Joris Voorn’s Spectrum imprint continues its mission to spotlight visionary electronic music with the debut of Dutch producer Tim van Werd, who unveils a breathtaking two-track release, ‘View From Space’. EP is out now, grab it here!
Inspired by the awe of the cosmos and the humbling perspective of orbit, the EP takes listeners on a sonic voyage beyond Earth’s horizon. The title track, ‘View From Space,’ draws on the reflections of Canadian astronaut Chris Hadfield, whose words from orbit inspired van Werd to translate that sense of wonder into sound. Glimmering chimes, delicate melodies, and deep, enveloping rhythms evoke the beauty and fragility of our planet, a shared home floating in the infinite expanse. The result is a contemplative journey through unity, stillness, and perspective.
The second track, ‘Jupiter,’ ventures deeper into the cosmic unknown. Sweeping pads, vast textures, and slow-building energy mirror the colossal storms and boundless mystery of the gas giant. It’s an ode to scale and eternity, a cinematic soundscape that captures both the enormity and serenity of space.
With View From Space, Tim van Werd delivers an emotionally charged debut that perfectly aligns with Spectrum’s ethos, music that blends meaning, mood, and magnitude. A release that not only expands the label’s sonic universe but also reminds us of our place within the greater one.
