Listen Now on Soundcloud:


"Atmosphere" was recorded in Ableton Live using a few different stock and Arturia synths, as well as XLN Audio Addictive Drums and Addictive Keys. I'm pleased with how it turned out, particularly because I did the whole thing while traveling around for the week under very subpar conditions. The vocals were recorded through an AKG dynamic stage mic (not a condenser like I would have preferred), and I mixed & mastered the whole thing on a train in Skullcandy headphones - so if the sound quality isn't fantastic, that's why. I anticipate doing another version of this song in the near future.

"Atmosphere" is also up on Musicoin and DSound!

Yea man, this was really cool... This reminds me of an electronic version of those mid-2000 emo bands. I mean that in the best possible way, lol, because I loved those bands back then.

Very cool stuff!

Emo was my shit. I just re-went through a heavy Taking Back Sunday phase. Thanks :D

Nice work! Definitely deserves an upvote.

Thank you! Songwriting is a lot of fun, my favourite activity. You should try it!

"Your love is my atmosphere"

Ayyyyyyy what a message. Love this track. Get that positive Taking Back Sunday feel from that. That whole movement was so inspiring. Glad to see you channeling a new type of music to inspire this world.

And this beat is so dopeeeeeeeeee. Those drops and the sounds and the way you arrange them are incredible in my opinion.

Such a catchy and uplifting tune appreciate you sharing it with the community.

Thanks so much dude! :D :D :D

Pretty good.

Nice song

Thank you :)

What instruments do you use to create your sound? Im a serum man myself.

I use Arturia, especially their Prophet emulator, TAL U-No and the Ableton sampler. I prefer vintage sounds over the weirder stuff you can do with Serum/Massive though I do play with those two from time to time.

nice..

amazing work. I offer to make an alternative mix and listen to your opinion about it...Great Stuff!!!

Thank you! I may take you up on that. The issue with my mix here was really that I've been away from my good speakers/treated room while I was making this track. I'm gonna redo it with proper hardware and see what I can do.

Dope works! Kudos

Thank you!!!

Amazing dear. Its really enjoyable to listen.
