Very powerful opening, with clock of time ticking ominously throughout.

Lovely poem... super emotional sound track. "Cry no more".

"Prospero’s Farewell"
Valhjim

The day is done. Cry no more.
We have done our best. Already, 
the sun is sinking behind the sea. 

Birds fly to their nests. The tide is soft 
and warm. The world is calm. I leave 
in peace. I am satisfied. There is love 
in my heart 

and understanding. 

We all do that we can. At times, we exceed 
expectations and surprise even ourselves.
 
Often, we fall short, but that is fine,
that is human, and we come here to learn

 from all we live.

The day is done, but there is another shore 
behind the horizon where the sun shines
brighter, the meadows greener, the music 
of the spheres takes on a myriad forms 

that feel 

soft to the touch, their colors morphing 
in tandem with feelings of unimaginable
 beauty and love.

So, cry no more. I will be fine and keep you all
In my heart forever. World without end.

Prospero's Farewell—A Requiem

Valhjim is a music composer with an eclectic approach to different genres: rock, pop, folk, New Age, and experimental electronic music. Greatly driven by imagination and poetic imagery, he combines multiple instrumental textures to fire the imagination of his listeners. 

His more experimental ambience and electronic music is built with layers of suggestive sound textures, rhythms, and melodic lines that stir the imagination into suggestive imagery and worlds unseen, true architectures of sound that open up limitless spaces to explore. Often Valhjim's melodies sail through genre thresholds, crossing over from one genre to another, from neo classcal to electronic, or from jazz to rock or new age.
