Description
Third of three pieces composed for the 2011 Space Race Challenge, this has a Grand Piano and 3 synth tracks; no loops.
The piece opens with an arpeggiated piano track backed by a Hybrid synth with Manori Stab preset. Both tracks have a light addition of effects (mainly delay) and play throughout. The melody is played by a Space Harpsichord on two tracks, one more heavily effected: first rising chord notes, then chords, then a repeat of the first (in the other ear) with a backing of held, every-other notes, one octave down. I mention this latter bumpf as an indication of the progress of this late-start musician. It IS pretty simple but it IS all me and was composed (for the most part) over a couple of hours one evening and mixed and fiddled with for a couple more the next morning. I think it is 7/8 time and, while I played it in C (again, easy chords) it has been transposed to Bb as I like the way it sounds here. There is, to me, a distinct feeling of optimism and hope (which explains the title) and that's something we all could use a little more of.
The artwork, which depicts the inside of a space colony, should really be seen at a larger size to appreciate it, and to read, in tiny letters: CG Society.org Copyright 2006 Alexander Preuss.

A very fluffy and comfortable soundscape. Enjoyed! The creation process was a nice read too.
