Multi-Instrumentalist Pshycotic Beats Releases Latest Album 'Soundtrack Without A Movie'

Madrid-born composer, producer, and multi-instrumentalist Andrés Costureras, the visionary behind Pshycotic Beats, returns with his most daring and introspective work to date: the 8-track album Soundtrack Without A Movie. At its centre lies “Silence”, a luminous single that bridges the realms of electronica and orchestral grandeur, delivering a meditative exploration of stillness amid the modern world’s relentless noise.

Costureras, who named his project after his own shy nature, has long been known for transforming personal vulnerability into art. Over the past fifteen years, he has built an idiosyncratic body of work that defies genre, from the early trilogy of albums dissecting mental health to 2013’s Dormihcum, where he unveiled his haunting baritone voice and cemented his reputation as an “electro-crooner” for the avant-garde age. Tracks like “Killer Shangri-Lah,” later immortalised in Killing Eve, revealed his uncanny gift for merging beauty and unease.

With Soundtrack Without A Movie, Costureras extends that legacy into new terrain. The album unfolds as a sonic journey through serenity and tension, a 24-hour trip to the forest designed to immerse the listener in sound and silence alike. It’s not just an album, it’s a conceptual ecosystem.

The lead single “Silence” encapsulates this vision perfectly. Written and produced in his home studio using Logic Pro, the song layers live strings — violin, viola, cello, and bass — across hundreds of meticulously arranged tracks. The result is a sweeping orchestral-electronic piece that feels both cinematic and intimate.

“Silence is a song to stillness,” Costureras explains, “to the mental state of absolute peace and absence of noise, toxicity, apocalypse, death, war, data, and AI. Music that illustrates the total fulfilment of mind and body, the unstoppable expansion of the five senses.”

That idea, finding stillness in an overstimulated world, pulses through the entire record. Across eight compositions, Costureras crafts a fragile balance between escape and confrontation. As the final track closes with an image of black smoke rising, it reminds listeners that peace, however fleeting, exists in contrast to chaos.

The album also arrives at a deeply personal crossroads. In 2023, Costureras was formally diagnosed with Type 2 Bipolar Disorder after nearly three decades of misdiagnosis. Instead of retreating, he has channelled his experience into art that feels redemptive, layered with clarity and compassion.

In an age of distraction, Costureras asks for something rare, active listening. Soundtrack Without A Movie isn’t just heard; it’s experienced. It’s an album that breathes, trembles, and expands, reaffirming Pshycotic Beats as one of Europe’s most singular voices in experimental pop.
