Altus - Innerspace (2016) 

Donald, I can't tell you how much this means to me. When I started making music so many years ago, I would've never known it would end up making such a positive impact in the lives of others. I'm so happy the music could bring you a moment of solace, and to perhaps play a small part toward your recovery. And I hope you can continue using it throughout this tough period in your life. Safe journey. ❤️

Altus Good morning..Unlike most mornings when I just keep forcing myself back to sleep, I awaken at 5 and started making plans for this day and all the rest..this music resonates at a higher frequency than what most listen to..my cabin is a few hundred yards away from the road but every day I here a vehicle driving by with the worst sounding rap "music" and it brings me anger and hatred, but I'm going to stop allowing it and anything or anyone to control me..if billions of humans would listen to this music instead of the lower chakra type, there would be an awakening like never before..ok enough of that rant..there is rain in the forecast and most times that would make me feel dreary and really start missing my dad and some a couple of beautiful black labs named Magic and Nina...we raised them from puppies and we were the best of friends..they are gone from this realm now and most times I feel that this life is the finale destination..and of course all the reason to get drunk, but this music is touching my mind and telling my wounded self that unconditional love cannot be destroyed by death..and that somewhere across the universe, my loved ones are awaiting me..I'm going to focus on that, even when my programmed self says otherwise..so instead of seeing the rain as a dark and cold event, I will rise above and gaze at the beautiful Earth and notice the tiny raincloud passing over my cabin..and realize that the sun is shinning bright..ok, I got to get busy living or get busy dying..its no longer a choice..take care my friend.

Good for you. Just take it one day at a time my sober brother. I too gave up the poisonous beverage a long time ago. GOD bless!

Also, check out Steve Roach's music. Been a listener of his for 33 years now. His ambient music was very instrumental in my recovery process!

Thanks. :)

Awesome. Thank you. :)

Glad to hear the music helps. :) If you're looking for ways to mask annoying sounds in your environment, check out mynoise.net/

My pleasure. Thanks.

Thank you for your kind words. There's no doubt that music is powerful, and it's humbling to know my work has moved you so deeply.

this music + the stars = harmony. if only we could stay under them longer. we are all stardust, one, with everything. namaste.

Enjoy! :)

*I DID, AM, CONTINUE TO* .. *THANK YOU ALTUS* .. *IT's AS IF I'M AMONG THE [420] SKIES, PEACE*

*THANK YOU, WHOMEVER YOU MAY BE, FOR THE ''LIKE''* .. *PEACE TO YOU*

Yeah, soma.fm with its 40+ channels is like the perfect internet radio. They have a great taste for ambient music and jazz as well.

My pleasure. Thanks!

Thank you. Enjoy.

Thank you. High praise indeed. 😊

@@altusmusic_ca Jonn Serrie-type great as well :)

I'm happy to know my music is part of your nightly ritual. Thanks! :)

Thank you. :)

I'm glad the music resonates with you. Thanks!

Ambient Sleeping Pill is amazing radio station! Glad to have you here. :)

It always brings a smile to know the music offers such solace to listeners. Thanks.

Thank you. :)

beautiful

Thanks. And don't worry, I won't stop any time soon.

The majority of the music I create can definitely be used as a sleep aid, so your praise is well received. Enjoy!

Thanks Adam. For the record, Altus is just one guy. ;)

Well in that case, bravo to you sir & Keep up the amazing vibes.

Thank you. Enjoy!

Thank you. 😊

Thank you very much. :)

And what's the difference among all that shit you mentioned. What's the difference beetween an album and another one? The whole shit sounds just the same. Come on, even my little kid can make these sounds, There`s nothing extraordinary about it

If you don't understand it, then don't listen. But also don't pretend you understand it by making rude comments. This music is pure genius.

I think you are not intelligent enough to hear the changing harmonies and melodies, rythems and patterns in this music. If you do not understand something, please do not have an opinion!

@@rauldiaz5156 You're a douchebag. And so is your kid.

Mission accomplished. Thanks. :)

Thank you. :)

Thank you for your kind words.

Excellent comment, MJ! I like that ... "if the wind could be transformed into ambient music, this would be how it sounds." Very well said.

Thank you. Enjoy!

You're welcome. Thank you! :)

Thank you.

Thanks! :)

Thank you. :) I sent a reply to your private message.

This is high praise, Tom. Thank you very much. And I love to hear that my music has inspired your own works. Keep making music! :)

You're welcome. Thanks.

Thanks! :)

You're most welcome. Thanks for letting me know your favourite track on the album. Useful information. 😉

Your welcome and thankyou for your music. :)

Thank you.

Your last name is awesome

Glad to help! Thanks!

Thank you. :)

Enjoy. :)

@@altusmusic_ca Thanks! :-)

Grazie.

Thanks. Always happy to help writers (coders or otherwise) keep focused. :)

Music and the right frame of mind can certainly be a trip. 😉

Enjoy. 😊

Thanks!

