Riverstar: Video Game-Inspired Instrumentals With A Hip-Hop Twist.

Her latest EP, “The Return to the Crystal Canyon,” will take the audience on a unique journey!

October 2023 - Riverstar, also known as River, is a very imaginative artist who likes to think outside the box when creating music that’s quite one-of-a-kind. She has a focus on video game-inspired instrumentals, seamlessly intertwined with hip-hop influences and a lo-fi twist.

Because of this rather distinctive combination of styles, Riverstar is able to create a captivating sonic signature that transcends genres, leading to more immersive listening experiences for the audience. Her music isn't just a collection of tracks; it's an intricate narrative that leads the audience on a cinematic adventure, much like getting lost in the worlds and captivating characters of a video game.

The world of hip-hop might feel quite far removed from the idea of video game music. However, Riverstar created a good balance between these two styles. The ebb and flow of hip-hop merges well with the otherworldly nature of video game soundtracks and their grander scope. This fusion results in a musical experience that's both familiar and fresh, expansive yet nuanced, and even intimate in its own right. The EP features three songs, including the first track, “Where should we go next?” - This song serves as a really good introduction to what people can expect from the mood of this release. The track kicks off with a really cool arpeggio, which adds a dreamy and mesmerizing mood along with the ambient drone that makes the ambiance stand out. Underneath it all, a simple yet articulate beat drives the music, making for a truly fascinating experience. This particular track actually reminds me of Stewart Copeland’s now legendary soundtrack for one of the older Spyro The Dragon games. The whimsical melodies add to the color and rhythm of the music, and the arrangement has a really smooth flow. The second song, “Deep within the Crystal Canyon” also offers some mesmerizing arpeggio, but it takes it all up a notch with some massive bass tones! The synth lines providing sub-energy in the mix are beefy and assertive, but they never overpower the main melody that drives the composition forward. The song still allows the beautiful arpeggios to breathe, making for yet another exciting sonic adventure in music. The third and final track on this release is titled “Robot Dragon-Spiders?!” and it is the shortest of all 3. However, the arrangement is just as rich and detailed. This time, the fuzzy synth lines and wonderfully dynamic beats actually remind a bit of retro-gaming sounds. There is something vaguely lo-fi about the aesthetics of this song, especially in the saturation of the drums and the synth lines.

Riverstar's knack for infusing her music with a very motion-driven twist, especially through the use of arpeggiated patterns, further adds depth to her compositions. This is a great way to add some nostalgic vibes without necessarily compromising the momentum of her compositions. 

To conclude, one of the standout features of this EP release is its remarkable diversity. From the upbeat and energetic melodies that accompany the arrangements to the enchanting and tranquil ambient soundscapes in the background, the music has it all. The tracks really evoke a video game scenario where players get to explore fantastic environments. Even though this music isn’t associated with any game in particular, you can almost see the world coming to life right before your eyes (and, more importantly, ears!)

Each track on “The Return to the Crystal Canyon” is thoughtfully crafted to immerse players in the unique atmosphere of the compositions. The use of a wide range of sounds adds depth and texture to Riverstar’s work, creating a rich sonic texture that mirrors the rich visual world of some of the best adventure video games.

If you want to hear more from this artist, you’re in luck! In addition to her original compositions, Riverstar also does a lot of unique remixes, which she posts on her YouTube channel, highlighting her ability to reimagine and transform music into something entirely her own.

In early 2010, Antonis P. was playing guitar in The Devrants, a punk band from Thessaloniki. Fotis Trasanidis was also in a punk band from Thessaloniki, The Clowns. After many lives and experiences together they became friends and later Fotis became the drummer of the Devrants. After the three years that passed without playing music together, from 2016-2019 and experimenting with other genres of music, Anomalos Kosmos emerged! Anomalos Kosmos isa duet from Thessaloniki- Greece, created in the summer of 2019. We play a mix of Outsider, No wave, Avant garde, punk and loops music, using soundscapes from our city, trying to capture her pulse, smell and colors. The album was recorded at the early hours of each day, firstly as a way of blowing off some steam, because of the graveyard shift at work. All the songs are improvised and recorded at the spot by Antonis P. Later Fotis liked the songs and recorded the drums (also by improvising the songs, just with our sign language and a lot of talent)! We tried to complete this project and promote the album according to the punk-rock ethos. So the mix and master are from us and our friends Tasos Ganoulis, Spyros Harmanis, Lampros Zafeiropoulos and Kostas Mantzirakis. Also we made only 91 handmade and unique albums! Every album has something uniqe so in artwork and so in music. Different hidden tracks from live jammings in each album and different colors and details in album cover artwork. The Artwork is by Fotis Trasanidis, which is an exceptional artist! Our next work is in the process of making….

