Description:
it is in the darkest valley of space. it may seem as if it is empty here. however, there is even music and joy in space. this music is hoped to bring a smile, even to the darkest valleys in space.

it is a hand made variation of a beautiful music by smokeyvw, called a bell in the valley. many talented musicians have created a variation. this is another offering. thank you smokeyvw for allowing such an experiment.

cosmic bells
It is quite cool how you added such cosmic depth to A Bell in the Valley. I love the swirly spacey feel, the voices and the piano melody. Coincidentally, I just got done watching Wall.E and this was the perfect song to follow it up with. They both are high tech synth with human warmth. Very creative collab!

from the depths of bells
it was a great honour to work with this music. and it is always a pleasure to have roxylee listen to this space. wall*e is a favourite movie here too. it is a comparison that brings warmth to the heart. thank you. 0x0

Excellent
Excellent!

0:18 I would have left out the last note of the phrase on the second repeat -- the next time through seems OK to me though (go figure)

2:15 i love the arpeggio

2:40 i love the vamp on the theme

3:40 nice alternation

3:50 the recap works!

thanks

lost in space
it is a great criticism, and agreed that to leave the last note missing would cause great anticipation for the next phrase. it is an important idea. perhaps next time it is best to ask you to review a music before it is published. you have a very good ear for such. it is a great joy to know the other areas of the music are 'excellent' for you. it is your bell, and it is excellent material. thank you for allowing me to take it to the stars.

no tubular bells were used, so perhaps this is why it sounds spheric. your prevalent presence is enjoyed, feter. thank you for listening to all the music. 0x0

it is
whooshing and glissandoing through valleys of spatial immensity but not space, the new frontier. No cowboys here. Just cowbells, well, bells, anyway. There is no sound in space, or so I understand. ic42, you did well.
Very, very nice! :)

no sound in space
it is all in your mind. however, since you attended to the music, i do not mind. perhaps the next music will have more cowbells and cowboys. shall they be in kilts? thank you for a listen and a warm comment. 0x0

kilts on cows?
it is a "moo" point, but titillating, at any rate. i c more music is your future space. and, I agree with RC,... you are quite amazing. :)

Happy space.
Deep sounds behind a pensive, lilting melody. Appropriate to a benign perspective of deep space, where, contrary to popular opinion, there are sounds, although the human ear could never register them. The natural sounds of space are not as beautiful as the sounds you have brought us here, however. Well done.

a pleasure
it was a pleasure to work with a beautiful melody of smokeyvw. perhaps the sound of cosmic radiation and solar flare is beauty to the creatures that listen to it. perhaps those creatures do not understand a beautiful sound of death metal? 0x0

enjoyment of bells
a collaboration is exciting. it was generous for smokeyvw to share a wonderful music. this version is synthesized in space. it is perhaps good for you like synthesizers as well. thank you for enjoying a new direction of this music. 0x0
