Ganymede

Ganymede

Ganymede is one of the four Gallilean moons of Jupiter. You can actually see them with binoculars on a clear night. So far, astronomers have discovered 79 moons of Jupiter, Ganymede being the largest. So now I'm thinking of writing spacey pieces for the other three Gallilean moons, sort of like Wookie's gas giants theme.  

One of the tracks has what I call Klaus Schulze noise effects, for example at 0:10 and 0:19. I've been trying to get that sound from my synths for a long time (years actually) and finally I figured out how to do it! Close enough anyway.

Thanks for listening/commenting

very interesting and soothing.jack c.

Nice piece Bjorn. I like how there are quite a few chromatic themes and pitch bends in there, but how the whole piece still gels together cohesively.

[musekamp]

Very nice! Looking forward to hearing the other moons!

[Wookiee]

@bjornpdx Is that a Gamelan (Gamelang or Gamelin) patch in there? Nice sounds and blends, this has overtones of early TD. Sweet.  

Something to drift to.

I also appreciate the nod, thanks.

I can see the Schulze connection. Even a bit of Eno in the piano style part. Nicely done.

Very nice.  I really enjoyed that.

Just the right amount of frivolity listening on headphones in a dark room. Your talent runs deep.

Wookie - Good ear. One of the tracks is a gamelan (Gamelan Wheel, an Omnisphere patch). I like it because it has kind of a mystical quality to it.
jack c -  thanks
antler - thanks for noticing the pitch bends. not so easy to do depending on the instrument
musekanp - thanks. I've been enjoying your space music too.
tracing arcs - KS is one of my heroes.
Jnicholson -  thanks appreciate the comment
David -  thanks so much. appreciate it!

Hi Bjorn,

Another great galactic piece of work!

An extremely soothing track that helps to put away the thoughts of the day.

Thanks for sharing.

Good Job!

That was quite a pleasant listen Bjorn - well done. The synths you used sounded excellent.

Jupiter has 79 moons - I didn't know that - interesting.

[Lynn Wilson]

Terrific song, Bjorn!  Thanks to you and Wookie, I feel I've been around the solar system.   This should be the launch song for all space flights!

[freddy j]

This is a very well done song and very pleasant to listen too.  The introduction of little sounds (e.g., around 3:18) was very clever.  Enjoyed the solar journey!

Nicely done, Bjorn! Very pleasant soundscape. I haven't tried any of the U-he softsynths but you found a bunch of suitable sounds here. You maybe could try go more nuts with the delays in the background so the echoes stays a little longer. Great work, now only 7 moons left (or  78 if you count them all)?
