Astral fare (original music) by mik300z

michaeldaniels.bandcamp.com
Started this A few months ago with just the opening chords from the juno 6, lucky I kept theaudio and video of those, built the rest of the track around them and been working on it on and off since. I can now put it to bed! Cheers for listening:)

[@rg2027x]

Great! Brings to mind the good ol' Renaissance days of electronic music! That takes you somewhere..

[@rg2027x]

@mik300z You're very welcome! Thank you for creating this masterpiece that just flows. It's a delight for the ears. Yes I love those days of music where listener was taken on a journey - through space and sound! And unexpected surprises. Keep on creating the great sounds!

[@voltagecontrolledreality51]

Your Vangelis covers are excellent but it's nice to hear your own work. Well done.

[@user-bs9hc6ip1y]

I feel the smell of 'tangerine dream'. And judging by the melody, with shmelling👌

[@jauqq]

The best 9 mins 46 seconds i've spent in ages!! Love the different passages throughout. phenomenal track !!!

[@molowytch]

not need more video, your music already makes us think! beautiful trail!

[@irena7777777]

This is very John Carpenter esque, which is perfectly acceptable in my book! What a tune

[@orlandopaesfilho4920]

Very beautiful. A real new synth great Composer.

[@MarcS4R]

its sound amazing...like an old Tangerine Dream soundtrack of a cool 80s movie.

[@m74g81]

Spices: Tangerine Dream, Vangelis, Jean-Michel Jarre! Clever! Congratulations!

[@Heidebubi]

Sound of Berlin School on a modern state. Great!

[@wizardofozbe]

Little piece of electronical heaven, this one. Really Mick, I mean, WOAAW..! Respect my dear friend, what a composition. This is a jewel.. Keep amazing the hell out of me, very well done. Grtz, Dave

[@sasarasa88]

I hear Tangerine Dream here, in the good sense. +1 for the guy asking you to put together a tutorial on how to build a track like this. Impressive stuff. Keep them coming

[@damihai]

it sounds great, excellent composition, you never stop to amaze me.

[@horsepower5698]

This is uber awesome! If i was a director, i would hire you for all my movie soundtracks.

[@mik300z]

Horsepower thanks:-)!

[@ziggy1a1]

brilliant, that just took me off in a tangent and I was lost to the world for 9:46.

[@Booger6995]

WOW. Nice Mick. I just wasn't expecting that much of a change. Really got some punch to it.

[@TheInnocentSynth]

Beautiful, deep track Mick - love it......need it on CD asap!

[@florsay]

Impresionante tema. Enhorabuena. Suena muy bien. Very good, awesome music.

[@Booger6995]

Just listened on the headphones at home. Mick you have done a really good one here. Super intense yet subtle. That make any sense? LOVE IT!!! L8R

[@keithgray2070]

This is truly great work mik300z ,love the tangerine elements keep it up ,fabulous !

[@lordzavulon666]

Whoa...This track is a mix-influence of JOHN CARPENTER & Alan Howarth with Tangerine Dream. Awesomeness to the EARS. )D

[@radomianin]

Great piece of music! It's been one of my favorites for years.

[@rick49fly]

Mike, every time I listen to your compositions, I wonder how you can manage to capture the spirit of electronic music legends so well. This tune could have been mistaken for an unreleased track from TD's "The Keep" with a little bit of "Force Majeure". I wish I could do the same ... Maybe one day ! Musically yours, Richard

[@Atolis2008]

Its like a mixture of Vangelis and Tangerine Dream, I would say. Phantastic track. :) :) :)

[@mik300z]

@grooveproject Thankyou, really glad you liked it:)

[@Claudio_Cunha]

Great work, as always! Congratulations Mik.

[@alexsanto]

congratulations for your creativity. It's a great music.

[@annengmail32]

That one, as well as one or two others when working. Makes it feel better.

[@ortml99]

Hello Mick; Thanks for sending me this composition. I found it very interesting. I wonder if you ever score the music for a compostion like this. I would find it exteremely challenging if not impossible. Enjoyed the astral odessey portrayed by the music. Kudos!

[@DATDJ007]

absolutely awesome!!! GREAT work mik!!!!!!!!!

[@gjc82071]

Dude, this track is amazing. I love this kind of music. It sounds....1980's....like a movie soundtrack. I LOVE it. I wish i can make music like this. I try,...but I just can't seem to get it right. I can make other kinds of music, like classical, jazz, hip-hop, techno, pop, rock, reggae, Afro-pop, etc, but this particular style has proven to be more elusive to me, than I ever expected. You know,...in a way, this style of music,...at times it almost reminds me of a sort of,..modern "fugue":

[@lundsweden]

I agree that music with a lot of space is hard to pull off. I have tried too, unsuccessfully so far. Mick is good at playing just enough and not too much. One of the masters of music with loads of space I think was Miles Davis. He was an absolute genius with this kind of thing, his "Kind of Blue" album, released way back in 1959 is still worth a listen. Of course he was playing (modal) Jazz, but so what? Miles still can teach Jazz or non Jazz musos lessons in 2021, I believe!

