Genesis by Midnight's Ocean

New age & atmospheric music with quotes and articles pertaining to music theory/history/production.


The mysterious tail of the beginning of life. Dark, bright, beautiful, delicate, mighty, mysterious and earth shaking.

We watch what we eat with health in mind but neglect to watch what what we listen to. This album is a humble attempt to make organic better and electronic more organic. Music that leaves you more at peace, or gives release from emotional energetic blockages.

Often music that is catchy, gets stuck in your head. like food that tastes sweet but sticks to your gut. Eat healthy, Listen healthy. If you come away from music restless, maybe your diet would benefit from a change.

Certain tuning can create calm/order in the subconscious, instead of certain tuning that causes chaos. This album tries to be in tune with organic physics. Returning humanity back to music.
