Synth yourself to sleep with Curtis Melton’s Firefly Lullaby

Posted on 14 May 2023

The endlessly accoladed American composer, conductor and music educator Curtis Melton dusted off his analogue synths to orchestrate the ultimate instrumental soundtrack to synth yourself to sleep.

Firefly Lullaby is a definitively 80s ambient score with majestic overtones that invite you into a scintillating fantasia of pop and romanticism-soaked synthwave; insomnia doesn’t stand a chance against the glistening motifs and crescendos that are endlessly efficacious in their ability to allow your subconscious to take the lead.

His sonic scores are achievements standing alone. In addition to them, in 2015, he was nominated for “Best Original Score” at the Idyllwild International Film Festival, in the same year, he won “Best Original Song” at the Las Vegas 48 Hour Film Festival. He was named a finalist in the Ravel Association International Soundtrack Competition in Italy in 2016, and was named a semi-finalist in The American Prize Composer Competition in 2018 for his original works “The Genesis Effect” and “Forever Through The Fire”.

Firefly Lullaby hit the airwaves on May 1; hear it on YouTube.

Reaching so high: Curtis Melton is so wonderful on soothing instrumental piece ‘Flying Through My Dreams’

Posted on 19 March 2021

Bringing a highly classy atmosphere with him and a tender touch within his soul, Curtis Melton is soothingly masterful on his new instrumental single called ‘Flying Through My Dreams‘.

Curtis Melton is a North Las Vegas-based delightfully authentic contemporary instrumental rock artist, composer and director of bands, who makes that rare type of old school music, that helps you relax and think clearer after a tough day at work.

This is the lovely story that helps you reach your goals, through that transfixing state that allows you to do so much more when you close your eyes and think of all the good you can do. The song is cinematic and you imagine this being in an exciting series or movie right at the most romantic part, as the care and love with which this track was made is so transcendent and beautiful.

‘Flying Through My Dreams‘ from the creative contemporary instrumental rock composer artist Curtis Melton, has that inner peace wrapped inside, that is so needed in this tough-to-stomach world. This is a relaxing journey up above that will put you in a more positive mindset to survive current dramas, that just don’t seem to end.
