Terraforming Colony - 'Hadley's Hope' - LV-426 (4 hour Dark Ambient)

It's Alien Day today 26/4 and I wanted to do something special to mark the occasion, so it seems the perfect time to release a 4 hour meditative dark ambient piece for you all. This piece is inspired by my love for the movies, Alien and Aliens and upcoming new movie Alien: Romulus.
Hadley's Hope was a human terraforming, research and mining colony that was established on LV-426 in 2157. The settlement was co-financed by the Extrasolar Colonization Administration and the Weyland-Yutani Corporation, and by 2179 maintained a constant population of 158 colonists. It was subject to a major Xenomorph infestation that ultimately all but destroyed the complex.

Are there any plans to release this one on Bandcamp? I would love to throw some money to add it to my library. I love it.

[@stateazure]

@@geogaddi6215 I just released this yesterday on my Bandcamp

[@lytb1284]

Can u release this on Spoty please?@@stateazure

[@wilfyjon2153]

I've listened to this countless time whilst painting 🎨🧙‍♂️ Absolutely awesome to get lost in the environment!!!!

[@dEUSASTRA]

An ambience of intense atmospheres and sounds.

[@earlgrey2130]

Im sitting in a foreign country, all alone, eating breakfast while the sun comes up after a sleepless night of existential dread and despair. This sound gives me the first moments of emotional calm after multiple days of pain. Thank you for that.

[@jwawa17]

I've been there. God bless

[@redwind3475]

Been there for the past 10 years. It. Does. Not. Get. Better. Listen to more State Azure, and leave while you can!

[@Philandthesynths]

@@redwind3475 same for (too) many years, left, now feeling much better….

[@maximodark23]

God bless. Ambient is really great and inspiring. My fav..

[@machinegods]

I love these pieces. They help me sleep and keep me company while I read. Thank you for creating such beautiful, immersive art.

[@ceogolfer]

This is dark, wonderfully orchestrated, with something sinister just waiting for the right time. Makes me want to jump on the first ship back to Cadwell’s Reach, or warp to someplace safer, like Beyond the Gates of Kunlun back on Earth.

[@pretzeL1945]

Oh, this is one is a gem for sure! Your ambient mixes are in a league of their own. Some of the best on the Internet! EDIT: the radio chatter samples keep stealing my attention. They are awesome! I keep trying to remember which part of the movies they are from :)

[@davidmagicdrummer9641]

Soy músico, baterista y hace años, aparte de ser una persona especialista en el Ritmo, este tipo de músicas, me relaja me da una Sensación de Paz, libertad,calma y ayuda a mí Ritmo interno, sincronizarlo con el Ritmo del Cosmo,en su Totalidad! Gracias por compartir! Hari Om Ra!❤

[@Gillymonster18]

Spiritual sequel to Cadwell’s Reach? Sign me up. Your ambient pieces are so good. I listen to Cadwell with enough frequency that KZbin started putting it in my recommended around the time I start closing down for the evening. I imagine this track will get similar treatment.

[@Philandthesynths]

Same for me. Listening to it for hours….

[@tapeexperiments]

Looks and sounds amazing!

[@d1zz3l]

After all these days, all I can say is that this is the best thing I've listened to in a while. Full immersion. I can't just turn off this track xDDD

[@siberianflutemusicbystephe1397]

Thank you. This is wonderful.

[@lighghtrite2261]

The storytelling in here is so cool. Thank you, State Azure!

[@stuartmalin661]

Four hours! The journey has just begun...

[@zekehayward7643]

Good afternoon Pat and State Azure fans!

[@Lilmisscostumedrama]

Good afternoon!

[@stateazure]

A shorter version of this track is now available via Bandcamp for free here: stateazure.bandcamp.com/track/hadleys-hope-lv-426

[@nyppy]

Just listened through all of it while tinkering, it's great for staying focused. I think I'll go back to this one often.

[@chamberscmt]

Super peaceful, this must be after the colonists discover the alien ship but before the space Marines show up. I've been wanting to add to my sleep playlist for a while, this is going to give terrific sleep. Thank you SA!!

[@GenX-AfterDark]

Great job! Love the soundbites.

[@GirlfightClub]

Thank you! Needed new sleep music ❤

[@stateazure]

Just watch out for those facehuggers under your bed.

[@GirlfightClub]

@@stateazure 🙅🏼‍♀️🫣

[@jimjamz.]

I've specifically listened to Hadley's Hope ambiences before so i found it quite fitting to see you had also conducted a piece on it too. It's very nice to hear your take on it. Thank you SA.

[@MALisBAD]

Beautiful atmosphere

[@DarkWingNuck]

This looks sick! Cant wait to smoke a fatty and listen to this later. I already know its going to be amazing. Art work is👌 🔥

[@hevosenpaska114]

The BEST thing if you have trouble getting sleep. Listen to this.15/10!!!!🫡❤️❤️

[@dubtec]

Great 👍

[@obsidianspectre4281]

I love you for this.

[@djusdj]

One of the best. State Azure

[@Dave.Weiss.]

