Arcturus

By rdomain on January 30, 2026 11:37 pm

All parts were performed in real time on a Arturia Microfreak with custom sound patches to create an organic feel as opposed to clinical sequencing.  Edited and mixed in Ableton Live.  The Microfreak was the only sound source.

Feels like a beautiful journey thick with rapturous textures. You've evoked such an epic, grand space! heart

Highlights of the track for me - the intro with the melodic elements shining here and there. And the buildup - huge, but without being obnoxious in the bass. Just right at building a strong atmosphere.

I love this! The arturia freak line are so so good. I adore my Minifreak as I'm sure you're aware by now.
Spectacular.

patient, glowing
i hope we are ok

The Microfreak never ceases to amaze me with it's sonic potential.  Great sound design for all the patches here. They all fit together super well, and create a really full and immersive soundscape. 

this is excellent...I really like the mood and the lo-fi elements in the mix. Build into quite a journey

very cool and organic and flowing! space synth core - reminds me of the soundtrack from a mars colonization game I forgot the name of.

Amazing space heart

The buildup to the huge sound was very cool.  I like how it does have a space/sci-fi type of feel to it as well.

Thanks for listening and all the great comments.  Always appreciated.  I'll get round to listening to everyone's tracks over the coming week as it's been hectic lately.  Thanks again.

I love that microfreak. It creates a huge and special atmosphere.
