Poem: Black hole, black hole, man can barely comprehend The enormity of the power you hold within
First proposed by John Michell in 1784 This was the beginning and astronomers wanted more
A quandary, a distortion, of space and time You are an unparalleled beast and freakish paradigm
At your center may lie a gravitational singularity Where spacetime curvature and density become infinity
You consume asteroids, planets and even radiation Anything that gets too close will face annihilation
The universe is indeed a hostile place for life to thrive Full of violence and destruction; it’s hard to survive
So what is your purpose and what is your goal? To eventually consume the universe as a whole?
Something tells me that can’t be your role For even with you, God’s in control

My question is who's on piano. The Song Memo doesn't say.

Bas Thumper, Nice experiment! A bit repetitive, but love soundscape. Neat synth & bass work! Love Korg sounds. Thank you for sharing.

P.S. If you don't like to sing there is always a vocal synth. Some people here done incredible things with it. Would be interesting to hear it with the lyrics you wrote.
I like it, you play a nice bass motif and it's nicely arranged and mixed.
Overall I find it a bit monotonous, the same chords over and over again.
I would include more parts like the bridge to have more variety and keep the listener more interested in what might come next.
Thanks for the feedback. Yeah, obviously I tend toward repetition but monotony is not a good thing. This one has an A and a B phrase, I'll try to incorporate a C phrase on my next one . . . if can I remember

Nice Sc-iFi feel, captures the gloomy mood of the vast universe, like in a low budget space movie from the 60's. Very good selection of instruments to create the rhythmic bed. I don't find this tune monotonous, I'm already feeling I've been abducted by that unparalleled beast. I was expecting to hear big infinite reverb on a synth, but this tune works also without it, maybe the black hole is sucking all reflections Sounds like the bass is sometimes out of tune, but maybe that's because the distortion in space and time I'm quite sure you could find a Stephen Hawking sound-alike synthesizer to read the poem. That would be cool...
BassThumper, A suitably ominous soundscape.I liked all the synth sounds.Because you included your poem I was expecting a spoken word passage; did you consider that?
My question is who's on piano. The Song Memo doesn't say.
The drums do sound good here. I suppose a combination of the RD and your mix. good job.
The piano is midi from back in the day I suspect. So no one is playing it as it is computer generated.
Yes, I know the piano is MIDI but I was wondering who programmed the MIDI. They did a fine job.

Thanks Misha, sorry for the repetitiveness. I am aware of vocal synths but too much going on now for me to explore them . . . maybe someday.

Steve, this the perfect song for a long star ship journey to the final frontier. I liked everything about this one.
Great work!
Hey Mario, many thanks for the listen and positive feedback.
On our long journey let's be sure we have a good supply of Dilithium Crystals on board.
We don't want matter-antimatter contact; especially if black holes are in the neighborhood

We are both reading a current sci-fi book for which this would work very nicely in a film of same.
"At your center may lie a gravitational singularity Where spacetime curvature and density become infinity"
Ah yes ... a gate!
A sync library might like this as snippets here and there could fit in a variety of scenarios.
Well mixed and very nice bass lines.
J&B
Thanks so much for the listen and positive review.
But I suggest we first send in a probe to be sure that this gate actually works

Thanks Jannne, glad you didn't find in monotonous. I always tune my bass before recording, so maybe there's something else going on. And the Stephen Hawking synth is great idea, I would never have thought such a thing would be commercially available.

I like the slightly dissonant bass part...it adds some spice which made it def, not monotonous. Good playing by you on the keyboard & bass. Fun SciFi FX.

Thanks Robert, I didn't think to speak the poem myself but I like Janne's idea of a Stephen Hawking voice simulator if I could find one.

This reminds me a bit of Disney's "The Dark Hole" movie. It's pretty, but also too long.
Which was of the intent of the music, so... Keep experimenting!
I didn't know Disney did a black hole movie. I really never much enjoyed their productions.

User Video: Convert MIDI Chords into AI Vocal Harmonies with ACE Studio and Band-in-a-Box®
The Bob Doyle Media YouTube channel is known for demonstrating how you can creatively incorporate AI into your projects - from your song projects to avatar building to face swapping, and more!
His latest video, Convert MIDI Chords into AI Vocal Harmonies with ACE Studio and Band-in-a-Box, he explains in detail how you can use the Melodist feature in Band-in-a-Box with ACE Studio. Follow along as he goes from "nothing" to "something" with his Band-in-a-Box MIDI Melodist track, using ACE Studio to turn it into a vocal track (or tracks, you'll see) by adding lyrics for those notes that will trigger some amazing AI vocals!
