Grateful

🎸 Welcome to my musical journey! 🎶

Hey there, music enthusiasts! I'm Oz a hobbyist musician who's been strumming the strings of my guitar since my teenage years. Music has always been my passion, weaving its melodies through every chapter of my life. From the intricate rhythms of Oriental music to the rebellious energy of pop-punk, the timeless allure of blues, the groove of funk, and the nostalgia of electronic sounds from the '80s and '90s, I find inspiration in a diverse array of genres.

For me, music is more than just sound – it's a language of emotions, a canvas where I paint my feelings and experiences. The power of music to evoke and express emotions never ceases to amaze me. Being part of this vibrant community here on SoundCloud fuels my creative drive and pushes me to explore new sonic landscapes.

As the legendary Bob Marley once said, "One good thing about music, when it hits you, you feel no pain." So join me on this musical voyage, where we'll dive deep into the ocean of melodies and rhythms, sharing moments of joy, introspection, and everything in between.

Let's make some noise together! 🤘

The Serenity is a studio project somewhere between wave and pop music.
Thank you for being here and for listening. Comments are always welcome.
All songs are originals and copyrigthed.

I feel that sharing world music, handmade, without a system or money-making industry behind it is the best thing we can do to change the current, very dark techno scene that A.I. intends to change worldwide! I am grateful to be part of a musical journey with my friend and so many gifted musicians here on SC worldwide..
Sharing it here and reaching people like you is the best compliment we can have. We wish for collaborations! I wish you the best with your music!

All for the sake of experiment. Attempts to master neural engines through practical experience and turn them into works of art.

So happy you found me here♪

My goal is to create grand original songs with an atmosphere similar to rock or metal, layered with piano and strings.
The main themes of the songs are emotional themes such as love and dreams, as well as natural themes such as the universe, the world, the sky, and the sea.

I recorded the guitar, bass, piano and drums myself, although I'm not very good at them. The vocals (Koharu Rikka, a virtual singer) are expressed using Synthesizer V.
Some elements like certain string parts, ambient sounds, and subtle adjustments were programmed using MIDI — although some of the string sounds were also played and recorded using an electric piano.

In particular, I love and cherish the structure of the songs, including the piano playing, the powerful and beautiful melodies, and the worldview created by the strings.

Please note that I don’t use Messages. Feel free to leave a comment instead.

I hope my original songs reach your heart.
Thank you for listening.

"Redder" is a palindrome. Like "racecar" or "level". These pieces of music ain't.

My name is Volker Redder, online I go by "docredder." It all came about because I studied biology and computer science for a long time and received my doctorate as the crowning achievement of my academic career.
As a child, I sang Bach in the church's „Knabenchor Unser Lieben Frauen“ because my mother thought it was good for my soul. And it was, until, thanks to an excellent teacher, I realized that music is like mathematics. After that, I loved not only music but also mathematics and all sciences based on mathematics: physics, biology, chemistry, computer science. So, I went straight into the natural sciences and engineering. Yes, I studied a lot. However, a university career wasn't for me. I wanted to monetize the findings of the various sciences (you can't live on air and love alone) and founded over a dozen companies. Because who wants life to follow a clear formula? I certainly didn't. In addition to adventurous entrepreneurship, the subsequent career in politics (German Bundestag), and a growing family, I was constantly picking up the guitar or keyboard, which is what you do when you want to escape the chaos of everyday life.
Should I say I'm a virtuoso? No. That would be a lie. I'm just too lazy for that. Laziness, or in modern parlance, "efficiency," is a principle for me. And so I founded my "own studio," consisting of a lot of electronics and software. The hipsters call it DIY. I call it "not wanting to act like a big shot and book expensive recording studios." I'm a one-man orchestra, a chef-d'oeuvre who spends all day producing pop, rock, indie, and ambient mishmash until he finally finds it he likes. My menu? Pink Floyd, Genesis, Supertramp, Muse, Zappa, Miles Davis, and many more. Yes, all at once. I told you: mishmash.
There are guys who write music to become famous. Then there's me. I write music to keep myself from going crazy. Sometimes it's funny, sometimes there's melancholy in it, sometimes it's stories from literature or something sci-fi. Or from Tinder dates my daughters have told me. I mean, who hasn't wondered what "being in Tinder light" is? Exactly. I wrote it down. I use everything I can get my hands on: GarageBand, samples, my voice, AI voices, Udio, VirtualDJ, everything! I don't care if purists say it's no longer art. It doesn't matter, the main thing is that my music feels like a window you can look out of and discover something new again and again.
Every song becomes a little adventure. Sometimes I start with a line, sometimes with a feeling I can't shake. It's like an escape from reality, except in the end, there's no escape. And that's a good thing. This is how I stay grounded. Okay, grounded isn't the right word either. Let me put it this way: I've stayed true to myself. And I'm grateful for everyone who listens, shares, or comments.
It makes me feel like I'm not completely alone in this madness. So if you also like songs that don't follow the rules, I'd be happy if you joined in. After all, the world is crazy enough.
You have to fight that with music. I mean, that's logical, right?

Thank you for visiting my profile and spending a little time listening to some music I created.
Here you will find pieces I make along the way of trying to get better at writing emotional music for solo piano and orchestral cinematic tracks as well. 
I pretty much appreciate any comment, thought or message so please don't hesitate to share if you have one. :)

Music to me means a language to describe and evoke the deepest feelings we can't have words for. 
I also like to think about music as a way of painting where harmonies are colors, melodies and rhythms give shapes and contours and where the mind of the listener is the canvas.

UPDATE October 2024

Hi there,
first of I all I would like to say THANK YOU for all your likes and comments during the last months and years and say SORRY that I did not answer for a longer time. 

A few years ago I decided to make a change in my life and learned a new profession (physiotherapist). It took me a few years so that my focus was another one than my music. But now, after finishing the training and arriving in my new job I returned to my passion "piano music". 
Well, I did not stop to play the piano, but it did not really flow. Too many thoughts in my mind. 
But now, it feels so good and easy to play and ideas for new tracks are coming back. And exactly this mood and these emotions made it possible to create two new tracks within a short time and to record them in my favourite recording studio "Tonstudio Katzer" in Nürnberg (Thank you again, Romin! Great job! Always a great time!)

So from now on I will be more present on my platform and try my very best to answer to the comments I got and get! Thank you for your support!! Take care! :-)

Hi there,
my name is Claudia Schlegel and I am glad you drop by. 🙂

I learned to play the piano as a child for several years. Honestly I don´t really know how many. But already in that time I prefered to compose than just to play already existing classical piano pieces. For sure I learned quite a lot from my piano teacher as he was a really good pianist and it was great to play pieces from Tschaikowky, Rachmaninoff etc. But it did not catch me enough for continuing. So I stopped and concentrated on sports and came back to playing  the piano not until seven years ago. It was like „love at second sight“. Since that time I compose my own piano pieces in my leisure time, by which I can express my emotions and handle different situations in live. My music helps me quite a lot to calm down. 

You are very welcome to listen to them. If you like them I will be very happy! If not, no problem at all. I am glad that at least you gave it a try! 

My tracks "Grateful", "Lost in dreams", "Let go", "Traumpfad", "Neuanfang" and "A Sunday in November" (studio version) have been recorded in "Tonstudio Katzer" in Nürnberg in Germany in 2019 and 2022, my new tracks "For more humanity" and "Open your heart" in October 2024. Thank you Romin! Amazing job! Always a great experience and pleasure to be in your studio and to get your professional input! :-) 

Have a nice day everybody and take care! 😊

Claudia
