Description : This piece of music is still in some kind of development phase and yet rounded just enough to share it here for the first try and to maybe pick some useful comments and advice. Just don't make a suicide after the first listen, boys and girls, cause it's so sad, sad, sad....:)
Description : Headphones are recommended for a more immersive experience :P - - - A weary American soldier is walking through the remains of what used to be a small town in the middle east, only to rediscover the horrible reality that sometimes war can affect even the ones who have no part in it.

Description : Guys, I have been asked again to do another track for another friend's son.
He has asked me to do the track with an eighties heavy ascent.
I have come up with this I hope you all like it.
Description : This is for my friend Danke who can't sleep at night. Yes, heat, heat...I guess Africa is hotter, but don't let the title and intro as well, deceive you! This is not African music nor the imitation of it. It's just a picture of starry African sky at night, painted with my european musical sensibilities and some imagination. So this is for Danke in the first place and then maybe for anyone who would like to fall asleep.:)...
Good night!:)
Description : Dear Loopers...Let Ed and me take you to the world of yet another musical fantasy born out of our latest collab efforts. Ed provided basic structure of the track with ever solid rhythm section, tasty synths and vocal pads while I took
on a role of pretending to be multi-instrumentalist again by smuggling in some sweet strings, bulgarian flute, celtic harp,
unexpectedly blurry piano and this time a tiny bit of real live acoustic guitar...what an adventure for a vst/keyboard guy..:) As always
my sincere thanks to Ed not only for letting me enjoy his great musical company but also for still standing as one of the firm pillars of Looperman society !
Description : Un tema sencillo, suave. Espero que les guste.
Description : I just painted a picture of abandoned sanctuary and I thought it could sound like this...:)
Description : I went to the beach and set up my stereo recording mic under a gazebo near it (I apologize for some of the air gusts being recorded haha; we had a strong SE wind that day :P Tried my best to place it out of the wind); wanted to record myself playing live and do some cheesy roleplay in the process - wanted to make it feel like the listener was sitting there beside me. ** This is what the beach looks like: http://static.travel.usnews.com/images/destinations/80/south_padre_island_main.jpg **
Lo and behold, I'm about halfway through the song when my buddy Mark, a friend from college, heard me singing and decided to join me (he seems to never part with his guitar lol).
The expression on his face was that of confusion as to why I had my mic with me and a audio-capturing device, which I plugged into an outdoor electrical plug that the gazebo owners installed lol (I've done recordings like this before but didn't like the results; we messed up a little at the end but I was like meh it's not bad anyways.) but I'm glad he didn't say it out loud or it would have ruined the recording lol. Luckily, I was playing a song he and I wrote together some time ago, so he was able to just jump right in. He's a great guitar player.
Even though it was a little awkward at the end since we hadn't seen each other for like 4 months (you might be able to tell by the way I responded to his "thats so cool" comment haha), I think it turned out just fine. It was a lovely evening and the clouds were all poofy and happy. Lots of people were there too, though I made sure to sit far away from all of them. Ahh, it was a beautiful day. I'm glad I live by the ocean :P * Just kidding, I recorded this in my studio; though I do live close to the water, this was not recorded there :P I did everything, down to the wind blowing into the mic, except for the sound of water and the kids in the background. I got those sounds here: freesfx.co.uk/login/
The guitars and vocals were one-takes to give a more realistic feel. No pitch-correction or autotune. Just wanted to try making another soundscape (or whatever you want to call this :P) about what it's like to live by the ocean.
Description : the other end of the scale from me, yep people, this is a ballad. its for all the people who have lost somebody long before their time was due,
i used my experience of tragic loss and how i hid my mental health issues that stemmed from it while writing it, its repetitive but has fresh verses
its to Matthias music Du Bist Nicht Mehr Hier almost the same title, He has suffered too that's why he wrote the music and dedicated it to his brother. i hope i have done it justice

Description : Guys, I've Just looked at my old music archives and thought to bring some of them out for you guys to listen to.
I've made this track in loving memory of my dear brother who sadly died of cancer. He was my rock, my confidant I am already missing him.
I hope you enjoy it if you do then please leave me a comment.

