Soundtracks Of Light
“When the Sun shines in your eyes, like a whizzard old and wise, then the darkness is blinded by the Light” - Light Blinds Darkness (Q3-2023)
We live in an exciting era. Things that we always took for granted, suddenly have a surprising other side. In the end we all live in the same movie, but every day you can choose from which perspective you watch it. Are you drawn to the narrowing dark, or to the expanding light. Soundtracks Of Light wants to make music from the latter because I strongly believe in a free world full of beauty, connection, creativity, spirituality, expansion, abundance and gratitude.
By approaching making music as a meditation I try to let my hands do the work without my mind interfering too much. I always tune my instruments 8 Hertz lower (432 Hertz) than is usual in modern music. It is said that this little difference allows music to resonate with the healing and calming frequencies of the Universe. Moreover, I think it sounds nicer, more open and less sharp. Experience it yourself, enjoy listening to Soundtracks Of Light!

11 Quietudes
Marc van Mourik
Some music needs to mature for a while before it's ready to go out into the world. In 2013 I recorded a series of meditation improvisations on piano that I actually loved but wanted to keep with me for a while.

Some music needs to mature for a while before it's ready to go out into the world. In 2013 I recorded a series of meditation improvisations on piano that I actually loved but wanted to keep with me for a while. I felt that something had to be done with it, but I didn't yet have a clear picture of what exactly that was. Now 10 years later I rediscovered them in one of my project folders on my computer and I was again enchanted by their purity, softness and expressiveness. Now I also felt better what still had to be done with it. The sound of the recording did not yet fit well with the story that the music had to tell. I decided on a remastering and appropriate titles and now they are ready to go out into the world.

New Patterns Of Reality (432 Hz)
Marc van Mourik & Wilka Zelders
New Patterns Of Reality is a co-production between me and Wilka. I always enjoy working with her, just like the surprising results of our purely improvised sessions. In this track Wilka felt the need to go wild on a text.
But what if you don't have any text at hand yet? Well, then you just channel one from the Universe. Don't think, just write
New Patterns Of Reality is a co-production between me and Wilka. I always enjoy working with her, just like the surprising results of our purely improvised sessions. In this track Wilka felt the need to go wild on a text.
But what if you don't have any text at hand yet? Well, then you just channel one from the Universe. Don't think, just write down what comes to mind. When the text was on paper, we realized that it was a text that fits perfectly in the current times. Creating new patterns of reality based on love instead of fear, connecting instead of drifting apart. With this wonderful idea I could blindly let my hands do their work.
While Wilka enchanted the microphone with her warm voice, I pressed the record button and immediately recorded the first synthesizer part, which we then developed together into the special song it has become today.
Biosfeer
Marc van Mourik
Biosphere is a track that I am very proud of. The most beautiful tracks are those where the head interferes as little as possible, and on this evening I found myself in a pleasant meditative state of being. I was playing around with my analog Prophet synthesizer that I had just tuned to 432 hertz. Before I knew it I was gripped by a theme that
Biosphere is a track that I am very proud of. The most beautiful tracks are those where the head interferes as little as possible, and on this evening I found myself in a pleasant meditative state of being. I was playing around with my analog Prophet synthesizer that I had just tuned to 432 hertz. Before I knew it I was gripped by a theme that sounded very inviting. Before I knew it there was an improvisation of almost 10 minutes on the tape. My old neighbor was visibly moved when I showed him the end result, he saw all kinds of images passing by that he described passionately. And judging by the reactions of listeners around the world, he's not alone. I can only be thankful for that!
Natures Joy Unfolding
Marc van Mourik & Wilka Zelders
Natures Joy Unfolding is another wonderful, cheerful and spontaneous co-production that I made together with the energetic conductor Wilka Zelders. The song became an ode to the creative power of the Universe through which all beings from great to small, from dense to ethereal, flourish. Natures Joy Unfolding is one of my most streamed songs

The Divine Masculine (432 Hz)
Marc van Mourik & Wilka Zelders
The Divine Masculine is a co-creation of two spirits who have known each other longer than they have been here on earth. When we make music together, it is always accompanied by a lot of humor and total freedom. Wilka is completely in her element in her capacity as an energetic conductor.

The Divine Masculine is a co-creation of two spirits who have known each other longer than they have been here on earth. When we make music together, it is always accompanied by a lot of humor and total freedom. Wilka is completely in her element in her capacity as an energetic conductor. With subtle hand gestures or spontaneous inspirations she always knows how to lead me to new sound worlds that are ready to be unraveled. As if she bundles all the cosmic energy and lets it flow right through my hands.
Pure
Marc van Mourik
Pure arose spontaneously when I was sitting behind the piano one late evening, musing about the past day. The felt between the strings and the hammers of the old Dutch Rippen piano provides a pleasant soft sound.

The felt between the strings and the hammers of the old Dutch Rippen piano provides a pleasant soft sound. The most beautiful music is created when I'm not thinking, or even when I'm reading a book behind the piano. My hands then find their way naturally, not hindered by my busy judgmental head.

