The flow of music creation

“When the Sun shines in your eyes, like a whizzard old and wise, then the darkness is blinded by the Light” - Om Mani Padme Hum (Single, 2023)

Welcome! I am an improviser, a searcher. By approaching making music as a meditation, my hands do the work without my mind interfering too much. Creating music in a pure linear flow. 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 my music!

What can I do for you?

Giving your story extra emotion, expressiveness and impact, that is my passion. I've been doing that for a large part of my life. Are you looking for the right sound for a catchy pop song or an imaginative soundtrack? Based on my experience, curiosity and intuition, I would love to be an inspiring co-creator, from concept to master. In the studio, or on stage.

It all starts with improvisation

Watch how an improvisation is recorded. In this video I am testing and tuning the sound of the piano and the electronics. Tweaking, adjusting, trying out, a very nice phase in the production process. The old Dutch Rippen piano is tuned to 432 Hertz and two of the three strings per tone are muted. This and the felt ribbon between hammers and strings give the piano a very open, warm and dreamy tone.

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 software instrument 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.

“A Stradivarius violin from 1700 resonates at 432 Hertz and was clearly built for it. Great composers of the time, such as Mozart, Beethoven and others, actually composed their music on instruments tuned to 432 Hertz. Music on 432 Hertz feels calmer, more pleasant, more transparent and more relaxing. You could even say that music in that key has a healing effect. More and more people have the feeling that the 440 Hertz music goes more to the head and the 432 Hertz music goes more to the heart.”

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 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 To Relax”, 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.
