Spoq - Cotton Blade Album Cover

"A Little Later Than I Wanted" by electronic music artist Spoq is a delightful and beautiful, cinematic Lofi-Chillout album spanning over 13 tracks, each proof of the artist's prowess in crafting intelligent compositions that effortlessly transcend genre boundaries. With an adept hand, Spoq seamlessly weaves together elements of ambient warmth, acoustic instruments, synthetic melodies, Lofi Hip-hop, Garage and Triphop rhythms and percussion born from the depths of found sounds, all accentuated by sharp, glitchy textures.This album exudes a dualistic aura, wherein playful nostalgia intertwines with a subtle undercurrent of melancholy. While devoid of vocals, Spoq's instrumental arrangements are a veritable patchwork of sonic intricacies, layered with a love for details that reveals new depths upon each listen.Throughout the album's sonic landscape, Spoq skillfully navigates between moments of introspection, ridiculously trippy vibes, to a sometimes almost epic, cinematic atmosphere, creating a dynamic journey that ebbs and flows with a captivating allure. Most refreshingly, this album is at times so playfully weird, it becomes obvious, that it doesn't always take itself so seriously. "A Little Later Than I Wanted" stands as an unusual Lofi-Chill album in Spoq's illustrious discography. With its rich tapestry of sound, emotive depth and sprinkles of humour, this album is a must-listen for connoisseurs of electronic music seeking a fresh auditory experience.

About

Spoq is an electronic music project created by songwriter and composer Wolfram Gruss. Since 2014, Spoq has released a vast collection of engaging, intelligent, and experimental tracks. The project is at home in various genres, such as Downtempo, Lofi-Hiphop, Garage, Wave, Ambient, and IDM, but also ventures into new forms of sonic expression. The music is often cinematic and thought-provoking, blending acoustic and classical instruments and melodies with massive beats, crisp electronic percussion, deep synthetic basslines, and atmospheres. Wolfram frequently uses sampled found noises, which he processes into instruments, adding a unique organic feel to the compositions.


However, the project's primary objective is to evoke contrasting emotions. The tracks are complex, both in their sonic depth and dramatic storytelling. Spoq knows like few others to use the power of subtelties to send his audience on an emotional rollercoaster. The music can seamlessly move from a calm and comfortable state to an outburst of surprising happiness or the darkest, saddest moods within one single track. Although Spoq's music may appear sweet and soft, it has a biting edge that makes it an exceptional listening experience.


Wolfram Gruss resides in Aschaffenburg, Germany, and works full-time as a composer and sound designer for film, documentary, advertisement, interactive and live media. In addition, he releases his own tracks as Spoq, PNFA and Magnus Moone on independent and major labels.

Commercial Licensing

All Spoq tracks are available for commerical licensing. You can either purchase a license directly from me or from one of my partners. If you have any inquiries you can always send me an email. Let me know which track you are interested in, what project you want to use it in and where it will be shown and I will promtly reply with an offer.


All of my music is available for licensing on these platforms:

Youtube Content ID

The Youtube Content ID system was setup to protect copyrighted material from abuse. All my music is copyrighted / all rights reserved and in the Content ID Database. If you upload a video with a track of mine which you purchased a license for to Youtube, you will most likely receive this notice (it's NOT a warning and NOT a copyright strike), that copyrighted material has been used. The claim will be issued by Diventa Music (that's the label I work with) via DigDis! (that's the distributor I work with). So what next?


If your video is just fun and not monetized you don't need to even bother. The way the label / distributor has instructed Youtube, the claim will have no effect on your video. It's literally just a notice and you do not have to do anything unless you either want the claim gone anyway or you plan on monetizing the video. Youtube does all this completely automatically and unfortunately there is no way to release claims beforehand. So you can now either contest the claim on Youtube by uploading the receipt of your license and Youtube will check and release it. Or alternatively write me and I have it released manually. If you do have a monetized channel I would in general recommend to upload videos first in private mode, release all possible claims to make the video available for monetizing and then make it public.


If you ever have any questions or doubts about that let me know.

Reels / Social Media

No need to purchase a license if you just want to use Spoq tracks in the reels and videos you make with Tiktok, Instagram, Facebook etc. All Spoq tracks are already in the Meta and Byte Dance database. You can simply search for and add the track you wish.


This is only for pivate purposes and only within the respective network. It does NOT include paid preroll-ads or paid ads in general on any social network. For these purposes you need to obtain a commercial license.

No-Budget / Non-Profit / Student Works

I'm generally happy to support creative, non-commercial, non-profit, no- budget projects, student films etc. If you want my music for a project like that, just tell me about it and I'll most likely give you a free license in return for a credit and link.
