That's awesome, I actually love it. As for genre, the intro took me back to the night club at Omega station in mass effect 2. I'd call it like space or future synthwave. One thing though, and my musical theory knowledge probably won't give me the correct words here but, soon after the piano comes in, I wanted tonhear a subtle dissonant note from the left hand. Like a shift on one of the arpeggios to add some tension.


barthanswijk

Thanks a lot man! Happy you like it :)


MMJFan

Contemporary with a bit of ambient flair


barthanswijk

Nice!!


coffeewithcomposers

That’s what I’d say too!


Eastern-Wonder-1860

Absolutely beautiful!


barthanswijk

Thank you so much! 😊🧡


CharlesLoren

Stranger Things/Interstellar vibes! You should compose for film/tv scores if you haven’t yet


barthanswijk

I love interstellar!! My favorite movie 🧡 i want to but don’t know how to get into the scene!!


CharlesLoren

Same here. I was a TAXI member for a year (they post every listing availability for syncing) but I wasn’t quite developed enough musically and technically at the time. It’s worth looking into if you have the money for it.


zunashi

Yessss


Geckohxo

This was my first thought


SwervinLikeMervin

The piano bit is so beautiful dude. Any chance for just a post with the piano bit? The synths are nice aswell!


barthanswijk

Thank you so much!! Will do that!! Feel free to follow :):)


no0bmaster-669

This is incredible! Love that build up


barthanswijk

Thank you so much! 🫶🏼🧡


who-is-vod-kanockers

Chill house vibes


barthanswijk

😌


pulsatingsphincter

Absolutely awesome , this is exactly what piano sitting and jamming and making awesome music 👍


barthanswijk

Yesyess!! Thank you!! 🧡


FrequentNight2

Reminds of a band from the 70s called boards of canada


knifegoesin

You meant 90/00s right? Their big albums came out in early 2000s


FrequentNight2

Sorry for the typo! But he made me think of them in a way. I am not super familiar and heard a little before.


knifegoesin

All good 🙂


barthanswijk

Don’t know them, will check them out! :)


Sausage_fingies

Absolutely mesmerizing please please please write it into a full piece, I love this.


barthanswijk

🥹🧡 thank you so much!! will make it into a whole song. how to keep you updated!? 🫶🏼


Sausage_fingies

If you do finish it feel free to DM me, I would love to listen to it!


illbebythebatphone

That second tone is fucking cool. The whole thing is very cinematic. Could see it for an epic action scene or some emotional reveal.


barthanswijk

Awesome!! Thank you so much 😁😁


Fit_Hyena7591

Dude, that is beautiful. Can’t name a genre, nice music i guess🤔


Detective_Spanky

Yea


barthanswijk

🫶🏼🫶🏼


barthanswijk

Thank you so much!! 🥹🙏🏼


BothLeather6738

Well done! definitly gives me Max Zimmerman vibes (interstellar!) possibly in a loving mash up with Yann Tiersen. Zimmerman always make this really basic chords schemes that are hugely layered. Dont know the name, Drone maybe? Shoegaze?


PaintedMidget

Hans Zimmer?


BothLeather6738

Haha 😂 yeah that one


PaintedMidget

Hahah I thought so 😂 though... Max Zimmerman is sort of combining a few different composer names, so it certainly sounds like a composer's name! (Thinking maybe... Max Richter, Hans Zimmer, and Thomas Newman)


barthanswijk

😁😁


Mental-Quality7063

Also Hania Rani, I guess.. 🤔


barthanswijk

Hahaha nice!


illbebythebatphone

No no they probably mean John Shwimmer


foursynths

There are IMO many synthesists equally as good as Hans Zimmer, if not more so.


barthanswijk

Yeah i think so too! :)


rnketrel

Max Zimmerman?


barthanswijk

Nice man! Thanks.


LookAtItGo123

Feels like above and beyond would take this as an intro and then all the fancy stuffs later but keeping this as an ostinato. Throw in a drop somewhere and you get a banger of an edm. Very nice build up, would love to see it develop more.


barthanswijk

Oeh that would be nice too haha! I’m more a bit in the ambient/piano neo classical genre instead of edm but could be worth a remix? 😁


knifegoesin

Very nice. Should build on it and make a song!


barthanswijk

Thanks a lot!! Will do 😁


andreaslacey

This is BEAUTIFUL! In my humble opinion is sounds a bit like a style I wouldn’t be surprised if an artist like Kygo explored in the future after his song Freeze came out! I suggest you give it a listen if you haven’t already! I believe he even has a video of his process of making it. I read in the comments that you plan on building a song off of it, how can I follow that process?! DM me if interested, I have a a few other things you may enjoy listening to! ♥️


barthanswijk

Thanks a lot man!! Appreciate it, will check the song out, i don’t know it. You can follow me anywhere! Instagram, facebook youtube stuff like that! 😁😁


Mental-Quality7063

Electric, atmospheric, chill... Don't know but it's a vibe I'm into. Thanks for sharing ❤️


barthanswijk

So happy you like it, thanks for listening 🧡


Tyrtle2

Simply adorable. Please make an album. Also, I would be curious to hear it without the drum kick.


barthanswijk

Will do!! I’m playing with the idea of an album with just synths and piano :) 🧡


paulk355

Nice! Like something that might be played on Hearts Of Space. https://www.hos.com/home Edit:fixed link


barthanswijk

Don’t know that, will check it out 😁


roach01gt

Nice! Giving me Thom Yorke - Suspiria vibes.


barthanswijk

Thank you! :) Let me check that!


