Some very dark synths and a forlorn lead guitar create an anthem for those lost in the dark.

Turn off the lights, and listen to the darkness. Enjoy the rapture.

=================

Here's an old poem of mine you can read when you turn on the light...

BLACK ON THE OUTSIDE

Walk in shade, and shun the light.

So dark inside, so cold inside.

The ice has touched my heart tonight.

They don't have to be pretty to burn your hide.

Dress in the colour of the night.

Solitary wraith adrift on her tide.

The lunar pull too deep to fight, (so hard)

My sickly one, my cool pale bride.

Powerful and distant, the Raven Queen is in command. Her apparent coolness hides her fierce passion for that power.

The two lead guitar tracks were created using ThumbJam, one with AmpKit. The rest of the music was created using BlocsWave.

This track is about hope for the future - hope for the future of humanity, and hope for the future of our beautiful planet and all the livings things here.

Initially I laid down a drummer track, designed to build as the track progresses. Then I added most of the synths, all played manually in Logic Pro X. Then I added the progressive rock bass guitar, lead guitar, and some acoustic guitar to lead the track in gently - all played manually in Logic Pro X. Then I added some final synth touches.

I hope you like it.

The image is a view of the Milky Way galaxy, our galaxy, to remind us of where we actually live. We already live in space. In Australia we are lucky that our planet is tilted such that we get great views of the Milky Way in the outback, looking into the centre of the galaxy.

If you haven't seen the British gangster movie "Sexy Beast" with Ben Kingsley, Ian McShane and Ray Winstone...it is a classic - violent, with plenty of offensive language...but darkly funny. Watch it.

The scene that inspired this track is when Ray Winstone's character Gal is sunbathing by the pool:

"Oh yeah. Bloody hell. I'm sweating in here. Roasting. Boiling. Baking. Sweltering. You could fry an egg on my stomach."

A fun mix of Middle Eastern traditional instruments and Western clubbing sounds.

One of my Apple loop compositions, with a couple of manually played synths.

This track is inspired by H.P. Lovecraft's strange Mi-Go, intelligent large insect creatures from Yuggoth. Also a source of inspiration is the artwork for Yuggoth from Fantasy Flight Games(2010).

This is purely a fan-based piece of music, not for profit. It's intended for gamers and role-players exploring Yuggoth or related worlds, or anyone who simply enjoys dark ambient soundtracks.

Mostly composed using Apple loops, with a couple of manually played Logic Pro X synths for a bit of fun.

A long track in which I tried to capture that sense of awe and humility that the natural world can give us.

There is only now.

Feeling chilled, thinking about the 70s...
