Inspired by a dear friend who deserved a long holiday. Hope you enjoy this 4-minute invitation to relax and daydream.

An original composition, no AI,  written digitally MIDI to DAW. 

VST instruments: Synth guitars with echo and reverb, bass, harp, cellos, and "sailing" sounds with Latin and hip hop beats at a very chill 65 bpm.

Wrote a demo of this track in December 2022, but updated the track in February 2024 after adding “sailing" audio. 

Three of the five AUDIO files in Sailing Barcelona were recorded live of improvised water sounds — such as splashes caused by my cupped hand pushing through a bathtub of water or tapping a large metal bowl of water with metal spoon to simulate the pinging of rigging on a sailboat’s aluminum mast. Plus, I imported AUDIO of birdsong, wind, and wind chimes  recorded live in ATL via iPhone on the 8th and 28th of February, 2024. Sailing Barcelona offers a partially-manufactured ambience, but one made by a human.🤗

COVER ART is original CGI by SUNNYBECK created using the DaVinci app for AI-generated original images and the artist’s CGI designed into a composite in Photoshop.

The much loved Radio Station was shutting down , a very sad day . This is the 2nd song by myself and well respected Alabama Lyricist Tony Harris , our next outing is a Country Rock song on the 22nd . Before that Charlie and the Fox have a cracking song out on the 15th of this Month , our working title was Sad Song , but it ended up a bit of a Dance track ( sort of ! ) Then on the 1st of May is a great track by brilliant New York Lyricist Andrea Brennan and I , working on a new one at the moment . So many thanks to everyone for sparing the time to listen !

"Winds"
Valhjim

"Winds" opens with a haunting melody that floats through a landscape of echoes and unusual spaces. The song soon unfolds into arpeggiated electric guitar chords that gently waver, creating a shifting foundation. 

A pan flute weaves its melody over the guitar, its notes transformed by flangers and effects into a constantly morphing soundscape. A girl's voice enters, carrying a melody that leads into an electric guitar solo, rich with a sense of yearning. 

The piece closes with an intimate exchange between the girl's voice and the guitar, their melodies intertwining in delicate dialogue.

Hope you like it, folks.

Thanks for listening
and for your kind words.

Many thanks to Martin Miers for his magic 
percussions on this piece.

WHEN IM GONE

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.
