Selection of 2023-01 | Chapter 1

Rabbit Rock

This is one of the battle tracks of the yet unreleased game Anthador.
After I had finished the first attempt of this composition there was something missing. A lack of energy, character and vitality. So I decided to rework the composition and add another instrument that I'm quite familiar with from the past years as a singer-songwriter and frontman of my band: my voice.

Singing in this completely different style was a challenging but very exciting and fun experience. You may want to check out a short "behind the scenes" video: https://www.youtube.com/shorts/4zvCrhwvero

Point Of No Return

Here is a new track written with a new collaborator, vocalist Elvya. @elvyadulcimer brings her wonderful heavenly vocals to this Celtic track and Jordi Storm lends his voice on harmony.  We hope Willows Waltz will transport you to a peaceful spring day, laying by a river bank under the gently swaying boughs of a willow tree.

Willow's Waltz (Philleann & Elvya)

Like  Sisyphus who lifts his stone every day and begins to climb, knowing that, inevitably, the stone will end up rolling down the slope, and he will have to start over.

EVERY DAY I TRY...

This is a song that started with Ian (IPG1 aka Lou) and his amazing vocal stem, of which I really identify with the lyrics. He has a plethora of vocal stems, so if you're interested in making a hip hop song, you did hit him up. He shared this psychiatrist l particular one with Tez (Llanpsych), who put a beat and guitar on it. Tez then sent it to me, and I added the bass and the synth. Then Tez put the solo part in there along with the effects. he mixed and produced it, and an excellent job he always does, too. This is my first foray into making hip hop, though I've listened to plenty. Hopefully there will be more to come.

MARIUSZ DUDA | CLAUSTROPHOBIC UNIVERSE 
cover by Dan van den Berg

This cover is off an album by Mariusz Duda, member of the band Lunatic Soul, made during lockdown and to me that explains the title of this track. Although it’s also a funny contradiction, calling an endless universe claustrophobic. The original features some acoustic piano, although heavily processed and brought into an environment of electronic sounds especially a synthesized arpeggio part that accompanies the entire track and gives it a constant drive. 
I liked the track immediately and could imagine an acoustic guitar version, so I arranged it as such, trying also the reproduce some of the electronic effects manually. Everything here is classical / flamenco technique fingerpicking though. 

I hope you’ll enjoy my cover and in case you don’t know the original, please find it here: https://youtu.be/IenweoqlyKs

As always I really enjoy your likes, shares and comments!

The Blue Currents EP is the second part of a double album project that I am releasing across four EPs over the next year or so. The album will follow a drop of water as it makes its way from being frozen on a glacier all the way down to the depth of the ocean. The Blue Currents EP tells the second part of the story. Musically it is primarily within the ambient genre with elements of classical contemporary, experimental electronic, lo-fi, drone and downtempo.

A Dark Purpose

Drifting Worlds Mix 2

A small note on my own behalf: I have noticed that my playback figures have dropped dramatically. The statistics show that the number of playbacks has dropped from 2000 per week to just under 200.
On the one hand, this is frustrating, as everyone sees this as an indicator and confirmation of their work. On the other hand, figures are not particularly important, but one wonders what is wrong. In my opinion, SC has changed a lot, uploading tracks has become more complicated and constant security queries are annoying.
In addition, great artists are disappearing from the platform, partly by their own choice, partly because they have been banned, the algorithm has “recognized” them as spam and mercilessly deleted their account. I'm still a paying member, but my attitude towards this has changed...

Please let me know your experiences and impressions.

When I don't have the time to actively listen to my favorite artists on soundcloud, I just leave the stream running...while washing up in the kitchen, for example 😆

********************************************************************

A long, long time ago, there was an organ in the Christmas-decorated living room in his parents' house, where Frank grew up. Originally bought by his father for his two older siblings, they showed no interest in playing the organ. Frank, however, did. White and black keys and giving off strange sounds. 

So at the age of 9 he began to let his fingers circle on this instrument, searching for the right keys like on a typewriter. And another 9 years would pass before he could buy his first own instrument. Already at the age of 13 he made notes about the then current synthesizers, bought one magazine after the other and visited music fairs in Frankfurt, Germany.

His first keyboard was the Yamaha DSR-2000, which he bought in a music store near his hometown Biebertal. In installments! Finally he could develop himself further - away from the limited tonality of the small organ. The built-in 8-track sequencer helped him to reach unimagined heights. 
Little by little his equipment expanded and his ambition to create music like that of Jean-Michel Jarres came closer. Influenced by this and countless other musicians of the time, his interest grew, but he taught himself everything. Not even having attended a music school or being able to read music at all, he wrote one song after another and recorded them on the only medium available to him at the time: audio cassettes.
Many of these recordings are unfortunately lost forever, because cassettes are and were not the best recording medium. He has to try to play many of his songs from memory. 

In 2007, he fulfilled a long-awaited wish: to buy a KORG. He had always wanted to own one, but with the latest synthesizers at the time of their release having a purchase price of over 6000 D-marks (the currency of the time in the 1980s and 1990s), that dream of owning one was far away. So in 2007 he bought a used KORG 01W/FD at ebay. And as before with the purchase of the Yamaha keyboard, a completely new world opened up to him.

In addition, there were expanders and sound modules from Kawai, Roland and Yamaha (K1m, SC-55, QY10). Six years later his enthusiasm for making music ebbed and rediscovered his hobby (which it always was and still is). In 2018 in April he decided to present his music to a wider audience and uploaded his first song on the platform soundcloud. Since that time, thanks also to the ever-evolving software, he continues to evolve, experiment and relive his times through music.

Welcome. I'm having a bit of fun experimenting with different music styles these days so there is quite a variety here - ambient, jazz, blues, rock and experimental... anything goes!

Hope you enjoy listening.
