his one “eureka” moment.

A Transmutation of Friendship, built around a deep sub pulse that builds and drops throughout the track.

The track is lighter than my normal moods but still pulls a dark theme as it blends distant pads with echoes and blends of reverberated stabs.

It's really worth, sitting back with this.. Just hang in as the drop and climb out is more than euphoric..
