🎶 About Kris Townsent – Full StoryMusic has always been more than just sound – it has been my way of capturing memories, emotions, and atmospheres. What began as curiosity in the early 1990s has grown into a lifelong journey.🌱 The Mid-1980s – Inspiration & First SparksBefore I ever touched a keyboard, I was already deeply influenced by music.
Bands like Iron Maiden shaped my early listening habits – their power, intensity, and dramatic storytelling showed me how music could create entire worlds. That sense of atmosphere stayed with me, even when I later turned to electronic sounds.🎹 The Early 1990s – First StepsI started with a simple keyboard, just experimenting with tones and melodies. Soon, my curiosity pushed me further: I discovered drum computers and synthesizers, and I was fascinated by the creative possibilities of electronic gear – especially my first pieces of Alesis hardware.🚀 2000–2010 – First ProductionsBy the early 2000s, I had transitioned fully into digital music production. In 2007 and 2008, I released my first trance tracks – small but important milestones.I was heavily influenced by artists like ATB and Chicane, whose melodic and atmospheric styles showed me how electronic music could carry stories and emotions in ways words never could.🔄 2015–2019 – A Fresh StartAfter some years of silence, I reignited my passion in 2015 with the music software Reason. It was a fresh start – and this time, with full commitment.Those years were intense learning and growth. In 2019, I switched to FL Studio as my primary production tool – the DAW that still defines my workflow today.🌌 2020–2022 – Reinvention & FusionThe pandemic became an unexpected turning point. With more time and space to focus, I asked myself: What do I really want to create?I started to explore orchestral composition – something I had never done before. Without owning any orchestral instruments, I immersed myself in classical arrangements, libraries, and orchestration techniques.The result was a discovery that still defines my sound today: the fusion of orchestral drama with electronic depth.🎼 In May 2022, I released my very first orchestral composition A Brave Fairy.🌠 Shortly after, “Xploring Space” followed – blending orchestral foundations with shimmering electronic layers.This combination opened up a whole new chapter in my artistic expression.🎧 Today – Cinematic Electronica & Instrumental JourneysI now produce all my music independently: from composition and sound design to mixing, mastering, and marketing.My style has grown into what I call:
✨ Cinematic Electronica & Instrumental Journeys ✨
Music that tells stories without words, inviting you to step into my memories and atmospheres as if they were your own.Recent and upcoming projects include:Ten Moments – an album of memories, told without words.Aurora Code – an EP of shimmering pads, driving beats, and cinematic soundscapes.Seasons Series – four tracks, four seasons.End of the World – a dystopian orchestral/electronic concept still in progress.🔮 Looking AheadMy journey is about constant growth. Every track adds a new fragment – another chapter in the story. The blend of electronic intensity and orchestral emotion will continue to shape my music in the years to come.Because for me, music is not just what I do – it’s who I am.

🎶 Ten Moments
Fragments of life, captured in sound.
Ten Moments is an upcoming album shaped around memories – small but defining moments that linger long after they’ve passed. Each track leans toward a LoFi-tinged electronic atmosphere, blending warm textures, subtle rhythms, and understated melodies.This is not a grand cinematic statement, but something more personal: a collection of moods, reflections, and quiet discoveries. A soundtrack for late nights, fleeting thoughts, and the in-between spaces of life.✨ Currently in the making – aimed for release in Autumn 2026.
A Brave Fairy
An orchestral debut about courage and transformation
A Brave Fairy was my 2022 debut single. An earlier 2021 version already received great feedback from pros and music fans.The track blends orchestral writing with digital sound design. It follows a fragile fairy growing into a resilient warrior — each section reflecting her transformation.For me it’s a piece about renewal and bravery – a reminder that even fragile beginnings can grow into strength.✨ An orchestral journey of renewal and courage, told through delicate strength.

Xploring Space (Found Earth 2.0) was born from my fascination with the infinite mechanisms of the cosmos. The track blends orchestral writing with electronic sound design, capturing both a narrative flow and the vastness of outer space.The composition reflects humanity’s longing for a “Plan B” – the search for a second Earth. It follows the launch of a spacecraft, journeys through interstellar realms, and ends with the vision of a new home.🏆 1st Place – HOFA Contest 2022

Tears from Heaven (The Orchestral Deconstruction)
A symphonic reimagining of my trance classic
Tears from Heaven (The Orchestral Deconstruction) is a rework of my original trance track, reshaped with orchestral layers and infused with rock elements. This transformation takes the piece beyond its initial form, reflecting my musical evolution.The remix blends orchestral grandeur, electronic depth, and raw rock energy into a sonic tapestry. Electric guitars and a soaring solo add drive and intensity, while the orchestral framework enriches the emotional dimension.For me, this version is a symphony of emotions — shifting seamlessly between moods and atmospheres. It is both a tribute to trance roots and a bold step into new artistic territory.✨ A mosaic of sound that is timeless, dynamic, and unapologetically transformative.

Journey (Soul Tides)
A contemplative detour into ambient realms
Journey was the inaugural and only release of my Soul Tides project.
It marked a step outside my usual style, exploring the ambient genre and introducing vocals for the very first time. Using a vocal plugin inspired by a real singer’s voice, the track gained an ethereal and human touch without relying on lyrics.Built on warm synth layers, cello melodies, and subtle beats, Journey evolves from a simple pad into a lush soundscape. Its contemplative mood invites listeners into a dreamlike sanctuary, offering space for reflection and calm.Although the Soul Tides project will not be continued, Journey remains as a standalone piece — a unique moment of exploration in my discography, highlighting the beauty of stepping into new artistic territory.✨ An ambient mosaic that captures stillness, depth, and fleeting wonder.

Summer 23 is the second track in my Seasons Series, capturing the essence of summer: vibrant, warm, and full of life.

Cherryblossoms began as a simple working title, inspired by the fleeting beauty of the cherry blossom trees lining my street in spring. These delicate flowers set the tone for what became a deeply cinematic and ambient composition.As the track evolved, it revealed its darker, more introspective side — transforming into an atmospheric piece that blends piano, cello, electronic basses, violin textures, and cinematic percussive elements.The haunting textures of the violins and the pulse of cinematic percussion became the heart of Cherryblossoms. What started as uncertainty about its purpose grew into a natural progression, shaping the song into something unique and resonant.✨ A sonic reflection of fragility and strength, carried by the fleeting beauty of blossoms in spring.
