To A Distant World Part I & II (Waldorf Iridium) Ambient Performance with Luftrum 25 soundset

[@johnyowca8763]

King of electronic music...

[@habichiblah7534]

State Azure - right up there with the very best of them. CBL, Basinski, The Orb, TD etc. Absolutely outstanding.

[@mehressagreen4615]

Thanks for the recs for other artists ;)

[@habichiblah7534]

@Steve Jones Me too. It was the sounds that got me, as in the noises, so new, so unlike anything I'd heard before. The 'how on Earth did they make that sound' curiosity. This State Azure stuff is absolutely outstanding.

[@habichiblah7534]

@Steve Jones Def right up with the very, very best. Never had any questions - I'd be there for at least a month, there are so many (re the set-up etc).

I swear, sometimes I think you sound more like Tangerine Dream than Tangerine Dream does! This is top drawer stuff you're putting out. Keep it up! :D

[@carmenkarmen8859]

Definitely

[@tubethis777]

I'd say a blend with Jean Michel Jarre as well, both my favourites (I also like Carbon Based Lifeforms, would like to see something on that line)

[@garyturner5204]

A beautiful ambient work here! While I am reminded a bit of some of my favorites like Michael Stearns, Steve Roach, Suzanne Ciani, Jean-Michel Jarre, Brian Eno, Vangelis, Steven Kindler, Constance Dembe, Christoper Caouette, Michael Hoenig, Peter Baumann, Johannes Schmoelling, Tangerine Dream (Edgar Froese, Christopher Franke and Paul Haslinger), Klaus Schulze, Giles Reaves, Jonn Serrie, Patrick O’Hearn, Garry Hughes, Eberhard Schoener, Michel Genest, Mark Isham, Ashra, and maybe a few more. :)

[@mrz80]

@@tubethis777 There's the occasional Richard Wright bleeding in there too, which is cool. Some of the first rock music I ever liked when I was a kid was Pink Floyd.

[@tubethis777]

@@mrz80 excellent taste

[@WarriorArtsIndonesia]

I've listened to Electronica from the best for 45 years and this set i.m.o is right up there. Took me on a deep internal journey. Outstanding work State Azure!

[@stateazure]

Many thanks! :)

Agreed, like listening to Equinox or Phaedra for the first time. Beautiful stuff.

[@FreddyFuFu]

the first sound immediatly hypnotized me.

[@CaidicusProductions]

Just came back from a class with a bunch of kids, hit resume on this and it calmed me right the heck down. Seriously such beautiful compositions here.

Glad to see O'Hearn, Serrie, and Eno on your list. Those 3 were my introduction to ambient electronic music in the 90s.

[@1957rayn]

I felt that we are space brothers when I read your list of my all time favorite artists. May you be blessed abundantly.

[@marcorodrigues80]

it was good to hear you again friend

[@Philandthesynths]

👍👍👍After hesitating again and again, this video convinced me to buy the Iridium!

[@CaidicusProductions]

This is just absolutely gorgeous. I bought an Iridium, yesterday. It'll be arriving in a couple of days and videos/presentations like this just make me so excited.

[@hermitthefrog8951]

Nice *LIGHT BULB!*

[@taurielv]

love on a real train regrowing old psychedelic vibes, hearted high hz in background with a final surrender on sea edge...tonight our spirit was enriched (again) with a new experience. thank you so much.

[@rtribby9565]

An absolute beautiful auditory journey! 🌟

[@Luftrum1]

Thank you for this amazing performance! What a beautiful composition, demonstrating the presets in all their glory...

[@stateazure]

Thanks for the excellent and inspiring sounds!

[@Lenamusic]

Stunning set 🙏🌌🌌🌌🌌🌌🌌🙏Thank you maestro

[@jadis777]

Simply majestic! A great composition with a stunning balance of choice patches, expertly conducted to produce this masterpiece. One of the best pieces of music I've experienced recently - congrats!

[@thenewcaptainmarigoldchann743]

MAGIC! Your creative blends are all yours, and in one take no less. You've become an icon unto yourself, so I don't think you need to bow to anyone in your field. I love what you've been doing & enjoy each new inspired expression as they come. You've added a bit of joy to this unstable little planet. Namaste' CM

[@JankoAcimovic]

I played your tracks last night on Spotify. Man, heaven sent. I never slept better.

[@ceogolfer]

I'm up to about 30 SA albums or single-track compositions I've purchased off Bandcamp or iTunes. So moved by your music. I've especially enjoyed To a Distant World Pts. 1-4. But, I stumbled on your visual composition here on the SA KZbin channel...this adds so much to the enjoyment to see HOW these incredible pieces are crafted. They flow from a gifted mind. So impressive. Keep them coming.

