Lol, I love that the dude that lives on the moon is simply dubbed Moon Dude.
Loving the main melodic motif and its modulations. It's a great sound. The trilling hihats add a lot of character to the track as well. I like how laid back this is too. I think that much in the same way you've commented about liking my chord progressions, I kind of just want to sit down and transcribe your music so I can learn a bit about your compositional choices 
. I'd love to write more music like this.
Really enjoyed the progression and how the bass steers it along and guides the strings. The hihats and bells give it that epic space journey feel too. m-O-O-n spells m00n dude!
Despite the rapid rolls in the snare or hat, this track has a certain kind of deliberate heaviness to it. It doesn't always work but I like how it plays out in this song at least for most of its length. The construction is 'simple' (arp chord + melody every bar or so) but it works really well!
The piano melody/progression has a mesmerizing quality to it, feels like it's always headed somewhere even in parts where it's repeating two chords. 1:38 and 2:22 were extremely satisfying transitions. Way cool!
This moon dude seems rather duplicitous, but his theme song is rad as fuck.
This is not his theme song, this is the song of the legend of Moon Dude and it's very mellow, but definitely as cosmic.

The moon dude - this is random, and just perfect. Beautiful quiet piece that makes me want to fight for the moon too.
Can I meet the Moon Dude? Sounds like someone fun to hang with and grab a drink.
Great composition, btw. This sounds so mellow and nice. Flows beautifully. Great job!
Hell yeah, I just imagine this dude running shit up there with a whole crew of little space guys slangin moon rocks. I don’t think the moon Barron knows what he’s in for when he gets there.
This track is cool as hell though man, love the epic down tempo beat that’s propelling it.
this is the theme of moon dude chillin drinking a moon coffee while looking out over the craters
love the hi hats and the strings

Feel free to transcribe away! I’d love to see what you take away / come up with, and I’m happy to lend stems / midi / whatever might be helpful.

Thanks! The Moon Dude is definitely many things, and perhaps not all of them commendable. But above all else, he is a dude who lives on the moon. He is the Moon Dude.

Hehe, I’d like to meet the Moon Dude as well. Alas, I have no way of getting to the moon right now. 
Thanks for listening!

Thank you! Not to give away too much, but I think Moon Dude and the Moon Barron definitely have a score to settle (once I settle on how to score that fight scene, that is!).

Thanks! Wouldn’t mind having moon coffee and craters sometime. Sounds yummy.
