This is such a beautiful, inspired piece, Sander. Really gorgeous, as is : )

Your piano, your music inspires me terribly! It's sublime poetry and sensitivity!

Would you be able to provide a copy of the sheet music for the piano part? I would love to learn this

In ATL where I live, rainstorms have arrived for the next few days as Hurricane Erin has moved inland. Yet, even on the rainiest of days, the afterglow of music created around firelight lingers like the smoky scent of burnt hickory. In my world, that “firelight” is a computer screen, although in the past I’ve noodled an acoustic guitar around a campfire. Who hasn’t?! 😀

Today, I feel fortunate to enjoy the immense talent and camaraderie of SoundCloud friends. So a song of thanks. Pretend we’re gathered around a campfire for a toast — Here’s to humans making music 🥂🍻 To the goosebump factory! as friend @TheBeautifulDark calls it  ✨🪄And to its afterglow! 🍾 🙏

Afterglow

Thank you very much for paying such close attention to my work and for taking the time to do so.
I am very grateful.Philosophical fear. 
Things that cannot be seen do not exist.
However, it seems that people's thoughts become reality.
Yes, your anxiety and suffering are reflected back at you like a mirror!
You already know this.
Look closely at yourself in the mirror!
Are you smiling? Are you secretly telling the mirror that you are the best?
The mirror reflects your thoughts and makes them a reality.
Are you ready? Don't just make a wish!  
Tell the mirror the image you desire!  
Yes, you are the best person!

Lots of subtle guitar layers on this.

A kaleidoscope sea,
waves folding into triangles and circles
as if the ocean had learned to play with blocks. 
Above, the sun unravels into bright shards, 
scattering like toys in the sky. 
It feels joyful, almost innocent. 
Yet every color carries a hush. 
Summer is only tidying up its games before slipping quietly away.

Dreams Ahead

||| Eternity |||
A darkwave / EBM track exploring the benefits of shadow work, being the process of exploring and integrating the unconscious parts of personality that may be repressed or rejected, often referred to as the "shadow self." This practice aims to increase self-awareness, heal emotional wounds, and promote personal growth by acknowledging and accepting all aspects of oneself, including those that are uncomfortable or hidden.

Open your mind to savage beats, pulsing synth bass and echoes in the abyss, while minimalistic spoken vocals guide you through the shadows.

lyrics
Fast falls the eventide
The darkness deepens...
There is no life
No life
Without its hunger
But then you come
And I am filled with wonder
Sometimes
I think
I glimpse eternity...
The darkness deepens
I glimpse eternity
In the silence
Until you come
I glimpse eternity
Until you come
In the silence
Until you come

Eternity

🌌Sensus🫀
Latin for feeling – is a journey into the subtle in-between where sound transforms into emotion. Layers of ambient textures intertwine with driving arpeggios and a pulsing sub-bass, while space and depth merge into a hypnotic whole. It captures both closeness and distance, a state between dream and reality. Music to be felt – not just heard.

Part 4 of the final track of Then She Reaches For The Gun's 2nd Album
released in Jan 2025 - nomatesensemble.bandcamp.com/album/i-am…m-with-you.

Then She Reaches for the Gun was formed in 2021 by Mat Ward. At its essence is sound collage, Ward invites musicians, sound artists, poets and anyone interested to send him files to be used, abused and showcased ‘as suggested by the work’. They are not always musical but field recordings, spoken word, engine noises and drunken rants. Animals participate a lot too! The raw material is arranged with one phrase asking for the next in an alchemical and intuitive process that will most often feature dozens of tracks weaving in and out of each other, colliding, harmonising, arguing and laughing along the way.

Both the aesthetic and the compositional methods use what Frank Zappa called Xenochrony - the mixing together of separately recorded and rhythmically opposing musical phrases to create polyrhythmic and polytempi compositions.The work also features fragmented story telling with the human voice (in many languages) appearing unannounced throughout the tracks offering up snippets of thoughts, conversations, jokes and existential angst. The absurdity of humanities desperate claim to have any real understanding of its place in the universe is revealed through the recorded follies and genuine emotions of the artists. The project is a celebration of chance, diversity and community. It pays homage to all musical tastes and genres whilst maintaining a sense of humour and irreverence that is needed to stay sane in the climate of 21st Century contemporary culture.

Take a chance,
And dare to hold my hand.
Steal a glance,
I might just look back.

Who will know
And who will dare to see
That you and I
Were simply meant to be
Were simply meant to be

Within reach,
I like to keep you close.
Speak to me,
Mellifluous prose.

Who will know
And who will dare to see
That you and I
Were simply meant to be
Were simply meant to be

Stay with me,
We’ve got the world to roam.
Where we’re gonna be,
With you it’s always home.

Take A Chance

Wanted to celebrate the last Wednesday of this week with a piano track. So I improvised a little bit on just a few chords. Imagine how great this track would have been with more chords and more than just 61 keys! Anyway I hope you like it.

Mostly I make ambient/melancholic electronic music. Or I play the piano. 
Sometimes there will be faster songs. And sporadically I will do something different. 

Thanks to everyone who takes time to listen to my tracks, or likes them, or reposts them... much appreciated <3