Description : Glen Cloy is one of the glens of Antrim (Tumbleweed's county) in Northern Ireland. The little people, actualy fairies, populate all of them and they all have very old ghost stories that have been told for centuries (and still are)...This one is about Shaman of old and his journeys through the spiritual world...That sums up what Ed told me about the concept for our 7th (how convenient^^) collab work. The main core of the track is Ed's work and the original length was 5:18, but I wouldn't have been Orlando if I didn't tempt to compose my longest intro to date (3:10) to inject my own fantasies about little creatures of Glen Cloy (soft spot for spiritual world..hehe..). Other than that I also added some synths arrangements and vocal samples for the rest of the track and probably ruined it a bit..haha..but that's how collabs are sometimes..:)^^.....All my thanks to Ed...and Irish ghosts ofcourse...
That was very sweet and sombre :D
Absolutely AWESOME!! Moving and inspiring!!
gosh i'm sitting here wanting for you to go to the chord progression, and keep the guitar as the front voice and the violin as the answering melody. You're driving me nuts.
Hey friend
What a beautiful song, so soothing so relaxing, so enjoyable to listen too it, nothing more I could add here that others have already said it before myself...MASSIVE fav man...Stunning work...Made my day for me hearing this amazing piece...Peace n Respect...Mosaic...
Hi, this is a very nice track, congratulations to the creator
yes, very powerful this same time subtle, nice, I just listened 3 times, now that I comment I download and listen many many more times..
hello, nice approach ...... nice trip!
Dina
Haunting....very nice.
tv
No words to describe...
I can imagine a story through this composition, while touching these cellos.
surely you went far beyond with this composition..
that feeling!!!
sorry english.
Hi Orlando!
This tune is extremely beautiful! How come I haven't heard it before, I must have been sleeping...
Very cinematic as many have said already. Enjoyed this a lot!
Take care/
SJ =)
Another great track Orlando! It has a very chilling vibe to it. I can totally see this piece of art carry a scene in a movie or tv. The mix sounds good too. Nice work.
great use of music as a tool to create a mood.
a story unfolded before my inner eye. as i am listening there is nothing more i could wish for in this moment. i enjoy when music takes me to imaginary places or constructs of the memory.
it's well put together and a feast for the auditory cortex as it stands. to me this sounds ready to be put in a film or game, excellent work.
Very nice piece of music
definitely interesting work. I think that guitar and violin both need some ambience effects (most of all guitars, which are very "dry" in the mix and doesn't blend very well), but there's a lot of potential here.
This track is Gorgeous!!!!
very nice mate :)
Steve
beautiful - I hear soundtrack potential
really good track!
the synths in the song are awesome....
nicely done
i love it
This was very thought provoking,yet a beautiful piece of music!
Very cinematic,and very sombre but quite beautiful too
great work!
Orlando, this was awesome the strings were awesome it kind of rang in my head (and I mean that in a good way) I agree with larrywiggles you should throw some keys in there good shit though!
this is very awsome music i think,...good job friends..
sehr schn gelungen ... danke fr diesen song
Once I had a trip to Venice...3 people at a backstreet's corner played a same beautiful music...we stood there than set down for an hour or so...can't let us the music leave...
Yours is the same, sometimes I have to come back and enjoy it...fabulous...
Your fan, Danke
Very good and appealing ambient music, love it!
Nice work bye the way!...but it's not sad to me, maybe slightly melancholy, but in a reflective way. It's a thinking ambient song...a piece that will spark new ideas. Love the oboe (English Horn)like sounds. Songs like this or like Music from Roxy Music and Brian Eno have always peaked my musical sensibilities. It's not Destructive but Reflective.
Steve
I dunno about what to say about this one... Maybe it's all done already? What's more to add to it? This one brings me into a fantasy land, I think I am down at the harbour but at the next time I'm in the shadows deep down the forrest. This might be one of my fuzzy best comments ever :)
Anyway, good work!
Cheers, Anders
Really Beautiful Song. I Can't really tell what it is, But its layered beautifully. Im not sure as to as if anyone could possibly sing on it. but maybe a few harmonic hums or humming for sure. I really don't know what this genre is, but Im really into this trippy strange type beats, I actually primarily use alotta instruments with these types of vibes in All of my hip hop beats. There's always a trippy pad or sound in my tracks playing in the background throughout the song. this believe it or not, or whether or not its even finished. is a Favorite for sure.
Spacey and very ambient indeed. Nice piece of work for something still in development. This would be a nice back drop in a romance or something. Great work. peace

Hi Orlando...I downloaded your tack...dont really think it needs anything but I will see if I can put together a few nylon string guitar lines for you...will use your contact for info...Ed
This is soooo beautiful....very moving pice of music
!!!!!
a new brilianT from recently dicovered phenomenal musician of looperman , thoughtfull , and sad , deep & impressive .U even can add few single considered guitar note to this buT for sure U know better about yourself composition .Orlando if U cancel download ,& if U were minded , I can tell one of my singer friends in another station whom I know she probably would love this composition to have an attempT on & then U know & that singer if U want to work together or noT & .she was looking for a such music & I'm so busy to do that & maybe in this way can be a usefull colleague for U both .
tell me if U were minded ,best wishes.___Behnam
This is lovely, yes very calm, and also thought provoking. I like it.
Funny thing...but music that many would find sad I just find to be beautiful and touching...like this one...the strings can really add that sense of sadness (cello in particular)...but the pads are a rich contrast..it a very minimal mix again Orlando (and I like that idea) so there are many options if you decide to add to it...some have already been mentioned...but I am of course biased...so perhaps a few sparcely played classical/nylon string guitar lines would fit without detracting from the other sounds...In any case I like it as it is now...It is really well done...with thoughtfulness and talent...Ed
I liked this
it was soothing and calm and well nice :D
Suicide?
Man, it's one of the biggest artwork right here...we have to get our hats off, cause this is pure talent...
Outstanding, independent work...
Regards, Danke
Actually it does fit for ambient in my opinion. The way you are using the strings add a conversation with the space of that pad of timeless time. Each instrument of the layering order working great for this idea and I like it. I wonder what you would add next after what is playing so far, something new for me and thank you for allowing us to take a listen. It is sad but graceful. You have some outstanding ideas. Peace.
really nice for the fist take, haunting strings. maybe some light percussion variations, some deeper pads and a some piano keys might help, but it was good listening.
best wishes Mark
