Night (Version Instrumentale)

zur Sommerzeit

Ascension tells the story of a protagonist following his career path, overcoming fears and barriers, getting over self doubt and adverse conditions. Or maybe the tale of a space odyssey operated by a huge company and its rise to the most powerful entity of mankind. 

Choose whatever you want and please tell it in the comments.

This is a hybrid track starting with a solo violin and piano and strings accompaniment. A constant soft string ostinato is opposed to a synth pulse. The middle part starts very ambient with spacious pads but rises in tension with the help of the orchestra.

The climax is introduced with a strong melodic statement played by horns. It's further developed with modulation and varied instrumentation.

The outro is more or less a mirror of the intro.

Psychological bias

Liminal
Between night and dawn, where silence turns into breath.
This piece carries not only the beauty of transition, but also the weight of doubt – the fragile questions of whether it’s worth continuing, and what it all means. Yet in the midst of uncertainty, the music still rises. Pure, simple, true.

This is a remix of the original track, Through the Cosmos. I've added vocals and rearranged the orchestration for a more ethereal feel.

Nimbus
Some songs are born late at night, others in the soft glow before dawn.
This one began after a half sleepless night with my grandson — watching Babblarna, playing, and laying down the first layers in FL Studio. Just as the music started to form, he added his own grand finale: a diaper disaster that ended in a quick shower.

Afterwards, with a warm bottle and fresh clothes, we both fell asleep.
And this morning, after my half sleepless night, with a strong cup of coffee, I picked it up again and finished it in the moment — letting it drift into what became Nimbus: a track as soft and weightless as the clouds, yet filled with warmth, humor, and love.