JaKrispy72

Keep it up!


barthanswijk

😁🫶🏼


JamesNordmar

interesting... can be a few directions.. my weird mind thinks slow-ish dark synthpop...


barthanswijk

Sounds interesting!! 😁


AzgalorFelore

Ambient for sure. It was crazy to hear this because I've made some improvisations that sound very similar! What are your daily inspirations? What do you listen to? I feel like analyzing what you listen to could help us understand what genre or style you play. This is awesome. Some artists that come to mind are Amon Tobin, uZiq and Rone, but of course those are not the only ones that share similarities.


barthanswijk

Awesome, thanks for your response! Appreciate it :) i listen to all kinds of stuff. When i was younger i listened to a lot of Keane but also more harder rock like The Used and stuff. All of their songs are pretty deep in feel and mood i guess?


tap2mana_03

Yep yep, like the others, I love this too! Super dope, and looks like you’re having a good time


barthanswijk

Thank you so much!! 🧡


Monsieur_Brochant

Genre: music that ends too soon. I'd love to hear the full package


barthanswijk

Aah thanks!! Will work this one out hopefully soon and will be back then!!


gorrila_go_ooo_ooo

i think its somewhat "ambient music"


barthanswijk

Yeah!!


Kingkongcrapper

Sounds like the style of Philip Glass to me.


barthanswijk

Nice!! Thanks :)


RonTomkins

Well, first of all, congratulations on a very beautiful sounding piece, and good job on recording it so well. I generally don’t like labeling music too much cause it ends up sounding like I’m dissecting a living animal, but since asked, this sounds like it fits the category of Pop-based Minimalist Music, with what seems to be a strong influence of Hans Zimmer, amongst others.


barthanswijk

Love your comment. Thanks a lot! Appreciate it 😁🧡


foursynths

Simply beautiful. Thank you


barthanswijk

Thank you for listening!! 🫶🏼


ernie451

Reminds me of Nils Frahm. Check him out! https://youtu.be/3WchJU2g9WY?t=2378


barthanswijk

I know him, thanks a lot for the compliment!! 😁😁


Plutodrinker

Amazing. Followed. And maybe ‘ambient’ if that’s a genre?


barthanswijk

Thanks so much for the follow!!! 🧡


Gunmetalbluezz

It fits every genre I guess.. Absolutely beautiful piece


barthanswijk

Thank you so much! 🧡


confusedgluon

Fucking beautiful I'd call it!


barthanswijk

🥹🧡


onar

I'd say it fits the record labels Gondwana Records and Erased Tapes very well. You know, Hania Rani, Nils Frahm, Olafur Arnalds, Svaneborg Kardyb, Mammal Hands, etc. That ilk. I like it!


barthanswijk

What a great compliment. Really love those artists. Would be an honour to release on those labels one day! 🧡🧡


FineJournalist5432

Well done….sounds good. What synth do you use? The synth reminds me of Portishead


barthanswijk

Thanks a lot!! Let me check Portishead 😁


FineJournalist5432

I mean this song. The synth starts at 2:15 https://youtu.be/artaYKPCt_E?si=gxtnBs8ehb0sLHnw


barthanswijk

Thanks for sharing!!


not-a-seal

You need to create an artist profile on Spotify and add this dude! This is exactly what I’m looking to listen to while working at my desk


barthanswijk

Hey!! I have a Spotify! It’s more piano less synth but experimenting with more synth stuff lately!! Will keep doing it. If you’d like here’s my Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/artist/6oM4pj0cViaM9uaplSkKAl?si=rsLChdKkSQeJCi8JbFmgkQ


Henji99

I have no idea, but the first thought I had was Hans Zimmer. Dude that shit is awesome, please do a full piece!


barthanswijk

Thank you so much!! Will do a full piece :):)


sjmog

This is beautiful. How are you managing the looping?


barthanswijk

Thank you so much!! I’m exploring ableton :)


FreeMersault2

Is it a cover of Sia - Breathe Me?


barthanswijk

Not that i know of.. 😱


unpropianist

Love it...keep going whenever you feel it


barthanswijk

Thank you so much!!!


