"I stand before the sands of time, And gaze across a golden, endless sea. These shifting dunes, I’ll forever climb- And roam this land eternally free."
I've always had this feeling when I hear music like this that I can't quite put into words. A kind of optimism, that everything will be alright, humanity will prevail, and a golden age will come, fueled by innovation and idealism. And I somehow long for this with nostalgia, almost like I come from there
In Russia we call it "Nostalgia for an unfulfilled future", which implies a bright Soviet future, because Soviet dream was really strong in our hearts. Anyway, it's nice to see a dreaming person, even if he is far from you ;)
@@ЛюбительТрейлеров would you mind if you could type that out with it pronunciation in english as best as you can please ? i'd like to know that expression!
The weatherworn traveler looked up from his steps, his bare feet soaking into the wet sand with each stride. The Sandsea of Ha'saab stretched all around him now; its vast reaches of wet loam reflecting the dark sky as a mirror. That old man was right in warning him before he set out. This journey had truly been much further than he'd thought. Over the last five days, he'd come to realize the Obelisk was truly massive... a mountain in the distance, not a mere building to be approached. Checking his satchel he once again wondered if he'd brought enough, but it no longer mattered. He'd come too far to turn back now. He'd see the Oracle, or die trying.
@@Futurescapes-SciFiAmbience Thanks man. Bro, this is one of my favorite tracks from you - SO GOOD. Inspirational. Epic. Emotive. And yeah - that Sandsea thing is something I came up with... trying to assemble my thoughts into a book. Thanks for all you do, man.
Oh man. That chord progression is money. Sitting there with my breath held waiting for the tonic to come back while it goes on a journey. Mad dune vibes.
Thanks man! I love these kinds of chord sets. Every note from the minor key so satisfyingly resolving on the major tonic every time. It has such power and awe to it :)
This whole channel has been my soundtrack to reading the Dune Chronicles. Currently about to start God Emperor of Dune. I can no longer read the Dune books without this channel. The fit so perfectly together.
Did you finish it yet ? The God Emperor is really the consecration and achievement of Dune's Cycle. This is an amazing book. It would be so fantastic to rediscover all this cycle on this mix. You're a lucky one, good reading !
I went and listened to that soundtrack for the first time after reading your comment. I'll be listening to that soundtrack a lot for the next few days. Thx!
As I feel a sadness with this piece, there’s a mysterious, foreboding and eerie feeling of being drawn to something. The same melody repeats like it’s a calling to reveal a hidden truth of the earth.
Just wanted to share how much I appreciate and love the music you put up here. It's the only thing I put on when it's time to focus (read, work, whatever).
As a photographer and cinematographer, listening to this is like seeing images of a distant future passing through my mind. I can see the scenes, hear the world around them, and find inspiration for an epic that I will be directing/writing in the near future. Thank you for providing such inspiration, as well as this beautiful soundscape, which helps put my eager thoughts into something I could be describing or, in my case, seeing. I have no words to thank you enough; this is definitely the dream.
Thank you for the beautiful music you play it touches my heart my mind Bodie and soul thank you for that take care you're friend Mike from Fayette Ohio have a good day ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤I like the back ground
There are things that really force you, no matter how hard you try to keep them in yourself or within you, to say them and truly acknowledge them. You are one of the masterpieces remaining in this wondrous world. Yes, it is true, you are
What a mesmerizing piece! Love the low synth pitch bend harmony at 5:40 but to hear it in context go here: 5:34. Haunting and optimistic at the same time. I am on vacation right now, so studio time is not a go for me. At least I can listen here. Cheers! Brian
Heading home today! I will be in the studio tomorrow morning. Very excited. I should have been focusing on some ideas... but vacation you know?! I really do like the amount of movement / melody / change you give to your music. Anybody can stab a chord for 5 seconds and loop it for 12 hours. I like the amount of detail you put into your tracks. Cheers!
Oh my goodness I have just found your channel after many years of trying to find the perfect (for me) ambient dream scape music - and Brett WOW brother. You are a genius. This track is by far THE best one I've ever heard. Those chords wow! Keep up your amazing work. Not forgetting the superb visuals as well, they're the perfect match for the music. Thank you :)
Thank you! So glad you’ve found my channel then :) I’m a music composer so I love to make my music similar to the way we do for film and games :) Anyway welcome to the channel, glad to have you here!
oh damn, i was just looking for an ambient for reading, clicking on the first one that came up and now i see this was posted an hour ago :O but it's just as good as all the previous ones, so good job once again
