Outer Space Banjo Ambience | Chill, Relax, Study, Meditation

[@nilsubsolenovum]

Forgive me for being sentimental, but your music has been a great source of comfort to me over the last month as I've been in and out of hospital. I was even allowed to listen to your Mining Town and Terraform EPs through the headphones provided whilst having my MRIs done. It's helped me block out the sounds of the ward so that I can sleep during my overnight stays. So, thank you for your art. Your soul shines through it all. Keep going because you'll always have me as a supporter.

[@SpaceBanjoMusic]

I'm sorry to hear you've been in and out of the hospital. That's tough. - Even while having the MRI's done? 🙏 I greatly appreciate your ongoing support and hope the hospital visits are coming to an end. Stay strong

[@Detourist]

Never ask for forgiveness for being sentimental. It is the most human you can be, and there is nothing wrong with that! I love this music too, and I am glad it is helping someone as good as you! I am praying you get well!

[@microcosms2420]

Something about it makes you feel okay to be lost. Almost as if you're at home, yet floating In a beautiful dreamscape. I know what you've been going through must be hard, so I'm thankful that you have something to brighten your day and helps you appreciate the profound beauty of the life you live despite it all.

[@ryanphillips5393]

I have not been in the hospital, (hope you are feeling better now), but this music has soothed me through some very difficult times over the past year. Thank you.

Im currently sitting on top of what will be the last load of coal to leave Amador county California. Mine closed last year. This music will now forever be linked to this somber moment. Thank you from the bottom of my heart and the top of the last train to leave.

[@SpaceBanjoMusic]

Thank you for sharing this. The banjo has been closely tied to America's coal industry for a long time. One of my favorite banjo pickers was a coal miner in Kentucky, Dock Boggs. In one of his recordings, he said he used to play his banjo for the crew while on break from the mines. I wish the best for you and I'm thankful my banjo pickin could take part in your experience on top of the last train.

[@drowningpooralice5505]

@SpaceBanjoMusic crazy you mentioned Boggs. Oh, death is also on my Playlist.

[@christopherkelly4555]

I'm from the SC Blue Ridge mountain area (thanks dad). I'm also a huge sci fi fan (thanks mom). Your music perfectly merges these two worlds. I'm cooking a chili right now on this rainy Saturday afternoon and your tunes are carrying me away to somewhere warm and friendly. Thank you, friend. I would just love to see this live, or with live instruments someday.

[@akhterhassan6670]

Space banjo is an interesting genre. This music has the ability to strip away all the unimportant stuff on a mind; it gets you back to the basics.

[@kyramerchen4485]

I am so completely obsessed with this vibe. I've had your stuff on replay for the past two days on Spotify. I don't know what the question was but this is the Correct Answer

[@SpaceBanjoMusic]

Ha thank you, glad you're enjoying

Don't be so sure! The Everlasting Father has packed quite a bit of detail on this here green rock. Don't forget we are still exploring the microscopic world in the 21st Century! If space is relative, than there is a whole biological galaxy in my backyard. 😄

[@courtneywoolum9073]

My husband stumbled upon this while writing, and I immediately gravitated towards it. I've tried dozens of sounds, frequencies, beats, instruments, etc to help me focus. There is something about your music that has not only helped me dial in, but listening to it during a nap gave me the best sleep. Thank you.

[@SpaceBanjoMusic]

Happy to hear that :) thanks for sharing

[@biblewaybaptistauburnma7140]

I hit the play-all button while doing my studies. It also helps that I recently started playing the Banjo. The use of the slides is impeccable throughout these.

[@bryanh666]

It's a mighty fine day when you drop more music for us! ✌️

[@eragonawesome]

Space banjo is my new favorite genre

[@MasterThief009]

Man, the landscapes in this vid remind me of Bill Watterson's "Spaceman Spiff" comics in Calvin and Hobbes. The weird colors, the textures, even the shadows all feel so similar. Thanks for all of the great music Zeal, it's hard for me to find ambient stuff like this.

I had no idea I enjoyed the banjo so much until I discovered your channel yesterday. :) Really soothing and grounding.

Just recently found your channel. It was love at first listen. Never appreciated the banjo much, but you make it something otherworldly. Thanks.

[@abercrombierye3483]

It is said in the Starry nights of Heifium, Planet of a thousand ranches, if you listen carefully past the lowing of Spongehorns, and the soft whisps of the ember flies, You can hear the Father the Cosmos, strumming on the strings of The Milky Way, delighting in and giving delight to His creation. But here in the ole Milky Way, we aught to be the most delighted, for He gave us humans, among other gifts, the mighty humble banjo and said:"My Sons and My Daughters, My Children whom I call Precious and Beloved... Jam with me." Keep 'em comin' Greg! :D

[@SpaceBanjoMusic]

👏Thank you for this comment and supporting my music!

