FAQ

Do you use AI to make your music?
Nope. Every Sonic Starscapes Series is 100% organic human-made music composed in Vancouver, BC, Canada.

Why isn't your site more searchable?
Because we make music, not websites. Every Series is a 15 minute journey of beats and melodies that can be layered, deconstructed, and recombined anew. Its up to you to find the piece that works for you. Grab a snack and get comfortable.

Could you at least put the genre?
Genre is a social construct.

This is going to take forever.
So does hunting through an old record collection, browsing an antique shop, or panning for gold. Good art rewards patience.

Can I get a preview of the next Series?
Every Series premieres on our Youtube first, so subscribe there to always be up to date on the latest offering.

Can I get these stems as wav files?
Absolutely. Email us proof of purchase and we'll send them over.

What if I need a more finite breakdown of a track?
No problem. Let's chat.

Can I get the original Pro Tools session from a Series?
We can give you a look under the hood, but it'll cost you. Pricing starts at $500.
Let's talk.

Do you offer refunds?
Due to the nature of digital downloads, all sales are final.

Can I use your track in my film / podcast / video / game?
Is it a personal project? Yes - everything here is royalty-free. Is it for commercial use? Well, depends on what you're doing and how big you are. Ask us first.
