An integral part of the Substratum project involves presenting my favorite music from other artists in the form of mixes. The music included there is deeply important for me, especially because of shaping my own style through the process of inspiration. While it's essential to be creative and develop your own style, it's equally important to recognize that new art can't be separated from existing works. Trying to completely separate yourself from others is nothing more than self-delusion. Realizing your own determinants is a very important part of the creative process.

The mix was done without any cuts in Traktor 2 software. The overall effect was achieved through tonal matches and other methods done by ear.

It also includes:
- a track created by me in one of my previous projects: Ursatz - https://ursatz.bandcamp.com/album/futurology-of-ruins
- tracks by my underrated mate, Aidan Blue - https://soundcloud.com/aidan_blue

The first compilation focuses mainly on atmosphere and harmony.
The second one will explore psychoacoustic effects and lean more towards an industrial sound.

Substratum presents Deep Series: Part I. Atmospheres

Oct 19 - The Revd Deacon Susan McMillan

[Verse 1]

We built this love beneath the ground,
Where roots grow quiet, strong, and sound.
No winds can shake, no floods can move,
This kind of love we carved with truth.


---

[Pre-Chorus]

Under pressure, we don’t crack,
We hold the weight, we won’t look back.
Like mountains rising through the storm,
You keep me still, you keep me warm.


---

[Chorus – Hook / Earworm]

We don’t fall — we endure,
Stone by stone, pure and sure.
Solid hearts in shifting lands,
Still we rise with steady hands.
We don’t fall — we endure.
We don’t fall — we endure.


---

[Verse 2]

Your voice like soil beneath my feet,
Safe and rich and calm and deep.
Every touch a steady beat,
Like thunder rolling underneath.


---

[Bridge]

Cracks may form but won’t divide,
Even earth breaks open wide.
Still we stand through every trial,
Grounded in our love’s profile.


---

[Chorus – repeat, fuller]

We don’t fall — we endure,
Stone by stone, pure and sure.
Solid hearts in shifting lands,
Still we rise with steady hands.
We don’t fall — we endure.
We don’t fall — we endure.

We Don’t Fall

We dive as one, no need to speak
The water’s warm, the silence deep
No shore in sight, just you and me
A love that drifts eternally

[Pre-Chorus]
One glance — I drift apart
One word — you hit the heart
We don’t run — we flow
We don’t beg — we go

[Chorus – Hook / Earworm]
We drown deeper
Colder, sweeter
No way out
Just tides and fever
We drown deeper
Slow and pure
You and me —
We’re the waves, we’re the cure

[Verse 2]
Salt and skin, your touch, my tide
No direction, just the ride
No promises, no shore
Only oceans we explore

[Break / Spoken]
Sink me. Feel me.
Hold me. Heal me.

[Chorus – repeat, bigger]
We drown deeper
Colder, sweeter
No way out
Just tides and fever
We drown deeper
Slow and pure
You and me —
We’re the waves, we’re the cure

[Outro – minimal + emotional punch]
We’re the waves.
We’re the cure.
Pull me close.
Drown me more.

[Chorus – repeat, bigger]
We drown deeper
Colder, sweeter
No way out
Just tides and fever
We drown deeper
Slow and pure
You and me —
We’re the waves, we’re the cure


We Drown Deeper

Oct. 26 - The Very Revd Greta Getlein

[Intro – WHISPERED, processed fx]
I feel you in my breath
You're under my skin
You're not a man… you are the wind


---

[Verse 1 – low, theatrical tone]
You’re the pulse inside the stone
Rising up, then overthrown
You don’t love — you overtake
You kiss like hurricanes awake

[WHISPERED]
No warning. No sound.
You tear the silence down.


---

[Pre-Chorus – building, like pressure in air]
No one traps you, no one stays
You twist me up, then blow away
But I would rather break in two
Than live untouched, untouched by you


---

[CHORUS – SOPRANO VOCAL + beat drop]
(Soprano soaring)
Breathe me in!
Be the wind!
Rip me open!
Clean my sin!
(Underneath breathy vocals)
You’re the force I can’t contain
You’re the whisper in my flame
Let me fall, or let me spin
Love like wind — beneath my skin


---

[DROP – instrumental: synthetic wind, gritty bass, pulsing beat]


---

[Verse 2 – dark and rhythmic]
You pull the truth from out my bones
Your whispers louder than my moans
You are the chaos I obey
The holy storm I let invade


---

[Bridge – dramatic build / contrast]
[SOPRANO – ethereal, layered]
Take me high… then let me fall…
Tear my soul… then take it all…
[WHISPERED, intimate fx]
I am the altar
You are the wind that breaks it


---

[FINAL CHORUS – full force, operatic climax]
Breathe me in!
Be the wind!
Rip me open!
Clean my sin!
(spoken under the soprano)
Crash me fast, or let me go
Blow the lies and leave the glow
If I burn — then let it be
Love like wind — it sets me free


---

[Outro – fading, haunted whisper]
You're not mine
You're not real
But you're everything I want to feel
You're the wind… and I breathe you in

Breathe Me In

First drop of KOTH x Kurt Dr SW - crafted in the darkest shadows of the Hole. 

And afterward,
    I will pour out my Spirit on all people.
Your sons and daughters will prophesy,
    your old men will dream dreams,
    your young men will see visions.

DEMENTUS

Slow and dreamy track featuring a lonely acoustic guitar and soothing synths.

Built on previous musical projects oscillating between ambient and experimental genres, Substratum gathers all experiences related to music, sound, and visual arts, trying to make all the best of it. 

The aim is to make other things irrelevant and allow emotions to sound for themselves.

Beauty is in the eye of a beholder - and in the ear of a listener.

Humanworkshop is a loose collective of electronic music producers and audio professionals.

We are a label, manufacturing and releasing CD and vinyl albums alongside offering free MP3 downloads of exclusive tunes and DJ/live recordings. We are an audio services company, producing content for any conceivable form of online and offline media. And we are a blog and e-zine, writing and publishing articles related to audio production, music composition and new media.

As a music collective and netlabel, we aim to cover a wide area of electronica and beats genres without being part of any particular scene. We are not a dubstep label, not drum and bass collective; rather we like to look at ourselves as a group that combines virtually any modern style with more authentic and traditional music. We are interested in music that merges contemporary production with samples and recordings of 'real-world', physical instruments.

As an audio services company, we like to think we are a versatile bunch of professionals, able of producing sound design and music tailor-made to the wishes of our clients. We have worked for big and small clients alike, ranging from the BBC, Nike to non-profit, government funded projects.

Humanworkshop was established in 2000 by Daan Hendriks, Gerrit Elbrink and Remus Ockels, then first year Audio Design students at the HKU in Hilversum. In 2009, we merged with netlabel and e-zine Fant00m in a move to expand our range and offer more quality content. As a result of this merger, Durk Kooistra entered the core team of Humanworkshop.

We are all about collaboration, so whoever you are and whatever you do, if you feel a connection to our activities and would like to talk to us, then please don't hesitate to get in touch!
