Album & listening
About Celestial Drift and listening online.
What is Celestial Drift?
Celestial Drift is a cinematic ambient instrumental album by Stanislav Manolii — ten tracks about space, consciousness, and emotion, designed for deep listening, relaxation, and creative experiences.
How many tracks are on the album?
The album contains 10 instrumental tracks, with a total runtime of about 37 minutes. You can play each track individually or listen to the full album in order.
Can I listen to the album for free on the site?
Yes. The player on the home page lets you stream the full album in your browser — no account and no mandatory download.
Can I download tracks from the site?
The site is built for online streaming. Commercial downloads or redistribution of audio files are not offered here — for licensing or project use, please contact me.
Cosmic player
Controls, playback, and saved preferences.
How do I start playback?
Click any track in the list or press Play in the player. Use Previous/Next to navigate; your progress is saved automatically in the browser.
What do Shuffle and Repeat do?
Shuffle randomizes track order for a surprise experience. Repeat has three states: off, repeat album, or repeat the current track.
Are there keyboard shortcuts?
Yes: Space (play/pause), left/right arrows (previous/next track), up/down (volume). They work when the player is visible on the page.
Does the player remember my settings?
Yes. Volume, current track, progress, Shuffle/Repeat, and display preferences are stored locally (localStorage) and restored when you return.
TV Mode
Cinematic ambient background — fire and rain.
What is TV Mode?
TV Mode adds an ambient video background (fireplace or rain with thunder) synced with the player — a cinematic listening experience for home or large screens.
Which devices support TV Mode?
TV Mode is available on large screens: PC, laptop, Smart TV (browser), and tablets in landscape (minimum width ~1025px). On phones you will see an informational message — audio playback works normally.
Which ambiences can I choose?
Currently: Fireplace and Rain + thunder. You can adjust music volume and ambient volume separately in the player controls.
Why won’t the video load?
Check your internet connection — video files are several MB. Hard-refresh the page (Ctrl+F5). TV Mode requires a modern browser (Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Edge) on desktop or TV.
Booklet & Universe
Visual materials and artistic context.
What is the digital booklet?
The digital booklet is a visual experience for the album — artwork, texts, and graphic atmosphere. Open it from the menu: Digital booklet.
What is the Musical Universe?
The Musical Universe extends the Celestial Drift world with context, symbols, and an explorable experience. Open Musical Universe from the navigation.
Languages & access
Availability, devices, and languages.
Which languages is the site available in?
The site is available in Romanian, English, German, and Russian. Switch language from the header or footer — content and the player adapt accordingly.
Does it work on Smart TV?
Yes, for listening in the browser on Smart TV. TV Mode (video background) works on large screens; it is intentionally disabled on phones for performance.
Does the site work offline?
Not fully. The player needs a connection for audio and video files. Your local preferences remain saved in the browser.