Grime All Star Stormzy Returns on Massive “Big for Your Boots”

When you consider what grime heavyweight Stormzy accomplished before his recent nine-month hiatus—a plethora of crossover singles (“Scary”, “Standard”), domestic chart toppers (“Shut Up”, “WickedSkengMan 4”), a world tour—it’s clear this break was well deserved. When he did return, last month, it was at first cryptically, through a series of mysterious billboards that teased his debut album, Gang Signs & Prayer. The album’s formal announcement included opulent Last Supper-inspired artwork and a searing lead single that laid waste to the haters.

“Big for Your Boots” was co-produced by grime’s answer to Timbaland, Sir Spyro, as well as Adele and Sam Smith collaborator Fraser T Smith. The addition of Smith adds a slight pop sheen to Spyro’s typically trunk rattling productions, giving it an overall smoother feel while staying true to grime’s garage and jungle core. It’s an excellent return to form for Stormzy, too, whose tightly coiled flow laps up the orchestral, cartoonish soundscape with his stand-off rhymes aimed at his competition: “You’re getting way too big for your boots,” he spits. Be warned, though: “You’re never too big” for Stormzy’s boot.

This extensive cave system circling underneath the center of the glacier is home to several large pools of subzero waters, brightly illuminated from below. Try not to lose sight of the guide, but if you do, just watch your step and follow the sound of crunching snow from the group's steady march.

🌳 Summer Forest Sightseeing 🏞️

An extended soundscape player simulating relaxation in Summer Forest. Visit 5 uniquely-sounding areas of the world for 24 minutes each, before being whisked away to the next.

Glimmering Stream

The eponymous thicket of birch trees, with a small brook situated in its midst. Songbirds chirp away, hidden in their branches. The leaves and grasses shuffle in the gentle breeze, while a flock of sheep bounce by.

Under the Smashed Bridge

Rest in this enclosed area by the trickling water making its way through the rock wall. It slowly passes you by, while the frogs are content to hop and croak next to you.

Colossal Lakeside

Lean back against the portal arch on this buoyant isle that has juuust enough room for you to sit here with your legs hanging over into the lake. Pouring into submerged castle entrance from the grates lining the tops of the mounds, this water splashes against both you and the nearby shore, while the sounds of sheep bleat and frogs ribbit on from the grassy land.

Pool Passageway

Emerge from the flooded passage into a small blue-tiled room, marble steps leading to a hall with a closed door. Settle down on the cool floor, catch your breath, and take in the echoing, wet sounds.

Terrarium Tree

A massive, twisted-trunk tree awaits you past the door. In this glass-topped dome, there's little in the way of noise besides a hum of insects, the gurgle of water in the miniature moat, and perhaps even the croak of a frog echoing from the grates every now and then. Lay back in the shade, shut your eyes, and let the quiet lull you to sleep.

🌲 Summer Forest Stroll 🏞️

Take a brisk hike through 5 areas, each with their own unique soundscapes, in this estival land over the course of 25 minutes.

Glimmering Brook

Stroll under trees and jump over the brook, as a flock of sheep graze.

Below the Broken Bridge

Jump down to the bottom of the bridge room, where a small, bubbling stream of water and some happy frogs will greet you.

Great Lake

Exit to the open air, where the animals roam the ground, and the pond sits quietly.

Terrarium Room

Leave behind the pool to find an indoor tree, circling around it and passing by a tiny channel.

Castle Corridor

End up in the corridors of the castle—stone surrounding you from floor to ceiling, and massive wooden doors sealing you off.
