https://soundcloud.com/martin-hoogeboom (1954) is an autodidact Dutch sound artist with long standing interests in transcending conventional instrument approaches and the use of non-instrumental organic and homemade sounds. Improvisation and collaboration are an important part of his work.

Some words about the MNEMOSYNE project:
"I was immediately interested in this project because I myself have a fascination for memories and the associated melancholy. Let's not confuse that with nostalgia: longing for a lost past. I am not a man for panta rhei: everything flows. I want time to stand still for at least 30 years. Why did my children have to grow up? Why not stay 3 and 9 for 30 years or longer? Why can't the clouds float low and slowly over the flat Dutch wetlands for 30 consecutive years? And can't I look at that for at least 30 years? My music bears witness to that desire, it is the eternal sounds of nature, sounds of ever-moving time that I save in a few minutes. Time stands still in my sound world. The tapes used in my contribution to the MNEMOSYNE project are recorded between 1961 and 2021. Time captured and stopped."

"What was a crucial sound experience in your life?"
For the first 5 years of my life I lived with my parents in an old dilapidated house in the woods.
Besides the fact that I thought I was the only little human in the world - that was a fright in kindergarten with so many other little humans - the sound of the wind in the fir trees made an indelible impression on me. As a toddler I used to go outside when I woke up at night. Night sounds and the sound of the wind were crucial to my development as an artist. The sound of the wind in the pines is not included. I hear that sound in my head and enjoy the melancholy it evokes. Can call it up anytime, anywhere, but it can only be heard by me.

The only place, where you can listen to the full length is Bandcamp: https://tobto.bandcamp.com/track/sophia-drone-music


That track SOPHIA dedicated to the St. Sophia Cathedral, located in the center of ancient Kyiv. Composed in 2014.  

Saint-Sophia Cathedral is a unique monument of architecture and monumental art of the early 11th century having the biggest preserved collection of mosaics and frescoes of that period. More on that incredible masterpiece of Ukrainian Art, read please,  on UNESCO site:   https://whc.unesco.org/en/list/527/

Futuristic Textures is a free sample pack I created for Flame Sound.

The pack includes 52 WAV files, built around 13 core textures, each provided with multiple variations. All sounds were designed in Vital and are derived from an upcoming Vital sound bank that will be released on Flame Sound in early January 2026. This pack is a free preview of the types of sounds you'll find in the full collection.

The samples are delivered in standard WAV format, allowing you to use them in any DAW or sampler without requiring Vital to be installed. Simply drag and drop them into your project, or load them into your favorite sampler or sample-based instrument for further shaping and layering.

Futuristic Textures leans toward gritty, sci-fi, and thriller-inspired sound design, making it instantly usable for cinematic work. At the same time, the textures work just as well in electronic, ambient, experimental, and atmospheric music, where subtle movement and texture are key for adding a sense of mood and emotional depth to your tracks.

HydraTek x Flame Sound - Futuristic Textures (Demo Mix)

Twothousandandseventeen. A world full of super computers, mass surveillance, privacy encroachments, corrupt governments, censorship, broken moral compasses, fear mongering and cyber wars. Twothousandandseventeen. The beginning of the end. 

"Survival Research Laboratory" is the closing track from my new EP "Insert Coins To Continue". An ambient finale of drones, pads and robotic noises.

Released tomorrow on https://soundcloud.com/bricolage-collective

Survival Research Laboratory

Classic sounding 1930’s gypsy jazz, featuring amazing solos from the spanish gypsy guitar. An upbeat and bouncy rhythm section drive this traditional club jazz tune, led by traditional comping from the guitar.
