Soundtrack for the Soul: Let’s Play with ‘Travel Motion‘ by Suntapes
An interactive journey for your ears, your heart, and your imagination.
Belgian sound artist Suntapes invites us into a world where piano keys become compass points, and melodies trace emotional maps. His new album, ‘Travel Motion‘, is more than music—it’s a meditative voyage, shaped by acoustic instruments from across the globe and the haunting stillness of Galiano Island.
Ready to take off? You don’t have to answer—just feel as we go.
Close your eyes
The music begins. A piano whispers, not in urgency but in care.
A forest? A memory? A foggy morning on a train that never left the station?
Your mind wanders before the track even reaches the chorus. You’re already traveling.
Instruments with passports
You hear the tanpura, a low hum like ancient breath.
The ruan twirls in, plucking a past you forgot you had.
Harmonium swells—steady, warm, a rising sun through the mist.
And always: the piano. Honest, tender, listening more than it speaks.
Galiano Island
All the cover art comes from this place.
An island where wind bends the trees sideways and silence has texture.
The album feels like that: vast, unhurried, untouched. You sense it between the notes.
Duality
Suntapes is Tomas. Tomas is also Tomas Johan Kristian, the classical pianist.
This album bridges both selves—electronic dreamweaver meets ivory storyteller.
Each track moves with intention, yet gently enough to carry emotion without breaking it.
Emotional motion
Some tracks float, others ache.
One heals. One surprises.
Together, they don’t demand anything from you—but they make room.
Room to feel, reflect, dissolve, begin again.
Final Scene: Who are you in this motion?
You don’t have to define it. Just follow it.
Let ‘Travel Motion‘ be your quiet companion—
In the background, or all around you.
You’ve been somewhere else for 24 minutes.
And you didn’t even pack a bag.