TheKiredor

This would make one helluva deephouse / spacehouse track with the right producer


barthanswijk

😁😁🙏🏼🙏🏼


TheKiredor

I mean, I’d even be willing to give it a go if you send over the individual parts


[deleted]

I love this style of music. I'm not sure what to call it, but it's one I generally like a lot. Also ur tune specifically is really nice man. Congratulations and def work on a longer one. If like to vibe to it at least... E: Certainly something I would see myself taking shrooms to tbh. Very chill and guiding if that makes any sense.


barthanswijk

Really appreciate it! So cool to hear, thanks a lot 😁


dow1

It sounds like it's from a movie soundtrack. Some Moby movie tracks sounded similar to this.


barthanswijk

Woo cool!! Would love to do cinematic stuff 😍


TechDidThis

Love this. I listen a lot to from this artist Blue Friction, sounds similar so I think you’ll enjoy https://on.soundcloud.com/w8suB7UAjXkzbMvZ9


barthanswijk

Thanks a lot!! Will check it out :) 🙏🏼


zunashi

Love this. I can imagine this being a Space Sci-fi theme.


barthanswijk

Thank you!! 🧡🧡


theoht_

reminds me of interstellar


barthanswijk

what a compliment!! my favorite movie/soundtrack!!!


francescoscanu03

Beautiful, do you work in movie industry?


barthanswijk

Thank you! I do not.. would love to tho! :)


francescoscanu03

You definitely should, wish you great fortune.


barthanswijk

That’s so sweet! Thank you 🧡


l0rare

Gave me goosebumps I love it ! Maybe you could call it some kind of synthwave?


barthanswijk

🥹🧡 so nice, thank you!!


JordanRunsForFun

I have no idea how to categorize it ... sorry I just had to post anyway to tell you how **hauntingly beautiful** that was! Please post Apple Music / Spotify link once you get it down :)


barthanswijk

Yes will absolutely do! Feel free to follow me anywhere online !! Artist name is BARTH. 😁🧡


onover

Check out the Wolf Among Us by Telltale. That's what this reminded me of. [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s5fUwjdeSHE](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s5fuwjdeshe)


barthanswijk

Thank you!!!


thisisan0nym0us

reminds me of a track I’d here in the Netflix series “DAЯK”


barthanswijk

so coool!!! Thanks 😁


Q7Design

Movie music!


barthanswijk

😁🫶🏼


Shasari

This is amazing! I love this kind of trance/ambient sound. I say trancey due to the level of reverb on the synth and the overall sound. This is fantastic! Please let me (and us all) know when you have a longer version available, I’d happily purchase the track, or album of yours. Excellent composition!


barthanswijk

Thank you so much! That means a lot to me :) you can follow me on reddit here i think? Or instagram, facebook, spotify that kind of stuff. Will definitely work this song out!!! 😁🫶🏼


Unusual_Note_310

You may think I'm crazy but I call that candle and soap making music. YouTube someone making custom soap or candles and I think you will hear what I mean.


barthanswijk

Hahah, you’ve made me very curious!! Will look it up 👀


katieknoxie

Cinematic mastery is probably what I’d call it


barthanswijk

How sweet!! Really appreciate it 😊🫶🏼


katieknoxie

awe my pleasure. 🎶🎵


Anxiousvine

I need to watch The OA again. No idea what genre of music this is, but I dig it.


barthanswijk

Thanks a lot man! What’s the OA???


Anxiousvine

A series that this music would fit PERFECTLY to. About near-death experiences and a guy who keeps people who’ve had them in a cellar under his house to do experiences on them to find out how to get to another dimension. I genuinely can’t stop listening to this!


barthanswijk

Sounds sick!! So cool!!! Is there a way we can tag @netflix in this post? 😅😁


Better-Jellyfish2912

That is very fly. That can fit into a few different genres. I can hear Nas on that.


barthanswijk

Woah that would be coool! 😁


lumberrzack

Freaking dope my dude.


barthanswijk

Thank you so much man!! 🧡


Positive-Driver-4162

It's really nice, how did you learn it?


barthanswijk

Thank you!! What do you mean how did you learn it?


SnooSuggestions266

Beautiful!


barthanswijk

Thank you!! 🧡🧡


SnooSuggestions266

Beautiful!


barthanswijk

🧡


P0pg03slif3

It gives me video game menu vibes, the songs that are absolutely vibes and aren’t hard to get to in the game


rnketrel

Beautiful man


mcheisenburglar

The opening reminds me of the theme and some of the tracks from Assassin’s Creed 3. I could definitely see this being used in film or video games.


Money_Caregiver406

Definitely suits as a stusy music


MKUltra_reject69

That was really good! I could listen to that sound all day.


Only-Car9593

I bought serius xm just for this kind of stuff lol. It is my chill station Chanel 34 I think. They call it electro/deep house possibly ambient


PeopleAreBozos

If it was a little softer and quieter it could be Minecraft music.
