Song for (Pallas) Athene
Based on Homer's 'The Odyssey'& 'The Illiad', this beautiful mythological song is dedicated to Athene.
After the battle at Troy, Odysseus is guided home to Ithaca by the powers of the ever disguised protector Athene, daughter of Zeus. Swirling chorals, orchestrated strings, guitar and piano. Mystical and full of emotion. This piece deals with the just and gentle side to Athene,
The reward for writing such a piece (before a trip to Western Anatolia) was that I managed to play it within the ancient city of Ephesus on minidisc. It was an unforgettable experience.
Echo's Song
Inspired by Echo, who faded into nothing with the rejection of love. A beautiful mixed emotive fantasy piece using steel guitar, deep strings, chorals and piano. As well as being quite tragic, this piece adds compliment and overall is a tributary piece for Echo..
Nausicaa
In the Odyssey, goddess like Nausicaa is guided to Odysseus by a night visit from Pallas Athene in Phaeacia which leads to a meeting by a river. This piece is highly emotional and enchanting, with warm strings, harp and guitar
Narcissus
Rejecting Echo the Nymph, Narcissus falls entranced with his reflection in the water. This beautiful song is written to portray the entrancement of Narcissus.
Stay (With Me Now) (new)
This is a flowing enchanting story in itself, with powerful emotive chords. Although it is currently in instrumental state, lyrics are written and it will be mixed with vocals soon.
Eternal Souls
Twisted and highly emotive piece dealing with pain and passion, love and lovelessness. The journey for the perfect love. Originally inspired by the Odyssey, based on Penelopes yearning for the return of Odysseus.
Fields of Frozen Roses
A dark feel to this song. Catchy percussion & bass. Deals with the pain of lost love. Strange haunting chorals build with piano mid-track to add to the atmosphere.
Her Autumn Eyes
Beautiful melodic strings build into piano and transforms midrift to add swirling entrancing electronic melodies and more uplifting piano. Builds and builds.
Dreams in Kavouri
Inspired by a trip down the coast from Athens to a mystical and paradisical spot near Kavouri. A good melodic steel guitar driven song.Return to Ithaca
Based on the Odyssey following Odysseus's journey back to Penelope across the sea. This track has a yearning, yet a sense of final accomplishment about it.
Calypso's Dream
Calypsos Cavern was the envisaged setting for this classic piece. A spacious entrancing feel is created to emulate Calypsos cavern and a dream-like feel. A 'hopeful' kind of piece
The Lost City
Travelling through enchanting desert and jungle to the lost city. The bass driven hypnotic rhythm and strings create the journey.
Flower in a Desert
This is a Sahara inspired & dreamy love song which is really part two of 'The Lost City' but an independant track in its own right. Several mixed emotions throughout driven by the strings used and additional guitar and piano.
