Track 6 – Rift Valley – Imphenzia 1 Track Per Day Release Marathon

-
UPDATE 2014-12-26: This track has been removed from SoundCloud, the marathon tracks are only downloadable for about a week. You can still get it from http://music.imphenzia.com.

Rift Valley is the sixth track in my complete 1 track per day #Imphenzia release marathon. Every day until I run out of tracks I will release one of my tracks as a free download and write some history behind it.

If you like my music, if you want to support it, and if you don’t want to wait for the entire marathon to finish – you can download all my music as MP3 and FLAC files from http://music.imphenzia.com for what you think it is worth ($2 – $50) – there are 109 tracks to grab =)

Rift Valley was composed in June 2006 and it's an uplifting electronic track with a cheerful melody. I don't think I've made any tracks like it before or after the release although I've always been a fan of the style.

Inspiration for Rift Valley came from the German trance producer "Ayla" - if you listen to his music you may find some similarities. The ReFX VanGuard preset lead that glides melodically in Rift Valley is even called Ayla since it has such a resemblance to his music.

A rift valley is a linear-shaped lowland between several highlands or mountain ranges created by the action of a geologic rift or fault. Since I'm a bit of a space freak I named the track after the rift valley Valles Marineris on Mars larger than any of such valleys on earth.

Rift Valley can be found on my album Illusion from 2008. You can get it along with 108 other tracks in 320 kbps MP3 files and very high quality FLAC files from http://music.imphenzia.com.

Give me a shout if you like the track, maybe I'll make a similar one one day.

Leaving The Outpost (Game Music)

-
It's tough to find time to make music these days, especially now that both my children are ill with eye infections and flu. Still, I managed to find a spare moment in the evening to compose this space inspired song. I decided to call the song "Leaving The Outpost" and I imagine a peaceful and relaxing space scene, maybe in an adventure, RTS, or MMORPG. The song features two sections. First a mellow melodic section with soft synth leads playing a beautiful melody and layers of filtered pads. The second part is more of an ambient soundscape with sweeping pads and scifi sounds. http://soundtrack.imphenzia.com/non-exclusive-music/leaving-the-outpost/ The track is available as a full length track (with a start and a finish) and a perfectly seamless loop. License it for your indie space game today =)

C64 remixing

-
Last night I spent a few hours starting to remix a classic old C64 SID-track to be released on remix.kwed.org which has turned out to be a good site for both constructive feedback and acting as a channel to promote Imphenzia as my last remix released there (The Fallen) has had around 3500 plays since February 2008. The remix I am working on now was originally driving me around the bend because the original has got an offbeat rhythm to it that I was determined to recreate before I add my remix twist to it, but I finally got it down... However... The sequencer doesn't quite line up the measures accordingly so it is difficult to arrange the track. Well see where it leads.
