Soluna – The Sun and the Moon, the Cycle of Life

Some songs are created to release emotions – whether heavy or uplifting. But sometimes, a song is born out of something even greater: pure joy and love.

One early summer morning I was babysitting my grandson. We started the day with his favorite show on TV – Babblarna – but he quickly grew tired of it. It was only around six or seven in the morning, so we went into my little home studio and began to play around together. I laid down a few chords and a straight bassline to follow them. And as always, I couldn’t resist sneaking in at least one random plonk. Finally, I added a simple kick. We sat there listening to what I call a Work Pattern.

Vincent looked content, and in that very moment, while the music was playing softly in the background, a melody appeared in my head – filled with joy and love. I stopped, recorded it, and played it back.

What happened next will forever remain a warm memory. Little four-month-old Vincent lit up, became completely excited, and started singing in his own way. There was no question – I had to capture this moment forever, recording his voice and letting him be part of the track.

Since then, the song has been allowed to mature, and in the end, my incredible friend Grant took it across the finish line, with a bit of guidance from me. I even got to stretch my own boundaries and join in vocally... tjikitikaaaa!

Vincent — little are you now, but you have a great future ahead of you.

MinorScale presents Hard Roads (Rainy Version).
Pax brings his signature nostalgic touch – echoing the cinematic spirit of Vangelis and John Carpenter. Analog warmth, brooding synths and rain-soaked atmospheres transform the original into a soundtrack of memory and mystery. A journey down familiar roads, but seen through misted glass.

Hard roads - Rainy version

Welcome to the latest remix of my original song, Hard Roads. Courtesy of super producer Pax, Hard Roads gets some John Carpenter style drama and an 80s electronic movie soundtrack feel, to go with the lost and lonely melodrama of my original vocal. Enjoy Hard Roads - Rainy Version.

Hard Roads - Rainy Version

Shimmer 

A cosmic drift of light and sound. Radiant arpeggios and wide ambient textures merge with heartfelt vocals, unfolding into a luminous journey that balances weightless beauty with an otherworldly pulse.

Shimmer

Tempus

I didn’t plan this one.
I created a sound — and suddenly the chords were just there,
as if they had been waiting for me to find them.

I played them once, together with the melody,
and while doing it, the arp was born — on its own.
Everything that followed felt guided,
like time itself was shaping the song through my hands.

Because time isn’t something we measure — it’s something we live.
Every tone, every pause, every breath carries a memory.
We are the sum of all our moments, and yet, somehow, more than that.

Tempus flows between stillness and movement —
between the ticking we can’t hear and the emotions we can’t name.
Swampy’s voice and my sounds merge into something that feels eternal —
not looking back or forward, but inward.

This is not a song about time.
It’s what time feels like — when you stop to reflect and listen. ⏳✨

Tempus

The sun rises, the day begins, another 24 hours passes. 
You blink, it's gone, never, ever to be recovered. 
One day you are a child. 
Then you are a parent. 
You blinked. 
The sun rose and the sun set. 
Your children have grown, you blink, time passes. 
Your children have children of their own. 
Time is not a concept, it is a force that shapes our bodies and guides our lives over a series of setting suns. 
One day you will see your last ever sunset - but not the last ever sunset.
From the minds of Phuse and Swampy of the Minorscale Music Collective comes Tempus, an ambient balled that celebrates the passing of time. A lifetime, an age. 
Close your eyes and let Tempus take you on a journey down the hands of time.

Tempus – Phuse & Swampy | MinorScale Music

The sun rises, the day begins, another 24 hours passes.
You blink — it’s gone, never to be recovered.
One day you are a child, then a parent, then a memory in someone else’s story.
Time isn’t a concept — it’s a force that shapes our bodies, our thoughts, our music.

Tempus was never planned.
A sound appeared — and suddenly the chords were there,
as if they had been waiting to be found.
From that moment, everything that followed felt guided,
like time itself was composing through our hands.

Tempus flows between stillness and movement —
between the ticking we can’t hear and the emotions we can’t name.
Swampy’s voice and Phuse’s sounds merge into something timeless,
a reflection of every sunrise, every heartbeat, every fleeting breath.

This is not a song about time.
It’s what time feels like — when you stop to reflect and listen. ⏳✨

SpaceMaze — The Origin Story
Full MinorScale version: https://soundcloud.com/minorscalemusic/spacemaze-juno?si=efb71d5a21c74ea5ab2bef490cf0123c&utm_source=clipboard&utm_medium=text&utm_campaign=social_sharing
The year is 1995.
Stockholm. Anemon.
A small ambient club filled with smoke, nerves and the raw electricity of youth.
Two young men step onto the stage with synths that were too cheap, dreams that were too big,
and absolutely no idea what they were about to unleash.

