I feel human-warm from this track...it is the best thing for me...Please keep creating music❣️

Hi Daniel!! Your presence adds a special flair to SoundCloud! Very pleasant soundtrack! That's a thoughtful message with soul +'fuel' lyrics...A hurting world needs this, & your tender heart brought them a slice of generous comforting thoughts! +Priceless!! One-of-a-kind vocals make this a real treat! The music is warm & inviting with an uplifting vibe that can be appreciated by anyone at anytime! ⭐🔁😁👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻🌞‼

I stopped making music after Covid changed my life pretty drastically in a variety of ways. I'm finally starting to feel the groove again. This track was done in Garageband with some loops and sounds and the lyrics are meant to remind myself and anyone else who listens to this song that we're not alone and to stay groovy basically lol - I like putting uplifting reminders in music so that when I get it stuck in my head later it reminds me to stay positive. I didn't have the adaptor for my microphone so I just used my laptop mic to improvise - when your flow dies and you feel it spark up again - don't worry about getting everything perfect - just let yourself find the flow and dive in <3

Lyrics:
Even at home we’ve got the love
We’re not alone so stand on up yeah
Keepin the vibe up can be tough
So take a deep breath and breathe the funk
(x2)
---
Breathe it in!
---

The gist of the lyrics:
Separation is an illusion. We are all connected by the thread of love that brought us to this plane of existence and are woven into the tapestry of its incomprehensible beauty. Stand up and dance with it all if you want :) Breathe in the good vibes and keep the groove alive <3

This song was inspired by a few different things. The last time I was feeling open enough to come out of my shell a bit and make happy sounding music was a day when the music I was working on started to have a funky flow and I noticed a correlation between my level of happiness and the sound of the music. I began associating funky music with happiness in a way. However, the last day I worked on this happier music, I started going through some really difficult times. I stopped working on music all together for some time and when I returned to it, I mainly used it as a medicine to ease the pain from the trauma I was experiencing. The music allowed me to turn my focus away from the trauma and onto something therapeutic instead. After time passed and I began to feel my soul recollecting itself, I aligned with my amazing partner and fell in love. It wasn't too long after that when the Covid-19 paradigm shift happened. My daughter and I moved to a different state to live with my partner and experienced a few losses and Covid related difficulties, but overall we're happy and I feel happier than I've ever been before and it's starting to come out in the sounds and vibes of the music I work on. My partner listens to a variety of music but I really like the funky stuff he listens to a lot lol and he's always dancing to some song in his head and it's really hard not to smile when I see him doing that - it got me in a happy music mood so I decided to try an electronic funk song.

The lyrics were inspired after listening to Ram Dass while processing the fear and sadness from the Covid-19 shift: www.youtube.com/watch?v=EUWSWmyWZjs : "Instead of responding to each fear specifically" - "cultivate the other part of yourself that is connected to all things" - so I remembered music and how it has always brought people together and acts as a vessel of connection - and I thought about how we're all connected and how nothing can change that and I wanted to put the reminder alongside some tunes.

Double Sonata No. 2 for Bb Clarinet and Piano (mastered by eMastered.com)

Welcome and well met! The chances that you will be granted eternal life, after listening to this creation, are pretty good!

This is my first ever "useable" eurorack modular patch i ever created and passed my hearing test (lol) for reaching its final state of going public - therefore being uploaded onto the cloud. 

I am down to synths, hell yes i do! I recently found, that there are some organic limitations in working only in a DAW with virtual instruments. I herded quite some synths and will definately use them in future tracks, but working analogue is quite different.

There is no preset to load, no ultimate variations or starting points, depending on the architecture and the signal flow, you have to fiddle and turn some knobs and sliders and really understand the basics and how all of these manipulations come together to create something audible.

Some stuff is pre-patched internally, especialy with semi-modular stuff, and for instance using something like the Behringer Crave or the Arturia Minibrute 2, this stuff can be manipulated and tweaked thanks to a additional patchbay with many ins and outs to plug some cables for some FUN.

I got this eurorack-case quite some time ago and it was just a matter of time that i will order my first module, and another one and yeah that other fancy one too, and gladly i did not turn mad (yet), because there are millions of possibilities and options to create your own really "unique" instrument with so much stuff being able to do with it, that someone really should boggle about it  more than twice, before loading tons of stuff into the shopping basket and put some heat on the credit card... hahaha.

