The Stars Run Blindly (MJ Space Race 2011)

Ex_Silentio

Get Flash to see this player.

Description

From wondrous tales of fabulous beings occupying the heavens to a strict mechanistic reductionism, to a unifying simplicity, perhaps no less wondrous, to … the emergent ever after? What might that be?

The stars blindly run … or do they? Can we ever know?

This isn't exactly space music, but at least the title is based on something in space.

Another ditty from the self-indulgent desk of Ex.

Title taken from the poem "In Memoriam," by Alfred, Lord Tennyson.

Thanks to Drakonis for organizing this year's Space Race Challenge.

	It certainly is 'Spacey' it's like the call of the heavens out there in the black void..... quite beautiful in parts and scary in others...... I love the way you mold the sounds, regards M Check out my latest song called He's The Jazzman

	I like the way this one goes... Part breathtakingly beautiful but spiced with the sawtooth formed pain of reality... To say nothing of the song art :-) I need to come back to this gem. Thanks for the download! Take care, Henke Check out my latest song called Spring

	A web is wov'n across the sky But they cry not the murmurs of that dying sun, but the sound of the universal splendour reborn. Check out my latest song called Intersection

	Beautiful All that is good about space ambient music is encompassed here [despite what you say], and it certainly has your stamp. Top notch mix; delightful indeed. Check out my latest song called Nocturne op. 55 Andante

	Ex-quisite This has a documentary sounding feel to it that could be used in science whether here on home or space. Great composition-well done! pg Check out my latest song called Derelict

	night trip i'd say it's definitely space music - it evokes thoughts of vast expanses of interstellar clouds condensing into stars and planets - glowing wonders the explorers travel through the scene, and we are lucky enough to be riding in the back seat staring out the window thanks Check out my latest song called Burnt Sienna

	Incredible This isn't space music?!?!?!? It sounds like what God Himself listened to when he was creating the heavens. Perfect if you ask me. Check out my latest song called A New Day on Arus (mj space race 2011)

	I've always enjoyed the concept of our galaxy existing in a locker on another cosmos' space port. Expansion and birth and infinite wonder. You wrote the opening symphony for the creation of everything. What a brilliant soundtrack for a presentation at Griffith's Observatory this would be! Thanks. Check out my latest song called Alone at Christmas

Musical Poetry - and spacey too
As Yogi Berra might have said, "For being one of the masters of Space Ambient, you sure are good at it". Graceful evolutions, almost a female chorus coming in here and there, suggestions of space but not emptiness. That mid section starting at 2:50 is interesting in its use of a repeating beat - not something I would have expected but very effective against the other rising and falling tones set against it. After some lovely floaty bits around 7:15 you build tension to the big finish in what I think is a very cool way.

Another gem for the old iPhone - many thanks Ex!

	It's spacey, alright You have some great synths in your arsenal (that 'vox humana' section near the beginning is a keeper), and your pacing is perfect. Many moods; many modes. Fine job! Love, MoM Check out my latest song called Olm
