Sorcerer‘s Nacht(2025)🧙‍♂️

Glimmering reflections

Chapter 221 of 266

Enter the enigmatic world of "TAFFETA," a musical tapestry woven from the threads of dreams 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.

Taffeta 221

TAFFETA | 221

B-side to the single for Tower of the Ice Lich game, coming soon to Steam: store.steampowered.com/app/3087730/T…the_Ice_Lich/.

This is one of the three Game Over track variant. It's a bit of a hybrid classical/synth piece inspired by three classical works:
Adagio for Strings by Samuel Barber (famed as the theme for the Homeworld game) 
Adagio in G minor by Tomaso Albinoni (dung dung dung)
and the Dies Irae bit of Hector Berlioz' Symphonie fantastique (monks hitting their heads with books)
With added DOOM! This one doesn't loop 'cos you're dead.

Most of the instruments are Arturia Analog Labs B-3 (organs), Synclavier (bass) and MiniFreak (voice/moan of the Lich). Then some SFX from a Korg Prologue 16 and a few stock Ableton sounds. Lots of spooky echo. Mastered using Ozone.

Cover art by Carl-Erik Engqvist of Sorchi Games.

Adagio for a Tomb

An epic electro-cinematic victory theme; some aching notes and weary synths, but the rest is both ethereal and thumbs-up city.

Temporal Dawn

Luminara

Opening fanfare, dark, mysterious, epic, for an imagined Blade Runner or Dark City sequel.

Mon esprit bleu, Mère Lusine

Once a Dream

Beauty To Hold

Wonders of the World (Remixed version):  Music inspired by the ancient and modern Wonders of the World.  A reworking of Richard's 1991 track Spirit Dance.

Composer, keyboard and drum-programming, (exept where other mentioned). 
My music is often improvised, and several songs are actually unfinished song drafts. But I hope you can ignore that and instead listen to my feelings and my thoughts. I like to play with sounds, ambient, effects, electronic instruments and tools. Drawing influences from different electronic music genres. Mostly Tangerine Dream, Brian Eno, Vangelis, Jean-Michel Jarre and Tony Banks. 
Relax and breathe, to my sound-carpets! <3

"Instead of shooting arrows at someone else’s target, which I’ve never been very good at, I make my own target around wherever my arrow happens to have landed.
You shoot your arrow and then you paint your bulls eye around it, and therefore you have hit the target dead centre."
— Brian Eno

"Always remember that when you hear a marvellous sound coming from a synthesizer it is not the machine that is doing it - it is the imagination of the man playing it."
