Cold Blue Delivers Serene Soundscapes on ’99 Melodies’ Series
2 min read
Cold Blue takes trance family members around the world with an audio-visual journey on YouTube called 99 Melodies.
Cold Blue has been in the trance scene for years and continuously finds ways to be innovative and unique. After the spectacle that was Winter followed by the refreshingly downtempo Summer Chills, it wouldn’t be a surprise to think that he would take some time to sit back and create more music. Instead, he’s created a lofty new project dubbed 99 Melodies that’s available now on YouTube, a welcome surprise during these trying times.
Unlike many other artists in the scene this year, Cold Blue shied away from streaming on any platform. Instead, he explored the beautiful sights and sounds of nature to refresh his creative mind. Perhaps that is what inspired him to team up with a variety of videographers on 99 Melodies to pair their beautifully filmed nature scenes with the serene sounds he’s produced. But whatever the inspiration may have been, the result has been something beautiful.
My main motivations for this challenge are: It’s just me trying to do my little bits to help all of us retaining a big wide smile in our hearts, while we’re going through these rough times. It’s also a healthy routine for me to constantly keep creating art and let out all that big mess of emotions that are adding up deep inside in that crazy era we live in. Life on this planet is a gift, no matter how hard it can be sometimes. Especially this year I have felt so much gratitude for all those experiences and things that I’ve learned every day and I feel a strong desire to transform them into music and put them back out there with best wishes. Let’s show the world how much positive and powerful energy exists inside each of us, we just have to start to get active and do more of the things that we love doing.
