My girlfriend left me with a new guy for a new adventure and I canceled our relation after five years.
I fell bad at the moment, had terrible last days, I feel used and worn out. I need many nights and tears to complete this track.
In the better days I had need one day only. I visit a forest near my studio nearly every day now, to relax and listen to nature and myself.
This forest encloses a graveyard and I have the feeling to hear the souls visit their rottened bodies.
No metronome, no quantisation, no rules.
Hope this track hits your hearts like my!

The most beautiful work yet - moving and beautifully balanced. I've had it looping for the past half an hour and it just rolls, and flows and drifts in a continuous stream. A excellent melancholy and thoughful mood.
I'm sorry to hear your news, but your own forest and graveyard cure sounds like good therapy for a while.
Stranely though today I took a trip to a nearby graveyard myself which was among the trees. I've added a picture here because perhaps it suits the mood of this music.
Just as an aside, my partner said that as she was walking among the graves she felt the "sorrow of a thousand mourners". She said she could feel the sadness of those who had knelt beside the tombstones and remembered their loved ones lost...

Beautiful, sad, evocative, straight from the heart. I can feel your pain in this, I can begin to share and feel your hurt.
I'm so pleased that you finished the track and it is so much better than the initial couple of minutes that you sent to me.
The piano really does the job. The cello is moody and heart rending. But you've lost the white noise of the wind in the trees - it'd be nice to have a bit of that back in the final mix.
One of your best tracks on this site was an old one (Inner Voices?) and that too was about a breakup of a relationship. You write and compose from the heart but I wish you lots of happy tunes in the future.
Of course I know what you've been going through recently from our emails, but this track says much more than words.
Well done on a superb track, but I wish that you had never needed to write it.

Thank you very much for the kind words.
After one week now I start to get over this, I try to forget this all and I feel better again. No more forest walks are necessary at the moment. I´am glad that you like the music and "feel" it.
The picture is great Spirit it fits to the music, thank you for posting it here.
Roman, I start to think that it is the best how it went ,too. Wird schon wieder.
I lived over my half life alone and, I can do it again.
Thank you.

This piece illustrates perfectly why I became a composer.
To be able to convey images and emotions to the listener without long-winded discourse.
Chris, you have demonstrated the best way of exorcising our private demons, by casting them out with creating beautiful timeless music.
Keep it up!

Thank you Paul and borg.
We have the same thoughts on composing,Paul.
It´s like a cure for my soul, when we make music we transform bad and good thoughts to frequences. I like to say music is a way to copy and materialize our emotions. When we do it in a good way, people understand us and my signature is right. After we do that our soul is clean again.
borg, it starts with the atmo sound, they build a atmosphere of the forest I visit and I had the right mood to do music.
Then the cello, it was so sad and the right instrument for my mood, the cello said what I felt, I only had to press the right notes.
To play the piano was not easy. I let the other tracks played in loop mood again and again, closed my eyes. felt the music and played, somehow. What nights I had
Thank you.

B E A U T I F U L; M O U R N F U L; S O U L F U L L Y executed. The cello had me in tears....
Nothing was missing, everything hits the heart. Without your story I could relate it to my own experiences - the picture you created here is so enveloping.
This is really a masterpiece from you Chris. I just wish you didn't have to go through so much pain to create it, but I suppose you couldn't have - without the real experience and the real emotions.
Take care of yourself
Brett

Fine words from you Brett,
I feel better and better, two weeks are gone and I started with new music again.
A masterpiece you said, well I want to do some more masterpieces, are there any women outthere to help me?

You had me lying on the floor listening to this beatiful soundscape many times...
The way everything morphs into each other is astounding. When I listen to it, I feel like deferend parts of my soul is going up and down to watch the surface.
While other posters here find the piece rather sad, I find it kind of "uplifting", going to new places. Reaching for something.
Technically, I endore your skills with synths. You are not just tweaking filters and envelopes, but making your sounds speak emotionally so well, that when it stops, I'm left begging for more.
If I should point any critics at all, it would be the piano, which at some parts, drags me out of the dream.
Anyway, sorry to hear about your girlfriend. In my world, people I know or did know, stays in a very special place in my heart. If they would die, they will still be inside there, with all my love. They have actually become part of me. Nothing could take that away. People is like music, it's all about exploring and intercepting.
Thank you for sharing your song.

Well, thanks for the open words Noah.
I really understand what you described and it is always a plessure for me when you really listen to one of my tracks and write a review.
I know this spiritual stage you described very much. Once, I´ve heard Klaus Schulze, I was lying on the floor too and the music surrounds me. I closed my eyes and after some time my soul or a part of it left my body and I could see me lying on the floor from a corner of my celling.
My body was weightless and swiming within the vibes of the music. Excellent to hear that somebody else has made this experience.
Interesting how you mentioned the piano. While the rest of the track is sad the piano tells ,hey come on keep going chris but the next bars it tells about the pain I had and have. So, the piano breaks up the mood sometimes, that was my emotion in the night when I played the piano.
I felt pulled from left to right from up to down, very undecided, hurt and hopeful.
