Description it is in the darkest valley of space. it may seem as if it is empty here. however, there is even music and joy in space. this music is hoped to bring a smile, even to the darkest valleys in space.

it is a hand made variation of a beautiful music by smokeyvw, called a bell in the valley. many talented musicians have created a variation. this is another offering. thank you smokeyvw for allowing such an experiment.

smokeyvw
it is beautiful melodies from smokeyvw. i changed them little, then lost them in space and time. it is a joy to know they did not get lost on you. i must visit craft's powerful music now. 0x0

cosmic bells
It is quite cool how you added such cosmic depth to A Bell in the Valley. I love the swirly spacey feel, the voices and the piano melody. Coincidentally, I just got done watching Wall.E and this was the perfect song to follow it up with. They both are high tech synth with human warmth. Very creative collab!

from the depths of bells
it was a great honour to work with this music. and it is always a pleasure to have roxylee listen to this space. wall*e is a favourite movie here too. it is a comparison that brings warmth to the heart. thank you. 0x0

Excellent
Excellent!

0:18 I would have left out the last note of the phrase on the second repeat -- the next time through seems OK to me though (go figure)

2:15 i love the arpeggio

2:40 i love the vamp on the theme

3:40 nice alternation

3:50 the recap works!

thanks



ic42 said 50 days ago
lost in space
it is a great criticism, and agreed that to leave the last note missing would cause great anticipation for the next phrase. it is an important idea. perhaps next time it is best to ask you to review a music before it is published. you have a very good ear for such. it is a great joy to know the other areas of the music are 'excellent' for you. it is your bell, and it is excellent material. thank you for allowing me to take it to the stars.

ic42 said 50 days ago
spacebells
no tubular bells were used, so perhaps this is why it sounds spheric. your prevalent presence is enjoyed, feter. thank you for listening to all the music. 0x0

Char said 51 days ago
it is
whooshing and glissandoing through valleys of spatial immensity but not space, the new frontier. No cowboys here. Just cowbells, well, bells, anyway. There is no sound in space, or so I understand. ic42, you did well.
Very, very nice! :)

ic42 said 50 days ago
no sound in space
it is all in your mind. however, since you attended to the music, i do not mind. perhaps the next music will have more cowbells and cowboys. shall they be in kilts? thank you for a listen and a warm comment. 0x0

Char said 47 days ago
kilts on cows?
it is a "moo" point, but titillating, at any rate. i c more music is your future space. and, I agree with RC,... you are quite amazing. :)

Diviner said 50 days ago
Very nice
Love the sounds and light distant melody. Allows for a most peaceful, relaxing lay down. Very nice ic42, another corker.

ic42 said 50 days ago
anti anxious
there is much anxiety now. it is good that this music takes away some anxiety, and allows a "lay down". please have a good dream with this music. thank you for enjoying. 0x0

..aaahhh
Good music for a meditation and relaxation.

ic42 said 49 days ago
quiet zen
it is good to clear the mind. perhaps outer space is a vast zen rock garden. it is a happy holiday gift to know you enjoy it. thank you. 0x0

Roca_Atomica said 50 days ago
Happy space.
Deep sounds behind a pensive, lilting melody. Appropriate to a benign perspective of deep space, where, contrary to popular opinion, there are sounds, although the human ear could never register them. The natural sounds of space are not as beautiful as the sounds you have brought us here, however. Well done.

ic42 said 47 days ago
a pleasure
it was a pleasure to work with a beautiful melody of smokeyvw. perhaps the sound of cosmic radiation and solar flare is beauty to the creatures that listen to it. perhaps those creatures do not understand a beautiful sound of death metal? 0x0

Nice colab!
Thanks for taking Bill's great original into the slower ambient space! I enjoyed it a lot!

Stay well!

enjoyment of bells
a collaboration is exciting. it was generous for smokeyvw to share a wonderful music. this version is synthesized in space. it is perhaps good for you like synthesizers as well. thank you for enjoying a new direction of this music. 0x0

kassia said 50 days ago
bells and valleys
swirling sounds of light and air surround me, carrying me softly, speaking gently of sweet and tender dreams. a lovely interpretation of a lovely song. thank you.

ic42 said 45 days ago
valley of the bells
it is kassia's music and words, they always captivate me. there is great joy to know this music carries you to a dreamy place. thank you for a listen and a dream. 0x0

bud said 49 days ago
Beautiful version of Bill's
soon to be perennial favorite. I can see you inspiring others to give Bell another go. Really like the space and pace. Peace.

ic42 said 45 days ago
it is a favorite
it is a solid composition, so strong. it is a new space, however it is a same pace. it is hoped to inspire others. smokevw is so generous to offer this star. space for rent. 0x0

Organic
Great cosmic sound. Good christmasy melody on the synth.
Happy Holidays

ic42 said 45 days ago
organic chemistry
if it is a good organic cosmic synthesizer sound, then it is complete. thank you for unwrapping the present, it makes a happy future. 0x0

RadioChuck said 47 days ago
you are
amazing. your music lifts me. it is trancendental. it is life. it is amazing. thank you.

ic42 said 42 days ago
a lift
it is good that the music lifts you. it is hoped not to be elevator music, however. your words lift my spirits. thank you for a visit and a comment. 0x0
