DIESER Instrumental Titel geht mir tief in meine Seele. Er erzeugt bei mir das gleiche unbeschreibliche Gefühl wie bei der ersten Mondlandung 1969.

einfach nur Geil

[@wolfgangsteidl8480]

In Zusammhang mit dem Bild einer Galaxie beschreibt die Musik ein Gefühl von tiefem Staunen und tiefer Ergrifenheit... in welcher Welt wir uns befinden. Das Bild und die Musik vernag uns ein Eindruck zu vermitteln wie wir eigentlich nur Zuschauer dieser Geheimniss vollen Welt sind. Nicht mal so groß wie ein Sandkorn. Was die Artenvielfalt in den Meeren und in der Natur ist, ja das ist ebenso im Weltraum einfach kolosal.

[@198khz2]

@@jimduffy1967 Would love to hear that if it gets recorded, or even better videoed! Isn't the range an octave +1? Main theme just requires an octave, so maybe another instrument(s) to cover the 'middle eight', as that requires +2.