But somewhere in that first improvised performance —
between the tension, the chaos, and the beautiful mistakes —
the two arpeggios were born.
Our signature.
Our blueprint.
The sound that would follow us through life.

Pek — the impulsive spark.
Pax — the calculating architect.
Together we were Pekpax, two kids playing like the whole universe was holding its breath.

Fast-forward nearly thirty years.

A few weeks ago Pax posted a simple “Work Pattern” in our Discord.
Just a small clip —
but the moment I heard it, I was back in Anemon.
Back to the smoke, the neon, the adrenaline.
Back to SpaceMaze.
The name we gave our endless jams back when everything was new and nothing was impossible.

Pax dug up screenshots of the original arps from that night.
And suddenly the maze reopened.

Ensonic shaped Part I.
Pax crafted Part II.
I built Part III —
the turning point where the maze deepens, widens, breathes.
And when Swampy joined in, the final ending came alive and sealed the whole journey.

This isn’t just a track.
This is a time capsule —
a resurrection of who we were,
and a celebration of who we’ve become.

Three decades of friendship.
Three decades of sound.
Three decades carried by the same two arps that started everything in a tiny club in Stockholm.

If you want to create your own version and carry the arps forward,
reach out to me or Pax — we’ll share the pianoroll and everything you need.

SpaceMaze lives again.
And now it’s open for anyone ready to step inside.

Spacemaze Juno - Part III

@ensonic-1 sets the scene with the growing arp atmospheres. All is calm aboard our ship. Automated sytems kick in and we emerge from countless years of hypersleep, our fears growing as we speed through the outer galaxies. We are gliding through space approaching our target, its a wonderful slow build through star fields and comet contrails. The arps transmit the story of our travels to our ancestors as we leave the cold light years of hypersleep behind us 

Then @Pax_h  takes us through the asteroid belt as we approach planet fall. We navigate the swirling gasses and radiation clouds, soar through the asteroid fields, challenging the skills of the auto pilot. We make it through, beaten and battered but still in one piece. The solar winds create mind bending sounds we can hear through the ships PA system along with strange transmissions from the target world. We strap ourselves in and ready ourselves for our long journeys end

Then 
@Phuse69 fires us through the atmosphere, our wing tips are burning but the heat shield holds true. With sudden calm we burst through the cloud base. We cruise through the planets lower atmosphere, scanners at full range, more strange transmissions are received from the surface and we can hear the alien elders singing mesmerising hyms. The alien population below lifted by their elders songs begin chanting to us. Taunting us. Willing us to land. To take the challenge of the Spacemaze. What will become of us? Who will find the glittering prize at the centre of the maze?

@Swampy101 - His voice isn’t just a chant — it’s the signal that binds the mission together.
The guiding tone that cuts through hypersleep, fear, and cosmic chaos.
A single human vibration carrying wisdom, danger, and destiny.
Those hypnotic, almost Gregorian waves become our compass as we descend,
the last ancient frequency before we face the Spacemaze itself.

In the vast silence of space,
his chant is the beacon that carries us through the maze.

Spacemaze Juno

I just needed to release the stress of the day — to breathe out everything that had been building up.

Just a spark, a pulse… and suddenly the hypnotic pad chords appeared and showed me the way, as if they had been waiting beneath the surface.
The more I worked, the more the pressure dissolved.

This track is that moment when sound moves like light through water.
Soft pulses.
Gentle rushes.
A calm kind of euphoria growing without ever breaking.

I didn’t force anything.
Every tone found its place naturally, like ripples spreading from a single drop.

This is Dopamine — not the word, but the feeling

Dopamine

I don’t just make music — I travel through it.
Every tone, every breath, every quiet moment is part of something larger.
We often chase goals, results, and recognition —
but the true prize lies in the road itself,
in those fleeting sparks when sound turns into emotion.

Ambient is my calling, yet I never let boundaries define me.
Arpeggios, textures, and the occasional random plonk have become my compass,
guiding me through the vast soundscape between chaos and calm.

I’ve learned that success isn’t what you reach —
it’s what you feel while creating.
When gratitude replaces measurement,
music stops being a project to complete
and becomes a melody to experience. 🌙

I don’t chase trends, fame, or numbers.
Music flows through me naturally — shaped by nature, the cosmos,
and the quiet hum of everyday life.
If my sounds resonate with others, that’s a beautiful bonus.
But in the end, I create because I love it.

Peace 🫶 Join me on the journey.

UK based composer, producer, and vocalist in multiple genres. For the love of music.

We are Minorscale Music.

Born from late-night Discord sessions, deep dives into each other’s tracks, and a shared obsession with sound.
Pax, Phuse, and Ensonic had been shaping ideas for a while — until Swampy101 stepped in and gave us a voice.

That’s when the project became something more.

Minorscale Music is more than a group.
It’s four artists, four minds, one pulse.
Built on trust, driven by feeling, and always tuned to the minor key.
