Description : So my girlfriend had surgery today, but circumstances prevented me from being there with her... so i got up early this morning (her surgery was at 5 a.m.) and i put all my feelings into a song the best i could... try to imagine this: the very first part is when you're going under, then the operation starts... complications at 1:57, but then at 2:16 everything is fixed... 2:56 - the surgery is done, waking up from the anesthesia... at the very end is when you are being rolled out of the operating room in a wheelchair, everything all okay now, sun shining...
Reviews would be appreciated as I am stepping out of my comfort zone into this style of music.

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...
I hope everything went well with your girlfriend.
The track is beautiful, my friend. Thoroughly enjoyed listening to it and would happily do so many, many times.
A definite fav
John
Interesting and really beautiful song :)
Lot's of tension in it and quite emotional.
Keep on doing stuff like that :)
nice. great effects and samples, like it a lot
unfortunately my op wasnt as easy. i had complications and my 20 minute surgery ran for three hours and i had to be awoken and then local anesthetic so i felt and saw whole thing, then was back in for another 5 days with an infection....my soundtrack would sound more like a horror movie theme!!!
good work!
I listened twice so I could give a more accurate critique. I like parts of the track. I think the transitions should be more gradual and that each section of the track longer. As it is, it sort of jumps abruptly (in ambient terms). I love the heavily compressed slowed down snare sound near the start. I'm not a fan of the artist guiding us as to what the journey should be like. I think with ambient works u should let the listener decide/ imagine what the journey is about. The end part sounds great but is ridiculously short. That mood can be repeated for a long time before it would become boring. Check out Brian Eno Ambient 1.
