'Atlas' - written and read by Vikki

Guitarist, multi-genre composer, keyboard & bass player (mostly self-taught). Music librarian and philosopher (I am retired now).
Music is new dimension of life.
“That is an artist as I love artists, modest in his needs: he really wants only two things, his bread and his art - panem et Circen.”
― Friedrich Nietzsche, Twilight of the Idols

Musician, poet, author. I create poetic cameos of life through the heart of a piano and the occasional song or poem. 

I also compose music to accompany my spoken word pieces and have collaborated with various artists in this genre.

All compositions, improvizations and cover art are original works unless otherwise stated. I hope you enjoy the journey. 🎹

MOON AND ARIES (Jordana and Tom = real human beings - no AI in our songs - all is handmade: composition & production by Tom, lyrics and vocals by Jordana).
 
MOON AND ARIES craft retro-futuristic cinematic pop, blending the emotion of trip-hop with the storytelling of synthpop — a sound where melody meets meaning.
Their music feels like scenes from a film: lush synth landscapes, soaring female vocals, and hypnotic grooves that bridge nostalgia and tomorrow. 
Driven by their shared passion for storytelling through sound, Moon and Aries deliver music that connects on a deeply human level. 

Their catalog explores universal themes: 
transformation, empowerment, longing, healing, and spiritual awakening. Whether it’s a quiet moment of self-reflection, a triumphant personal shift, or a love scene that needs to glow from within - Moon and Aries provide the perfect sonic companion. 
With a sound often compared to artists like Sade, Air, Portishead, Depeche Mode, Massive Attack and more - Moon and Aries offer a sonic palette that blends nostalgia with new-world 
optimism - ideal for storytelling that needs depth, mood, and meaning.

Do what makes YOU happy without hurting yourself or others…

Irish Musician & Singer Songwriter who decided a few years ago to start creating music again after many years of trying to ignore the call. I also decided to post whatever I created somewhere in case anyone cared to listen, even by accident! What I did not envision was finding a community of outstanding musicians, truly world class talent and fantastic people here on SoundCloud.

I never dreamed I would also have the opportunity to create music with some of these amazing people and it has been a true joy to be given the opportunity to work with some of these gifted generous people and make music I am so proud of. 

That’s me.
