Today I released ‘Final Stand, the final track for my ‘Chimera‘ album which is finished now. ‘Final Stand’ is a piano and vocal based song: most of the instruments you hear are based on a piano (even the percussion!) althougs sometimes altered beyond recognition.

A magic song, mainly white but there also is a hint of black magic in the background where you can hear magic spells flying around.

A duet about a love story that’s over. He has broken up but regrets its, only now she doesn’t want him anymore. Spiced up with a nice sax solo, and a rather frantic, almost desperate, middle part with some latin influences in the drums.

I just released the song ‘Healing’ for my ‘Chimera‘ album. This song consists of two parts, of which the first part is much more in the ‘world’ than in the ‘ambient’ genre, it uses persian vocals and an important part is played by the arabian ‘Oud‘-instrument and the west african drums. The second part however is much more ambient with a softly spoken female voice-over, the drums in this part are mainly played at half-speed, giving a very nice effect.

I just released the song ‘Breaking Out’ for my ‘The Case Continues‘ album. Once again a kinda rock ballad, this time with (a little bit unusual for me) male vocals. Usually I prefer female vocals but this male vocal fits perfectly with this song. Also note the sax solos and the shimmering electric piano parts.

I just released ‘When The Bell Tolls’ for my ‘Chimera‘ album. This track once again contains female vocals in the ‘Sinhala‘ language, there are also lots of strings and even a violin solo. The general atmosphere is very calm although in the distance a retreating thunderstorm still can be heard.

Today I released the newest addition to my ‘The Case Continues‘ album. ‘New Emotions’ is as straight pop/rock song with lots of guitars and it reminds me a bit of Fleetwood Mac. This wasn’t intended as I started working on it but during the creative stage it became more or less apparent to me, the only thing I can say about this: there are worse examples ;-).

I just released the first three tracks for my new ‘Stories‘ album. The first track (‘Just a Fool’ ) is a pop/rock-ballad while the other two tracks (‘Fire’ and ‘Alone In The Desert’) both are more up-tempo and build around percussive acoustic guitars. All three tracks feature female vocals.

I just released the fourth song for my new album ‘Chimera‘. It’s called ‘Angels In The Sky’ and it was originally meant for a Cymatics contest but I decided not to send it in because 1. it did not adhere to the rules (because I used vocals) and 2. I had to use Instagram which is a no-go for me as it belongs tho the dreaded Meta-imperium.

The song itself consists of three parts, where the third part is more or less a repeat of the first part with vocals and other instruments added.

I just released the third track for my ‘Chimera‘ album. ‘Where Madness Dwells’ is a calm song with some bird-accompaniment throughout the whole track. It is mainly based on melodic percussion (sometimes reversed, e.g. the arpeggio in the last section), a few rather mangled guitars, some synths and a choir (on the background of the middle section).