No lyrics, or conventional structure, yet with the first notes and the waves of bass I'm immediately there. There in some distant world I dreamed about once. Seeing faces of characters I've created, being them even. Such beautiful work. How do you do this?
Thank you! So glad you’re enjoying it :) it’s a combination of emotional writing, textures and atmospheres, and finding the right amount of space to creat a musical environment :)
Okay, I've given it some thought, and I think I have something based on the imagery in this vid... 😃 Jimmy and his friends couldn't believe where they were... One moment, he and Cindy had gotten into yet another hapless argument, and the next thing the five kids knew, they'd been warped forward in time around 10,000 years, though they had no idea they were that far ahead yet... The control panel for his Chrono-Arch had been jarred as a result of their argument, causing it to glitch and warp them into the far future... They didn't realize it yet, but this was still Retroville; the vast majority of the city was underground at this point in time. The only structure above ground was this obelisk, which was heavily protected against a higher amount of UV rays, as opposed to the time they'd come from; it was coated with three feet of concrete on the outside, with no windows to be seen, and the obelisk was the only way in or out of the future Retroville. In order to enter the structure, one had to wave their hand in front of the base close to the ground, then step into a capsule shaped semi-transparent pod that emerged from the obelisk through an automated door and opened up automatically for the user. Once closed with the individual inside, it retreated back into the structure, then headed downward about 100 feet to city level. The reason the city had been previously bombarded with increased UV radiation was thanks to one of Jimmy's distant descendants in approximately the 60th century, who was just as intelligent as he is. One of his(the descendant's) experiments accidentally weakened the ozone layer of the Earth, and thus an increase of sunburn cases on a more frequent basis became serious enough for those in charge of Retroville to take action and start transferring it underground. However, as the kids had only just arrived in that time period, they had no idea all this took place in centuries and millennia past... Plus, the increased UV rays that currently hit the Earth made them feel hotter than on a typical summer day in their own time and as if they'd get burned easier. This was especially true for Carl, as he had the palest complexion out of all of them. But even Libby was at a moderate risk, despite her having a dark skin tone and thus the most melanin of all of them, as the UV rays were more concentrated by that point in time. After exploring for around ten minutes, they all started to feel the effects of the increased radiation, much to their dismay... Sheen, of course, tried to make light of the situation in a humorous way, but moments later couldn't deny that he started to feel a burning sensation on his skin, as did the rest of them... Thoughts...?? 😃😊
I love it! I feel like you’ve set things up for a whole novel. Multiple characters who’s lives and pasts we can dive into, Retroville past/present/future, the whole UV thing to battle with, the kids descendents being involved in something huge. So much to dive into!
thick warm strings - do you mind me asking where you got your strings from? Cheers - love this - I made something similar with those sort of swelling strings; but yours has hit perfectly, much better than mine..
Hey thanks glad you like it! The string swells you’re hearing are Spitfire’s Olafur Arnalds Chamber Waves. Though most of the warmth you’re hearing are from multiple other synth layers that are combined with the strings. I highly recommend all of Spitfire’s Olafur string libraries they’re amazing :)
Thanks glad you like it! There aren't any vocal sounds but if you mean the main chord progression at the beginning that's a combination of Obsession by Synapse Audio and Olafur Arnalds Chamber Waves by Spitfire Audio. There are other things layered in there as well and a bass synth but those are the main sounds :)
@@Futurescapes-SciFiAmbience wow that is convincing. Do you have a bandcamp or something? I listen on UA-cam but would gladly buy albums of your work. EDIT overlooked your bandcamp
Haha yep futurescapes-scifiambience.bandcamp.com :) and ya I think the combination of mid range from the synths and top end air from the strings sort of combines to sound a bit like voices :)@@navigator8222
Bro, I just wanted to focus on learning some stuff, but I can't seem to do it because my mind keeps drifting off to one of Proxima Centauri b's valleys.
Thank you for your continued support! I hope you enjoy this video and have a great weekend :)
Yet another pice of modern art at its finest! And this is indeed an amzing community Brett :). Waiting for this one to be available on Bandcamp :D
Thank you! It will be there soon enough! :)@@bobjam9907
Good place you
You can save all my videos to playlists :)@@paulsonsons425
You created this piece of art? I would call it Edge of Horizons.

