This amazing melodramatic composition has a spiritual connection to happiness of hiking in the beautiful desolate hilly nature area Aiako Harria in the north of Spain. The slow minimal music with flute melody is relaxing in combination with some synthesizer tunes.
A meditative soundscape to make you feel calm and float in the space during the beautiful sunset in the mountain area Karakol in Kyrgyzstan. Enjoy this ambient drone track with a fine mellow style.
Blissful soundtrack for the Karakol Gorge landscape video. It starts acoustically with the Chinese instrument “Ruan“ connecting to the animals in the mountain areas in Central Asia. And it evolves with electronic piano melody and acoustic piano chords for the dream vibe in the Karakol Mountain gorge landscapes. The track has a bit of world music and acoustic style than the other “Air of Kyrgyzstan” tracks.
Jyrgalan is a lovely desolate small town in the east side of Kyrgyzstan. With many hikes in that mountain area it is very enjoyable to reach beautiful mountain lakes such as Turnaluu lake.

It's the soundtrack of a meditative video of the desolate mountain area Shatyly, part of 6 track of upcoming EP "Air of Kyrgyzstan" of Suntapes
One of the most standout Suntapes tracks. Release on 9 January 2026. Inspired by a peaceful grassland near the Barskoon waterfall, the track captures a quiet family moment after a mountain walk. Field recordings from the location form the foundation of the piece, blended with a slow piano melody and soft mellotron layers. Both melodies were recorded live while watching the video footage, creating a strong emotional link between sound and image.
Relax while watching the Issyk Kul video with the new Suntapes track that is released on 12 December 2025.

Even in summer it is easy to find desolate walking areas in that area on the east of Kyrgyzstan.

Inspired by the Indian Summer Soul in the amazing image of Photographer Sofie Vosk, Suntapes recorded a gloomy soundtrack for the imaginary story behind it. The album catches summertime melancholy in 8 neoclassical piano pieces with gloomy arrangements. All tracks are recorded on a 1881 Bechstein Grand piano with close miking techniques, including it’s wooden creaking sounds and felt sounds.
Sonic Landscapes are dark and slow evolving ambient drone tracks. All of the compositions are recorded in one take with several analogue synthesizers and piano manipulation. The album has a psychedelic, meditative, minimal and filmic feel to it.
MYSTERIOUS MINIMAL NEOCLASSIC AMBIENT: not exactly a catchy name for a new music genre, but it’s a fitting description of this Suntapes album.
The atmospheric album "Hunting for hills" is the culmination of fifteen years of musical experiments and long, inspiring trips in Asia. The instrumental and filmic tracks all evolve around the use of unusual instruments such as the Chinese Guzheng, Chinese Ruan, Thai Pin, Indian harmonium, Moroccan Gnawa bass and a quirky slide guitar found in Vietnam. Added with a sauce of electronics, piano and field recordings.
Album "Phantom" by Tomas Johan Kristian is out on September 27th. Wavering between melodramatic subtle beauty and energetic minimalism, the solo piano pieces of Tomas Johan Kristian have a soothing feel and warm sound. His quirky approach to classical compositions sprung from his character to avoid the expected and to submerge in his own organic connection with repetitiveness.
