Marc Soucy has released “That Thing You Said,” the thirteenth single in his year-long music series STIR: Soundscapes Evoking Realities Only Imagined. The series, which began in June 2024, is set to conclude with one final studio track, “Through the Quadrangle,” scheduled for release on June 6, 2025.
This latest piece offers a smoother and more relaxed sound compared to earlier entries in the series. Featuring a combination of strings, harmonica, and subtle electronic textures, “That Thing You Said” leans toward a ballad-like structure. The atmosphere it creates is lighter and more reflective, showing a different side of Soucy’s compositional style.
While much of Soucy’s previous work explored surreal and tension-driven soundscapes, this track takes a gentler approach. It focuses on emotional clarity through a simple, melodic structure. The production keeps things direct, allowing listeners to focus on the mood and flow of the piece rather than being overwhelmed by layers of complexity.
This release is part of Soucy’s effort to build a body of work that supports visual storytelling. The music is created with sync opportunities in mind, but still holds artistic weight on its own. With each new track, the STIR series has shown its interest in blending genres and pushing personal boundaries.
Soucy’s music is available on all major streaming platforms. A growing catalog is available for licensing, and his IMDB page continues to expand with new credits.
