Listen To A Distant Loss Ambient Song By AnthonyAttard | Looperman

Description : It was the flooding from Hurricane Katrina in New Orleans and Mississippi, that motivated me to make this song. It was a huge loss in life, August 29, 2005. The heart of jazz and blues suffered a terrible situation with almost 1500 deaths.
The song is as old as the incidence. Consider it a true reaction to something sad, so distant yet so close.

Hello Fanis
I had to dig into my hard disks to spot the song but when I listened to it I had the impression of a contemporary work so I am glad to know you liked it. Yes I remember those days, it was intense and as usual unfair..
Much love brother!

This piece carries so much weight-knowing it was inspired by the tragedy of Hurricane Katrina gives it even deeper meaning. The emotion in the music truly captures that sense of loss and resilience. Its a powerful tribute to a moment in history that still feels close, even after all these years. For those of us who only witnessed it on TV, the sound still manages to convey the gravity of it all. Beautifully done.

Hello Richard
Thank you once more for your time to listen and comment on my music. Undoubtedly there have been lots of other catastrophes and was, sorrow is something we don't lack in this world. It just happened and I made this song for the losses in that particular place of the world. I am more than content that you felt emotional gravity in it.
Best wishes, Anthony

Thank you Glenn,
Thank you so much for your listen and your comment.
I am trully flattered to know you consider it a tribute (I was really thinking of using this word, but then hasitated ). Music is one of my life tools of expression. Inner and deeper thoughts become alive with music. It is my way and of course your way and the way of many people on LM, and this is wonderful.
Greetings from Greece, Anthony

A very moving piece - it conveys that incredulous disbelief of how a situation can change so quickly and dramatically - brings home the preciousness of life - beautiful music with real soul depth

Thank you so much for your comment, means a lot to me. Yes, it was a sudden and dramatical situation Kay, you could feel by the images the despair and the loss. Like a war from nature.
Best regards, Anthony

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

He was a simple man. A high school teacher; wife, kids. He never thought in all his life that he'd end up alone in the middle of the Apocalypse, his family dead, doing his best to survive against all odds. The zombies have grown hungrier. More agressive. They have him trapped. There's nothing he can do now.

Description : I intentionally made this song minimalistic. The drums I spliced together from some drum loops I had, there's one other loop in the mix, the rest of the instruments are played by me (bass and synths). I used the excellent (and free) Cakewalk z3ta+ vst and the BBC Symphony vst. My intention was to create a very simple and dream like ambient track. Feel free to download or comment. Feedback is always welcome. Thanks.

What do they listen to when they are creating the fabrics of Space and Time?

Questions that can maybe never be answered but only imagined. More tones and drones from the outskirts of the universe and Neomorpheus.
