bjornpdx Posted June 22, 2023 Share Posted June 22, 2023 Galaxy HD 1 Galaxy HD 1 is one of the most distant known galaxies, about 33.3 billion light years away. This project didn't come out space music enough and I was going to start over but decided to insert some audio clips to make things more interesting. The clips are bits of dialog from the movie 2001, HAL 9000 vs Dave the astronaut. Thanks for listening/comments. -Bjorn 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FreeEarCandy Posted June 22, 2023 Share Posted June 22, 2023 I thought the track came out space music enough. I have noticed that the movie 2001: A Space Odyssey is making a comeback ever since AI has got everyone thinking there is a ghost in the code. Strange times. With or without the added audio I think you hit the mark, Bjorn. Cool track! - Dean 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bjornpdx Posted June 22, 2023 Author Share Posted June 22, 2023 Dean - thanks! I'm going to have to look into this ghost code you mentioned. Never heard of it. I think I'm going to do this one again but without the audio clips from the movie, as per your suggestion. Besides I'm not sure if I'm violating copyright laws with the short clips but I'm not selling anything and this is just a hobby. Jack - thanks!

Kevin Walsh Posted June 22, 2023 Share Posted June 22, 2023 Sounds pretty spacey to me! Well done. I don't think I'd know where to start to do something like this. Very cool sounds. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bajan Blue Posted June 24, 2023 Share Posted June 24, 2023 Hi Bjorn - 2001 is my most favorite film EVER - Kubrick was a superb director - he made some brilliant films, The Shining, Dr Strangelove, Clockwork Orange, Full Metal Jacket, Barry Lyndon etc etc But 2001 I can and do watch over and over. it really shows up many modern films with all their flash and CGI - but still cannot compare to his skill and craft, especially when you think the film is from 1968. Your music would fit right in - it sounds exactly spacey enough to me!! Superb Stuff Nigel 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wookiee Posted June 24, 2023 Share Posted June 24, 2023 Very Space Night stuff, I was lucky enough to see 2001 in full Cinerama when I was a little Wookieelet. It has been one of my favourite films I loved the book. I like this @bjornpdx very cool, hints of Vangelis in those horns. CS-80? Daisy, Daisy Daisy. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ross Smithe Posted June 24, 2023 Share Posted June 24, 2023 Nice track Bjorn! Definitely does have a weightless, floaty vibe to it, which gives it the space music feel for sure. 2001 clips are a cool touch. Great work! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bjornpdx Posted June 24, 2023 Author Share Posted June 24, 2023 Wookie - The lead synth is Cherry Audio Elka-X and I used preset "1492 Lead Lines" with some filter tweaking. I find myself using that vst or Arturia CS-80 most of the time. Kevin - thanks. Space music - no need to worry about measures, time signatures or chords and sometimes not even the key you're in. Nigel, Ross - thanks. Yeah, I love that movie too. Only thing, I wish they had placed it further off in time, like maybe 2101. Same with Bladerunner. We're way past 2001 and we don't have any of those space ships and flying cars. We do have smart phones though, which I don't think were represented in the movie. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RexRed Posted June 25, 2023 Share Posted June 25, 2023 Awesome narrative with a great space experience soundtrack! 👍😊 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
noynekker Posted June 26, 2023 Share Posted June 26, 2023 Far out Bjorn ! Some great synth work, very enjoyable Sunday listen, and I also enjoyed the movie track overdubs . . . that movie was always ahead of it's time, made us think outside the box, or made us wonder if there was even a box . . . 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Larry T. Posted June 27, 2023 Share Posted June 27, 2023 As a homage to the film this works incredibly well. I also think it would stand extremely well on its own without the audio clips. Great work as always🎶🎶🎶🎶 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
musekamp Posted June 28, 2023 Share Posted June 28, 2023 Very nice track! I liked the arpeggio patterns and the way everything builds over time. The celeste-like melodies at the beginning and end, contrasting with the bigger synth pads and lead lines in the middle work very well together. Occasionally I thought the audio clips were a little too prominent, but they definitely add to the overall atmosphere. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
treesha Posted June 29, 2023 Share Posted June 29, 2023 Lovely spacey swirly sounds with some darkness, eeriness and uneasiness tastefully mixed in. It has a sense of traveling to it. The clips you chose are clever and well processed for the mood. Well done. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
