Schilcote Posted March 7, 2012 Share Posted March 7, 2012 I'm writing some incedental music for a writing project I've been working on for a while, and I need some more music that would be appropriate for travelling in space. This project's soundtrack is going to be composed mostly of remixes, and I've already remixed the Hyperspace theme from Star Control 2, so I need suggestions for tunes to remix. I'm better at remixing from a MIDI, so if there's one available a link to it would also be nice. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rayza Posted March 7, 2012 Share Posted March 7, 2012 I wrote this a while ago, made me think of something spacey. Included space art as the video too.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PROTO·DOME Posted March 7, 2012 Share Posted March 7, 2012 It may seem stupid at first, but most of the Kirby soundtrack could easily be made 'spacey'; lots of reverb and fast acending chip arps should do the trick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
noTuX Posted March 7, 2012 Share Posted March 7, 2012 Space Lion (Cowboy Beebop Version) http://youtu.be/WKnVaDwUg5s IMO, the first few minutes of the song kinda illustrates the vastness and emptiness of space, like you're just drifting aimlessly.

The Damned Posted March 7, 2012 Share Posted March 7, 2012 That was the point, seeing how the song was used in the part where they're in space. Mind you, that's like two thirds of the series, but still... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was just saying that for people that never had the chance to watch it (for some ungodly reason). ...shaddup. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Otakatt Posted March 7, 2012 Share Posted March 7, 2012 A lot of the Star Ocean 2 music makes me think of space and space travel, but all considered I think that's appropriate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GravitySuitCollector Posted March 7, 2012 Share Posted March 7, 2012 Would you mind a flash game suggestion? I got the Tower of Heaven soundtrack from the game music bundle, and there are a few on it that might be good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EC2151 Posted March 10, 2012 Share Posted March 10, 2012 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v1PoNnW4Gjk I'd never thought I'd ever see anyone around the internet who has heard of, let alone likes Gyorgy Ligeti. One of my favorite modern composers. As for something more gamey, you can check out these two tracks from RayStorm: Luminescence Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djpretzel Posted March 10, 2012 Share Posted March 10, 2012 http://ocremix.org/remix/OCR01383/ Love what Akumajo did on this one; very space-travelly in a romanticized, 1970's sort of way, totally dig it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BardicKnowledge Posted March 11, 2012 Share Posted March 11, 2012 Major tritone progressions make me think of space, and I'm not alone, according to Scott Murphy: Murphy, Scott. 2006. “The Major Tritone Progression in Recent Hollywood Science Fiction Films.” Music Theory Online 12/2.

That's helpful, but what exactly is a major tritone progression and how do I create one? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BardicKnowledge Posted March 13, 2012 Share Posted March 13, 2012 It refers to two major chords (scale degrees 1, 3, and 5 of a standard major scale) a tritone apart. Example: C Major followed by F# Major. Full article by Murphy: http://www.mtosmt.org/issues/mto.06.12.2/mto.06.12.2.murphy.html Edit: Even if the theory is beyond you, the examples Murphy cites all have that progression in common, and should be a good starting point for "space" as a musical topic.
