In a world full of technology, there is a place that crowns in the center with technology all over the place to defend this technology to be stolen by bad guys. With all technical bells and whistles, this is a perfect man-made machine-fortress.

You arrive home at night, finding a stranger that looks exactly like you. You sneak in and chase the imposter out of your house. Will you ever find peace again?

Exporting went bad the first time, so it is a late entry now :(

Sadly, this time around I wasn't able to orchestrate the idea properly, and extend on it, but here you get the raw idea I had in mind, without any bells and whistles (no pun intended :-)

This is actually the title track of my new album. I figured it would be lame if I'd submit a regular entry for this round, so I'm sharing this with you instead hope you enjoy :)

*** This week I joined forces with pianist Andreas Svarc from my label asmemusic.com to do this compo ***

Being all lonely leads to all those depressive thoughts, but as you go out for a walk and see the beautiful nature around you start getting more comfortable and regaining hope. Maybe not all is lost yet.

Since I'm right in the middle of changing my studio setup, my equipment didn't work good enough to do something better or longer... I had tons of audio problems, sorry :/

Anyway, I hope you enjoy it nonetheless :)

Deep below the earth surface inside the Forgotten Temple lies the treasure you've been looking for. Is it gold? Silver? Diamonds? Maybe the Gemstone of Musical Awesomness? Who knows? :-)

As you challenge a few of your companions to a race through space you are about to find out who will be able to maneuver their spacecraft on the best route through the asteroid belt without being hit. Don't forget to slow down there, as it's a dangerous, forbidden route! Will you be able to make it and emerge victorious?

Daylight Saving Times FTW!!! Again, I showed up one hour too late and again I got only a few minutes for composing. So here are a few ideas in their raw uncooked form, maybe it's interesting for some of you to have a kinda "backstage" view at me working here :) Well, there's always a next round!

Nature's Beauty

Wide open fields, beautiful forests, crystal clear lakes and fields of colorful flowers. You find yourself surrounded by nature's beauty. Carefully, you take your steps through this wonderland, gently smiling to yourself.

A Beautiful Outlook

Gazing into the setting sun, you have a warm feeling like you could embrace the whole world. You feel one with the nature and huge expand of trees and foliage before you and fully enjoy this moment until the last rays of sunlight stray over the mountain tops in the distant haze.

A mysterious secret can be much less mysterious once revealed or even more so :-)

Crash right at the beginning made me lose my entire first 15 minutes of work, making me rush the last part and melody, so sorry for that sloppiness -

A Strange Place

You have never been here before. Feeling a bit uneasy because of this, you slowly begin to realize that you might just not be used to this place and only time can tell if you will ever grow to this place.

Everything in Shambles

As you return to your hometown after hearing that a huge storm has devastated most of the surrounding vicinity, you walk up the road to your house to see nothing left but devastation...

Tripping Snow

At first you thought you'd have a fun trip in the mountains with the calm sunny weather and gentle snow falling, but soon this trip turned out to be an incredibly bad idea...

A totally new experience!

Sadly, my DAW crashed on me tonight and I was not able to finish this off with a nice melody variation, solo and proper ending as I planned.

Even behind the seemingly brightest and most cheerful of all personalities there lie deep and dark secrets better left untold.

Drifting into the Blue

posted in OHC132 on Apr 21, 2011
play_arrow
Surrounded by the wide ocean, nothing else in sight except a huge plane of water stretching from one end of the horizon to the other, you cling to the wooden logs of the lonely raft you are on. The accident of your ship when the storm hit is already days ago and you still remember it vividly. Drifting along the blue surface of water you hope that you will finally be able to set foot on land again, but you notice that you are already pretty weak from starvation. Will you ever be able to see your loved ones again?

Blue Haze

There are a lot of things to discover while underwater, lots of interesting plants and animals, and lots of shades of blue and green. Flickering rays of sunlight through the rippling surface paint shadows on the ocean floor like a kaleidoscope. In the distance you can only see a hazy blue blur.

