Becky and I just listened to this one. When it was over she said " that was it ? I wanted more ! " Great sounds and a cool video. 🎹🛸🚀

As they say, you have to leave people wanting more! I could’ve gone on and on, but you know I don’t wanna put people to sleep either.

Wonderful music. It definitely has a sound suited to space video. Very ambient, meditative feel. Sounds great :)

Glad you like it! Thanks Marty!

Beautiful sounds and textures Kyle! A great tribute to a lovely sounding synth. I like that idea of paying tribute to a particular instrument. I may have to "borrow" it from you. Lol! Anyway, this was a cool kickoff to the weekend. And I love your willingness to explore different forms. Happy Friday!!

Thank you Rick! I always love it when things happen quickly as this one did. Two tracks of keyboard- all recorded and mixed in less than an hour. The XP30 is my least expensive ($400 used) investment. Incredible bang for the buck. I actually used it on a few gigs and it covered most bases pretty well, back in the day. Thanks again for supporting what I do! Hope to be hearing something new from you soon😊

I think you captured the "Hearts of Space" vibe. The local public radio station in San Francisco used to feature HOS in late evenings and I got exposed to so many "new age" and ambient composers through them. Roland XP series produced quality sounds and still sounds good to me. I had a little XP10 in the '90's and it had great sounds but lacked modern features - arp, seq, effects. XP30 was what I wanted, but times were lean back then. Excellent space music, enjoyed it very much.

@@Sam_Utah thanks Sam!! Really appreciate your kind comments. I remember very lean times as well.

[@KyleWhitlock-Music]

@@Sam_Utah I never get tired of the old Roland sounds. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve almost sold the XP30, but decided to keep it instead.
