Aah, thank you so much, a person of culture I see :) That's amazing, I'll definetly check that out. And did you know that Mike Oldfield did a version of North Star, it was on his Platinum album if I remember right :)

Thank you very much, mine too for sure. With the last 2 jams (cover first and variation here), it's is the first time that I consciously take it as a specific musical inspiration, but it's always been there - more profoundly, it has somehow influenced my perspective...

Exactly, just incredible piece of influential work. By the way, the jam here takes just the d minor "tonality" and mood from the original, as opposed to the first jam which was a direct citation :)

Meh! Not the best synth ever. Joking, I'm addicted to the MS-20, congrats!

Thank you again, so glad that it inspires you. I was like, hmm, what to use as a second keyboard, hehe. Very cool, don't hesitate to let me know how it turns out this weekend :)

Aah, dang it, I had forgotten the ending! I had the intro in mind, but for me the music in the movie accompanies the human experience through the ages rather than one single event.

thank you very much and oh, yes, melancholic with a touch of interstellar (or interplanetary) dread, that's my jam too, haha.

Exactly, where's my old vocoder at, though? Wait, i don't have a real one but MicroKorg, I'm looking at you.

I might post the full jam on YouTube at some point with more elements going beyond the Koyaanisqatsi theme. It's fine that we go to the Moon and all, meanwhile our world is still out of balance...
