compositions

Temple Of The Morning Star (March 2016)
115 bpm / film score epical asian buddhist chants

“temple of the morning star” was composed for BattleBards (California, USA) as music score for a fantasy game, illustrating an ancient Buddhist monk monastery – a place of tranquillity and incredible power, a center where for thousands of years, men and women have honed their bodies and minds to transcend the physical world. It is here where a fantasy gaming monk learns the inner secrets of life and the universe, giving them otherworldly abilities.
The track is a fusion of classic epic fantasy composition, with a tone of spirituality proportioned by Buddhist monk chantings and a versatile instrumentation of Asian influence.





Aeons (Of Times Untold) (March 2016)
110 bpm / film score epical mystic drama choirs

“aeons (of times untold)” was composed for BattleBards (California, USA) as music score for an adventure game, used during the climax of the story at the end of an incredible quest where the major bad guy awaits the player in an ancient vast chamber. A tomb of times long forgotten, holding a profound connection to deep magic and harboring colossal sleeping guardians set to watch over a power that mortals are not meant to disturb. A place of power, reminiscent of a catacomb where a great awakening is to take place using forbidden rituals. There is a stillness in the air, one that betrays the profound significance this chamber represents.
The overall mood of this score is epic, mysterious; fantasy, with an undertone of discovery, grandness and yet with a tinge of darkness and profound drama, which in the end unveil a notion of hopefulness.





Borregos Conspirão feat. Fokko Wolkenstein (vocals) (December 2015)
105 bpm / independent, electronic rock, alternative
A powerful independent rock track with electronic tints, counting with the vocal collaboration of the great Berlin resident duo “FokkoWolkenstein” at the chorus. Energetic and straight forward, using a few movie-like spoken samples in crucial moments of the song.
Say Hello, sheep! Enjoy the conspiracy and don´t forget to listen to the Spanish version.




La Grand Cité (December 2015) 
100 bpm / film score epical  fantasy

"la grand cité" was composed for BattleBards (California, USA) as score major theme to illustrate "The Great City", the main city of a fictional world for a table-top game. A sprawling metropolis in a medieval fantasy world infused with magic and exotic races. This city is the shining jewel of the continent, acting as the cornerstone for military power, magical study, and religious authority. The piece is to be played when the listeners (players) first come to the gates of this imposing city, thus, the mixture of exciting discovery along with the epic grandness of the city is at the core.
The overall mood of the piece is epic, fantasy with medieval tints and with an undertone of discovery and grandness.



Dawning feat. Ana Jiménez Díaz (vocals) (November 2015) 
180 bpm / film score mystic oriental epical 

"dawning" was composed for "BattleBards" (California, USA) as score for the tabletop-game "Scale of Prophecy". A slightly oriental instrumentation and a profoundly mysterious and epical ambience illustrate a prophetess half snake, half woman. In a strange language she narrates a prediction of the end times, warning the world about what will happen if the players should fail. The prophetess enters in a magical trance while telling and pierces the veil of time.
To represent the mystical entity and her trance, the score counts with the collaboration of the voice of Ana Jiménez.




The Fall (October 2015) 
120 bpm / film score epical sci-fi drama

"the fall" was composed for "BattleBards" (California, USA) as score for the "Space Fleet's Final Engagement". In the introduction, the composition illustrates the vastness of the universe, its colourful beauty, the vacuum of rushing slowness as well as its hostility. As an immense "warhorn" cries out, the score initiates its depiction of a crucial battle between opposing fleets of spaceships. Here an orchestral instrumentation is used to underline the dramatic and epic issue. At the end, slowly but constantly "the sight" moves away from the battleground as the universe in all its splendor opens up around again. 




Dinesh (sun child)  feat. Guadalupe Álvarez Martín (violin) (June 2015) 
105 bpm / harmonic slow groove violin indian tablas

A very harmonic composition, slow and yet full of groove. Heading off with indian tablas that maintain a firm base throughout the song. A melodic journey evoking sentimental and hopeful themes, ending up in a delightful violin solo. The song was written for a contemporary dance piece La Kabilia Studios (Mérida / Spain). 

Violin by Guadalupe Álvarez.




Eleguanco feat. Eli del Buen Aire (vocals) (June 2015) 
180 bpm / afro cuban chant revisited

Conny Blue (August 2013) 
140 bpm / epic electronic postpop

An homage to the fast passing of time and to live life every moment - with all its ups and downs! 
Sound and noise scapes at the beginning fuse into an harmonic arrangement embedded in electronic rhythms and classical instrumentation expressing the epical topic throughout the whole tune. 
In remembrance and loving memory of my cousin Conny (1970-2013). 
 


Kumbayé (August 2013)
132 bpm / worldfunk african choir

Definitely a worldmusic tune with a powerful notion of funk that gradually rises and is refined thanks to the euphoric african chants.


Je Maintiendrai (August 2013) 
130 bpm / indie rock electro

This capturing instrumental indie-rock arrangement offers slightly melancholic but moving melodies while it never leaves its path, riding a straightforward rhythm.
Just as its title says, "to stand one's ground".

 


Molecular Matter (February 2013)
171 bpm / electronic calypso latin

A short and peculiar composition based on an old Calypso tune. Starting with electronical sounds and rhythms, afterwards complemented by acoustic instruments, the arrangement gets an unexpected and lively twist ... !!!
