My Ko-Fi - ko-fi.com/retrovex (Includes Shop + Donations) Here's my big thank you shout out to everyone who donated so far 💜 at 5:30 I decided not to add any engine sound effects as I thought it'd distract from the nostalgic feeling, but let me know if next time you'd like more sounds on top of music! This one has took me quite some time and work to do, a lot of transitions and merging, making sure everything connects perfectly, I hope you'll enjoy this little journey we are headed on!
This was one of the most wonderful soundscapes my family and I have ever witnessed. It makes me think of my computer as the window of possibilities it was imagined to be. Thank you so much for this composition
Same here. Grew up with Windows 95, 98, then XP in my most formative years. Building pokemon/dbz fan sites with basic HTML as a 3rd grader while most of my school teachers didn't even know how to access the internet yet.
@@NinoDesbordes-vl6cc It came out a year or so before you were born. I was in 5th grade at the time. I'll never forget we got a brand new Dell desktop in our class room (Those old black huge Dell PC's from the early 2000's that were EVERYWHERE) and the only reason we had a PC in our classroom was because I went to a private school. That day was the first time I got a glimpse of Windows XP. I had grown up using 95, then 98, but XP was absolutely fascinating to 11 year old me. We got it at home pretty soon after that. It's easily the best operating system Windows ever made, and it perfectly encapsulates the frutiger aero aesthetic and is why so many people these days love that aesthetic and remember it fondly.
I remember buying gaming and computer magazines every month and spending hours reading the reviews while looking at the beautiful pictures and wondering what it would be like to possess all these incredible pieces of software. 30 years later, I have finally caught up with the reviews
I have no idea how you create these things, but they are incredibly beautiful, and pay a true homage to each operating system (I especially love that with NT, you took it out into an ethereal outer space since its default wallpaper/startup screen shows the stars).
I been following the story, first the PC was in the ocean, then it flew, now its wandering around space. Adds extra nostalgia to the themes. Thank you so much for your work, waiting for the rest of the series.
If you ever do these again, one small detail to include should be having the monitor and computer floating near each other separately. I think people will really enjoy that.
Incredible work Retrovex, you've done it again! My childhood flashed before my eyes. I love how you've managed to take the NT startup sound and create something completely unique. Love the unique and imaginative visuals, those toasters are super cute!
@@RetrovexAmbient Oh man, the answer to that question is "it's complicated" 😅 My first Windows was 95 though, back when the Start menu was new and exciting 😄
Holy mother of Joeseph, as if the 95 and 98 ones didn’t make me want to levitate to the heavens more! Listening to this soundscape on Skullcandy Crusher Evos on maximum bass is an ethereal listening experience that words cannot match. Wondrous work!
Dude this is so awesome! That opening is golden haha both the logo reveal through the old computer, then the flying computer! Music is great too love that the old Windows sounds are distinguishable and still blend in so nicely. Fantastic job!
Uhhh... Obscura! Obscura!! Ya, those flying toasters did made me laugh, but this is a nice ambient for me to study and relax with. Let's see how you do to remix NT 5.0 (Beta 2)'s startup tune!
Really liked the 95 and 98 pieces both for the nostalgia angle and the great ambient tracks. The NT track has less nostalgia to it, but still holds up great as an ambient piece!
Less Nostalgia? Mayhaps for you, I oft visited my grandfather's workplace where Windows NT 4.0-based machines were rife from the mid-90's through the early 2000's. Those were true workstations, he ensured a hospital's backup power plant never failed. Those machines were reliable as ever, even as external electric providers weren't!
💜💜💜To anyone reading this,you are enough,you're beautiful( or handsome),loved and stay strong. Have a wonderful day/night.❤🎉❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🇺🇲🇺🇸🇺🇸👋😊😊😊😊😊😊😊👋👋👋
this is some great stuff man. would u ever consider doing a windows XP night ambience like the one in the thumbnail with the visuals ? With the green hills and grass blades shimmering and waving and everything would be beautiful
Thanks a ton! 💜 I am getting more comfortable making bigger risks now with more complex visual story telling now that people actually like to watch my stuff haha.
Of course and thank you sincerely as well! Your tracks have really helped me with my work focus and meditations, really glad I stumbled on your channel and looking forward to subsequent windows masterpieces!@@RetrovexAmbient
If you do plan to make all of the Windows startup sounds as ambient music, I'd be especially impressed with anything you'd come up with starting with Windows Vista/7.
Hi, I just recently watched your videos. And I really like this theme with retro windows. And how you use this design and how creative and peaceful it is😍
As someone that practically enjoys older Windows in today's environment, despite their outdated state and all, first you've drawn me in with 95 being relatable, then it was 98 to fly over my expectations completely and now this NT(4) one... Well played - you have mastered a New Technology for ambience. Especially looking towards XP, but we still have 2000 (and, indirectly, ME) first. 🖖
These soundcapes are are really cool. Ithink for me the XP one will hit the hardest. Although my first computer was win95 and upgraded to 98, I can't really remember the system sounds very well from them and I missed NT entirely :-(
It just occurred to me we are rapidly approaching an era where the flying toaster meme will be forgotten, if it hasn't already happened. Do people even _use_ screen savers anymore?