Love this! “The Sandsea of Ha’saab” if that’s not from something and you just wrote it, that’s so cool! Could make a whole world out of that!

Thanks! Ya I love the emotion in this one :) Like Dune in space! @@lukeerickson80
Well done my friend, I enjoyed reading this piece!!! 😊🫶🌟
@@Futurescapes-SciFiAmbience Sure beats "The Sandsea of Ha'volvo." Both, of course, only found in Sweden. :)
One of the best days of the week is when FS uploads a new track :)
Thank you so much for your generousity! So glad you enjoy my work :)
@@Futurescapes-SciFiAmbience No problem! Grab yourself a coffee, tea, gin, whatever on me.

@@Futurescapes-SciFiAmbience yeah, really reminds me of "Herald of change" from Dune. From the first chord progression I was smiling. Good job!
Thank you! So glad you like it :) it’s basically Dune in space!@@hardcore-zadrot
yeah dawg. well said. exactly that
I think this is my favorite one of your tracks. Gives me huge Dune vibes. Very ethereal yet also powerful.
biochemical chains are enhanced when listening to your music!
Insanely good Dune chord vibes, holy it's good 🙌
This whole channel has been my soundtrack to reading the Dune Chronicles. Currently about to start God Emperor of Dune. I can no longer read the Dune books without this channel. The fit so perfectly together.
Awesome! Glad you're enjoying my music :) Happy reading!
My arrakiiissis. My DUUUUUUNEEEE
I've been using this channel for Mistborn and Red Rising series, very fitting also imo
Did you finish it yet ? The God Emperor is really the consecration and achievement of Dune's Cycle. This is an amazing book. It would be so fantastic to rediscover all this cycle on this mix. You're a lucky one, good reading !
@@hydrobaleinos3410 I have yet to start it. Children of Dune wasn't my favorite, but I only hear good things about god emperor
This reminds me of Blade Runner but in a less depressing way.
Tron too
Has his finger on the pulse of the Mother. Exquisite... as always.
Don't give up just forward to the future. Life is short for regret
It takes me to another dimension, namaskar from India
Perfect, just perfect. Flowing, semi-dark, semi-sombre, semi-sad, semi-epic, semi-dreamy, semi- evrything good in meditative atmospheric music.
Thank you!
This reminds me of the inception soundtrack by Hans Zimmerman. Stunning
I went and listened to that soundtrack for the first time after reading your comment. I'll be listening to that soundtrack a lot for the next few days. Thx!
very star citizen feel
Incredible as always. You haven't missed yet!
Thanks!
Love those big bass waves coming in! Really beautiful piece.
Thanks Starbase! :)
Totally agree ❤
Very relaxing start to my Monday work day ☺️
Happy to hear that!
I love this playlist! Just pleasant sounds... I've listened to it 3 times already

I love the visuals that your matching to the music! What's that font your using?
Thanks! The one in the video is called Despairs. I get most of my fonts from fontspace.com :)
The first song reminds me of the video game hyper light drifter
2:58-3:04 sounds like the music they used in Babylon 5 when changing scenes lol
reminds me of the more recent "Solaris" movie's theme music
"For his project, like a fallen obelisk, now struck him as possessing an extraordinary grandeur."
colors are mesmerizing
Gorgeously sublime - thank you.
Thank you!
Many thanks for the serene soundscapes....
Those strings make the hairs on my neck dance.
Me too!
As every time its so good!
EPIC!

Thanks! Yep everything on Futurescapes is original music by me :)

Epic sounds!!!
Okay, I've given it some thought, and I think I have something based on the imagery in this vid... 😃
Jimmy and his friends couldn't believe where they were... One moment, he and Cindy had gotten into yet another hapless argument, and the next thing the five kids knew, they'd been warped forward in time around 10,000 years, though they had no idea they were that far ahead yet... The control panel for his Chrono-Arch had been jarred as a result of their argument, causing it to glitch and warp them into the far future... They didn't realize it yet, but this was still Retroville; the vast majority of the city was underground at this point in time. The only structure above ground was this obelisk, which was heavily protected against a higher amount of UV rays, as opposed to the time they'd come from; it was coated with three feet of concrete on the outside, with no windows to be seen, and the obelisk was the only way in or out of the future Retroville. In order to enter the structure, one had to wave their hand in front of the base close to the ground, then step into a capsule shaped semi-transparent pod that emerged from the obelisk through an automated door and opened up automatically for the user. Once closed with the individual inside, it retreated back into the structure, then headed downward about 100 feet to city level.
The reason the city had been previously bombarded with increased UV radiation was thanks to one of Jimmy's distant descendants in approximately the 60th century, who was just as intelligent as he is. One of his(the descendant's) experiments accidentally weakened the ozone layer of the Earth, and thus an increase of sunburn cases on a more frequent basis became serious enough for those in charge of Retroville to take action and start transferring it underground.
However, as the kids had only just arrived in that time period, they had no idea all this took place in centuries and millennia past... Plus, the increased UV rays that currently hit the Earth made them feel hotter than on a typical summer day in their own time and as if they'd get burned easier. This was especially true for Carl, as he had the palest complexion out of all of them. But even Libby was at a moderate risk, despite her having a dark skin tone and thus the most melanin of all of them, as the UV rays were more concentrated by that point in time. After exploring for around ten minutes, they all started to feel the effects of the increased radiation, much to their dismay... Sheen, of course, tried to make light of the situation in a humorous way, but moments later couldn't deny that he started to feel a burning sensation on his skin, as did the rest of them...
