Guitar-free electronic uptempo chillout track at 180 BPM and 90 BPM. No guitar but there is some of my banjo playing starting around 00:45. The banjo starting around 1:25 is synth/sample based and played in on the keyboard.
Quite a small palette of instruments on this track for me but I make them all work quite hard through lots of close control of effects and automation.
Acoustic, intricately programmed drums throughout though there are also a couple of hip hop drum loops in a couple of sections.
There's also some birdsong, sampled from my garden, starting around 5:30 and Fender Rhodes and other assorted synth sounds at various points.
This track will be on my forthcoming mostly guitar-free electronic album. It's quite a gentle, beautiful but sad piece of music and certainly no club classic. I'm pretty happy with it overall but, as always, feel free to point any problems or possible improvements.

Thanks, Eric. I like to think all of my tracks are well thought out and balanced in the mix but then I am a bit biased. Check out some others on this page (I have others) as you'll probably find they are similar. Also, how did you come across this track - just by looking randomly through the 'electronic' genre section, maybe?

Very well thought out composition and the mix is extremely well balanced.
Congratulations,

Yes, I do like the title. It's a title I could use for almost all my music as it just makes me think of heading out into space. I came up with this title a while ago and wasn't sure which of my many tracks I'd apply it to. I hope this track is good enough to merit such a cool title.

Thanks Jim. I guess that sort of flow is what I was aiming for. I first thought it was going to be sort of a banging dance track but it's not really, perhaps because of the acoustic drums and the tempo changes plus a few other slightly unconventional things. It's actually a flat tempo of 90 BPM but I double it to get to 180, though perhaps it seems like there are more inbetween tempos.
9 mins is actually quite a short track for me as I have some that are 17-19 minutes. Check the other tracks on this Mixposure page to hear some going up to 14 minutes.

Or at least just those with an appreciation of far-out sounds and lengthy epic pieces of progressive music.
On my planet, these compositions are of such fundamental value, they have been encoded in our biological makeup as they give us strength, wisdom and guidance as well as being some damn fine rocking grooves to trip out to.
