Description : This is for my friend Danke who can't sleep at night. Yes, heat, heat...I guess Africa is hotter, but don't let the title and intro as well, deceive you! This is not African music nor the imitation of it. It's just a picture of starry African sky at night, painted with my european musical sensibilities and some imagination. So this is for Danke in the first place and then maybe for anyone who would like to fall asleep.:)...
Good night!:)

If you have time take a listen and give Orlando51 some feedback.
somehow I stumbled upon this wonderful piece of music by accident and thoroughly enjoyed it. You truly understood the ambient genre and implemented it brilliantly here. I don't know if you know Lucia Hwong, she was on the "Private" label at the time and your track reminded me of some of her music... but you know what it's like, with comparisons like that... it's probably totally subjective. Crazy that the track even suggests smells to me... small campfire and stuff...
What a pleasant surprise Ed....who would have thought you will stop by to comment on this forgotten oldie...:)
Thank you so much my friend...this really means alot !
Beautiful melody that takes you away. Should be a movie score for sure. You have a great talent for painting a mood. Thanks for the listen . Pat Dinnel
Hi again Orlando!
I'm a bit lazy so I'm lending some quotes from the fellow loopers to express my feelings for this masterpiece:
"ethereal"
"darkness is another form of light"
"a master of painting musical pictures for the mind"
"truly melodious"
Especially "darkness is another form of light" is what this is. And I think Soundhound should get a special price for that line.
Oh, you lazy girl...:)This time your laziness is excused for generously calling this a masterpiece (although it's not).But Soundhound really deserves the price you mentioned!:)
Thanks alot for this positive feedback, but I'm really not a percussion guy, let alone the teacher....I'm actualy pretty awful at it, yet sometimes lucky...hehe...
Well here I am just waking up, grabbed a cup of coffee and decided to check out some tracks and this is the first one I listen to. I hope the coffee kicks in soon cause this put me back in la la land!(haha)
A beautiful and relaxing melody. Very interesting drums at the intro. It does bear some resemblance to Legend of Zelda.
Great track Orlando, now I'm off for a second cup of coffee !
Hello matey,
Huge thanks for the inspiration mate.
“What a sexy song this is..:) Extra vibe for this extra song. Nice changes in mood were mentioned before by fellow loopers
and rightly so. Those squeaking brakes in the end could lead to a sequel titled "Girl In A Hospital"..haha...that would be
also very special musical challenge...:) Well done matey!”
Take a look I hope you like? https://www.looperman.com/tracks/detail/168305

The Legend of Zelda is an old nintendo entertainment system game. A Medieval adventure through mystical lands. I can see where Gramo gets that vibe. Alot of the music for the newer versions of the game are similar to this excellent sound painting.
Beautif... zzzzZZZZzzzz It's working :p We'll call you Picasso of sound :D If a starry night sky was sound... Zzzzzzz See, it's working and it's daytime!!
Stunning chilling ambient tune, very nicely constructed piece to get what you wanted to achieve, every sound very nice here mate, read comments about Kitaro, he is an absolutely brilliant artist, I have his works here in my music library, and yes does sound a lot like something he would do, Massive fav friend and downloaded...Might help me sleep, 3 hours sleep last night so here's hoping...Peace n MUCH Respect matey...Mosaic...
Another very friendly and supportive comments of yours, which really means alot to me...I will have to dig a bit more in this Kitaro guy...:)Thanks alot for the 'fav'!
Fine drums on the intro section - I really like the resonance and grooves, whish you continue a bit longer with them throughout the track. wonderful quasi-oriental atmosphere, I am really enjoying this type of sounds.
Thanks also for nice comments on my last track. I had to delete that one and couldn't reply the comments, hope you do not mind.
the journey is too picturesque and interesting for me to sleep to this one Orlando...you are indeed a master of painting musical pictures for the mind....superb piece of art here...as usual....Ed
Hey, my friend....glad you're back after some time! I hope you
will be soon presenting some new material here on LM!
Thank you so much for another positive and supportive feedback
and I have to tell you that I can't really compose proper lullabies, so you guys will need some stronger stuff to put you in sleep...)
Ahh such a sweet sweet collage of sounds. Where in Africa are you. I hear the Senegalese stringed instruments. North African beats.The voice of the Wolof, The ghosts of Tomboctu as the Tuareg cross the Sahara, the Fulani, the Morrocan traders. The secret Mauritanians moving there slaves. I hear it all in this song.

