On The Path Of Adventures

Hi...I'm Max, I like music, I like to write music inspired by minimalist themes, chamber music, soundtracks and piano works. My project is to write short, simple and essential works that can arouse emotions. Music is a passion, so I don't have much time to dedicate to it. Thank you for listening to me and...any criticism is welcome!!

 Icarus Fire! is a progressive heavy metal band
inspired by artists like Kreator, Opeth, Black Sabbath, Maiden, etc...
Also my guitar heroes are Yngwie, Iommi, Michael Schenker, and many others.
I am a former from https://soundcloud.com/kheopslegacy with my friend @valakey
I play leads for Krakenmoor, The old school, Nautilus World wide band, The boilerman and other SC artists.
New recordings coming soon... 
I play an Ibanez RG652 guitar.

About Me
Hi, I’m Krissie 💜 I have high functioning autism, which I proudly call a gift, though sometimes it drags me into beautifully bonkers territory. I played saxophone for over ten years (seriously, I could wail).. until I got ill and my arms went on strike. But music? It stuck around. So now I do what I can, I write, engineer, and produce my own songs, shaping them with whatever magic I’ve got left, plus a few emotional plot twists. I mostly post them here on SoundCloud because, let’s be real, this place is easier to manage than the rest of the digital circus.

Since joining, I’ve met some incredible, like minded humans, some aliens too I'm pretty sure. If you want to be friends, yay! Come say hi, I don’t bite unless provoked 🐍 Just please don’t offer to promote me or “grow my following.” This isn’t a career move, it’s not business, this is soul work, glitter therapy, a creative outlet with mood swings. I’m here for the music, the honesty, the connections that don’t feel like marketing.

PSA: I’m a little insane. Hahaha. But in a “lost my sock under the bridge of my own song” kind of way. 🎶🧦💫

To the SoundCloud community, thank you 💜

All my life, I’ve had to hide who and what I am. I’ve never been what the world calls “normal.” As I say in 'I Don’t Write Songs "I Survive"', my brain just isn’t wired the way it should be. I’ve been called weird, not right in the head, bonkers, even crazy. So I learned to mask, to shrink, to pretend. But here.. here, I get to breathe. To be.

And it’s not just the music. It’s the comments, the replies, the strange and sparkling conversations where I finally feel like I don’t have to filter myself. I can be full volume, full chaos, full heart, and somehow, that’s not just accepted, it’s welcomed.

You beautiful humans (and possibly aliens) have given me something I never thought I’d find, a place to be fully myself. To speak how I feel, to show what I see, and to turn it all into sound and words without shame. The way you’ve welcomed me, supported me, seen me, there are no words. (Yes, I know. Me. The Queen of Words. Speechless. Don’t get used to it.)

My heart is so full of love and gratitude, I’m honestly surprised it hasn’t burst into glitter. Thank you. All of you. From the very bottom of my shoelaces 🖤🎶🧦

PS: I think I may have reached my final form. Please advise the fridge accordingly. 🧃🌀👽

I’m Tommy Stewart, an independent artist and guitarist who writes, records, and produces my own original rock and blues music. My sound is a blend of gritty guitar riffs, soulful melodies, and raw emotion, influenced by the legends of blues and rock.

Every track I share is a piece of my journey, from the first strum to the final mix. Whether it's a heartfelt ballad or a fiery rock anthem, my goal is to create music that speaks to the soul and connects with listeners on a real level.

But playing without passion is unforgivable.“

Many thanks all people for listening and sharing my music :):)
Good headphones recommended :) !

My musical development:
- took much accordion lessons in my childhood
- than playing bass accordion in an orchestra
- than learning basics of drum playing by myself
- than took guitar lessons for a few years
- than took a little bit african drums lessons
- than playing a few years in a band as a drummer
- than took some sax lessons
- than learning a bit keys and synths by myself
- than fighting to catch right tones on vocals....
- producing cover songs most since 2013
in between again and again doing nothing with music many years....
whether that has borne fruit it's your decision...
sure I'm not a professional but music shapes my life...
