Return to the Light (cello, solo viola, viola sections and piano)

The basic bed tracks of this composition were done back in 2013 with just piano and cello and then placed carefully and hopefully on the back burner. I then decided to resurrect it as it just seemed to resonate recently, so I added some other solo viola and minimal viola section parts. Hope you enjoy listening to it as much as I did composing it. 

I must add that the cello part is a virtual instrument called Blackus. At the time in 2013 it was in beta form, and programmed for Kontakt Sampler by an “actual” cellist from Australia by the name of Blake Robinson. And best of all, it was free. The little VI company Embertone picked it up later on and developed it further, but I really like the sound of the original version as well. Grit and all. The solo viola is by Audio Modeling. 

The title, Return to the Light was inspired in part by the condition of the world in 2025 as it seems to be heading to a very uncertain and dangerous place. I feel that eventually we will realize that we can’t keep doing things with unprecedented greed and corruption. Our technology is also getting much too advanced for our collective maturity especially in the war department. Science and technology when used for good is a very good thing but for some it is becoming the new God. Science without morals or caring is just materialism, but to be fair, spirituality, religion/morals without science can be superstition. They must agree.

PS: Cover artwork and design by yours truly. All Instruments whether acoustic or plug-ins are performed by myself, unless otherwise indicated. No AI or phrases included. 

Return to the Light

Chapter 247 of 266

Enter the enigmatic world of "TAFFETA," a musical tapestry woven from the threads of consciousness and tragedy. Born from a single night of profound dreaming, this ambitious project embarks on an exploration of the human psyche through the language of instrumental music.

This is a five-year project, comprising of what will eventually end at 266 chapters, each is a standalone piece of sonic artistry, "TAFFETA" unfolds like a novel, with each composition serving as a chapter in a larger narrative. Crafted with meticulous care and creative fervor, every piece is birthed within the span of a week, capturing the essence of inspiration in its purest form.

But "TAFFETA" is more than just a collection of songs; it's a journey of the soul. Set against the backdrop of loss and longing, the project follows the story of a woman who slips into a coma following the untimely death of her husband. Through the evocative power of music, listeners are transported into her world, where emotions ebb and flow like the tides of a restless sea.

Week by week, each chapter of "TAFFETA" unfolds on SoundCloud, inviting audiences to immerse themselves in its haunting beauty. From cinematic compositions to haunting electronic soundscapes, each piece adds a layer to the intricate tapestry of sound, weaving a narrative that transcends the boundaries of language.

As listeners embark on this sonic voyage, they are invited to ponder the mysteries of existence, to confront the depths of sorrow and the resilience of the human spirit. "TAFFETA" is not merely a musical project; it's an experience—a testament to the transformative power of music to touch hearts, stir souls, and awaken the imagination.

I totally forgot about that recording of my song "Fate" that was originally released two years ago. It's a re-recording I did in the studio back in 2015.
