Binaural Rain (Sound Devices 702 + DPA 4060)

Synthwave Diva audio demo by synthwave pioneer Timecop1983. The soundset is available at www.luftrum.com

The Unfinished and Luftrum have teamed to provide the Sound of Summer with their brand new collaboration, Diva Synthwave.

Like the perfect, golden child, born from a union between Jan Hammer and John Carpenter, Synthwave is one of the hottest electronic genres of the moment. Artists such as Mitch Murder and Powerglove have raised its profile, with guys like TimeCop1983 and FM-84 (who have both provided demo tracks for Diva Synthwave) continue to keep it fresh and alluring. Synthwave’s influence can even be heard in the cinematic work of M83, Cliff Martinez and Trent Reznor. 

Diva Synthwave provides 128 patches for U-He’s Diva, glistening with 80s nostalgia and dripping with analogue warmth. Chunky bass, smooth pads, flickering keys and lush leads, with that unmistakable synth cool. Matt and Soren have taken their love for the genre and given it their very own contemporary twist, providing all the sun-kissed retro joy necessary, but with an added touch of their own inimitable imaginations.

If your head is full of thoughts of Amigas, betamaxes and white men doing kung fu; the music of Vangelis and Tangerine Dream; films such as Breakfast Club and Beverly Hills Cop; and if you’re writing synth pop, outrun music, or just want a hint of that retro, analogue magic in your music, then Diva Synthwave is for you.

So, take a sip of your tequila sunrise, roll up your pink jacket sleeves, push the latest tunes into your eight track and drive that Testarossa deep into the heat of the night.

S1gns Of L1fe - Origin Story

Audio demo of some single presets from Luftrum 23, soundbank for Pigments. Only internal effects are used, no external sounds or other effects are used in the demo. The soundbank is out March 2 on www.luftrum.com.

Luftrum 23 for Pigments 2 is an ambient cinematic soundbank for the film scoring space traveller and the electronic producer, containing 100 presets plus 22 FX presets, for the reverb and delay effects.

The set is created by Luftrum and taking the sounds back-to-basics in the vein of early Luftrum releases with rich pads, silky Vangelis-like keys, bitcrushed yet mellow synth leads, underscoring textures and conceptual granular work with sonics originating from space itself - like the dusty, mesmerizing granular pad Stillness of Stars sculpted out of a short snippet of otherworldly frequencies from Voyager 2 as it passed through the outer magnetosphere in 1979 and the pulsing drone based on the cryptic FRB signals from deep space billions of light-years away, which are intercepted, noise reduced and timestretched 350 times.

The soundbank is designed to evoke emotions and raise questions about the depths of space and time, journeys to the unknown, life and existence and the symbiosis between the tiny pale blue dot we call Earth and the vast eternal universe, with inspirations drawn from artists like Biosphere, Jonn Serrie, Vangelis, Carbon Based Lifeforms, Stellardrone, Ascendant and Steve Roach.

Some of the audio contained are from the NASA archives and used in compliance with their Media Usage Guidelines. NASA is not affiliated with Luftrum and does not endorse the use of the audio. The ​FRB signal​ is from the Harvard Dataverse. The sonification itself is the public domain, according to the terms.

Luftrum 23 - Soundbank for Pigments

Evo Elysium is a collection of 100 presets for Padshop 2 containing melodic arpeggios to rich layered pads and dynamic, expressive synth keys, edgy basses and ambient sequences which all fuses together in this fresh electronica release – balanced with a hint of the 80s and influenced by artists like Tangerine Dream, The Orb, Tycho, Vangelis and Enya.

Padshop 2 is a synthesizer by Steinberg, containing two co-existing sound engines, a granular engine and a spectral oscillator and Evo Elysium is taking full advantage of both engines. The soundbank is created in coordination with Steinberg and Evo Elysium is also officially available on the Steinberg website.

Evo Elysium is 90MB and requires activation via the eLicenser which is the software to register Steinberg products. If you have an USB-eLicenser, you can use that instead. At order you will receive an activation code which you will need to enter into the eLicenser to register the soundbank before you can play the sounds. There’s a PDF guide included, describing how to install the set. As always, all presets are leaving a few dB headroom. Modwheel, aftertouch and velocity are assigned and can be used for more expression. 

The soundset is released Thursday June 25 on https://www.luftrum.com/
