Gamma Serpent releases his debut single « Going Home » on August 15, 2025. The electronic track is a tribute to the soundtracks of horror, sci-fi, exploitation, and B-movies (specifically those from Italy and the United States) from the 1970s and 1980s.
For a more detailed genre description, “Going Home” has elements of chillout, downtempo, ambient, and synthpop/wave.
“Categorizing music into specific genres isn’t my thing, especially since I don’t consider myself an expert in any of them. I make music that I want to have a certain feel, and I think the musical genres and subgenres mentioned above are a pretty good way to describe my style.”
A sci-fi music video – made with AI, but to look like a weird old low-budget film
Along with the single release, Gamma Serpent is also releasing an atmospheric music video filled with space themes. The video serves as a visual extension of the song’s soundscape (or soundspace). The video was created almost entirely with artificial intelligence and edited with Adobe Premiere Pro and Final Cut Pro software.
« The idea was to make the video look like a low-budget sci-fi film and the end result pretty much looks like that with out-of-focus and blurred shots of UFO’s, crop circles and spacey stuff ».
« I have a background in punk and alternative rock, but I have always had a soft spot for electronic music – and weird movies. ‘Going Home’ is my love letter to the eerie and atmospheric soundtracks that shaped many low-budget genre films of the 70s and 80s, » Gamma Serpent explains. « While not all of the films were top-notch or even decent, their soundtracks were often at least intriguing. »
« Going Home » is scheduled for release on most major streaming and download platforms on August 15, 2025.
