I found a sound that sounded familiar because it sounds like something I heard a couple of times in (short) video’s on social media platforms. I thought “what the heck” and in a ‘weak moment’ I decided to just jump the bandwagon. It’s a nice ominous sounding sound but at the same time mysterious and almost reassuring. I made a simple melody and put some synths and bass underneath. This sound is called “AphexTone” and comes from Carbon 2 (Reaktor library). As usual I’ve used a Spitfire Audio soundpackage. This time it’s from GAIKA’s “War Island”. I’ve also used the soundbank Ethereal Earth from Kontakt’s “Play Series Collection” and a sound from “Hypho” which is also by Kontakt. Just like in the last song I’ve posted I tried to make a guitar-sound from something that isn’t a guitar. It turned out pretty good. This song is nice and short (like a intermezzo piece) and I like to think of it like as a theme from a non-existing mysterious ‘old-school’ television series like the “X-Files” (or something like that). The title is an anagram of AphexTone. The picture is of a cuttlefish I saw near the coast of Tulamben in Bali. With some filters it looks even more alien especially with the light and the background that looks like it’s from an alien planet.

A Next Hope

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.
