whew idk, this might be the toughest one for me yet (not that its bad). i know its admirable but im not humble and im okay with that, even looking at this, i still feel like im important and matter. it is what it is

thanks for hosting and picking this though and R.I.P to Olymoon, even though i didnt know him

That is the good challenge!
This image will be the easiest thing for some people to compose / score to & for others the most difficult.
@Grape Ape...try it...after all it is just a dot....It won't bite you!

That is fine brother Gaia loves you too!

You're welcome, & thanks for the kind words about Olymoon!

 

Are you quite sure?

so for this one i wanted to create a delicate and comforting feeling. life is so fragile, seeing a mini earth made me think of that and how delicate it looks. it might not look like much from this angle but its home and i feel like im exactly where im suppose to be. thats always something that made me feel comfortable no matter where i am in the world or what i go through; that the universe supports me i believe

so it starts with a sample from the Elvis song Blue Moon singing, “blue moon, you knew just what i was there for”, i also reversed the “blue” part and used that subtly for texture. everything else was played, recorded, etc. by me as usual to express those feelings i explained - the colors made me think of like those old school, 1950’s Sadie Hawkins dances they had at schools here in the U.S. so i pictured like a nocturnal celestial slow dance happening, with earth as the only light in the cosmic dancehall. thats how i landed on those genres stylistically, was fun
​

genre: country & dream pop

@Grape Ape .......great track !......you should've have guested on The Saucer Pilots Luxotica album

 

thanks @Aidene for The Saucer Pilot stamp of approval. hopefully i can gets rides on the spaceship now, maybe help me move some large furniture

 

@Grape Ape .. Hey Yo, Bro...Definitely my favorite of your's so far. From the first note to the last I had in my mind's eye the vision of the Pale Blue Dot, and your music instilled in me both a sense of longing for home as well as the hope that someday I shall return.

 

Better link turns into "blink" but your avatar never does...a conundrum!

 

As long as the furniture isn't heavier than the average cow, we can just beam it up.

 

Thanks for the beautiful interlude betwixt here and there. Because of you I now know what I want to be when I grow up...a Starman!!!

 

@Lois Lane thanks homie i appreciate you, will be cool to see what youll pull from this one

 

Did this some time ago, so doesn't officially count but DIG

 

Thanks for the link! I immediately listened to all the songs and am impressed by how you managed to do everything and how you also translated these themes into graphics. I immediately saved it so that your epochal works don't get lost. High praise and respect for your work.

 

Thanks, buttt...I´m sorry to ruin it for you, but you already are a Starman! If any of us would get contacted from some other parallel civilisation and brought as a guest, we would be the most important humans on that planet ;)

 

My song (or songs) concerns an interplanetary affair of the heart!

 

Rewriting... with le fretless - decided to go with beauty rather than a 10 minute easy series of sound bytes, which is what my first incarnation was.

As for the Avatar it's A.I - "Amiably Inconclusive"