[@metaspherz]

As usual, a long and pleasant journey filled with many mental images.

[@aballalla9702]

I've listened to your music for hours and so rarely heard drums.... The track at 11 min is amazing!! Do more stuff with percussive elements, it adds a whole new layer to your already amazing music :)

[@stateazure]

Thanks! I used to do a lot more with percussion, but with stuff like this I'm trying to showcase the Luftrum soundset sounds and so prefer to keep additional stuff like that to a minimum.

[@WhiteErFox]

Ok, I don't know a thing about this setup but it looks like it came straight out of an 80's sci-fi movie. Love it.

[@BobSmith-qm8ek]

Perfectly captures the ethereal and brings it into this realm....

[@peterperigrino5269]

I’m overwhelmed with emotions......all I can say is..........Beautiful..............thank you very much ...................

[@guidovannes8388]

Always a beautiful composition with State Azure. Makes me feel like I'm in a different dimension on its self on a world yet to discover. A true piece of art, thanks for sharing this with the world.

[@garyclive1]

AWESOME M8

[@SoundmanCH]

Did I ever tell you that I love what you do? That was beautiful, thank you!

[@Cole-jb5ip]

I absolutely love this. Takes me back to the days when tangerine dream came onto the music scene. I pick up my aqoustic guitar when I listen to your music and play along using open tuning. It's fun

[@stateazure]

Thanks :)

Man, your music has been with me for the past 8 years , ever since so long Eternite, you take me places, thanks ! what a groing Talent you have

[@hjvarfjell]

Beautiful stuff. I'm really glad I stumbled across your channel. I was even more pleased when I discovered that you are on Spotify too. Now I can listen to your music without having to have KZbin open and active on my phone. Keep it up. This is great.

[@stateazure]

Many thanks!

[@hedderley]

I really enjoyed listening to your talent and creativity - thanks so much

[@ferrycollider]

I love the Luftrum sets for Diva. Had no idea they made one for Iridium. Pretty sweet.

[@bobjackson6524]

That was exceptional. Love aaaall the sounds, And the arrangement, delicate depth, and the beats. Spaceadelic. 💖🙏💖

[@lllewelll]

Almost like it could be "Blade Runner III" (or Blade Glider I). Mindblowing stuff

[@connorvibes648]

Divine, from start to finish.

[@DaveWrightKB9MNM]

Makes the work day go by a lot easier I can say that much

[@buddystewart2020]

I'm liking this one a lot. That bass. I used to listen to Vangelis and Tomita and Synergy a decent amount. I can hear a lot of familiar sounds in here, and I mean that as a compliment.

[@peterhsvensson4021]

I have been listening to this three times this afternoon/evening. I don't know what else to say.

[@Infinitebeam]

Just lovely, thank you for composing music that can take me up and beyond.

[@Ricardo-lb4so]

Excelent cinematic soundtrack. Thank you

[@generalgrevous2458]

I know it's all about the music but who is this mad genius?!

[@CALLofDUTYGAMER2312]

You are a very talented musician. Youre music helps me to paint my spiritual art. Its so beautiful so i had to subscribe. Youre music takes me to a place where I can be at peace with myself.

[@soundfx68]

Beautiful. (Like how more are using Bitwig!)

[@jacadito]

... discovered your music just 10 minutes ago ... blew me away ... already hooked ... will listen again and again ... and again ... many thanks for sharing this with the rest of the world !

Tranquility. 💜🙏

[@davidh7129]

Very Nice, all the way, cool evolution thru sections

[@bingandbongcouch]

Wasn't even planning on meditating but instantly went into one from this

[@stateazure]

Glad to hear it :)

[@FrankyGun]

I have never heard or experienced anything that would even come close to State Azure in my entire life... And I am a child of the 80s writing this... It is beyond believe that State Azure is not being recognized and appreciated more... To me, State Azure is the Emperor of Ambient EDM - full stop.

[@Slavic_Sky]

this is really soul touching music, excellent quality, really loving it especially Vangelis inspired parts

[@stateazure]

Many thanks!

[@albaugh1818]

The work that you compose is pure. Peace feels my ears and the soul is healed. Thank you so much! Words can't describe the magic you create. I started listening to your work in the shop and it's like some one else takes over. Creating new works of art. Thank you!!!!

[@KingHaggis]

Fantastic! I now always listen to your music when playing flightsims or spacesims or when modeling with Blender :-P

[@MartinStuertzer]

I just got the patches, great work!

[@stateazure]

Awesome! Thanks, Martin!

[@UncleJ.]

..was für eine coole Performance ... DANKE!

