The making of Whispers From The Void has been an adventure. It started out as a chord progression, but grew into a voluptuous melodic meditation on the depths of consciousness and Artificial Intelligence.
The track has the blend of brooding darkness and uplifting melodies that is characteristic of much of the music of Tonal Assembly. And yet it is a new stage in the development of his growing palette of sounds.
Whispers From The Void comes in three "flavors". First there is the original single. Then there is a more relaxed "chillout version" which comes without the hefty drums. And third is an instrumental version. These three tracks constitute another chapter that is added to the musical adventure that the music of Tonal Assembly constitutes.
All voices are samples, some of them are generated by artificial intelligence.
The guitars are played by Simon Snel, the lead vocalist and guitar player of the Dutch rock/blues/Americana band Black Bottle Riot (

EDIT, 05 April, 2024: I was eventually quite unhappy with the first master, so I decided to remix and remaster the entire song. The current version on Bandcamp is the remixed and remastered version.
