As the minutes pass, so does the warmth lent to us by the sun. Each passing minute the skies grow a bit darker and our bodies colder. Soon, the horizon is nothing but a smooth pastel pink, until blue wins and the light disappears completely.

Funny how strongly the color palette of these images really cues me into thinking of this sort of music.

As I make more of these chill downtempo songs I'm beginning to realize that I have begun to form a distinct style of writing them that's a little different to what I hear elsewhere. It's still relaxing, but it has a little more motion in it. Like the ocean tide, it slowly ebbs and flows, rather than remaining at rest. There is a destination in each song, even if it takes its time with getting there.

Come, close your eyes, and let me show you to a new place.

Silky purple stretches on as far as all of existence

[verse]

It's there when I'm sittin', goes when I've arisen

It's with me through and through

What have I been missin', when waters that glisten

Have made me calm, there it soothes

It's up and it's down then. The light is reboundin'

It warms me right to the heart

So down by the dock side, there's never a dark time

The sun and the other stars

[chorus]

Like mother nature reaching from the clouds to touch the Earth

An otherworldly force has taken hold of me

It starts just where it halts and then it comes right back again

It simply coils upon itself, and all you see

[verse]

I ponder my spirit, if someone could hear it

If my soul could make a call

And if the lake bed, my essence is naked

My core is exposed to all

I remembered the DST for once! Woo!

It may or may not be loud depending on taste. It sounds ok on my end, but my perception of loudness is not the same as yours so....

This track relies on 2 chord progressions, the first being the main one, whilst the 2nd is a sort of a passing progression. Nothing changes throughout, apart from an consistent increase in dynamics, whilst new stuff is added. We start with the chords (Which is 2 pad layers, strings and a choir), and then a melody, and then arps, and then finally a beat and bassline. It's very cool in terms of structure, but it could be perceived as boring by some. All i can say is, that i used my OHC to make this, so enjoy!

Sunset falls, all is peaceful.

Performed live, one take, synths and stuff running on the looped sequencer.

On the green hills

On our violet hill

Back in the time when what we had was simple and pure

On the green hills we shared our thoughts and dreams

I thought about what could have been if I had a braver heart

I didn’t want to know the pain of us being apart

I watched the sun rise

(And then I let it set)

When you went away

A violet shade full of regret

When I think back 

(about the smile on your face)

I let it get away,

I let us get away

My world is bathed in facets

Of alexandrite light.

Violet and green

My world is bathed In facets

Of alexandrite night

As the sun sets

I was the one who was truly green

I'm back! Made something cute and simple. Might use it as menu music for a game I'm working on.

Rise up stumble out

Shuffle to the pantry

Pour the Rice Krispies

Clink on the TV

What is on today?

Some people died faraway

I don’t care it doesn’t effect me

That sun comes up the same

This got away from me big time, but I think I did a thing.
