This is a series of my music mainly influenced by 80’s and 90’s synth genres.
MMXXII – GREGORIAN CHANT MIX
Some of you might remember the Romanian-German band or more of a musical project, Enigma, who stormed the charts during the 90’s with hits like “Sadeness (Part 1)” and “Mea Culpa”. They mixed Gregorian chants with ambient style electronic music and that was something new at that time. I’ve been a great fan of them and now inspired to create a similar kind of composition, especially when I managed to find a perfect clip of Gregorian chant to be mixed. So here it is, “MMXXII”!

BEYOND THE HORIZON – SYNTHWAVE MIX
The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) is providing different kinds of media content (images, videos etc) but also actual audio clips of communication from historic spaceflights and current missions. Those audio clips inspired me to compose this piece with the synthwave vibe. “Roger roll, Discovery!”

ALAN WALKER x IMANBEK – SWEET DREAMS (Remix)
In my opinion remixes can be something completely different, even different genre. With that in my mind, this is my entry to the Sweet Dreams Remix Contest organized by Alan Walker with Imanbek and FL Studio.

CITY OF DREAMS – ORIGINAL MIX
Let’s jump into a different field and leave media composing for a while. I started to wonder why not trying something different, it could be refreshing… Dream trance or dream house was a music genre which was quite popular in the mid-90’s. Some of you might remember Robert Miles (RIP) and his megahit “Children”. To the present days the genre has evolved to uplifting trance (Armin van Buuren, Above & Beyond etc). Anyways here is some of that mid-90’s vibes…
