A Moon and Some Roses (for Piano)

"In a distant future where organic life and machine consciousness have merged, a towering structure rises from the heart of a neon-lit metropolis—a cathedral not built of stone, but of circuitry, fiber optics, and humming energy. This is the Circuit Cathedral, a sanctuary where digital souls come to reflect, recharge, and transcend."

The concept for this track came from prompting A.I. for inspiration for a new track.  The A.I. suggested a synth-laden electronic rock track with a rogue theremin thrown in for good measure.  It also came up with the track's title, cover art, and backstory.

[Please note: as this un-mastered track was mixed using headphones, I recommend that it be listened to via headphones/earbuds to ensure the best listening experience.]

A Piano In Vienna (Piano Improv)

ToneDeF is a software engineer by profession, part-time composer by inclination. He is influenced musically by what he listens to, which consists of hard rock, hair metal, synth-pop, progressive rock/metal, new age electronic, techno/trance, and classics from the Romantic and Baroque periods. It is not unusual to hear tiny shades of commercially successful works within his own humble little ones -- he considers it an homage to the truly talented.

One of ToneDeF's guilty pleasures is recreating the music of classic computer/video games utilizing modern synthesized and sampled sounds. His first submission to SoundCloud was a re-imagining of the main theme music from the classic LucasArts game, "Ballblazer".

Although he has chosen "ToneDeF" as his handle, rest assured that he is not actually "tone deaf".

Who exactly are "The ElectroMetal Minstrels"? They are the virtual musicians "performing" the virtual instruments on each track sequenced by ToneDeF.