Very creative, ethereal piece of music. Nice description, helped set the scene. Great choice of instruments and well executed as far as composition. I love finding music like this to fall asleep to, it's so peaceful and calming.
Wayne, I'm so glad you liked this one..:)This is one of that kind of songs you never know who's gonna like it and who's gonna remain stone cold. Thank you so much for listening and for this lovely comment!:)
Spectacular, really nice tune.
This is just the kind of sounds that help stay inspired
so thank you ;)
I can almost... see... those.. stars (falls asleep)
Regards
Very clean and melodious track. Love how the intro transitions into a chill-out track. Did not expect that. Nice instrumental and lovely melody. Great work!
Cool track hope it helps "D" as well as others...
Nice groove simple and true, the natural blends of harmonics
used here have been used for generations, for such mentally states
of mind...
People like us that PLAY..Music we see more then others, it's
hard to turn it off at night, for us darkness is another form of light...
If you get my drift...
Ummmm....Couple of weeks ago I wrote something about spiders (http://www.looperman.com/tracks/detail/166938), so why not to take a musical look at mosquitos...I understand they're nasty little villains, but there's a song for every creature on this planet, I guess.:)
Thanks alot for stopping by to listen and comment!

Hey from K-Pax to Africa with your permission I like to call you the time trawler of galaxies.
However, as regard to the Earthly matter of the track, I hope it serve it propose.
As usual brilliant work.
Well done………favs it goes
Jamid
You can call me as you like, it's fine with me, although I'm not sure if I still hear within the range 20-20000 Hz due to loud sounds of music constantly invading my ears..:)
Anyways, thanks alot again for paying atention on my work, for posting this positive feedback and ofcourse for the 'fav'!
The song from the biggest painter of notes here...incredible track...I feel the heat throughout the whole number...outstanding voyage for everyone who is suffering with insomnia...(or not)
Get back on your feet my dear neighbour...no time for drama in
this hot weather...haha...
Many thanks my dear friend, for accepting my second dedication
to you with these generous words...I just couldn't resist the temptation...all those things come to my mind at summer time,
...heat influence, what else..:)
To the cooler future______Orlando

Description : Headphones are recommended for a more immersive experience :P - - - A weary American soldier is walking through the remains of what used to be a small town in the middle east, only to rediscover the horrible reality that sometimes war can affect even the ones who have no part in it.

This is my first attempt at creating a virtual environment to tell a story and convey emotion. Hope you enjoy! Comments are welcome!
Description : the other end of the scale from me, yep people, this is a ballad. its for all the people who have lost somebody long before their time was due,
i used my experience of tragic loss and how i hid my mental health issues that stemmed from it while writing it, its repetitive but has fresh verses
its to Matthias music Du Bist Nicht Mehr Hier almost the same title, He has suffered too that's why he wrote the music and dedicated it to his brother. i hope i have done it justice
Description : This track contains several loops, all of them are from looperman artists - listed below. I don't know if "ambient" fits well for it, but i get most loops from that category. :)
Inspired by the Final Fantasy series and my ex girlfriend. Hope you will enjoy it (not my ex! :D). As always, free to use for a song, any opinions-critics welcomed... UPDATE 2015.10.24.: improved audio quality - lower lows, higher highs. Now in 256kbps!
Description : Working with DarkKZ by Beatskillz, Synthmaster 2.9, Waves Bass Fingers, Microtonic drum synth, Izotope nectar 3 elements, Ozone 8 Elements & several other plugings I'm trying for the first time. The vocal samples are from Ghosthack, LANDR & Sampleswap. Hope you like it. Cheers.
Post script: The word "Ambient" has come up several times in the comment section for this, so I switched the genre to that. Thanks for the input. I really appreciate it.
Description : Ambient, psychedelic chill out rock or something or rather. Lyrics, vocals, guitars and keyboards myself. One drum loop used (free Loopmasters ambient pack). If you want a bit of a back story on the words check the lyric page.
Description : I made this with Garageband and was inspired by Anime music, such as Naruto. And if you noticed one little part is very similar to one of the melodies.
Description : Depression and sadness can sometimes serve as motivation for creativity as in the case of this track. A few months back I went through a period of loosing a few friends and co-workers. Attended a few funerals and as a result found myself reflecting on life. One night I had the urge to try to transfer my feelings into music and this is what came out. Some baratone guitar accompanied by synth and accapella.
Final EDIT: Further tweaking on levels and a slight change up in the timimg of the choir section.
Description : Hello,
this is a track between composition and cover.
Amandine (Sova Berry or Dine on soundcloud) made a cover of the a cappella "Song of Sophia" by Dead Can Dance.
I liked it very much, so i decided to make an instrumental with her vocals.
Hope you'll like it and if you want to comment, you are welcome, whatever you think.
Bye
Description : Ambient, Chill Out, Cinematic .... I´m not sure ... Take your headphones. Close your eyes. Start the engines and have a ride into the unknown. A spacy little trip from somewhere into anywhere outside. - U_P_D_A_T_E - I made a video to this track. So you can enjoy now the flight with open eys. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ON4u0bRZJ4k
