Liquid Thoughts

Wooohoo! New magnum opus is ready to hit the boards! 

So, what it brought on table this time? The new musical reality that differs from the rest tracks now on genre level - relaxed soundtrack for last level of Smintheus Beta full of shamanic notes and transcendental moments. Is it ambient? Partly... is it Movie soundtrack? You got that right. Something of something made of other "somethings". 

Although track is relatively simple I've used tons of instruments. There are nearly 40 tracks in the project with lots of automated faders for this and that, all executed to materialize the desired atmosphere of the track's idea. Dug out few ancient VSTi such as Absynth and Korg M1 as well as more ancient sample libraries of ethno percussion stored on old scratched CD bought from local store. Speaking of composition, one of distinct moments is the mid part which plays one theme that grows with each bar more and more - a musical trick that i borrowed from Ravel's "Bolero". 

I'll spoil the bits of inspiration this time... the level and music is inspired by well known series of books written by Carlos Castaneda. I think I managed to express this inspiration quite precisely while keeping original style of the rest of soundtrack. Think of movie soundtrack written somewhere in 80s.

A new song for February! This one reflects the passing of seasons and of course evokes autumn. I was mainly experimenting with timbre here and messing around with sound design. Would love to know your thoughts!

Jazztronica (Mandis Megamix)

Aka "Neuton Mouse". The dude who's responsible for making these retro sounding tracks inspired by 80s era music of almost all genres. New wave, italo disco, spacesynth, synthwave, demo/amiga-scene and chiptunes tracks are at your disposal. I prefer not to limit myself in genres, so you might often hear all kinds of fusions whether it's groovy and jazzy twist or hard rock stuff or whatever I think that fits to this kind of music.

I'm also the "indie game developer" and currently developing 2D Survival Gadget-Building Puzzle Game called "Smintheus". Check out homepage and twitter (especially twitter) for moar stuff.