A Moment of Peace

It is a gusty day, and you spend your day at home, finding yourself surrounded by storms, until you realize that you are actually inside the storm's eye. There is a moment of calm and peace which you really enjoy, but this short break from the strong winds is soon over and you realize that the storm isn't over yet.

Epic Meteor Disaster

A huge meteor is going down on earth. It is already too late to counteract, so this huge disaster is going to destroy the whole planet. The only hope of humanity lies within the earth's atmosphere itself, which might be able to burn and shrink the meteor down in size while it is falling. Is everything lost already, or is there still hope?

Subspace Nebula

Gliding through space and getting slowly sucked into subspace, you encounter a lot of unimaginable things you have never encountered in your life. It is a mystical new world of unbelievable impressions and experiences no one has ever seen before.

Imagine a futuristic race that takes place at hypersonic speeds. Probably you're going to regret taking part because it's dangerous as hell, but it's very challenging and fun on the other hand :P

Over the Sea of Clouds

Soaring high above the clouds, high above everything you know, and into the seemingly endless skies, you feel the sensation of total freedom, without any borders or boundaries. The gentle evening wind in your face, enjoying what you see, you continue soaring through the night skies.

No Way Back

You realize that you have to leave everyone you know behind and that you will probably never return to see all the people. You didn't think of it like this beforehand, and you start to miss those who are dear to you. Taking a glimpse of a picture of your children you relive those beautiful moments you treasure so much, but only to realize that you will never be able to see them again. You continue your journey, and realize that things can't be changed and time can't be turned back.

Blackout in the Factory Basement

You are by yourself in the deep basement of a factory when suddenly all the lights go out and you are left alone in the pitch black. Slowly the machinery around you comes to a halt and the grating of the gears gives off eerie noises while stopping. Now you are on your own to find your way out and back into the light. On your journey to the upper floors you encounter many unfamiliar things. Will you be able to make it?

Changing Places

Sometimes there is a need to change places, be it because something really sad happened to you which weighs heavily on you and you can't let go of it anymore or be it that you just wish to explore and see different places. This change can be dramatic or it can be subtle and slowly.

Layers of Earth

On a journey very deep into the earth you discover lots and lots of different things on your way down. You pass a lot of different layers of dirt, rock and indescribable things as it gets warmer and darker on your way down. Things keep changing until you reach the center and the tech vehicle you use to get that low gives you a smooth ride which you deeply enjoy.

Vented Anger

You have stored a lot of anger over time, and all of a sudden you realize it's too late, you have to break something ...or someone. You run around and uncontrollably hit about everything in your sight...

You had this feeling the whole time along. You are not wanted in there. You feel like the others do everything to make you feel uneasy just thinking about the day of election.

You decide that you have worked on the good side for way too long and you realized that the good guys aren't always the good guys they pretend to be. You no longer want to serve these people who you found out have betrayed you and nearly destroyed life on your home world. It's time to change sides and to no longer be Mr. Nice Guy!

Relaxing Fishing Trip

You set out on a fishing trip on a boat all alone. The sun shines and the lake and its surrounding are really peaceful and calm, you only hear a few birds and the water rippling. After you caught a few fishes you take a nap for a while, still drifting in your boat...

I ran out of time in the end and had to rush the drums, so sorry for the slight off-time at places...

To the Dark Side

You have lost it all. Your life is meaningless, and anger builds up inside you. A numb feeling starts spreading throughout your head, an unbearable feeling, like static noise. It gets stronger and stronger and eventually takes total control over you. Now you leave everything behind you and don't care about others or moral anymore. The dark side has taken over.

A calm rainy day outside, you see raindrops all over the leaves and flower petals. You smell the fresh air after the rain. It feels kinda sad, kinda refreshing, and a bit of gray. That's what I had in mind when I wrote this. I kinda messed up the ending, though... Ran out of time :P
