Musician, composer, songwriter, producer from Southwest Germany.
I mainly do instrumental music, but I won't limit myself to one genre. The current musical thread in my tracks is electronic ambient folk. But if you listen to my whole body of work here, on soundcloud or on spotify, you will see that my taste and style are quite eclectic. So pick the tracks you like and enjoy them

Well I felt I should bring together what belongs together. So I made a one track version of this longplayer. I hope you'll enjoy it as much as I did working on it. If you give it half an hour of your lifetime, let me know what the experience was like and what you liked best or what you would change, add, or bring to it for a collaboration. I intend to get onto something similar, maybe something less "folksy" but more contempory ... anyway. LISTEN.ENJOY.LIKE.

@Juozas Kimtys that's a musicians dream ... always find something new when you listen again and again ... thanks so much for even listening once

Thoughts after first listening - else one version of wonderful “relax” music mix - colors of keys from Carlos Santana albums, parts of Mike Oldfield Tubular Bells and memories of “epic” movies soundtracks. But, during next listening, I have found how nicely these colors adopted to original melodies of the piece, how perfectly all things connected together, found huge quantity of original perfect small pieces. I have to listen that music third time immediately.

... and of course they are a reference to the Maestro's "Amarok" ... the guitar sound is, as I referred already to on No Wise Man Ever Dares Project Classical and Spanish guitars both solo and arpeggio are Iljya Effimov (heavily played with midi switches here), Strumming guitars are NI Session Guitarist or RealLPC + Guitar Rig5 E-guitars are thanks to @ROLI different Equator presets that I modified to my taste and added NI Guitar Rig5 for amp sounds. Bass guitar is classic NI Komplete Bass.

@Druidh Dhubh thank you, thank you, thank you ... yeah I liked that kind of atmospheric sound of those water splashes and ripples and those unintelligible whispers I added after formulating the basic idea of someone entering kind of a witches lair or cave ...funny the pictures you get stuck with when listening to music
Druidh Dhubh7 years ago
Great guitar sounds as well

I love the voices too, especially from halfway onwards. The sploshing water is a nice touch too. The whole thing is really cinematic.

I'll certainly pass on your regards Markus! Good luck with Mr Oldfield. But seriously well done on this; it's a proper achievement!
Druidh Dhubh7 years ago
A masterpiece.

@Monochrome Echo thanks for the "WOW" yeah it took a while and at least two little themes date back almost 25 years (never throw away a midi file). Actually the whole thing came together pretty well in about 12 weeks ... but the worst part was the mixing of so many instruments playing at once, took about a 3rd of the time. (and still not satisfied in some parts) Man I'm glad you like it as a professional, though I am not too pleased with some of the bass lines, especially the first e-bass. You play for Maggie Reilly, I'm impressed as well - wow. Next time you meet her, point her to the site and make her listen ... just kidding, just give her a big thanks for countless hours of listening to that crystal clear voice ... liked her later work too, especially "Lucy" and "Fifth moon". Speaking of funny things ... I actually sent it to Mr. Oldfield via his private Facebook Group. Who knows, he might listen a few seconds and offer a collaboration ... I should activate PULL. :-))

Wow @Markus Adams! Mike Oldfield would be proud! I actually play bass for Maggie Reilly so I know quite a lot of his stuff. You've definitely captured that celtic vibe too. Love the voices further in. Great work! This must've taken you forever!! Big respect ;)

I'm going to pour a glass of whiskey, sit in the garden, watch the sunset, and listen to it later.