[@lycosa2000]

Not sure if you were proving it's worth with that Shine on You Crazy Diamond sound, but you damn sure nailed it. Loved this!

[@stateazure]

Thank you!

[@michaelvonfriedrich3924]

This is Fuckkkkkkkkking awesome!!!!! Wow, words can’t describe how good is!!!! It definitely speaks to your sole taking you to the past, present, and future giving you the feeling of immortality!!! WOW!!!!!!! So Impowering!!!

[@HaidoRossi]

I'm glad this spaceship reached remote Tasmania man, I really enjoyed the trip! Thank you captain, to many returns

[@stevenkramer3431]

I absolutely love this. There are the obvious homages in the presets: Floyd, Jarre, and Vangelis. Perhaps a tiny nod to Eno as well. But it's all put together in such an evocative way...seamless and natural. While I wouldn't describe it as sparse, nothing is too dense. This is going to be on the speakers and over the headphones a lot in the coming days.

[@majestic666-6]

Steven, you just hit the spot ! TD, Vangelis, Jarre, all coming together. Got shivers all over !

[@davidpridgeon7187]

Love your music! I'm far from home and I listen to this music when I'm working. It helps.

[@Eugene.g]

I got eargasm 😌 ♥

[@powermix24]

Killer Soundsets! Amazing work as always

[@stateazure]

Thanks, man!

[@slidingbits8543]

The sweeps and pads are so Jarre'ish in a good way and then by the time you hit polygoblin you're in a flow man. Really enjoyed your music, keep it coming..

[@akshay505]

Feels like heaven is here, great piece of music.

[@GJP1105]

This is my favourite music to relax to while working - and I gotta say, BS Earth Sky Sub gives me huge Xenogears vibes, in the best possible way!

[@karl.weaver]

A very easy subscription, great stuff, like being in Berlin!

[@ScudoCamper]

My all time favourite artist right now. Thanks dude. 😉

[@katzunio]

This is absolutely top notch stuff. Got to the end and starting instantly it over again.

[@AndyGabrielPowell]

A little homage to Pink Floyd detected among the Vangelis, TD, et al here; all very cleverly woven within an ethereal frame. Perfect for a little late night thought provoking meditation. One of your best works Sir.

[@Sydalesis]

Spot on, Very bluesy cyberpunk stuff. Mix of homage to Pink Floyd and Vangelis. Fantastic work.

[@Luftrum1]

Yes, the set is also heavily inspired by both (and in particular) Vangelis and Pink Floyd, Le Matos, Carbon Based Lifeforms, TD, Steve Roach and more...

[@clonecrow217]

I agree, very nice start, also a little "Brian Eno Dune" undercurrent too I feel. Lovely.

[@Fuchsia_tude]

@@Luftrum1 Somehow I always mix up Steves Roach and Reich...

[@CineTrance-Records]

this is pure sense of music. Iridium does the job wonderfully, when in good hands !

[@jozefhudec4646]

Amazing set! Thanks a lot for creating this.

[@WinfriedSitte]

I love what you do. You have continued the journey of etheral sonic bliss from where Vangelis and Tangerien Dream left it.

[@Rhzyfao]

thanks State Azure, this piece conveyed the perfect emotion and idea for this moment I am in. Wonderfully deep and rich atmospheres, defined with your palette of textures. Progressive and warm. Well done once again!

[@expandingknowledge8269]

Very nice integration of patches. Congratulations on your exquisite soundset my friend, I think you have a definite winner ! 🎹 🎶 😎

[@jamakamicka]

well naturally. essential listening. top sesh. the shores of freedom

[@warriorsofadifferentkind567]

Dude you are the best out there, I mean wtf? Love your work!

[@jeda4817]

Your music overwhelmed me - as always - thank you for transferring dreams into sound

[@michaelwilde2209]

My favourite synth also,extremely under rated ,great track too,as always

[@dolvaran]

You really make that Iridium sing!

[@marky3870]

Very well done. I listened to 20 minutes in and subbed. You have an ear for playing what adds something special but doesn't take away from the piece.

[@lifesynthtance]

Always an absolute pleasure to listen to your masterpieces. Simply superb.

[@blakec3323]

Stunning as always. What I love is there is so much going on within the music yet it sounds so simplistic and calming at the very same time.

[@TeamHash]

Awesome. reminded me of Bowie's Berlin days.

[@Tsumios]

Excellent example of space ambient I like to listen while working on something. Hope someties `i will make something in this genre!

[@ambientsession]

very nice dreamy session👌

[@SyntheticFuture]

When that beat drops.... chills... amazing job!

[@hfugmann]

Just listened to this again - this is really awesome.....

[@robstammers7149]
