A minimal, interplanetary ambient tune for this week.  Tried to limit myself to only 4 instruments (ok, 5 with the background static in the beginning).  Saturn is Kronos (Zeus' Dad).  Happy Father's Day!  Enjoy and thanks for listening!

Lovely! Samples? CS80 macrosyn? Really love the simplicity + fullness

thanks!  no samples, all synths.   Most of it is FM synth (the pads, the "lead", and the echoey pseudo delayed arps) except the background noise that fades out after the beginning and the bass instrument which is a macrosyn vowel synth set to boil.  thanks for listening!

beautiful drifting away on excellent synth pads. great job.

That synth combo around the 1:40 is a super nice pairing of textures. One growls and the other howls.

was trying to contrast the two synths when the reverb drops out and they get dry and then slowly come back at odds with each other yet try to get them to gel - thanks!

Wouldn't mind floating through space with this song greeting me.

Love the pitch slides on the lead, but the jaw-dropping moment is that reverb-bathing-recontextualizing-texture switch at 2:24 -- insanely effective / goosebumps moment (without a harmonic cheat for the effect, purely textural -- mad kudos).

Super relaxing melodies that float above the lovely synth pads.  Really nice use of reverb too for the full effect.  Nice work!