After a nice weekend at the "parentsinlawplace" i ended up after quite some midi-to cv (control voltage) trial and error runs and decided i will just go for some really mindless fun before i hit bed.
What happened then was this 4 minute thing with me patching some stuff into the osiris wavetable oscillator module by modbap and what you hear in this drone-scape-ish osiris travel into the afterlife (and maybe back again?). It is the result of using 2 sliders and 5 knobs and getting a feel of actually going with the "flow" while discovering the sonic beauty of it.

This is the very first modular track i uploaded ever, just slightly tweaked in the DAW (added intro/outro filtersweep and delay and a general chorus to add some stereo mojo).

This is something completely different what most of you might expect here and there will be more. This is a lifetime progress and process, and I'd be happy to have you on this journey.

Truly your sonic servant,

Cmd. SF


PS: Some technical background -  for the freaks and interested people.
I did use two modulation sources which were provided by the self built DIY Dysphonia Synth - one LFO and a S&H (Sample and Hold), which were modulating the Osiris Wavetable. When you take a look onto a Wavetable, there is a X and a Y Axis. On the Osiris you can patch these with some external control-voltage (CV), so i tweaked and modulated a constant change with both the x and the y axis, as well changing the actual wavetable-position on the module itself. Additionally i changed the timbre knob to add some additional change in the tonality and character.

Osiris - A Modular Afterlife Journey (Dronescape)

This is my remake of this classic.  The music has no resemblance to the music written by Burt Bachrach.  The lyrics are based on thise by Hal David.  I have made a few modest changes to fit my new music.

REACH OUT FOR ME  (Lyrics by Hal David)
(Original music by Burt Bacharach / Hal David)

When you go through a day
And the things that people say
They make you feel so small
They make you feel that 
Your heart will just never stop aching
And when you just can't accept the abuse you are taking
Darlin' reach out for me

Don't you worry I'll see you through
You just have to reach out for me
I'll be there and I'll confort you
Oh yes I will
Comfort you and love you
How I'm gonna love you

When good friends prove untrue
And the things they do to you
They make you feel so bad
They make you feel that
You haven't a reason for living
So when you feel you
Could throw in the towel and just given in
Darlin' reach out for me

Was ist das

VIII Strength

A song about left and right, light and dark, good and bad. When you're cruising through life in the middle somewhere, something will eventuate to tip it left or right, to the light or dark, etc; sometimes several times a day...just roll with it...it ain't going to change...

The clinking sound you hear at the intro, middle and outro is me tapping an empty coffee glass with a plastic pen. Whilst I was listening to a playback of the song, I tapped along with the track's intro. I still had the mic on so heard it through the headphones and thought it sounded good; so I recorded it and placed it in the song.

Words

Happiness 
Is just a state of mind
It makes you feel so good
You'll want it all of the time
Make it last
'cause it will just fade away
There's no need to worry
That's just the way it flows

Don't fight it
Feel it
Go with the flow
And just roll

Don’t fight it
Just roll
Feel it’s flow
And you'll find happiness again

Break
Roll baby roll
Just feel the flow
Roll baby roll
Just let it flow

Sadness
Is a state of mind
Can take you down
And sometimes it makes you cry
Just feel it
There ain't no shame
All you need is
Time

Break

Hey yeah yeah yeah yeah, ooooh
Hey yeah yeah yeah
Roll baby roll, just feel the flow
Roll baby roll
Sadness is just a state of mind
Just a state of mind
Just a state of mind
Roll baby roll, roll baby roll, feel the flow, yeah roll, just roll, roll, just roll
Just a state of mind
Just a state of mind

Roll

Hi guys, really proud today introducing a very fruitful collab with my friend Dirk Taubenheim from The Gatsbys. This song means a lot to me, as this is my very first song I partly wrote almost 15 years ago. I only finished music and arrangement last year, and considering the great welcome this song had from you all, I decided to carry on the work and write lyrics. 
Once it was finished, I offered Dirk to sing it, as I always thought he had the admirable rocky voice this song deserved. He accepted straight away to sing it, which was an honor for me considering his prolific songwriting career. If you don't know him yet, you definitely have to visit his SC page : https://soundcloud.com/the-gatsbys
I hope you enjoy, and best wishes to you all.