I like to think there's a little computer happily blasting through space with his own tiny rocket!
you mean the Voyager space probes? :3
with toasters around
Honestly, I prefer the old PCs of the past. It was a much more innocent and imaginative time. I look back on those days happily.

Windows NT already? We're moving up in the world :D
Yeah.
Probably to a new grassy blissful world if I had to guess where this is leading to.... Please tell me we are skipping windows ME.
I thought I'd heard every variety of ambient soundscape, but you've hit on something really original with this series. Keep them coming!
Hehehehe .. just you wait till april fools .. 😎
Early Macintosh stuff 🤔
@@RetrovexAmbient I'm hoping for a 'tada.wav' ambience...
Agreed

After Dark and classic Windows! What a treat!
Love this “trilogy!”
The audio and visuals nostalgic for a different time.
And here to capture that Windows has ascended… traversing space & time!
I love your approach here. I can't wait until Windows XP.
Loving the vibes! Reminds me of when computers were just babies 🥹😭
These soundscapes are great. If I've got some pressure or stress, these really calm my mind. I can listen to them over and over again.
A great contribution for people who misses the good times....
Flying toasters are a mood, a very good ambient mood 😊 Keep em coming!
Thank youuu!! This was a very toasty episode haha
new one is coming out this coming week💙💙
@@RetrovexAmbient Goody goody! I have high expectations; as I always do for these vids. Rock on! 😄
I really like these being a 90's kid really brings me back.
The sounds of my High School Secondary School years at Epping Secondary College in Melbourne Australia 🇦🇺 ❤👌
PC Speaker Ambiance when haha nice one!
This is an amazing antidepressant I never knew existed until today. Nostalgia and serenity expertly blended. Thank you!

What was your first OS? :)

Love this, especially the animation. Has a sense of wonder like a John Serrie album.
ooh youre right! it does have that blissful Serrie space sound
love that Jonn Serrie sound!
Beautiful relaxing video to play on your TV when you are at home doing regular work.

Yet another amazing soundscape! 💜 I am glad I was able to attend the live premiere! ✨
Thanks for attending AND being a part of the episode 💜 was it cosy in that toaster? 😄
That was quick!
Was it? Felt like forever to me 😭
So many edits 💀
Nostalgic sounds indeed, loving it. i like the computer drifting in space
These have been awesome for studying! Can't wait for Vista and Windows 7 - then it'll be _really_ nostalgic ;)
The sounds are absolutely fantastic, and the fly computer looks so out of place in the endless void of space. 😂
Well done. 👍
FIRST!, I can't wait for this to drop.
Hahah you a fast one! 💜
I absolutely love the way this music sounds but oh boy do those flying toasters startle me whenever I ALT+TAB back to the internet
Dude this is so awesome! That opening is golden haha both the logo reveal through the old computer, then the flying computer! Music is great too love that the old Windows sounds are distinguishable and still blend in so nicely. Fantastic job!

