- Subliminal — ...With Friends Like These
-
- As mentioned in my previous blog entry, I have uploaded the individual tracks of With Friends Like These for others to remix. You can find VBR mp3 files here and a plethora of different file formats (like WAV and FLAC) here (where you can also find the full mix). I also want to use this opportunity to thank Steve and Edwin for their valuable and valued contributions. Their willingness to contribute to this song should not be taken for granted and deserves the highest gratitude. read more...

Although This side is now soooo painfully slow that it is no longer a real funny thing to upload something - here is a new song. Welcome to any visitor who wants to leave a comment about the music. This title features Sara England on vocals - she as well as myself have discovered what it means when you a re trying to build a "house of love" with the wrong person. That's what this song is about.

- Subliminal — Pigs In Hell
-
- After the rather easy June, July proved to be a more difficult piece to turn into something half-decent. And ofcourse I failed yet again. But what can one do, except hope for more luck the next time around. Anyway, 10 down and still 2 to go. I was hoping to finish the writing before september, which would mean that I would have been working on it for a year (well, more or less anyway), but the way things are going now I have serious doubts about making such a deadline. Not that it really matters. read more...

- Simon — Moving on with Trains!
-
-
Hi there!
As you know, I enjoy composing for my “Quest of the Heroes”-project immensely, but lately I’ve tried to compose pieces not connected to a specific story. Its absolutely great to compose more “freely” and let the music lead the way in different directions. Due to my lack of patience, I improvise a lot to get the pieces finished. I rush through my compositions leaving them with apparent flaws... But, I’m still fond of them and I will probably revisit and rework them some day!
And now, I've uploaded a new song again, made with no restrictions of a story but with inspiration from… …trains.
So this time, its a piece about trains. Trains? Why? Well... Why not!
As a kid I was fascinated by trains (along with Star Wars and dinosaurs, of course). I played with them, and I read about them. Now, thirty or so years later, I finally have the possibility to make music. So why not make a piece for trains? So this is my homeage to all the trains in the world!
I've got tons of ideas and I'm thinking about, someday in the future, expand the music into a longer and more worked-through piece, a kind of "Train Symphony". So this is a kind of a little test, like a demo for more music to see if the music holds up. Most parts are improvised but I'm really fond of the piece, especially the "happy moment" beginning at about 2:47 and when the main hammering motif returns at about 4:06. I think my arrangements improves as I keep on composing, learning more and more about my humble equipment (no, I don't even use midi yet), trying to get the most out of it. I've learned more how to cut pieces together in Cubase, to edit, fade in, fade out, cut, paste... And by putting small pieces together into a longer piece my computer holds up a lot better and I can use more sounds and instruments in my music.
I had such fun doing this piece anyway, the music coming straight from my heart. At first I thought about using military march drums, clashing cymbals and metallic sounds but I didn't find any good of these sounds in my keyboard, so I used hammering piano and a lot of pounding drums instead to drive the piece forward. And I'm quite happy how that turned out, the main "hammering" motif is distinctly "trainy" and instantly recognized. Like trains could go on forever, I could do variations on this "train music" forever. The piece uploaded is finished with a little coda, just for fun.
By the way, the "Nightmare Suite" is thrown out in favor of the trains, but can still be heard at www.myspace.con/quest oftheheroes
Regards
/Simon
