Description
I used Ableton Live.
Inspired by musical projects: Apparat, son lux, suuns
Message from the artist
This was my first jam, and I was fortunate with the theme - inside my world.
Escapism is very close to me, both in a negative and positive sense. I liked the illustration by kawaakar, but at first, it seemed to me that it depicted a child flying somewhere in space, surrounded by bubbles. Although I quickly realized I was wrong, I decided to leave the cosmic mood in the composition.
I tried to portray a rather strange feeling: As if you realize that you are sleeping, but are trying to forget about it, so as not to wake up.
Theme
How does it fit the theme?
Completely, except for the image. I decided to follow the first impression I received when I first looked at the picture.

the Guitar is beautiful! I Like It!
very mysterious and ethereal! i love the atmosphere you build with this track. great use of detuned synths to build unease! so many great textures!
this was a great listen, well done!!
Thank you. I have been into music for a long time, but I rarely share it. I finally decided to show my large collection not long ago. And this participation in the jam is something new for me. I am very happy that my music evokes emotions in you and other people.

COOL ambiances, I completely relate them to the cover art!
The guitar was so smooth in the mix.
Great work!!!
TIME FOR THE COOL CATS
So, you made a curious track where you combined hip-hop, interesting dynamics, ambient and an extraordinary mesmerizing atmosphere of something large-scale and urban in a very wibbly-wobbly and cosmic style... Cool!
Thank you very much. I have liked space sounds childhood, I suspect that Depeche Mode is to blame for this XD
Very Resident Evil Save Room Like, Very Nice!
Continuing my Quest to Rate Submissions With Fee Ratings to Hopefully Get Some In Return
Nice, groovily atmospheric electronic textures. The liminal, lucid dream aesthetic is clear to Me, with textures earthing in and out, trying to cling to the dream.
Thank you very much ^^
Loved the vibe of this OST. It was so moody and cool, like walking through a rainy city at night or a lone ship drifting through space. Mixing was super clean too! Great work!
Big fan of Apparat, I can definitely hear the influence! The panning spread really helped to keep everything interesting and give it gesture. Keep it up! ヾ(＠⌒ー⌒＠)ノ
I love the mood. I listened to it before reading your description, and I have to say, to me it fits quite good the underwater atmosphere despite the synths! Great piece :)
very chill vibes from this one. It's no small feat that you were able to seamlessly transition from ambient to lo-fi hip hop while still preserving the spacey / cosmic vibe that ties the whole thing together. Also the synths and guitar work really well together
Thank you very much, glad to hear that. I'm happy that my idea worked out /ᐠ≽- ˕ •≼マ
Great ambiance track ! :) and nice use of the guitar ;)
=0 unexpected drop breat at 2.00
Ps: I like your picture !
I really liked your use of panning from ear to ear to make it more atmospheric!
Thank you very much. I think I’m bad at panorama so I always struggle with it. It's nice to hear that I'm making progress on this
