My first track created in Bitwig Studio, and first track of the album "Energy" I am working on. I wanted to capture some atmospheres and textures of Berlin, and that whichever dream you chase in this city, can become a reality.

The track is 90 BPM - so it's downtempo, comes with a synth melody, and a counter melody which acts as a dreamscape texture. One could argue it sports trance features too.

Berlin Dreaming

Born of the challenge to create my own intro song for my videos, and to use well-known computer sounds, this track finally came to be. It features sampled notification and error sounds of a few Windows operating systems, manipulated to form pleasing chords and speed in the song.

I think the best interpretation of the song is, that even if you encounter difficulties in life, you can take those difficulties, learn from it, and create something cool out of it - like this song.

A section of this track will now be used to open my marcus-s IT videos over on YouTube.

Digital Existence

In an attempt to create my first Trance beat, this tune describes the journey to what we all seek: peace, balance, and tranquility. It outlines the journey on that road, and eventually tranquility is reached.

Clocking in at 128 BPM, the track combines some genres into one: trance, downtempo, and chillout. The panflute I synthesized myself with the Fathom plugin.

Road to Tranquility

My latest track instantly takes you back into the 80s, with smooth synth sounds and delays - coming straight from that era, and a relaxing beat, clocking in at 95 BPM. Close your eyes while listening, to be taken back into that time to enjoy some nostalgia.

Also, this is the result of my first personal No-Plugins-Challenge. The track is entirely produced with the built-in sound-makers of Bitwig Studio 3, including, The Grid.

Retrospective

A musical journey through everything the golden time of the year has to offer: autumn. A slow and downtempo piece clocking in at 77 BPM, with beautiful pads, a soft piano, strong basslines and melodic vibes.

Made in Ableton Live.

Autumn

Go for a walk through Berlin city in the summer, when the sun is shining and the mood is good! The song attempts to capture the energy flying around when taking a stroll in the heart of the German capital.

The center piece of the track are melodic chord lines and a sampled Hang drum (one of my favorite instruments), which underline the mood and the vibes in the air.

Produced with Reaper 6, and mastered with iZotope Ozone Elements 9. The root note is C.

Summer Cityscape

My first track that I recorded as a performance in VCV Rack, a software that emulates a Eurorack setup with modules. It is my first attempt to do so, and I know it's not necessarily the best outcome - but if you don't start somewhere you can't learn. This is the result of using everything I learned from several Youtube videos.

The result was mastered with iZotope Ozone 9 in Reaper.

As my performance device I have used an APC mini by Akai, with the Iverson Jr 6+1 module with the preset of the same name. Some fading of other sounds was done with an Akai MIDI Mix.

Modular Dreams

With this track I am giving my hopes for 2021 to be a better year than the one behind us, a musical texture. Coming in with pleasing chords and a nice e-piano melody, it is clocked at 100 BPM. In the background one can hear "noises" from the year behind us, which are fading away in the distance.

Done entirely on Ubuntu Studio with Reaper and a number of Linux and Windows plugins, mastered with a Linux EQ.

EDIT: I have done some changes to the song... one could say I remastered it. It now has better volume and improved overall drive.