[@Frei_Raum]

I love the atmosphere in your music. Thanks for sharing it with us.

[@bradrtorgersen_videos]

(sips from CW4 mug) I'm a mil vet, and I've also published some award-winning science fiction. These videos are a delightful blend of old frontier sound, shaped for new frontier exploration. My stories in Analog magazine tend to focus on working-class and mil vet people who're doing the "dirty work" of space exploration. Your Space Banjo music fits the mood perfectly. Like a blending of the movie SILVERADO with STAR TREK.

[@SpaceBanjoMusic]

I greatly appreciate your words and encouragement. The "dirty work" of space exploration is an interesting concept. Somehow I think that adds an extra element to the music. p.s. - A big thank you for your service🙏Much respect.

[@freddee3402]

Thanks!

[@SpaceBanjoMusic]

Thank you!

[@K-R772]

thank you for continuing to share such incredible music with us. I usually use your playlists as ambient sound for the backtrack of a d&d campaign and my players adore it! The campaign is a sort of space western that takes place atop a lonely island floating through the astral sea...these songs always perfectly capture what I'm going for. It is such a delight to have.

[@SpaceBanjoMusic]

Glad you're enjoying them.

[@celticbrzrkr]

[@petersonl1008]

Excellent.

[@lofivibes3640]

I can honestly see this happening in the future. A farmer/rancher attending to his stock. Keeping up with tradition. Using future tech to make the job easier. Regardless of how advance technology has become. It will never maximize profits doing the job by hand. Equipment breaking down from harsh weather conditions. The job itself is brutal. As the rancher looks on over the horizon. A storm is coming. While it may not be planet Earth. Planet 2024 has similarities. There are 2 suns. The days last 48 hours instead of 24. The 🌪 are much larger. The bugs are the size of kids. Martha calls out to John. Gather whatever you collected. Ya all are heading to the storm shelter. Just another day on the farm.

Soothing.

[@gunsgalore7571]

I mean, this kind of stuff does make one wonder. In space colonization, it is inevitable that certain planets/moons/regions will be settled by specific countries, just like the New World was colonized by specific empires, and that wound up having major impacts on the cultures of those areas. (Latin America being colonized by the Spanish, with North America being colonized by the English with pockets of French colonization.) But is it possible that people of given cultures and regions will tend to colonize the same areas? That would be pretty cool, and it could wind up with an Appalachian-descent region of Mars or the Moon or something where Space Banjo could become a real thing. It might sound crazy at first thought, but the people of the Appalachians have basically already done that during Westward Expansion, they went to the Ozarks and made that a very Appalachian-esque region hundreds of miles away from actual Appalachia.

[@shellyroth5304]

Not possible...sadly..space is a lie.

This feels very lonely. I can almost imagine a solitary explorer taking a respite on a distant planet, enjoying the haunting and overwhelming loneliness of traveling distant planet that have a high chance of humanity never touching again

Something about a lone banjo playing it's heart out into a vast and empty world that just speaks to the soul. Quality work. What do I look up for this on Spotify?

Great atmosphere! I am getting into playing banjo, learned some basic bluegrass tunes. I was wondering what tuning you use and if you have any tips on emulating your playing style. Any suggestions, even as little as what chords to burn into muscle memory or how to achieve this sound, are appreciated. (:

[@BigSaur]

Love this music.... What's the image from? Also love that!

What type of banjo is that? Preferred? Solid body? 6?

It is a 1972 Gibson Mastertone 5-string resonator banjo. I have a KZbin Shorts video of me playing it on my channel if you want to see it. p.s. - Thank you again for the support!

I feel you're putting yourself in a corner by changing your name to space banjo, keep the old name for whatever comes next for this channel beyond reverbed banjo.

[@SpaceBanjoMusic]

I think you're right.

[@rosswilliams9668]

I'm in two minds about it - yes, don't pigeonhole yourself into reiterating only one, very specific, type of art. But it's also an incredibly simple and powerful name - Space Banjo. It's genius. Easy to remember, easy to share, easy to Google. It fits the artwork (also amazing, by the way) so well, and both do a great job of setting the mood and immersing the listeners (just look at all the commenters talking about interstellar exploration and space truckin' and shit). Just look at Lofi Girl - everyone ended up loving it so much, even the owners abandoned the original name. As long as you're releasing atmospheric-style music, I think people will keep coming even if it strictly isn't reverb banjo. Space Banjo... man, I'll probably still remember that on my deathbed.