You're welcome. Thank you.

Thank you. :)

Нет. Есть много не говорящих по-английски, которые наслаждаются этой музыкой. Я думаю, что большинство не оставляют комментарии, потому что они знают, что я англичанин, и полагаю, что я не могу его прочитать Google Translate - отличный инструмент. :)

Thanks. The photo is one I took over a decade ago, looking out at the Pacific ocean. Obviously the galaxy was photoshopped in. 😉

Excellent. I hope the music played a part in your discovery.

Thanks for all! :)

Excellent. I hope it works well for you. :)

*IT's AS IF THE MUSIC MAKES IT TOO EASY, ENTICINGLY, DRAWING YOU IN TO MEDITATE TO, RIGHT?* .. *SEE WHAT YOU'VE DONE ALTUS?.. YOU'VE SPOILED US, NEEDING TO SEEK NOTHING FURTHER ON THIS MUSICAL JOURNEY*

Always happy to hear from a new listener. I'm glad you're enjoying it. Thanks! 😊 As an aside, if you're looking for music similar to Steve Roach, check out Max Corbacho.

Thank you! :)

Thank you. You're certainly not the first person to make that comment. ☺️ Getting into the industry is not an easy task, and for the time being, the effort required to get my stuff heard by producers outweighs my current goals. Favourite film composers include Hans Zimmer and Thomas Newman.

Thank you. I'm glad to hear you're enjoying it. Currently, I've been listening to a lot of Hakobune (Takahiro Yorifuji).

@@altusmusic_ca Thanks for the reply and sharing the artist's name. I'd never heard of that person, but I'm sure you know lots of artists that would be new to me. Keep up the great work.

I think you might've just come up with a new genre name. ;) Thanks.

I respectfully disagree. I recieve lots of love from people around the world. Thank you. 😄

Apreciar. 😊

@Asuka Langley Soryu An Interstellar Trip

Thanks.

my favorite ambient music - ALTUS

😊

Спасибо!

Copyright is technically automatic as soon as you create something, but there's no good tools offered to exercise that right. The only reason to register your works to a copyright office is if you ever needed to prove it in court. If you don't plan on spending money trying to sue someone in court for infringing on your copyright, then registering is pointless IMO. I'd only recommend it if you were producing music for a major label.

@@altusmusic_ca I totally understand. Thank you so much for your reply! 🙂

@@altusmusic_ca As a side note, I purchased this work from you off bandcamp a while ago. I've listened to ambient music since the 1990's...and one of my all time favorites has always been Steve Roach. But honestly, your Innerspace album is up there with the best. I prefer the flowing ambient music over those with beats [though they have their place], or the "psychedelic" style. Well done on this work!

Glad to help you with those awful cramps, Satan. 😈

This question is too difficult to answer in a RU-vid comment, and there's actually no correct answer. What works for one person won't work for another. What I can provide is a list of software used to create this album: Composition: FL Studio Mastering: Studio One VST Instruments: Omnisphere 2 NI Absynth 5 Strum GS-2 NI Razor VST Reverb: Eventide UltraReverb ArtsAcoustic Reverb I hope that points you in a direction that helps you.

@@altusmusic_ca I have FL Studio, so I'm mostly needing the VST sounds and reverb,...which you have provided [THANKS!]. I'm also trying to figure out what Midi keyboard I can use. Are the VST instruments and reverb, that you listed, products to download into FL Studio? Also, what do you think of the Arturia [with Ableton Live Lite]?

@@DRayL_ Regarding the VST plugins, you just install them on your computer and in most cases, they should appear automatically in FL Studio. You may need to rescan the VST folders in FL Studio for them to appear. The only Arturia product I've used is the MicroBrute, and it's a fine synth. I've never used Ableton Live so I can't comment on it. I know a lot of people who love it though. :)

@@altusmusic_ca Okay, thanks again. It's been something I've wanted to try [ambient music] for literally more than a decade. Just didn't have the right timing then. I do now, and hope to make something worthwhile. I appreciate your input! :-)

@@DRayL_ Glad to help. I have plans to create a "making-of" video to show my process in hopes it'll help others. Maybe it'll help you too. Good luck!

I won't deny my style has changed over the past 15 years. What's your favourite Altus album?

....sleep theory vol.2,the time collection,the grand expanse,coma cluster.the sideral cicle 4 , 24 hours , black trees among...,macro,the elements water sei bravissimo ...ma la music drone non e' musica. ciao

The next release (coming next month) will be Sleep Theory Volume 3. I hope you'll enjoy it.

You are very kind ... thank you. If you say this means it's not drone ... so ... it'll be mine. Sorry ... you are a grandeeee but you can do much better .... you feel you have talent and fantasy ... use fantasy! Ciaooooo

I realize I can never please every listener, but I'll certainly try my best. 😊
