Music Pieces:
DAWN
Solitary Sound • 9th August, 2022
'the first appearance of light in the sky before sunrise'
'Dawn' uses a wide range of dynamic techniques from reverse reverb, to sustained cello notes to symbolise the peaceful effect of daybreak.
REBIRTH
Solitary Sound • 21st June, 2022
'a period of new life, growth, or activity; a revival'
Embracing the concept of revival, 'Rebirth' uses slow pads, pulsating strings, and delayed high piano notes to form a texture like no other.
Sanctity
Solitary Sound • 19th January, 2022
'the state or quality of being holy, sacred, or saintly'
'Sanctity' takes inspiration from the following words: "Take time to appreciate the small moments in life. Seek solace in times of sadness. Find happiness in the harshest of days. Feel comforted by a love one's embraces - all of these are the sanctity of human life." - Jonny Ewers
Stained
Solitary Sound • 10th January, 2022
'to mark or discolour with something that is not easily removed'
Through the use of haunting pads, slow melodic moments, and evocative string parts, 'Stained' takes holy inspiration from religion and the church.
Split
Solitary Sound • 24th December, 2021
'break or cause to break forcibly into parts'
Fast, upbeat, emotional, 'Split' explores the feeling of being stuck between two minds, and finally breaking through to feel 'normal'.

Serenity
Solitary Sound • 6th March, 2021
'the state of being calm, peaceful, and untroubled'
'Serenity' was written while in the clearest frame of mind. Using synthesisers, heavy builds, and easy-to-remember melodic lines, Serenity breaks through to feelings you didn't realise you had.

MIST
'a cloud of tiny water droplets suspended in the atmosphere'

Memory
'something remembered from the past'
Beauty, elegance, charm - traits 'Memory' doesn't fail to deliver. Through strong, yet beautiful, sentimental melodies, this piece helps experience 'then' through the lens of 'now'.
Restate
'state (something) again, more clearly or convincingly'
As the name suggests, 'Restate' is king when it comes to repetition. The verbose language in the piano creates to the listener a soothing lull and simple point of reference.
SHADES
'comparative darkness caused by shelter from direct sunlight'
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
3-minutes of syncopated drums, repetitive synths, and single sound sources. 'Shades', similar to 'Drift', uses multiple FX units, including reverb, delay and granulation, to help create a unique sound.
Moment
'a very brief period of time'
Inspired by Hans Zimmer's masterpiece 'Time', 'Moment', through inspiring chord progressions and simple, yet commanding, melodies, tries to capture a single second where eyes connect, sparks ignite and fates become intertwined.
'the state or situation of being alone'
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
Beautiful solemn melodies on a solo piano, backed by a dark, yet gentle, pad. This piece is about finding peace in isolation - the epitome of 'Solitude'.
'an act of flying unsteadily by flapping the wings quickly and lightly'
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
A 3-minute piece created from an act of uncertainty. 'Flutter' is the epitome of beauty with an abundance of beautiful flourishes, soft, yet inspiring, melodies and the harmonic ability to encapture the sheer wonders of nature.
'suffer (something painful or difficult) patiently'
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
Through pensive, yet inspiring cellos, driving rhythms and refined ostinatos, 'Endure' perfectly forms an ominous atmosphere.
'come or go back to a place or person'
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
Hauntingly attractive melodies in both strings and woodwind, fused with detuned overtones, are definite features scattered throughout 'Return'.
'a state of perfect happiness'
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
Part three of a three-piece series, 'Bliss' keeps in-theme with the trilogy as its sole instrument is a piano - creating a sense of elegance and minimalism. This piece depicts a blissful time once spent with loved ones.
'a supposed emanation surrounding the body of a living creature'
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
Folklore and fantasy go hand-in-hand. Taking inspiration from Celtic folk and druidic themes, 'Aurua's use of harps, flutes and vocal pads transport you to a lost woodland realm.
'hold (someone) closely in one's arms'
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
Part two of a three-piece series, 'Embrace' consists of a single main piano backed by a warm calming pad. The main message conveyed through this piece is about embracing and accepting yourself for who you truly are.
'an uncultivated, uninhabited, and inhospitable region'

Inspired by Skyrim, the fifth instalment of the Elder Scrolls Series (Video Game), 'Wilderness' captures the desolate expanse of the Nordic wasteland through deep and commanding horns, heavy drums and dominant cellos.
'a person who has been ostracized by their society'
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
Part one of a three-piece series, 'Outcast' intertwines harps and piano to promote a simple, yet elegant, melody. This piece is the musical depiction of someone becoming pushed out of society.
'to be carried slowly by a current of air or water'
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
A dark 10-minute soundscape laden with amalgamations of hard gritty synths, ambient sweeps, and single sound sources. 'Drift' uses multiple FX units, including reverb, delay and granulation, to help create something you've never heard before..
'an open space in a wood or forest'
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
Inspired by the sheer excellence of Ori and the Blind Forest, 'Glades' attempts to harness the ever-growing beauty of the forest through harps, smooth pads and twilight-inducing bells.
'great courage in the face of danger'
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
Drawing inspiration from the Viking Age, 'Valour' creates a rhythmic foundation of epic themes that, in time, sets in motion a distinct heroic melody.
