Carnival of Space-The Musical!

On 9/27/07 the traveling "Carnival of Space" will be pitching tent at

www.wanderingspace.net. I've made 3 pieces especially for the

carnival. The first two have been combined with a little expositionary

dialogue to make a radio drama we'll call "Carnival of Space-The

Intro." Play it in the embedded player below, why don't cha?

If I get around to it or if I have any requests I'll be putting up the

two musical parts separately for folks to also use as they please in

podcasts, film, blogs, etc. I also made a funky lil' space jam we'll

call "Carnival of Space-Funky Fresh" because that's what it is. Dig it

in that funky embedded player below.

To some folks "Space music" is a sort of sub-genre of ambient music

(for more see Wikipedia "Space Music)." I'm not sure how many

sub-genres should be made of ambient music, which is fairly

minimalistic with not a lot happening, but I do like some of this

stuff. And it is fun to make. Back when I was first discovering the

joys of listening to podcasts and when I used to operate a machine on

a factory floor I discovered and enjoyed a particular space music

podcast made by a groovy dude in the Netherlands. Here's a link to his

latest website :http://spacemusic.nl/Podcast.html

Some people like to have this type of thing just playing in the

background as they relax, meditate, enter data in spread sheets, make

sweet sweet space love, or launch into actual outer space. Of course

space music also serves a purpose in space films, whether they be

fictional of non-fiction.

I've made a bunch of music I think people could describe as space

music. Below are a few examples. You may need to "allow pop-ups" to

play these songs, and you might want to open the player in another

window or tab. As always these songs are available for free through

Soundclick.

1. Science Nature Space 23

2. Space Music Boot Strap 2nd Draft

3. Gonna Be Swell

4. Hillbillyspace

5. Openended

6. Space Age Theme

7. Undertow

Oh yeah, if you want to hear some more music you can go to my website

PodcastTroubadour.com where I've got most of my recent and not so

recent stuff. A wide range of music that could be described as Funky,

Quirky, Ambient, Pretty, Silly, Soundtrack, Instrumental, and stuff

I've made for specific purposes like podcasters. You'll see below I've

recently been having some luck and fun making songs for the Tom Green

Show, but if you go back to the older posts you'll see I've made music
