Description : I'm in the process of getting an aerospace engineering degree (hope I graduate...). One of the terms we use in fluids to describe still air (or any other fluid) is "quiescent." I wrote this nearly a year ago after going on a hot air balloon ride (see profile picture). Since the balloon moves with the air currents, in the reference frame of the rider, you're in completely still air. It's wild.

I wrote it in FL8. I wrote the drum part myself with some of the samples it came with. FL Keys for the piano, a 3xOsc with a formula controlled phaser for the lead, and a Sytrus voice for the bass. It's a very calm piece I just remembered about while looking for another one of my older tracks.

Downloaded! I'm hoping you'll appreciate when I say this piece reminds me so much of the music that used to play in Tomorrowland at Disney World (Behind the Waterfall by David Lanz, Bubble Shuffle by Larry Carlton, etc.). Your style reminds me of Suzanne Ciani in particular. Listened to several of your tracks and this is one of my favorites.

This is actually one of my favorite tracks as well. The animated filters just kinda worked, and I made a few good drum loops for once. I wish I could remember what my process was like when I wrote this one.

I'm not familiar with Suzanne Ciani, nor have I ever been to Disney World (despite having been to Universal Orlando six or seven times and Sea World Orlando three or four). I'll try to find some Larry Carlton, Suzanne Ciani, and David Lanz and see what I think.

Anyway... thanks for the kind words.

I have to admit, I've never heard of Laser Dance. I was a youngun in the early 90s, and I mostly listened to Christian rock when I had music on.

I appreciate the compliment. Thanks for the review.

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.

Description : Do the Gods like music?

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.
