Inspired by how small birds endure the harshest winter

A Robin Waiting For April

pour tout ce qui se tient en nous et tient à nous, sous l'écoulement du temps

🖤 Lyrics:
You took enough
And you robbed my heart
You think you're tough
But you're not so smart

You filled my mind
With endless lies
And I was blind
But now I'm wise

I hope everything falls apart
For you
I hope everything falls apart
For you
I hope everything falls apart


Pop 2.0

I Hope Everything Falls Apart

Orchestral music works surprisingly well with electronic sound and heavy percussions. I guess orchestral music goes well with anything. It is amazing what you can do with a little software in a computer...and a LOT of RAM...

Prisoner of Dissonance

A track from 'Looming Emotional Horizons'. (2018)  Avilable soon 

Pebbles on Snow Flakes

A slow-burning, minimalistic soundscape for a dance commission. "Time, At the Door" follows a character, suspended, pacing before a door behind which all of time quietly waits. The piece moves between the urge to step forward and the fear of what lies beyond. When the door opens, the building tension quickly releases into something unexpectedly calm, still, and lovely.

Time, At the Door (from "Dances")

Far beyond the known world lies Eloria, an ancient realm once protected by the spirits of the wind. Among golden dunes and whispering stones stood a temple, carved from pale sandstone, devoted to the harmony between humankind and nature.

But the wind has changed. The sandstorms no longer carry only dust—they carry forgetting. The last of the sand oracles, a priestess named Aelira, senses the fading of her world. With the last strength of her voice and soul, she sends out a plea—a musical invocation to the ancient elements. Not a cry of despair, but a fragile thread of hope. She doesn’t want Eloria to vanish in silence. She wants someone to remember.

Her song rises over the dunes, intertwines with the wind, blends with the drifting sands—and becomes part of the desert itself. To this day, if you listen closely, you might still hear it: the whisper of Eloria’s Plea.

Eloria's Plea

"I Just Can't Live Without You" (Instrumental)

First of all, I would like to wish a happy springtime to all of my fantastic friends here on SoundCloud!  

Without further ado, here is the full instrumental version of a short demo song I made on September 5, 2024. Originally this tune came to me when thinking about the chords and progressions in my earlier song "Peace".

This song was made, played and recorded by me as MIDI and with e.g. the following instruments and sounds: Yamaha Montage 8 (TX816 Electric Piano), Spectrasonics Keyscape (Roland MKS-20 EP sound), Arturia Jup-8 V (Horns), Arturia Synthx V, UVI Ultramini & Arturia Mini-V (Minimoog bass sound), Arturia JUN-6V (the "55 Pop Corn" sound, cf. Juno-6 Synthesizer), Native Instruments Session Guitarist - Electric Mint; and other sounds from the UVI SonicPass VST library including UVI PX Memories (cf. Memorymoog mod), UV-XXX (from the UVI "OB Legacy", horns & the brass sound), UVX-10P (cf. Roland JX-10, the flute sound) and Marcato Strings (from UVI Emulation II). The drums come from Native Instruments Abbey Roads 1980s Drummer, layered with the fantastic Simmons SDS 5 style kick & snare drums from UVI Beatbox Anthology 2.  

Recorded, edited and mixed in Cubase Pro 14, with some significant help from iZotope Neutron. Mastered in Cubase Pro with Ozone 11.


I'm certainly not a lyricist but I got some help with the lyrics! And the idea was that the lyrics would go something like this:


VERSE 

My life is good 
having you by my side
We face the future together
The years roll by
... 
It wouldn’t be the same without you
... 


CHORUS 

I just thought that you should know
I never wanna let you go...
... love you so
I just thought that you should know 
I never wanna let you go
... I just can’t live without you


I Just Can't Live Without You

The journey continues.
Escapism Vol. 2 invites you back into a world of slow rhythms, soft textures, and emotional landscapes. Across 12 downtempo tracks, this album offers a deeper exploration into solitude, dreaming, and quiet reflection. A soundtrack for disappearing into thought, feeling, and light. Let yourself drift further away, where reality fades and imagination takes hold.
