“Veil of Stars” unfolds as an expansive, shimmering soundscape built entirely from layered synthesizers. Soft, pulsating drones create a bed of cosmic stillness while glittering, bell-like tones drift across the stereo field like fragments of stardust. Subtle arpeggiated patterns emerge and recede, evoking the sensation of navigating an endless night sky. The piece balances serenity with mystery, hovering between wonder and quiet unease—perfect for scenes of dreamlike exploration, distant worlds, or moments where characters confront the vast unknown.

veil of stars

An album inspired by feelings of uncertainty, exploration and loss. These three songs are a window into my life on the road, exploring the unknown, returning to a home that's been broken apart, and the hopeful optimism that follows after the grief starts to dissipate. 

In Memory

Derek Carter (KapTep) about this release:

Ambient music seems to be fascinated by nature, oceans and the sky. For this KapTep release I wanted to explore the sky and more importantly all we can’t see, the millions of signals and mysteries that it hides.

I wanted to leave room for the songs to breathe and allow plenty of open spaces within them. At times these compositions may seem empty, that is by design. Although the current environment is to pick a track or two add them to your playlist.

I hope you will spend 49 minutes and listen to this as a body of work, as it was recorded to be listened to in one continuous sitting. In addition to the 6 original tracks there are two wonderful remixes added by Arrival In Eden, and Sacred Seeds.

Numbers Station – I’ve always been fascinated with them. The mystery and intrigue.

Naming the Sky – Melancholy drifting and not a care in the world.

LA Scanner – I simply love the voyeur nature of a cheap scanner.

Cold Luck Moon – Blurred images, sounds and emotions. Plus, three words that don’t mean anything together as a title.

I Need Light – In a world of conflict, doom scrolling and fear… I need light. In fact, I think we all do.

One Hundred Miles Until Sunrise – Have you ever driven somewhere and not remembered a second of it? Totally sober, auto-pilot. This is your soundtrack.
