The Voyage (2022 album)

My journey into the gloomy and dark chillwave genre with synthwave influence. 

I will add more tracks every now and then, and when there is a good combination of tracks, i will finalize it and release the album to streaming services.

All current tracks are subject to change at any time!

Korjuu (The Harvest) (Synthwave version)

Ensilumi (The First Snow)

Cleaned-up version from an original track years ago.

Botnia Noir 2023

This track is a cool example of how I put my musical ideas together to make a final song. I've tried out lots of different sounds and tunes, always adding new stuff and working on the track as it changes and grows. Sometimes, what I come up with here even becomes the starting point for a whole new song, like it happened with "Causality I" a few years back. And if you listen closely to the end of this track, you'll notice it shares a bunch of similarities and themes with "Causality I:" https://soundcloud.com/westis/causality?in=westis/sets/westis-causality

This track had been laying around in my drive for a long time (i never delete any of my project files) i decided to release it as-is after a few tweaks. I somehow like the mystical and horror kind of soundscapes in this track.

The Antecedent

Sometimes you have those days when you start playing some notes and suddenly - after a few hours - you have a really nice complete track at your hand. That's what happened here on this calm and frosty autumn Sunday. 

There might be a Part 2 as well because this track started evolving on it's own and became too massive for one song already.

Retrospectives

Unravel Pt. 1

Some disco house fun i made a few nights ago. Maybe a version with vocals is coming soon as well.

Canvas Of The Night (Part 1)

Second part utilizing the nice middle section of the part one.

Canvas Of The Night (Part 2)

The Future Unfolds On Me Now (With Vocals)

All The Music Has Not Yet Been Written 2024

In the city lights, lost in the crowd
Searching for a spark, but feeling so down

But i'll rise above, break through the haze
Find my rhythm in these endless days
With each beat i'll find my way
In the echoes of the night, i'll never stray.

Through the misty dawn, where shadows fade
I'll chase the light - i'm not afraid

So let the music carry me to the unknown
In the melody of life, i'll find my own

In the city lights, lost in the crowd
Searching for a spark, but feeling so down

But i'll rise above, break through the haze
Find my rhythm in these endless days
With each beat i'll find my way
In the echoes of the night, i'll never stray.

Through the misty dawn, where shadows fade
I'll chase the light - i'm not afraid

Chase The Light

A slight remaster and edit of my old but nice house track released 14 years ago: The Journey

The Journey (2024 Remaster)

A new experimental version of my previous track canvas of the night with some help by the Udio AI for the female vocals and lyrics (with some minor glitches). Male vocals and arrangement/production by me.

Kesäyön Taika (Canvas of the Night Vocal Remix)

My take on a bit darker style by the means of future garage. 

Edit: Updated a slightly remastered version 26.8.2024 as i was not totally happy with the beats.

Midnight Symphony

Drumless and a little bit differently mastered version which changes the genre to a soundtrack to an imaginary movie.

Midnight Symphony (Drumless Version)

Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XgMmnyyrO_8

A new future garage influenced version of one of my older tracks called "Viagem á Lisboa": https://soundcloud.com/westis/viagem-a-lisboa from 2020.

Watch in Youtube

Shadows Of London

Drumless and slightly modified version of my previous track. I kind of like the different character this track gets without the beats.

Original one with a new video on Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XgMmnyyrO_8

Shadows Of London (Drumless)

Wanted to make a lofi and slowed down version of this track as i think it really emphasizes the melancholy and moody athmosphere this track has.

Shadows Of London (Lo-Fi Slowed + Reverb Version)

Can you feel it? The silence in the storm
Lost in the shadows, I can't find the light 

I’m caught in the rhythm of a world gone cold
Fading in the darkness, losing control

Smoke in the air, can’t see the sky
Fading in the darkness, losing control

The future’s a question, can’t run from the past
Empty faces, fading fast

I’m caught in the rhythm of a world gone cold
Fading in the darkness, losing control

Running from ghosts that I can't leave behind
Lost in the shadows, chasing the night

Empty Faces

Instrumental and drumless version of my recent song Empty Faces.

Empty Faces (Instrumental Drumless)

Yössäkulkija (The Nightwalker) Part 1

Continuum to my previous track with the same mood. More to come :)

Yössäkulkija (The Nightwalker) Part 2

I decided to remaster this old track i released originally in 2006. Actually i am still quite happy with the minimalist approach of this track.

Slow Motion (2006) (Remaster)

A nicely progressing electro beat.
