Breath of the Universe

Soft, dance and retro-futuristic song, with kinda chill-out vibe.

Flame (Instrumental Real Life Cover)

Original synthwave at long last. Technically commissioned by someone on Ko-Fi, but all the same, enjoy!

All tuned sounds were courtesy of the Martinic AX73 VST!

Tuono

A track from a follow-up to what will likely now be known as "Waveforms V1": more experimentation with original retrowave compositions sequenced based on sounds generated from various vintage synthesizers. Some are software-based emulations, others are sequenced and recorded from the real hardware.

This piece was made using various samples from the E-mu Emax samplers

Waveforms v2

Electro-Max

An electrifying Synthwave ride through the vast highways of Texas — pulsing synths meet scorching guitar solos by Shred Krueger and soulful sax lines from Federico Amaro. A retro-futuristic road trip that blends nostalgia, speed, and cinematic flair.

Route 86

Graduations

Hidden behind the waves, you leave behind the noise of the city and its bustle. Here, among the sounds of the surf and the whisper of the wind, you feel alive. Every wave is an opportunity to start again, every tide is a new rhythm that leads me on an endless journey.

Looking at the horizon where the sky meets the ocean, you understand: here, in this world, you can be yourself. Dissolving, allowing yourself to be carried away to the places you dreamed of. In this space between reality and fantasy, you find shelter - hiding behind the waves, you find freedom.

Hide in the waves

Memory (beat. touch)

My contribution to a new compilation by 30th Floor Records. This compilation is dedicated to the Mortal Kombat games of the early 90s, and the remixes within are fantastic!

A new friend introduced me to this game music, and naturally, I loved it so much that I felt it best to do my own arrangement. Original piece can be heard here:

Electric Power Building (Breath of Fire OST Cover)
