It's amusing to me that you have a clearer thematic idea for your instrumentals than I do for songs with lyrics. There's something really snappy about the chopped feeling some of the percussion has. I like it. Epic outro. Nice job!

Thank you for listening and for nice comment! If i had more time, I would improve the transitions as it feels a bit choppy. It feels like vignettes in a way, which is not too bad, but the transition from the first piano to the electro bit is a bit abrupt.

Thank you! To be fully honest, I had this image of the astronaut when I was doing a sanity check of one of the latter versions. I did not have a vision, more like floating impressions, but closing my eyes and listening to it, the vision formed and it helped me get all the sheeps in line to make a single thematically-consistent track. That's often the case. I throw random bits at the wall and sometimes some idea will rise from it.

Melodically cohesive with a foreboding feeling! I loved the bass-y octave-y piano chords. Could have been the soundtrack to a spacefaring action film trailer with that ramp around 3:30 and the sudden contrast at the end. Great, thank you!

Nicely done!

J'aime beaucoup la façon dont tu composes, presque toujours avec une histoire en tête. Je n'ai pas vraiment ce procédé, mais ca marche vraiment dans ton cas. J'aime beaucoup le piano sur la track.

Bravo.

Love those piano arps.  Makes me feel the space travel.  Also love the scale this is in.  The main piano melody sets the groundwork but then your signature drum fills that I'm always so fond of kick the hyperdrive into gear.  The synth outro gives it those spooky uncharted vibes.  Being the space geek I thought I was I never knew about the Oort Cloud til just now!  So cool.  NASA's website "In the silence and darkness between the stars".  I read that as the intro was going and was like "yaaaaaais" Well done fraind!

Nice inspiration for a song! cool beat as always, I also wanna give props to the tasteful bassline.

At 1:20smth the little piano melody starts, I like it! it's simple and effective, good contrast to the more agitated beat. the delayful synth after is also really cool and spacey. those two having a dialogue feels like the contrast between earth and space stuff, nice touch!

crazy drum breaks all over! are they written by hand or from samples?

Oooooh, this is so fun to listen to! Love the 2min mark! And the piano throughout is really nice. Great track!

I can literally feel the zero gravity float in this song, vibe is spot on

oh wow when the main melody kicks in... it sounds so familiar ... that vibe... wow I can't put my finger on it but it's great... feels like a movie/game/something I'm familiar with yet it's completely new

Love the swelling arppegios and the attentive progression... The ending is fantastic!

Yes, this song fits the story so well. Started with the more somber contenplative, then the burst into the great kedbreak-wave flow and the journey onward and beyond to the Oort cloud. The mood changes are great. There's hope in this journey and mystery too!

Hey Wow, so many changes, moods and emotional variations in one track. You bring the powerdrums from 3.13 to a very soft landing at 3.49. the spaceman here goes through up and downs indeed. Well done

I think at that distance Earth is beyond a dot. Curious where you're going to take this plot, because there's literally nothing after the Oort cloud for actual light years. And I mean that, because this song is very enticing.
Maybe if we think about him hard enough, he'll think about us and we'll meet in our dreams.

Thank you very much for the kind comment!

Merci! J'avoue que je me suis demande si j'avais pas inconsciemment pique ce piano quelque part. Ca sonne familier mais j'arrive pas a mettre le doight dessus.
Je lisais un livre sur la musique et la neuroscience qui apparement disait que differentes personnes interpretent la musique differente. Certains voient le groupe jouer quand ils entendent la musique alors que d'autres ont des visions, des images. D'autres ne voient rien de special. Je suis completement clairement dans le second cas. Je me demande si cette facon differente de vivre la musique a un impact sur la facon de composer en general.

The oort cloud is fantstic! So far away but still in our solar system. And it's not impossible that there are planets lurking thre, like a lot. They would be obviously pretty cold but that's such an exciting perspective. Thank you for the kind comment and I'm glad the sense of space was conveyed.

Thank you very much! I take the compliment about the piano melody very seriously coming from you since you're a master player of the instrument. Regarding the drums - this track has actually both. There are some samples i've used as they are, and there are sliced/reprogrammed drums. I usually stack them and it's not uncommon to have like 3-5 different layers of drums playing on the same section. THE MORE DRUMS THE BETTER!

Thank you very much!

Thank you! Let's all go to spaaace!

I was wondering if I might have unconsciously taken this melody from somewhere? I could not find it. It kinda reminded me a little of Him's "Join you in death", in vibe rather than in melody. Merci pour le commentaire!

Hope and mystery! And the occasional asteroid which you don't want to hit when you fly at 99% of lightspeed.

Thank you very much for your kind comment!

The journey is long until the closest star. Fortunately, we brought color pens, paper, and a couple of good books. We should be good maybe? I wonder if we will actually at least conquer the solar system before we combust as a specie. I am not asking for galactic domination - but at least solar system! Thank you for listening!

Arps can never go wrong! Thank you!

Thank you very much!

Man, that piano line at the beginning is beautiful. It's cool to hear the song gradually morph into sci-fi and yet still retain the melodic motif from the beginning. Excellent climactic ending too!

Changing tempo in a daw is so weird to me, something I really enjoy on the octatrack.

excellent piano work, i might want that :53 lead with a hi-end cut or a volume cut (just a little)

nice arrangement where you have multiple breaks, leads, then go back to the main theme

this might be one of your more "songier" pieces

whoa, did I even notice the BPM increase?  was it gradual or did I just miss it?  wild!!

Very cool, cinematic as always.  The outro on this is absolutely incredible.  When that sequence kicks in you just know something bigs coming.

I really like the bubbly arpy sci-fi sounds you incorporate in this, piano is swell as well.  Nice rockin hyperdrive build in the end.
