Dusty Kid – Beethoven: Moonlight Sonata Rework

Ready to submerge? This electronica reinterpretation of Beethoven’s Moonlight Sonata takes us down, down, down. Down into the calm, bobbing on the river of melancholy. I wonder what the long-departed composer would have to say about how his work echoes through the ages.

Ajja – Stage Left

Guitars can cut like a razor, explode like a volcano and smash like a meteor. But guitars can also soothe like a summer breeze, cure like a Medicine and build enthralling soundscapes. This song is a prime example of the latter. It’s a gentle caress for a busy mind.

You can listen to the melody for free, in good quality, on BandCamp, which is one of the best websites when it comes to supporting artists. You can also purchase the song (or album) from this same location.

Jens Buchert – Liquid

Welcome to a soft, moody piece set in the forests of Crackling Sound Texture. The richness of electronic sound fills the void with all sorts of exotic little details. Look for piano drops, for hand drums and for those countless slivers of sound arising left and right.

Lazerhawk – Neondawn

As the synths rise slowly but surely, sweeping melodies emerge. Imagination is invited for a ride among the stars, aboard a dashing spacecraft. It’s a song about timing and atmosphere. It excels in both. A neon dawn indeed.

You can listen to the melody for free, in good quality, on BandCamp, which is one of the best websites when it comes to supporting artists. You can also purchase the song (or album) from this same location. And in case you’re wondering, yes, I did purchase Lazerhawk’s album :).

Motorcycle – As The Rush Comes (Gabriel & Dresden Chillout Mix)

Imagine deserted roads getting lost between misty hills. From above, a lonely car is like the sun among the clouds. Somewhere, a song is playing. A voice descends from the cold heavens. The sound flows like tame rivers.

A song to float on. To travel, to let go, to dream, to calm down, to disconnect, to imagine on.

Also, this is one of those cases where the remix is clearly better than the original (this is, of course, a subjective opinion).

“Traveling somewhere
Could be anywhere
There’s a coldness in the air
But I don’t care
We drift deeper
Life goes on
We drift deeper
Into the sound”

Ambeon – Lost Message

Light chords and a dreamy voice guide this innocent story to life. It’s a gentle song combining traditional instruments with atmosphere-building synthesizers.

“All day long I sit by the riverside
Watching the sunrise and the colors it brings
Here I can sing, ‘cos there’s no one around
Some birds fly above me, flying so free
Remember an angel as she sat beside me
Here by the riverside
I looked into her big blue eyes and loved her like rain
Then she flew away like the bird she was before
I saw her flying into the sunset
As the sky turned to black and she faded from view
Next morning by sunrise I watched and waited
Waited for the bird that was my angel within”

“What’s up, song?”

“Well, you know, thumping along, building some awesome atmosphere, adding a trumpet here, a voice there.”
