Listen To A Distant Loss Ambient Song By AnthonyAttard At Looperman.com

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.

You're right! Overcoming strokes of fate is never easy. When you've lost your entire existence and are standing among the rubble, it feels almost like a miracle to get back to where you once were before the catastrophe.

But what I also wanted to say about your song is this: I like it so much becauseunlike your previous onethis piece really shows your roots again. Im sure you remember my comment about your last song.

This one fits perfectly into your meta-work!

Warm regards, Manuela

A truly wonderful and emotive production that, in its structure, brings to life both the tragedy and the courage to move forward through music. Truly grand musical cinemaif I may put it that way. Well done! Best regards, Manuela.

Hello Manuela
You always find those words that matter so much. To find the courage to move on, is the main thought after the deep grief for the losses. And music is present, as it has been, a way of living.
Thank you for your thoughtful comment, it is greatly appreciated. Life goes on, finds its ways. It is already twenty years, kids are grown up and in other cases the elderly age has come, this is the circle and I think this is what I carry in my music, along with my love for Greece, where I live my circle.
I am so glad you liked it.
Warm regards, Anthony

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

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 : Depression and sadness can sometimes serve as motivation for creativity as in the case of this track. A few months back I went through a period of loosing a few friends and co-workers. Attended a few funerals and as a result found myself reflecting on life. One night I had the urge to try to transfer my feelings into music and this is what came out. Some baratone guitar accompanied by synth and accapella.
Final EDIT: Further tweaking on levels and a slight change up in the timimg of the choir section.

Description : Hello,
this is a track between composition and cover.
Amandine (Sova Berry or Dine on soundcloud) made a cover of the a cappella "Song of Sophia" by Dead Can Dance.
I liked it very much, so i decided to make an instrumental with her vocals.
Hope you'll like it and if you want to comment, you are welcome, whatever you think.
Bye
