Zero velocity surfaces

Description

I've been making background music for some scientific videos. This piece of music is for something astromechanical. I think it's a satellite in a trajectory around the earth and the moon.

The bass is my Godin fretless, the guitars are loops and the synth is Zebra2 through Filterscape.

	You never cease to surprise Vic. That bass sounds wonderful against the lovely synths. Much too short though. Cheers Len Check out my latest song called Dodgy Doughnut

In my Hubble Opinion
This is really quite pretty and catchy... the synths are on the edge of being edgy (possibly because of the shimmery vibrato in headphones, not sure), but it quickly doesn't matter, because the cool bass-line is distractingly nice... I like this, and it feels like the perfect lead-in to something a lot bigger.
ttfn,
Drakonis

	Cool track Vic Kind of unusual using a bass as a lead instrument, but it worked really well. Short and sweet my friend, but it works. Nice track for sure. Ed Check out my latest song called Just a little Something

a little short, but
on the first go, the staccato keying at the intro was a little disappointing to me in melding with the soft bed, but half way through it was all good, then. After the fifth play, I don't know why I felt that way, now.

Maybe give that a rest or leave it out at the intro and build in to it?

What a slick slurry of sound here, though - good 'space stuff'. Bass is perfect.

	astronomical Here in Germany, they have a show on late night called Space Night, where the show images from satellites and things from the telescopes. Anyway, I think this would be a perfect fit for something like that. Great job. Dave Check out my latest song called Googolplex Times Zero

	Sounds cool The synths are great - nice sounds, adding a lovely ethereal wash, and the bass is very effective - great playing and lovely sound. Very effective. Nicely done. Peace. Check out my latest song called Across the Wire (MJRF)

	Spacey, but not Kevin Very nice piece, I wish it would have been longer. I really like the sound of the Godin bass and you play it very well. Great ambience. Check out my latest song called Darkness of the Night

	hmmm.... bass solo. I like it! a frettless provides just the right ambience to the tune. It could definietly be longer, but it's stilll pretty cool. It fits the satellite in orbit theme pretty well too. Check out my latest song called Post Nasal Drip

	Lovely track Puts me in mind of the mash-ups of 'ambient' and 'country' on Eno's "Apollo" soundtrack. It sounds like you enjoyed making this. Cheers Check out my latest song called LIOLI 9 (Interlude)
