Over The Moon is delighted to present our sophomore release, the debut release from a bright new talent on the downtempo scene.  Encounters, from Bay Area based multi-instrumentalist and producer Tyler Hovestadt, is a project that seeks to find balance between organic musicality and electronic exploration.  On 'A Path Beyond', Encounters gently evokes a sense of calm through uplifting tones and thoughtful progression, enveloping the listener in a cocoon of heart centered magic.

“ A Path Beyond has been in the making for several years, drawing influences from real world experiences and people I've crossed paths with. It is the first album from Encounters with each track composed to evoke a different feeling from its listener. I'm excited to finally share this music with the world.” - Tyler Hovestadt/Encounters

ABOUT THE ARTIST:

Tyler Hovestadt began his musical endeavor by experimenting and improvising with synthesizers as a part of garage jam sessions with his friends. After furthering his craft in sound design and arrangement, he went on to produce his own compositions and establish Encounters. Aiming to marry the digital and analog world, Encounters fuses organic, live-recorded percussion with meticulously constructed electronic soundscapes. 

ABOUT OVER THE MOON:

Over The Moon is the sister imprint of Behind The Sky Music, a record label created by established electronic producer Bluetech which is committed to releasing high quality limited edition vinyl presses of analog and modular synth music.  Formed during the pandemic lockdown, Over The Moon is a collaboration between label partners and longtime friends Evan Bartholomew (Bluetech) and Maggie Houtz (DJ Maggie). The two work closely on co-producing the weekly Twitch audiovisual show Holotropic Happy Hour as well as the various artists Matters of the Heart compilation in summer of 2021 for Behind the Sky. Maggie’s love for - and encyclopedic knowledge of - downtempo electronica is the guiding force in curating a catalog of gorgeous and emotional electronic music.   Over The Moon was born out of an inspiration to showcase more explicitly electronic, beat-driven music that sits just outside the parameters of the Berlin school ambient and analog synth-oriented releases of Behind The Sky.

🌌 MEET ME IN ETERNITY 🌌

An odyssey beyond time, crafted by SYNTHTOPIA x QVANTVM

This album is a deep, cinematic journey through the cosmos — a meditation on infinity, light, and the eternal resonance of existence. Built from evolving synth pads, warm analog textures, and ethereal orchestral layers, each piece unfolds like a star-born hymn: expansive, transportive, and timeless.

From the shimmering stillness of THE QUIET BETWEEN THE SUNS to the soaring radiance of FIELDS OF STARLIGHT and the transcendental call of ARC OF INFINITY, this is music designed to dissolve boundaries between the human spirit and the infinite universe.

These soundscapes invite higher consciousness, deep reflection, and a sense of home among the stars. It is not just an album — it is a gateway.

✨ Enter the cosmos. Meet me in eternity. ✨

THE AGE OF CONSTELLATIONS

“Daylight”, the new single from Lydia, is a gentle chillout journey that radiates calm and serenity.
With its meditative flow and soothing textures, the track feels like a breath of fresh air, an invitation to pause, unwind, and reconnect with stillness.

A beautiful gift, freely shared, that lingers like warm sunlight on the soul.
A gentle reminder that music can be pure light. Download now exclusively on Bandcamp in 24bit studio master.

Source notes:
- The clean version of the bassline was ripped from a track I made over a decade ago. That track wasn't very good, but this sample was the seed that Human Rising grew from. Save your work!
- One of the main drones, heard in the beginning and end of the song, was made with Malakai's Korg Minilogue in Brooklyn, NY.
- Other drones were made with the legendary Paul's Extreme Sound Stretch (aka Paulstretch).
