Description : Last time when I uploaded my track called "The Ring Of Saturn" many reviewers stated that it should belong under "ambient" category, since I tagged it as "cinematic"... so this led me to decision to give you the mother of all ambient pieces and here it is!:)Yet, it has something in common with the previous one....you won't need your sleeping pills... again..:)^^
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...
This is great m8! It sounds cinematic!
excellent
This is the type of cinematic track I can really use. It should allow me to interconnect scenes with the sustained flow of the music.
Thanks
(((y)))
Just LOVE it... amazing song, congrats
What a brilliant aural journey. Love the sounds you've conjured up here. Great atmosphere. Thanks for sharing fam. Simply brilliant.
Wau! Yes, we don't need pills when heard that nice, calm track. Don't stop, go on go higher. ;)
it is a beautiful, patient soundscape. you really do have your audience in mind with your work, Orlando. we can breathe, our thoughts transition gently as do the sections of your work. thanks a lot. very inspiring. Dan
Very nice and chilled out!
Love the ambient textures and soundscapes you've used, I am totally relaxed now :):):)
Very nice ambience chill out,love it:)
Thanks for sharing
have a nice Day, Destero
this actually got me day dreaming
Great.
Amazing ambient track.
Inspiration and relaxing
Good work
Paulo
Going to go on walks, meditate and fall asleep to this for a while. Just beautiful work.
very relaxing.
amazing track... very meditative. Love it
Well it should make me sleepy according to your description, yet it manages to keep my attention while putting the mind at an ease.
Think you did great on this Orlando ;)
Hey Orlando
Man this is beautiful, loving the flutes and strings in this very dreamy piece, tranquil and haunting feel about the piece, one of those piece's when it finishes you want to hit play again, reminds me of an artist I think from Japan call Kitaro, he makes this type of stunning ambient tunes, check him out and you will know what I mean, fairly sure spelt his name correctly, he is an extremely talented artist at this type of works, mate you should be extremely happy with this gem, of the nicest tunes played on the loop today and since being on the site...MASSIVE fav...will be back to check out more of your works in future that is for sure after hearing this one...Peace n much Respect...Thank you for sharing this amazing piece of work...Mosaic...
I guess I must have somehow missed this one. Not sure why.
Anyway, it's wonderfully gentle stuff, as everyone has already noted.
Years ago, I had a plan to make a proper ambient album but I love groove and always find myself doing groove-based stuff rather than just pieces like this that sit perfectly and need no groove.
Brian Eno has already been mentioned so I will just tell you something I heard him say in an interview a few years ago.
He spoke of having the aim of creating music that was like a painting. So, it would just sit beautifully and never really go anywhere. That's what this is like.
It could go on for a whole album (or more).
One day I'll sit down and properly do something like this.
Actually, I do have one rather nice ambient/cinematic track on here with no drums that may well interest you. But it doesn't sit quite like this and it has some more obvious changes.
Here it is:

ah yes...this is the kind of musical trip that makes you set aside less important things and remember that you are on a short journey on this little beautiful planet filled with many wonderful things that are there to be found by those who can let the noise and darkness of the self-interested minority and political power players fall aside...I listened to this a while back Orlando, but didn`t have the chance to leave a few comments...superbly done...Ed
Very nice! This is what I need on sunday with hangover! :)
Good pads, nice melody!
relax..
This really is beautiful. While of course it's very peaceful, there is something about it, I can't put my finger on it, but it hit's a soft spot I guess you could say. I like it very much, thank you.
Really cool piece Orlando! The atmosphere that it creates is very relaxing. It would be perfect for a movie or video game. This one's a Fav. Nice work.
This is super mellow. Those pads sound heavenly and soothing.
This kind of music can really fix your head if you've been having a rough day.
I think you've just fixed mine.
This is a very intelligent and well put together piece of music.
Tranquil and then some.
Cheers for chilling me out.

Hi Orlando,
Once again you have produced a track of quality, listened to this on this grotty wet UK Easter Sunday and you have swept all the gloom away with such a relaxing and sweet sound, this is ambient at its best. Everything is so well put together...AWESOME work Orlando.
Take care and very best wishes,
Mark/Larry!
Yup, this works for me and fits in ambient. Meditation and relaxation music. Very light and airy, soothing. Spiv mentioned "new age" music, I think of that when I hear music like this. It's really well put together and mixed. Great job!
Wayne
Orlando Wow now that was a journey I would love to stay on my friend as I feel so relaxed and what a floating feel it gave me, I didn't want to come back down to Earth.
Thank you for this wonderful work of art.
Faved and for sure I will be downloading too.
Steve
this track is better to listen before night time, just forget and throw away your everyday problems, say f.... off to your troubles and lay back and enjoy the mother of ambients! masterpiece!
handshake_Cyber
a beautifully balanced mixed, with rich sounds and melodic motion that come out so clearly. it is, like spivkurl says, a meditation, or a medication, and I am all for it. he has left his phase, you are entering, I have just discovered it! thanks for this beautiful piece.
Beautiful and sublime textured piece, would be my entry in the hitch-hikers guide to the galaxy to describe this work of art. Nice work my friend. To create emotions out of your Synths is an amazing feat!
Bonjour Orlando ....
Everything is designed here in an excellent manner.
You take us by the hand to lead us in your musical world .... It is a real pleasure to listen to you.
Quiet and majesty of harmonies.
Thank you to share this moment of great intensity ....
Dan
nice n thankz
hi again :)
i want to add this is nice just it sounds a bit monotonic like this only blend of some pads .
you may can add some piano or rhodes or especially lead guitar
to this .
ofcourse this is just my idea .
anyway thank you for these nice moments ..
Hello Orlando!
This is an interesting period in your artistic lifeline...I didn't know how to interpret your last song about 'The ring of Saturn' but this is a winner one...I think the 'bigger heads' than me could easily describe that, this as a classical ambient...nice use of those vsts and the whole track is just like we slowed down our life and stepped out from this chaos for 5 minutes...dreamy, moody, calm, relaxing artwork...
Hats off, hope all is well homie...at summer we go to that marvellous country for sure...we have the hotel booking...
:-) :-) .-)
Danke
nice and calm journey !
i loved atmospher of this .
relaxation .......... thank you for this trip .... beautiful universe on your page.
Dina
Thank you for the experience!
one thing...
Amazing!
First off, I'm getting way past my ambient listening phase, but at the same time, I had to be the first one to review your new piece! This really takes me back to my childhood in the way that it was the era of "new age" music, that's definitely what this genre feels like to me. Music for meditation and the like, maybe even medication. Your sound design is perfect, and the mix is subtle. The guitar sounding melodic elements sound really nice and not too overpowering. A fine creation here my friend, thanks for the good listen!