Great job, love these Windows inspired ambient pieces
I'm so glad I found your channel! It's very inspiring. Great episode!
This channel is a blessing
I'm a big fan of your ambient bud, great music, even without anything related to windows. Fantastic, keep it up, god bless you mwah xoxo
Another vast and beautiful collision of the past and present. Grand stuff, Retrovex!
Cheers Alex! 💜 I love doing these!
@@RetrovexAmbientDouble points for doing everything yourself. The field is littered with lesser AI slop and imagery.
NT branding was awesome!
Truly perfection.
awesome series man keep it up!!
Amazing. So relaxing to listen.
YOURE AMAZING IN
THROUGHOUT!!!!!!!!
I was very sad, this fixed me, thank you
Wonderful, thank you
Nice ty. Keep them coming.
Perfect mood
Very very nice!!!

@@phenom957 Oh, NT is nostalgic, but it doesn't have signature sounds like 95 and 98 did - at least not in my memory.

Of course and thank you sincerely as well! Your tracks have really helped me with my work focus and meditations, really glad I stumbled on your channel and looking forward to subsequent windows masterpieces!@@RetrovexAmbient
I'd love to see a Windows 3.1 episode!
this series reminds me of progress bar the hyper-casual game
dude you rock. you deserve more views and subs
Great stuff.
Souds like another masterpiece is in happening.
If you do plan to make all of the Windows startup sounds as ambient music, I'd be especially impressed with anything you'd come up with starting with Windows Vista/7.
Reminds me of Spore! Especially the main menu theme.
These are great!
Hi, I just recently watched your videos. And I really like this theme with retro windows. And how you use this design and how creative and peaceful it is😍
I quite like these windows ones.
Perfect 👌🏽
Amazing
Thank you so much! I'm super glad you do!
Sounds amazing! Not finding the windows ambient songs on spotify though D=
Man wtf the background video is siiick

Some old school flying toasters :) Nostalgic Soundscapes OS9 coming?? :D
Thanks again for this gift. I wonder if your next animation will show the computer arriving to some planet.
who knows~ 👀
@@RetrovexAmbient
OMG, I like it ❤❤
Great talent i see there my fren
I imagine the next step of memories. Go hyperdimensional with Win2040😅 (obviously it will be named windows 15 or something like that)
It went to outerspace! 😂 😄
🚀

The very beginning of the Windows Login sounds like the start of a Bird of Prey decloaking.
Quite a journey
Today I had a dream that I was sent on a space mission from NASA. Now I know what would be my soundtrack if it was true.
the prophecies were true!!
"I toast, therefore I am"
Awesome! Will be the Windows XP the next?
Please do something with the Cisco default hold music!
i like how this PC become higher and higher over the ocean in first part.
wow toasters fly O_O
Can you make windows longhorn themed ambience? Thanks and love in advance❤❤
Already exists.
Please do some of the Microsoft Plus sound effects like the Utopia sound scheme
@DavesGarage might like this!
my little toast could never fly.
This looks/feels like a loading screen from some cool ass PS2 game
@@jordough4495 Windows NT: Interstellar Travelling: The Game
Just flying thru space with winged toasters, wbu?
Ok what's up with the toaster's?
One of the wallpapers in win95 and winNT is an animated flying toaster. Look at it on Google you'll see what I'm talking about.
Blue Halo
YEEEHAAAA
It just occurred to me we are rapidly approaching an era where the flying toaster meme will be forgotten, if it hasn't already happened. Do people even _use_ screen savers anymore?
No. I didn't even know it was from a screensaver
I will achieve Moksha listening to this
Did any kids actually grow up with NT, or was it just something their parents used at work? Also, great job!
I've never even heard of NT. My first was 95
@MentalParadox I don't blame you. NT OSs before XP were meant for businesses while 9X/MS DOS was for common users.
