"Universalis" is an album of soundscapes that evoke an intergalactic journey.
The compositions began on a beautiful cold and rainy day, conditions that often inspire my creative process and are typically the most conducive to composing music for me. From that starting point, I developed a narrative for an imaginary sci-fi film, something I truly enjoy doing with most, if not all, of my musical works. "Universalis" is no exception.
It represents a voyage into the vast, unknown, and mysterious realms of outer space, a sonic exploration of the cosmos through an imagined cinematic lens.
The idea behind "Universalis" was to create a soundtrack for something as wondrous, magical, and full of secrets as the universe itself. I’ve always been passionate about the cosmos and its magnitude, and this fascination is reflected throughout the album’s eight tracks.
To bring this vision to life, I recorded and performed a wide range of synthesizers, aiming to emulate “the sound of space”. In doing so, I drew inspiration from many of the artists I admire, such as Tangerine Dream, Vangelis, Brian Eno, and many others.
