Expansive, weightless synth landscapes designed for planetariums. The sound of drifting through the cosmos with a sense of profound peace and cinematic scale.

Jonn Serrie creates music that feels like it was recorded in the vacuum of space, yet it is filled with a surprising, breathable warmth. His sound is defined by massive, slow-moving synthesizer pads that stretch toward the horizon, layered with shimmering melodic accents that twinkle like distant stars. It is the definitive 'Space Music' aesthetic: majestic, unhurried, and deeply immersive.
What sets Serrie apart is his background as a pilot and his work with NASA and planetariums. Unlike darker, more abrasive ambient artists, Serrie maintains a sense of romanticism and wonder. His textures are liquid and polished, avoiding the grit of lo-fi for a high-fidelity experience that mimics the awe of looking through a high-powered telescope. There is a spiritual, almost choral quality to his synth arrangements that suggests the infinite.
Start with 'And the Stars Go With You' to hear the foundational blueprint of the genre. It was composed as a tribute to the Challenger astronauts and perfectly captures the duality of his work: the cold reality of the void balanced by the enduring warmth of the human spirit. It is the ultimate soundtrack for stargazing or deep meditation.
Jonn Serrie is an American composer of space music, a genre of ambient electronic music, and new age music. He has recorded over 30 albums and worked on projects for Lucasfilm, IMAX Corporation, NASA, the United States Navy, Hayden Planetarium, Expo Seville, and CNN.
