Interesting piece. Sounds more ambient than new age to me. As an ambient piece I like it a lot.

Thanks

Appreciate your having a listen and the supportive comments. I have a tough time with some genre classifications and am certainly open to changing it. I guess I was classifying this piece based on a catch-all 'new age' category I was familiar with years ago that has since since split into a number of sub-genres.
Glad you liked it.
Keep well,
Doug

I like the space sounds and the imagery suits the track. Its a really nice track to listen to. A lovely gentle tune that just meanders softly. Well done.

Powerful commentary! Thanks so much!

This was a tune that I have had played in a much simpler form on my Roland from at least 10 years ago. Now with GB I can add the extra synths and achieve a more complete effect. I may still record the minimalist version as well - we shall see.
Cheers,
Doug

As your description says it's quite contemplative. I love music that transports us and this certainly did that for me. It also has a touch of the cold and dangerous which true space truly is.
Best,
Charlie

I really appreciate your comments and am glad that the sensations I was trying to evoke came across. As I was saying to diviner, this is a variant of old music written about Ceres, but the inspiration to finally record it came from listening to your Cold Dreams 2, which I find to be music that totally takes me to another place.
Keep well,
Doug

The asteriod just floating, drifting... I like the electric sounding echos nice use of the synth!

really does work with that imagery. Very descriptive of space and the massive-ness of it all, but it's also excellent meditation music too. I love what you done with this, regards M

This is very nice, dreamy... and the synthy sparkly aspects do give it a bit of a sci-fi/space feel. I like the swooshing that goes by from time to time, that did feel like a moon going by. One thing I felt was missing though, was more bass. In space, everything is big and ponderous... so I kept wanting a big deep throbbing or droning synth to slowly wax and wane across the piece as the asteroid's gravity is impressed upon me and slowly passes by. Quite pleasing orchestration & satisfying chords, I like it!

comments and specific suggestions for improvement! I'm glad you liked the piece. I have had a few other ideas bouncing around for this as well and decided with your comment I now have a reason to do a remix. The new 'weighty bottom ended' work is subtitled Variant d and is now posted.

Thanks again, and keep well!
Doug
