  • New Song – Hope… by Almos Lataan

    Here I have completed the song “Hope…”. If I were to expand upon this, it would be to work with a vocalist. Were they to become a permanent member, they would have to agree to continue in a Christian/Catholic direction.

  • Queen of Heaven – Hymn

    Queen of Heaven – Hymn

    I reworked my old hymn “Ave Maria”, and renamed it “Graceful Queen of Heaven”, so that it doesn’t get confused with the famous namesake.

    Here I tried to work a bit of complexity into the hymn. Of course, it now sounds very different. I enjoyed the process of balancing the elements.

    I have also included included the Youtube link below the Bandcamp one.

    I was against uploading to Youtube after it was found Suno scraped the entire database, but I do have (limited) subscribers, so I think I have decided to continue with it.

    I did remove my previous album, “Morning Dew”. This was partly for personal reasons, and partly because I felt the music was a little simplistic. I may yet revisit it…

  • Morning Dew by Almos Lataan – Avant-Garde Nocturnes Album

    Morning Dew by Almos Lataan – Avant-Garde Nocturnes Album

    I have put “Morning Dew’, my album, up on bandcamp.

    Really, it is an album about the separation from my wife and daughter, which I would classify as atmospheric avant-garde nocturnes, which its favouring of dark , moody synths, and the use of cello.

    Here is one track off the album: “Waters Light Blue”.



    The separation from my daughter has been particularly painful. The tribunel court ruled that I could only see her for two hours every two weeks, a ruling that has been based on a mental health diagnosis that I have, which only affects me 3 weeks on average per year. This decision seems odd to me, and is not based on my actual functioning, which is extremely high.

    So the album really revolves around this separation pain.

  • Morning Dew – Dark Ambient Song

    Here is a new song I have written.

    Lyrics:

    Brightness on the dews lips
    Time to meet the dawn
    Shadows pass behind me
    Beauty of the fawn

    Love
    Faith
    Hope
    Joy

    Your eyes, no lies
    I rise, soft cries

    The darkness won’t fill
    I dream now, until, you

    A breath of cold air
    A soft spoken prayer
    Essence glows darkly
    See you through the morning dew

    The darkness won’t fill
    I dream now, until, you

    A breath of cold air
    A soft spoken prayer
    Essence glows darkly
    See you through the morning dew

  • Hail Jesus – Contemporary Worship Song

    A simple worship song. This one has been a while in the making. I experimented with chords, before reverting back to a simple harp progression, which I think sounds better.

  • Unseen Base – Almos Lataan – Chamber Pop Song

    Unseen Base – Almos Lataan – Chamber Pop Song

    I’ve put down “chamber pop”, as I think it’s the closest genre to this particular song. But if you know otherwise, then let me know in the comments.

    “Unseen Base” is a journey through the sea, and also life. Not every journey ends well.

  • Cold Eyes See No More – Slowcore – Anti-War Song- Peace Song

    Cold Eyes See No More – Slowcore – Anti-War Song- Peace Song

    I don’t now much about geo-politics or war, but I do know that it always ends up with the death of the innocent, especially children.

  • Sun Becomes My Leaven – Song – Percussion Edit

    Sun Becomes My Leaven – Song – Percussion Edit

    This is a song about, and for, my daughter, who I am separated from. I’ve take some of my original songs, and remastered them a little, as I attempt to make them a little more complex and inviting to the ear.

    I think I have been making a bit of music that might fall under slowcore, but this song I feel is a little bit too soaring for that category. So, I have just called it a slow building ballad.

  • Now You Fall In The Shade – Slowcore Song – Percussion Edit

    Now You Fall In The Shade – Slowcore Song – Percussion Edit

    I went through some old tracks to add percussion.
