I like to envision a small craft in the middle of nowhere, drifting...waiting. Waiting for rescue? Waiting for contact? Waiting for main power to come back online? Hopefully the music will generate a feeling of weightlessness, of drifting in the vast expanse of space, without being too dark or dissonant.
I did not pick the tunes based on titles. I just did a quick sampling of some of my ambient collection to come up with possible tracks. But it's interesting how many of the song titles fit right in with the "outer space" theme. Titles like Meissa, Deep Sky Time, 1st Lite & Asteroid Dawn work perfectly for this motif.

ReplyDeleteThanks in advance! Downloading it now. I've been really enjoying several of your mixes lately, especially "Silent Sorrow...". Great stuff.
ReplyDeleteSweet with the Lunar Testing Lab, big ups on this mix.
ReplyDeleteFour years later Sleepbot's playing this mix right now - Orange by Somni45 really stood out because it's gorgeous. Sadly the only place that sells the CDR doesn't sell it any more.
ReplyDeleteStill, it's a lovely mix.