In Cycle Of The Sun you can hear the characteristic cyclical patterns of instruments moving around each other. This is my ode to the creative, inspiring and healing power of the Sun. This song also originated entirely from a free improvisation and then developed into an organically developing song with a head and a tail. Cycle Of The Sun is my first release on the digital channels. The song has now been streamed millions of times and I am of course very proud and grateful for that.
Connectedness
Marc van Mourik
Connectedness stands for being connected with love and gratitude. One morning I felt the urge, or inspiration, to record a piano piece. Time was tight and I had to get to the point quickly and placed the microphone in front of the Dutch old Rippen piano. Although I still had no idea what notes to play, I pressed the record button and started
Connectedness stands for being connected with love and gratitude. One morning I felt the urge, or inspiration, to record a piano piece. Time was tight and I had to get to the point quickly and placed the microphone in front of the Dutch old Rippen piano. Although I still had no idea what notes to play, I pressed the record button and started playing. The notes flowed on the tape as if by themselves. After three minutes I was pleasantly surprised. When I listened back to the recording I heard that a very cohesive song had been created, it sounded like something I could never have imagined in my head beforehand. Grateful and happy I closed the session, got it ready for release. Now I wish you a lot of listening pleasure with Connectedness!

Evert Heintz is a passionate Dutch teacher, mountain climber and motivational speaker who helps people to recognize and stimulate their natural flow with his program Insight Adventure. Together with Evert I produced the album 'Insight Adventure' in 2010 for which I provided his inspiring meditations with appropriate soundtracks, completely intuitively improvised. In 2022 we re-released the songs as instrumental versions.

Shortly after the release of 'Images of Relaxation' I released another album called '5 Meditations'.

Also on this album you will find beautiful piano improvisations, but even quieter and more meditative. I played all tracks in one take in a row, and after minimal editing they appeared on this CD. Thanks to the beautiful piano software from Pianoteq I was able to fine tune the sound of the virtual Steinway piano until I got the right harmonic and emotional balance.

As Above So Below (432 Hertz)
Marc van Mourik
As above so below is such a track that started as an improvisation on piano and then grew organically into an arrangement. As you can hear in this song there are all lines intertwining, ascending and descending. Up and down again. As Above So Below was the basic idea that inspired this track.

As above so below is such a track that started as an improvisation on piano and then grew organically into an arrangement. As you can hear in this song there are all lines intertwining, ascending and descending. Up and down again. As Above So Below was the basic idea that inspired this track. Once I was in the flow, all the musical puzzle pieces fell together naturally. Build, add, feel, add some more and balance. Once I woke up from the dream of creation I could only listen in amazement and gratitude to what had emerged!

Shiatsu'ism
Marc van Mourik
Shiatsuism arose after a very relaxing and healing shiatsu massage by my good friend Peter. This is one of the albums I'm most proud of. At that time I was studying classical composition and I was obsessed with the music of Mike Oldfield, and you can hear that. It has actually become a kind of symphony, inspired by the special massage that
Shiatsuism arose after a very relaxing and healing shiatsu massage by my good friend Peter. This is one of the albums I'm most proud of. At that time I was studying classical composition and I was obsessed with the music of Mike Oldfield, and you can hear that. It has actually become a kind of symphony, inspired by the special massage that preceded it. The 6 songs on the album each breathe their own atmosphere, but together they form an organic whole. The ostinato, the opening theme, is audible throughout the piece and recurs in many different guises. Also in 2004 I already produced music in the 432 Hertz tuning. The album has been re-released in 2020 after a long time in storage. Besides, I wasn't ready for it myself. I first had to overcome my shame or insecurity because there were some minor flaws in the recording. It wasn't until years later that I learned that there is absolute beauty in imperfection.

in the studio
Watch how an improvisation is recorded in the studio. I am currently working on a new album and testing whether the sounds and synthesizers do what I want them to do with all their possibilities. Tweaking, adjusting, trying out, a very nice phase in the production process.
You can also see where the inspiration for the website's colors comes from. The great van Medevoort loudspeakers are of great value when producing my music and with their fresh yellow color they are the ray of sunshine in the studio.
compare 440 to 432 hertz
Check out the difference between a recording in 440 and 432 Hertz here. The recordings are musically identical, only the digital instruments are tuned differently. The piano sound is created using a high-quality tone generator (by Pianoteq) that calculates all the characteristics of a Steinway piano at lightning speed for every note played. This makes it possible to tune the piano to 432 Hertz without introducing unnatural side effects.
Thanks for voting!
Do you hear the difference between the two songs?

About Marc

Marc van Mourik (1977, The Netherlands, graduated in music and mechanical engineering) is a professional producer / improviser since the early 2000s. He has already produced music for many different types of international music productions, film productions and commercials for well-known and lesser-known organizations. As an improvisation pianist, Marc accompanied many moving, hilarious and exciting scenes for theater companies in the Netherlands.
Since his early childhood he has been fascinated by the art of free improvisation, first on the church organ, then on the piano, synthesizers, bass guitar, accordion and various types of flutes. For as long as he can remember, his cosmic antennae have given him access to an infinite music library from which he can always stream new music.
The music Marc makes generally sounds sensitive, cinematic, relaxing and imaginative. This makes his music very suitable for meditation, healing and yoga, for example, but also as a soundtrack for inspiring, moving film productions.
Nowadays Marc regularly produces and releases new music from "Soundtracks Of Light" (SOL), his platform to send more and more light and love into the world with the help of music and beautiful people.
The single 'Cycle Of The Sun', released in 2011, marked the beginning of Marc's presence on Spotify and other streaming services. Marc's catalog now consists of more than 25 singles and albums that have already been streamed millions of times worldwide.
