Apollonian Elements

possibly will be used as a sitari track, other project, or maybe stand alone wb theme. I interpreted the theme of space by utilizing some samples from NASA's soundcloud page. i wanted to make human communication seem echoing forever in space once recorded. the mass duplication of these events such as Apollo launch will forever reverberate. well, at least as long as humans are around, or some other more intelligent race from other worlds or dimensions finds it or can somehow hear it as we do.
once i made the space sound uncontained by applying many different types of delays, echoes, and reverbs to the samples, i somewhat tied it together with some drum sounds and synthesizer sounds that weave in and out of the entropy. to top it all off, i also included both clean and interestingly warped and texturized samples of sounds recorded by satellites around our solar system such as a Jupiter moon, basically strange space sounds. lightning from jupiter, saturn's aurora, etc.
"The drama’s exhibition of the phenomena of suffering individuals (Apollonian elements) forces upon the audience the struggle, “the pain, the destruction of phenomena,” which in turn communicates “the exuberant fertility of the universal.” The spectators then become, as it were, one with the infinite primordial joy in existence, and we anticipate, in Dionysian ecstasy, the indestructibility and eternity of this joy."
