Expansion-New Loops-Psytrance Sounds for SynthMaster 3 Volume 1

Dive into a sonic journey where the cosmos meets rhythm. At 120 BPM, this single-synthesizer track captures the awe of witnessing Earth from space, just as the sun rises behind it. Feel the world unfolding at high speed through shimmering synth textures and pulsating beats, evoking a sense of vastness, motion, and cosmic revelation. Let Spatial Vision transport you to the edge of the universe, where every note is a glimpse into the infinite.

Spacial Vision

This piece was created with one intention in mind: to bring calm, relaxation, and help ease into sleep. The idea came from my wife, Ola, who encouraged me to explore a slower, more soothing sound. I chose 65 bpm, slightly below the average resting heartbeat, as a way of musically reflecting the gentle slowing down that happens as we drift into rest.

I wanted to craft something warm and immersive – deep, soft basslines layered with crystalline bells, piano textures, and the character of electric organs. While I don’t own the classic Rhodes V8, I reached for the Universal Audio Electra 88 and Serum 2 to find my own colors. For mastering, I dove into new tools I had never used before. It took time, but each step was a lesson learned – and I’m truly happy with the result.

Along the way, I drew inspiration from two YouTube channels I often return to: S1gns Of L1fe (https://www.youtube.com/@s1gns0fl1fe), with its brilliant breakdowns of how ambient music is built, and Martin Stürtzer (https://www.youtube.com/@MartinStuertzer), whose performances, countless synths, and of course his cat Neptun 🐈, always spark new ideas. Once, I commented on Martin’s channel saying he had all the gear in the world while I was just starting out with a single MiniFreak and a cat. His reply was simple but powerful: “That’s enough.” Those words stuck with me and continue to motivate me.

For this track I used Serum 2, Vital, SynthMaster 3, Arturia Pigments 6, u-he TyrellN6, UADx Electra B8 Vintage Keys, along with effects like UAD Waterfall Rotary Speaker, Valhalla Super Massive, Ozone 11, UAD Pultec EQP-1A, UADx 176 Compressor, and UADx SSL G Bus Compressor.

To me, this track is more than just music – it’s a small step toward making a dream real. I hope it brings you the same sense of peace and stillness it gave me while creating it.

Ten utwór powstał z myślą o relaksie i zasypianiu – był to pomysł mojej żony, Oli, która namówiła mnie, żeby spróbować stworzyć coś wyciszającego i spokojnego. Skupiłem się na tempie 65 bpm, nawiązującym do spowolnionego rytmu serca podczas odpoczynku i snu. 

Starałem się zbudować brzmienie ciepłe i kojące – głębokie basy połączyłem z krystalicznymi dźwiękami dzwonków, fortepianem i elektrycznymi organami. Choć nie mam kultowego Rhodes V8, to sięgnąłem po Universal Audio Electra 88 oraz Serum 2, które pozwoliły mi znaleźć własne barwy. Mastering zrobiłem zupełnie nowymi dla mnie narzędziami – była to długa droga, pełna nauki i kolejny krok w moim rozwoju. Jestem szczęśliwy i dumny, że udało się doprowadzić ten utwór do końca. 

Ogromną inspiracją w trakcie pracy były dla mnie kanały S1gns Of L1fe (https://www.youtube.com/@s1gns0fl1fe) i kanał Martina Stürtzera (https://www.youtube.com/@MartinStuertzer) na YouTube. Ten pierwszy – za wspaniałe, praktyczne tłumaczenie, jak tworzyć ambient. Ten drugi – za magię syntezatorów, niesamowite koncerty i... kota Neptuna 🐈. Kiedyś napisałem tam w komentarzu, że Martin ma mnóstwo sprzętu i syntezatorów, a ja dopiero zaczynam, mając tylko Arturię MiniFreak i kota. Martin odpisał mi wtedy: „to wystarczy”. To były proste, ale niezwykle budujące i mobilizujące słowa, które mocno zapamiętałem. 

Do stworzenia tego utworu użyłem m.in. Serum 2, Vital, SynthMaster 3, Arturia Pigments 6, u-he TyrellN6, UADx Electra B8 Vintage Keys oraz efektów: UAD Waterfall Rotary Speaker, Valhalla Super Massive, Ozone 11, UAD Pultec EQP-1A, UADx 176 Compressor, UADx SSL G Bus Compressor. 

Ten utwór to dla mnie coś więcej niż tylko muzyka – to mały krok w stronę spełnienia marzeń. Mam nadzieję, że i Tobie przyniesie chwilę spokoju i odpoczynku.

Ten utwór ma charakter niekomercyjny i nie został stworzony w celu zarobkowym.

Music composer till the nineties. I love working with SoundTracker software and have written thousand of tiny songs during those past years.
