Space

This is man’s first journey into outer space and as you look out of your porthole you are in awe as you see wonders that no one else has ever seen. But you are well aware of your surroundings by the constant rumble of your engines, the sound of data being transmitted back to terra firma and your beating heart as you do not know what dangers you will encounter.

This is another one that is somewhat different than the norm here.

This uses the style Space1 – Spacious Soundtrack sty almost verbatim. The only difference is that I made the drums louder, copied them and placed one bass drum beat right after the other. Everything else is as BiaB generated but I did change the instrumentation quite drastically.

Here are the BiaB generated tracks with my sound names:
Drums – orchestra Timpani from Kontakt
Guitar – Brightness – a TTS-1 GM patch
Strings – Choir – a TTS-1 GM patch
Bass – Ghost Bass – a Kontakt patch
Piano – various layered pads

All leads were played with my MIDI keyboard Controller.

I hope you like this one.

Hi, Mario !

This was just fantastic !
How did you create that
sound in the background that sounds
like a choir ? :)) Just super !!:))

This should be the background
music to a space film like
space odyssey !!!!:))

Within the tune one starts
to feel weightless in between, just magical !!

Cheers
Dani

Mario, another excellent production that shows how far one can stretch the boundaries with this system.

The choir voicings give it interest, punctuated with the layered pads. Nice!

Hi Mario
Definitely soundtrack music.
We have a composer here,Karl Jenkins, who writes multi layered music for choir and orchestra. This stands with the best.

Hi Mario,

As with just about all of your music, every time I listen, you take me to a whole new world of sounds and possibilities. It's always a pleasure. I'd love to see a video backing for this! It would be awesome.

All the best,
Noel

Mario, This is fantastic. Excellent soundtrack music. You should be able to get this into one of the licensing libraries. You definitely have a talent for this type of thing. I really enjoyed it. Tom

Thanx all for listening and the very kind comments.

Dani, they are pads from a third party Kontakt software. I am not at my music computer but if you have Kontakt and want the exact names just let me know.

Noel, if you or anyone else wants to put a video to this be my guest. All I ask is that you include my name as the composer and player.

Janice & Bud, this work is all MIDI. No RTs were used on this one.

That's what I get for bluetooth streaming my iPhone to my living room stereo system. The sound is great but it's hard to read on the phone! Add that to my sheer ignorance of just how good midi tracks sound now days. I'm now in more awe.
