Orbital Waltz

Voice fragment: NASA Quindar: Sound #1 (https://soundcloud.com/nasa/sets/solar-system-beyond-sounds). Chirping: Comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko. Extensive rewritten following my wife's suggestions.

Heh.

I really wanted to use the 67P recording for something. But I think you've done a fine job. Isn't it cool?
Lovely track.

I'm really fan of your music. This track is really SF. Reminds me of many lectures. Awesome treatments! Love the sound of the space bug!
It is nearly the end of the year, but how can we stay in touch ? I don't know what will happen next, it is almost frightening ^^

Thanks Vince! It's nice to have something positive happening alongside all the negatives we have to deal with.

Well, the upcoming end of the year isn't exactly a Mayan calendar doomsday. Do you have DropBox? -- we could try a collaboration. My email is [email protected].

Yup, I'll send you a mail, and we could go over the Mayan doomsday.

Excellent usage of the comet recording.  The other spacey noises are awesome too.  Really nice track.

A perfect sci-fi soundtrack!

Wow super moody!

Thank you NASA.  Your tunes always have like a filtered tone to them.  Possibly artifacts of some of the processing?  Artifacts are good btw  smile

Thanks, everybody. I really appreciate your comments (or should that be "comets"). The "filtered tone" rdomain refers to is probably a side-effect of my partial hearing-loss (certain frequencies really bother me).

Cinematic! Sounds awesome.

this is nice!!