Utterly glorious Happy Alien Day!

[@eltanan]

This is really, really good. Perfect mix of Aliens and Blade Runner ambience. At least I think I detect Blade Runner in there too. Maybe just my imagination. In any case, I love this.

[@stateazure]

It might be the slow pitching sine wave that comes in sometimes, it was used in Alien (sound of the infirmary) and iirc it was also used quite a bit in Deckard's Apartment. It's a wonderful and weird sound, and I always liked that both Ridley Scott's movies used it. It somewhat connects the technology of the two movies and puts them into one universe, perhaps.

[@eltanan]

@@stateazure Yes, I think that's exactly it. That slow low sine wave will always feel like Blade Runner to me.

[@moonandmelodies]

Awesome trip , you create amazing alternative world ! 👏🏻👍

[@nolake]

Fascinating and captivating. What a ride.

[@Philandthesynths]

Listened to Cadwell’s so many times….I think this one will be the same…😅👏👏👏👏👏

[@ilyandilymusic]

Within the first minute or so I thought "man this would be awesome with some commentary or voice over of some sort". Then the radio transmissions come in and I was like "oh yea, SA knows what is up!"

[@lenagorenko]

Thank you for the music!

[@daviHuggMonster]

this is....marvelous

[@korielus]

Listen to this over and over when im doing AI imaging stuff, time just flys by.

[@timsubscriptions3806]

Do you also create the graphics/animation/mini-movie? I love the Alien movies especially the last two. I'm glad this piece is less intense, I like it's relaxing quality. Very nice.

[@stateazure]

Thanks! Yes I did all the animated layers and text.

[@SturlaDannevig]

Hello from Norway. I love this one💙

[@amangogna68]

Great music !

[@ed-musicproductions]

Très bonne ambience.

[@darrenelkins5923]

Best way to fall asleep is to trick the mind into thinking I’m in an alien dystopic wilderness. Weird how that works.

[@Cyberchill3]

Goodnight every one ⭐

[@AlanC2020]

Love this. Will it make its way to Bandcamp?

[@stateazure]

Soon!

[@vichtify]

Reemind me my state of mind when I was in varanasi, holy place in India

[@d1zz3l]

Great sound. Perfect idea based on a film. I like it. What if make the set more diverse? Can it be used to narrate throughout the entire film? Of course, it won't be possible to cover everything, as there are many action scenes in it. But we can work on specific locations, some atmospheric parts of the film. I like the idea of inserting speech samples from the movie actors, we can diversify and insert some iconic samples from the environment used in the film that characterize a particular scene, for example.

[@johanboyen1275]

reminds me of blade runner 😊 beautiful

[@alexandrekreismann]

Hey SA! Loved this one. Any chance to add english subtitles to the dialogues? Would it be hard to do? I would appreciate it!

[@mactika]

Will Omnisphere 2 be a good buy?

[@stateazure]

Yes :)

[@gudrunegert7886]

In der Einblendung links unten, unter anderem bei 16:30, fehlt das Auslassungszeichen in Hadley's.

[@isanvicente1974]

now playin colony ship a game by iron tower studios, it would be perfect music for the game, we say in spanish "se ajusta como un guante" , it fits like a glove is the transtalation... marvellous music as always , a bandcamp release will be very welcome...

[@Realcoolbeanz]

53:40

[@denvalbaranov]

Patrick, can we see it on the bandcamp?

[@stateazure]

Yes, soon! I'll try and get it done. I've been busy working on the next album release for 3rd May.

[@johntbd]

Hi State Azure, I will be playing your music on my radio program. What would I put in for your record label? Thank You

[@stateazure]

Thank you, John! You can put 'Azure Studios'

[@johntbd]

Thank You. Will do. Terraforming Colony - 'Hadley's Hope' is super

[@traceydeakin6055]

Transformative⭐

[@TheStudioDrummer]

I could play drums to this all day.🙃

[@J40JesusIsLord]

Ever wonder if The Company set up Hadley's Hope intentionally to see what an alien infestation would be like and Burke's meddling caused the whole thing to happen prematurely before they had all their assets ready?

[@stateazure]

The upcoming movie is set between Alien and Aliens and involves Weyland-Yutani, so we should get more information!

[@J40JesusIsLord]

@@stateazure Hopefully it will be better than Prometheus/Covenant! At least Ridley isn't directing the new one!

[@reallyidrathernot.134]

that is a sick premise for a game tho

[@thehumanatelier]

🌧️💙.

[@perceptron-1]

It is perfect. This music will play. We go to LV-426. But where are the Aliens? Has Johnsi's cat been found yet? That BAR neon sign was made in my factory. If anyone needs one, let me know, we'll make it for you.

[@A-Name-101]

Stay Frosty People!

[@jesselharry]

Ethereal.

[@j.chierkoet3963]

If you are really into this, 4 hours is waaaaay too short..

[@stateazure]

Thanks! I would make it longer, but the file size becomes crazy!

[@marcusshowena4667]

Not my type this particular piece.
