An empty landscape. Desolate. The martian landscape waits patiently for the first foot prints. SpaceX is keen to design the infrastructure to get humans to Mars, and bootstrap the beginnings of a colony. It will happen sooner than the rest of the industry would expect.
I've made this music to explore the emotions we might feel looking across the Martian landscapes and to try and describe Starship Landfall.
Ambient. Chill. Ethereal. A series of soundscapes from my album, Landscapes.

Inspired in part by a moody painting by Ricky Gervais that he posted to X on November 2 2024, and in some part inspired by bleak and liminal spaces in London as seen in Slow Horses (Apple TV), this is the first track using a Moog MOTHER-32 sequence, fed through a Hologram Electronics Microcosm, to create a moody ambient soundscape. This track first posted to X on November 4 2024.

This is an idea, between two other ideas. A short journey. Almost ephemera, but I wanted to share it. As I recorded this into Logic, the volume started to lower. Was I doing this? I let the lowering volume dictate the natural end to the track.

Hi guys, This is a one minute teaser of Landscape 1. It was created using one standard midi keyboard and one Roli Seaboard Block keyboard which can produce a lot of expression. The original Landscape 1 track was made using the same technique. Thanks and cheers, Voigtstr

This is an unboxing of a 7th generation iPad for home schooling and entertainment purposes. Each child will have an iPad set up with learning material so they can do remote classroom activities via Zoom meetings and Google apps. Entertainment such as Netflix will also be installed.

Live Looping using ROLI Lightpad Block. The music is loosely based on Landscape 1, by me. Let me know if you like this and I can make more of them. This is not how the rest of my music is produced. Landscapes 3-4 are produced on an M-Audio Keystation 61-es connected to Logic Pro X on MacOS.

Wow, I completely forgot about this channel!! Glad to have you back :)
Glad to be back! I got distracted there for a bit. But I've bought some new kit, and I'm keen to try and wrangle some ambient or at least mellow tones out of it. I really appreciate you pouncing on the channel so soon after publishing the video.
Beautiful & fitting.
Thank you very much for commenting! The music conveys stillness a bit doesn't it? The spaces between the note strikes certainly have an effect.
Actually I was thinking of another piece ua-cam.com/video/jwSUOqpW1p0/v-deo.html regarding the stillness... thanks for listening and enjoying!
Wow , beautiful ✴︎
Thank you so much
10/10
Nope need birds and sunshine sounds to dark for me
Not gonna find birds on Mars... not for a long time... This track was inspired my Martian landscapes. Cheers!
And to those who have enjoyed this track, Thank You! I love you all!
To the many people who have listened to this track in the last few months, how did you find the track? Did UA-cam recommend it to you? Cheers, Voigtstr
Note to logic Pro users. Check Automation when reusing a project file as a basis for a new song... that's why the volume tapers off on this track :)
Is this from a Mars rover?
Hi, and thanks for the question! Yes, the Curiosity rover took this panorama. The image is taken from www.jpl.nasa.gov/spaceimages/details.php?id=PIA23623 I cropped a narrow section and darkened it a bit to make it moodier, and the video simply pans across the image. Thank you for your interest. Cheers! Voigtstr
So short, like a teaser for a track. Makes me hope for more.
It's great for background on some video, but for the song... There's a lot of high pitched noises and stuff, I think that if you reduce them and add some more basses you'll create a great lo-fi style -song- (audio?...) I like some parts but some are a bit more oversounded or in some parts the sound effects just doesn't fit at all. Don't take it as a criticism, that's just my own opinion. 😁
Hi Tony, I very much appreciate you taking the time to leave your thoughts here. I think after I finish the current album I will indeed look into lo-fi, music to study to type music. The current album is very much inspired by the imagery of the landscapes. For me that meant high pitched windy noises and the sound of ice tinkling under the regolith. I guess not very scientific since the air on mars is one - one hundredth that of Earth's atmosphere so any sound travelling in that medium would be similarly reduced in intensity. I invite you to listen to the other songs on this channel and provide a critique of them. I very much value any opinions that people would care to share with me. You might just influence the next album.
Yes, of course, it's your style and it's great, the video with music overall is great! Thumbs up!
I love how chilled this track is Simon. Then the tension at about 2:25, like something might pop out of the surface at any moment.
Thanks Tim for taking the time to comment, I really appreciate it. I'm working on more music. The next tracks will hopefully convey what it would be like for Spacex's Starship to enter Mars orbit, aerobrake and then land.. I suspect there will be more tension to come! Cheers from Voigtstr!
Lovely!
The music makes it feel like someone is opening a mystery box in dark Hogwarts
Let us know what you think of it after you have used it for a bit
10/10 would recommend! It glides well over the carpet, has great suction, and is self righting if dragged too quickly around a corner or furniture. It's our second one. Our older one finally broke one of its heads after 10 years and we figured it was time for a new one. In other news, the keyboards are back up in front of the monitor, plan to chip away at a few tracks on Tuesday day.
Cheryl would add that the only downsides she's come across are that the power and cable retract buttons are much smaller than previous models, so much so that instead of mashing the buttons with her feet she actually has press them with a finger. Everything else has been positive.
@@voigtstr Thank you for the update. Good to know!
Bonus, it arrived before Easter.
indeed! One child already had one, so I actually had to get two iPads for the twins. When virtual classes start, the kids will be ready!
I am guessing the unboxing video is just a vehicle to showcase your music :)
Well I couldn't just have silence whilst doing this. It's a nice track though don't you think?
@@voigtstr Still waiting for the album
@@bethanygraham427 Here is a question Bethany, does Elysium Planitia fit in with Landscapes 1-4? Theme and tone etc wise does it fit into "The Album"
@@voigtstr I would hold it over for your second album...
I hope you are well. This is beautiful.
Interesting work. It has some great unexpected twists.
Nice...ambient tunes coming through!
Builds nicely.
Great piece! Disappointed when it ended. The complexity is increasing with each new track.
Thank you Bethany. I really appreciate the support!
Feeling like I'm watching a science fiction movie. I bet Hollywood will send you an offer soon
That's sweet Jing! I'd be happy to provide music for Hollywood :)
It would be nice wouldn't it! I better write a lot more content for them to choose from.
Great piece! My favourite so far.
Many thanks Bethany! With Christmas coming up the next track may not be available until January. Landscapes 1 is now available on voigtstr.bandcamp.com/releases and store.cdbaby.com/cd/voigtstr . Not entirely sure how many singles should go up before the album. I figure keep forging ahead until there are 7-10 tracks total and get the album happening.
My favourite. Love the ringing sound
Thanks Jing! I'm glad you like it! How would you describe the difference between Landscape 2 (demo) and Landscapes - Landscape 2?
Hi Jing, if you would like a sneak peak at Landscape 5, message voigtstr at facebook and I'll send you a direct link so I can see what you think of it! Cheers, Simon
So when is the album coming out?
In another six to eight tracks? :)
@@voigtstr Get writing then.....I always loved this sort of music, even 30 years ago...so looking forward to getting the album.
Much better now!!
The sound has been tweaked. Loudness is up. Please compare to the original track and let me know what you think. Cheers, voigtstr.
Wonderful! Very emotive music.
