THE SUNTAPES JOURNAL
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. The soundtrack of this video helps to enjoy the dream away vibe of these beautiful natural landscapes. It is a relaxing ambient space music track with mellow soundscapes, nature sounds and subtle acoustic piano tunes. The 4th single from the upcoming Suntapes EP "Air of Kyrgyzstan"
Qualitative compositional ambient space music with spiritual, tranquil and melodramatic atmosphere. The traditional electronic piano melody is recorded on Farfisa Soundmaker, the neoclassical arrangements on synthesizer and extra tunes on bass and glockenspiel. 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. While travelling in Kyrgyzstan in 2025, I filmed many beautiful nature landscapes inside Issyk Kul Lake and on the mountains around it. Even in summer it is easy to find desolate walking areas in that area on the east of Kyrgyzstan.
Towards the new Suntapes album TRAVEL MOTION , many singles are being released. These tracks immerse listeners in a cinematic vibe and travel motion. Each track is crafted with gentle melodies on warm acoustic instruments accompanied by atmospheric soundscapes and melodramatic arrangements. Perfect for relaxation and introspection. Plaza, Motion and Fathom combine minimalistic piano with Mellotron Flute and analogue synthesizers melodies.
Diverse atmospheric musical reflections of wild country side. The pictures I once took early in the morning in the east of Taiwan keep bringing me back. Wild Country, that’s where I want to be. Enjoy the diverse atmospheric sound, disappear from the hectic life and stay in Wild Country for 17 minutes.
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.
