Unknown Gangster

Finished this track that I had written couple weeks ago. I sort of like how it turned out. How would you improve this?!

Quintessence

How can you wake up every morning feeling a little bit different,

yet still always remaining quintessencially the same?

 

Watch movie.

Shadowdance

It's under the moon that shadows dance best.

Waving Goodbye

I find that for once, the transitions from one part of the song to another are not abrupt. They sort of flow into each other, they are fluid and I think it's cool.

On another hand, this guy wrote : ''Every goodbye is the birth of a memory.''

:O

Stare

When you stare mindlessly right in front of you, lost in space and thoughts.

http://www.newgrounds.com/audio/listen/455592

Keep staring.

A Man and A City.

Self-Portrait in a way I guess.

Dark Rain Falls

This piece has it's own unique atmosphere compared to everything else I've done so far, so I'd suggest that you listen to it. I'm very happy with the outcome for that specific reason, and I feel like once again I'm moving in the right direction, musically speaking.

''Dark Rain Falls

Time Stops and Ego Disappears

Tears Melt Away and I See

For Once,

Who I Shall Be.''

Self-Control

I'm a psychonaut, but sometimes I feel like only sobreity can provide me with what I need. So for the past 2 weeks, I've been off everything. Now I feel amazing, and I find myself a lot more in control of everything. My self-control has developped greatly, and it's a great sensation.

This song is sort of trying to portray that feeling, the one of confidence, comfortability and vulnerability. Please enjoy, I've tried my best.

The Waves

So I simply put together a cool drum beat and jammed to it with different sounds. I liked the result and decided to post it. Nothing jaw-dropping but worth a listen.

And also, this picture is hella fantastic.

Sparkling Beauty

So this track has evolved into something that I have a very hard time to categorize. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Other than that, just enjoy the song yes?

Clouded

I'm referring to the clouds that inhabit the insides of your head here. :D

A Salute To Myself

Standing here in front of my computer, a few hours away from the beginning of university, I stop and wonder how I want to spend the next four years. Well, I must remember that this is what I wanted the most, so I hope I will welcome every experience with an open heart and an open mind. I am at the perfect place to further develop my filmmaking skills and passion, as well as the film geek side of my personality. Truely, I hope to meet people with whom I will share a profound love for cinema and with whom it'll be a blast to work with. This is the beginning of the rest of my life, and I intend to learn and grow through every experience, in every moment.

Hereby I stand, and wish an honest salute to myself. Trust life and it's infinite ways to blow up your mind.

Remnants of a Past Self

I just want to say that I've worked more on mastering this track than any other I've made. With each new track I create I try to outdo myself in terms of production, so I really hope this is a good step in the right direction. You tell me.

The Joker Knows How To Laugh

Occasionally, I force myself to write something slower and more heavier, while still incorporating the piano.

Tell me if this was worth it, it feels like a prog riff.

Departure

Departing. Looking outside, but inwards. Leaving, and not promising to come back.

Admiration (In Awe)

''Admiration is an overwhelming feeling of reverence, admiration, fear, etc., produced by that which is grand, sublime, extremely powerful, or in the like.''

One of the most rewarding sensations a human being can feel.

Tenebrae

I think one should not be afraid of the dark. I feel secure surrounded by darkness, I feel this weird energy all around me. The darkness is on my side, so be it.

In french it is called Les Tenebres.

People Are The Cure

A lot of people (myself included) spend a lot of their time criticizing others, for various reasons. But I'm starting to think that behaving like that is a serious waste of time, it leads nowhere. Everything is perception and reality is perception, so having a positive outlook in life definitely helps you feel better!

In the meantime, this :

Dear Hally

I tried to express various feelings one might encounter while writing an important letter, preferably to a woman.

Blind In Paradise

I think this tracks evolves in a very interesting and impressive way. But I am really frustrated that I couldn't make it sound as I wanted. I have to become better in producing and mastering sounds, but first of all let's find out why the quality diminishes when I export a track...?

Until then, please enjoy and let me know what you think.

Serenity

I feel elsewhere, distracted.

I'm lost in my thoughts.

And even though peace surrounds me,

Making me perfectly safe,

I am disconnected.

For me, that is Serenity.

Kiss The Sky

'' If I could fly
See the world beneath me
Feel as though I'm set free
Oh, if I could kiss the sky. ''  http://www.newgrounds.com/audio/listen/414278 

Everything Is Yours

To Hope. To Inspire. To Release.

Espérer. Inspirer. Expirer.

Everything is yours.

Blessed Void

You are clinically dead. You enter the blessed void. 

You lose all your senses and your mind is lifted.

It's futile to resist, you get paranoid.

 My only fear is my heart to be rejected.

 Fall forever in the divine sleep.

 Sacred coma makes the angels weep.

 Now enter the blessed void.

Necropophagus

It may sound weird, but to me music is really visual. It stimulates my imagination to create all these images in my head which are directly inspired by the music. It's what I'd like to call ''musical landscapes''. Didn't you ever go to one of your friends and say ''Man listen to this song I totally picture this and that!''? So for me, a good song will be evocative and feeling and thought-provoking. Music plants that little seed in you and reflecting on that makes it grow.

All this to say that I'm thrilled to see that the first song I've made in about 2 months now shows this kind of approach. I hope you like it.

Back from the... dead?

Oh god. Finally, I have a home. And I am more motivated than ever to immerse myself in creation. Having no place AT ALL to live for a month and a half gives you a lot of time to think for yourself, and I've realised a few important things that way.

Now I have quite a lot of editing work to do since I wasn't able to access my own computer for all that time. The movie is back in production, I am almost done filming. With a friend of mine we've built a very nice dolly machine that works great and we can't wait to use it for the movie. In total there's 3 scenes left to do, so wish me good luck.

When this kind of experience happens to you, you just have to realise that life has given you a "continue". And I will use it to the best of my capabilities.

Quick/Late update

Life has it's ups and downs, and I'm obviously in a down these days. My appartment was flooded 2 weeks ago and I've been living here and there since then. No time at all for creative work, my main focus is my survival. Needless to say, the movie and my musical projects have been put on hold while things sort themselves out. I will soon be able to return to my place (hopefully), and I feel that a new wave of inspiration will flow through me.

When life gives you lemons, ask yourself why. Don't let all those distractions drive you away from your essence, from your passions and your work. All of this has given me a lot of time to think and I'm sort of grateful for that. But I simply cannot wait to go back home. I will dive into my world head first, count on me.

See you soon.

Drifting Off

Drifting off on the sidetrack of life, with no pleasure and no guilt. No regret and no remorse, because I chose every moment, and I welcome every experience with an open heart. To be in a constant state of departure while always arriving. To be vulnerable but comfortable. To be here and now, to breathe in on every thought and to slowly fade away...

And then when I turn the lights off, for some odd reason, the darkness feels comforting instead of fearful. I can only look into myself now, imagining my own world. Always on the edge of the limit and always keeping myself company. To drift off is to accept future sacrifices, to be fully aware that where you're headed to will be yours. Let the unbreakable and perfect balance of nature guide your every step.

I don't exactly know what I meant by all this, but it's sort of a mysterious description of my present lifestyle. I like it.

Coming To Life

So I've actually started to film a movie at the beginning of this week, and I want to say that I'm happy with the way the work is accomplished. It's far from finished, but as long as I keep putting effort into each shot, the final result should be good. The work is the reward itself.

The movie is coming to life.
