A Slow Riot At The Space Station

By Plantrain on November 2, 2014 10:23 pm

A drum machine jam with some added synth and bass. Voice samples are from one of the recordings that NASA kindly has released into the public domain. Since I settled on the title quite early in the week (imagining what a weightless riot would look like), I spent most of the week listening through various space related recordings to find something that would fit the title. Unsurprisingly there have not been any riots at any space stations, so I settled on samples from a random space station mission.
In retrospect I probably should have spent more time making music and less time listening to space travel recordings, but I think it came together in a way at the end.

I forgot I wanted to check those samples!

Beautiful--great noisy sounds and structure. 

Great stuff here... nice ambiance.

Slo-mo moody. You wouldn't want to be breaking stuff aboard a space station :-)

Love the atmosphere, Still need to look at those nasa samples.

Wicked!

wow. Intense and dark atmosphere. Love the way you mixed in the vocal parts. Great work!

It definitely invokes space.  Dig the NASA samples.  Nice job.

Thanks! In the end the samples weren't from the latest NASA Soundcloud 'release' but from the massive resource they over time have uploaded to Archive.org. Well worth digging through as well.

awesome!
