Space Music on Youtube

[John Rogers]

I generally have music playing all night to help me fall asleep and then stay sleeping till next morning since my radiation treatment for lymph cancer on the right side of my head. Several years ago I saw a video for future music or space music or lofi Japanese music and I have noted the graphics and backgrounds have gotten really beautiful now. The planets or clouds or buildings have some really detailed and nearly life like displays.

So far I have gotten around 500 or so videos and combine them into a movie 3 to 4 hours long and save then to a 4TB hard disk run through a Roku box. That's after a Pinoy movie or two so we both fall asleep easily. I think the artists doing this have a large amount skill and I am glad they do this.

All my best wishes for your complete and permanent recovery.
(I know this isn't the space music you were seeking; I just threw these in as a bit of levity...)

OK - here's that post I promised.

When I saw the thread title - I immediately thought of Spirit's "Twelve Dreams of Dr. Sardonicus" from 1970.

Why, you ask?

Because it was a theme album. Side One being traditional "Rock"....and Side Two was considered "Space" themed music.

Remember....back then there was a LOT of creative thinking.

Without further ado......I give you Side Two of Twelve Dreams of Dr. Sardonicus.......

Well how about that, I'll grab a copy of that tomorrow morning I believe! The graphics and artwork from 2018 (start of radiation) until today has been so much better than it was. Some of the images are so realistic you'd think they were real.

The Libtayo I am getting every 3 weeks pretty much keeps anything from affecting my body but then again my left hand is starting to shake (genetics from my mom) and I find I have to be careful to not forget things as that is slightly down hill. My oncologist said if I am ok with the idea she wants me to take it for the rest of my life so as long as Medicare/Tricare For Life pays for it I said sure. Worse part is I am a very hard stick and at times I get poked 3 or 4 times!

Space music, not to be confused with new age, has long been a musical theme in my little edge of the world. Vangelis is probably one of the more recognized practitioners of the genre. Particularly inspiring was his L'Apocalypse des Animaux, and Heaven and Hell, much of which inspired Carl Sagan to create Cosmos.

There's a brief bridge - more of an interlude - in Close to the Edge (1972) by Yes that is among the earliest non-classical music "space music" bits that has that "being in space" texture. The 1967 Moody Blues Days of Future Passed kind of dabbles in a track or two, as does To Our Children's Children's Children (1969).

I've been casually investigating this musical theory for a while, but haven't found the moment where non-classical space music originates - it has to have a start. I know there is a seeming bifurcation after the post-war development of musique concrète that leads to the development of the synthesizer to reproduce or mimic sounds. Several people adopted that tool to reproduce classical pieces, but just who was the first to develop that sense of space travel in a non-classical manner (that's what church music was doing for a few hundred years) I haven't found.

In the very early 1980s Hearts of Space gathered a great many of these early creators and played them on their weekly program. (Space 40 was particularly good.)

Here's a nice early album by K. Leimer (1981): https://youtu.be/weAXPHv8GSM?si=h1gUCRwscXqAONjr

One of the more intriguing compositions is by Stomu Yamash'ta: Sea and Sky (1984,) which combines synthetic and orchestra compositions.

Hope you find comfort and healing.

Not really what you’re looking for, but someone added beethoven’s seventh to footage from the Parker solar probe.

This was my first by Isao Tomita :Snowflakes are Dancing"



Then there's Tonto's Expanding Headband



Some background on TONTO

BTW T.O.N.T.O. = The Original New Timbral Orchestra. I initially thought it referred to Tonto experimentating with psychedelic drugs.