[@manollante]

Hey, I follow your work along time ago, you have good taste selecting sounds and mix them later, you also have a good harmony sense, good job as usual, it was a pleasure to hear/watch your music. (...sorry for my english I know that is not good enough...hehe, I'm spanish...).

[@psbmastering]

Yeah, definitely Tangerine Dream spirit. Especially the drum track. Other instruments flactuate between TD and Vangelis. Totally awesome track! Superb compositional concept. Gotta love those AN1x arps...thanks for sharing.

[@ChemicalComedown]

@mik300z I'm just really glad you uploaded it ; )

[@IntoMusicLund]

Obsolutely love it. Hope you are doing fine and all is well, my friend.

[@PhilAndersonOutside]

@rg2027x Thanks, yes, I guess that was the very best time in electronic, when you wouldn't know what sound you would hear next! Very difficult to sound different in todays digital world though:)

[@LordCritish]

You're welcome! :) I bought your album some years back and recently came back to watching your videos again. Always a pleasure to listen to this whole album! I was wondering... do you remember what sounds are from the Juno G? I'm pondering to buy a Juno G.

[@zerokomma]

Superb

[@mik300z]

@hdprice Cheers, would love to have the time and equipment to do that, it does take time and sometimes the hard work pays off, maybe this will!

[@suitandtieguy]

you make great music.

[@byte19]

hey did you move the studio? I like it! this just inspires me... so awesome... I love the various movements you put together... a real treat!!

[@ChemicalComedown]

WOW This is amazing 5***** !!! : )

[@mik300z]

@Booger6995 you also missed I have 2 esq's in the kitchen....not mine either! same guy who owns the nord and moog. Theres also a jp8080 and a sinclair computer of some sort on the kitchen table (not in view) Hope you're watching Conrad!

[@mik300z]

@lazymandoplayer thankyou, will try and get an upload link soon, stay tuned:)

[@magma10011]

awssome !

[@TheTimijK]

i like your music taste!

[@ProbTron]

Very nice Tangerine :) Up there with the best! 5 ******

[@javiceres]

Nice!!!

[@EffortlessAttempt]

They should hire you to do the supposed "Halloween" remake. You seem to have been inspired so much by John and Alan that I can see you doing no wrong to any Carpenter film, music-wise.

[@jonbrunomusic]

very nice. reminds me of the firestarter ost. nice tones :)

[@mik300z]

@Luckexe Much appreciated encouragement..thankyou:)

[@trouserclips]

Nice to see you are back , you got the computer sound sorted? still using the Juno. will miss the loft, lol

[@trouserclips]

Nice to see you are back , you got the computer sound sorted? still using the Juno.

[@mik300z]

@mattsynth Hi Matt, good thanks..and you? will keep in touch on those sample libraries..thanks again and always great to hear from you:) Nord and moog plus some other gear in that pic belong to a friend, from a session we had in feb, he left me the moog for a little while , cool eh? once warmed up and in tune she's a beast..listen at 7.45:):)

[@mik300z]

@TheInnocentSynth cheers! working on an mp3 link:)

[@mattsynth]

Hi Mik, how are you? I see you still have your friends Moog and maybe a new Nord in the background. The studio is looking good and that track was wonderful. I will be trying out some new East West sample libraries on a track soon so keep in touch.

[@mik300z]

@damihai thankyou my friend!

[@trouserclips]

Nice to see you are back , you got the computer sound sorted?

[@mik300z]

@retrosound72 thankyou Marko , I hope it is "analogue work" for you my good friend!

[@Booger6995]

@mik300z I thought there were some new sounds in there that I didn't recognize from your usual fare. I take it that top KB in the 3 to left of PC are ESQ JUNO and ESQ then. That Nord caught me by surprise. By the way that drop back into the 80's @ approx 6:30 was just so cool. Sounded like a cross of Dolby, Thompson Twins and Howard Jones with a small splattering of Gino Vanelli's bro Joe. And please tell me where that mean bass is coming from @ 7:45. Is that a Juno by chance?

[@MyRYLO]

IVE BEEN WATCHING YOUR VIDEO'S AND CAN SAY THEY ARE SIMPLY BRILLIANT.I LOVE VANGELIS'S MUSIC AND YOU HAVE THE SOUND DEAD ON TO MY EARS.I WISH I HAD YOUR HARDWARE BUT MONEY SAYS NO HAHA.I DABBLE USING SOFTWARE.HAVE YOU TRYED THE MEMORYMOON ME80.IT SOUNDS LIKE THE CS80........NOT EXACT BUT CLOSE.KEEP UP THE EXALENT WORK.
