I listen and watch a lot of podcasts and Youtube video’s about consciousness and the scientific, religious and philosophical take on it. I have ‘discovered’ a Brazilian scientist (computer science and he worked at CERN) and philosopher (Bernardo Kastrup) who resides in The Netherlands and he has a rather interesting take on consciousness. It goes to far to try and explain what his take is on this matter but there’s a word that he uses from time to time that got stuck in my head; qualia. Qualia is a term that is used in philosophy and qualia are defined as “instances of subjective, conscious experience”. To put it simple a qualia is something that is not measurable and arrives from subjective experience. For example the taste of an apple or the redness of an apple. You can define those things with a certain number of for example wavelengths but you cannot explain to others what the experience of the taste or redness of an apple is. All in all, this word is used in a lot of conversations with Bernardo Kastrup and I like the sound and meaning of the word. I was looking for a title for this song and during a walk the word qualia came to mind and I found it fitting for this song. In this song I have used the synth plugins Vital and Dexed. I made some samples with the Dexed plugin and used them in this song. There is not much to say about it except that I enjoy calmness and little tension of the sounds in this one. I hope you do to.

Midnight Motion is my first fully produced beat — no vocals, just pure feeling.
I made this using BandLab’s built-in synth Minor Portamento, which I hadn’t touched before, and it instantly gave me this gliding, nostalgic sound. The vibe feels like late-night thoughts drifting under city lights — soft, retro, and a little lonely.

Genre: Melodic Trap / Lo-fi Rap / Retro Chill
Mood: Emotional • Spacey • Nostalgic

Would love any feedback — especially on the mix, energy, or if it connects emotionally. Thanks for listening. 🙏

I had the opportunity to speak with Joshua of Our Foundations podcast. We talk a lot about idealism, which is often a pejorative accusation levied at ideologies which seek to change the world. In this episode we dig into whether or not anarchism is a natural outworking of the idealistic Kingdom of God, and whether Christians should compromise on that ideal or pursue it.

As Ämpers@nd I am producing (largely but not always intentionally) melancholic and dark-sounding ambient and soundscapes. Occasionally I produce chill and relaxing (almost meditative) songs and (experimental) electronic music.

All astrophotography pictures (galaxies, nebula's and stars) I have used are made (and owned) by Bob Reijnders. For more awesome pictures check his website: https://astro.bobreijnders.nl/. 
All other photo's are taken and edited by me.

16. I make music from real emotions.
Been through a lot, but I turn pain into purpose.
Melodic rap with heart, no fakes, just truth.
If you feel it, you get it.

This is only the beginning.

A podcast focused on nonviolence, social justice, and Kingdom living
