Searching for a Star Port

Welcome, welcome, welcome! Thank you so much for coming back to these parts for yet another installment of weirdly repetitive but sometimes interesting sounds that occasionally resemble music!
I spent most of this week working on one project I had started last week, but I super wasn't feeling it. So at 5am on Thursday morning, while I was at airport waiting to board a plane to visit family, I went back to a blank canvas and started to fiddle around with the Fluted Macrosynth synth and found a few cool sounds. I then explored a bit with the Digital Filter LP Macrosynth synth and found yet another cool sound I liked, so used that to put down some two-key chords. From there, I knew I wanted to add a main synth lead, so I messed around with the Vosim Macrosynth until I found something that could carry a good melody.
The main pieces of this were put together in the 1.5h I waited at the airport before boarding and during the first 30min immediately after boarding. However, I was so absolutely destroyed after having to wake up at 4am to go to the airport that I had to put the M8 down and just sleep through the rest of the flight.
Finally, today, after a couple of days of not touching the M8, I got back to the song and was able to wrap it up. I feel like it has a little bit of a sci-fi vibe. Like, I can see a little tiny miner ship that's carrying a load of valuable ore, but its navigation system bugged out, so the pilot is forced to just wing it and try to find a star port to land on, all by his own wits.
As an aside, I've spent the last couple of days just chilling with family and exchanging old stories. I am incredibly grateful to have these wonderful people in my life, even though I don't get to see them often. I am just so damn lucky. Yeah, family can be messy, there can be problems, there can be drama and other nonsense. But damn, I care about and love these people so deeply.
Anyways, I hope y'all have had a fantastic week and weekend!
Cheers!!!
