A little something I cooked up over the weekend. The Voyager probe was launched on 5 September 1977. By 25 August 2012 data from Voyager 1 indicated that it had become the first human-made object to enter interstellar space, traveling "further than anyone, or anything, in history".

This may be the last one for a little while as I have almost met my goal of 52 tracks for the year, I will still be continuing to check out everyone else's wonderful creations - you're not getting rid of me completely. I must thank everyone of you wonderful people on this forum for helping improve my composition skills, my listening skills and also helping me generate movement/width within a mix. 

I like the sound of the heart beat as a theme.  It sounded familiar though.

Man...great sounds, chords, etc. Super chill music. Love it!

Very relaxing theme Adrian. The piece flows really well. Great job on this. As an aside, I did a tune on this same topic a few years back, though it isn't as relaxing as yours, lol: http://www.soundclick.com/html5/v3/player.cfm?type=single&songid=6734768&q=hi&newref=1

Thanks David, you have a good memory as I did use a heartbeat kick at the start of one of my previous tunes but never carried it throughout the piece. This one goes throughout with a little bit of reverb on an AUX channel.
 
Thanks Jim, it was one of those accident moments. The main hook part actually started out as something completely different and then I just hit on the tune.
 
Thanks Dan, I took a listen to your tune and it certainly has that New Age/Yanni type vibe to it and I enjoyed the listen. Mine trots along at amore sedate 80bpm.

Very nice....  I liked it, relaxing but still interesting.   It's a keeper.
 
 
But "52 tracks for the year"?   Sheesh, I'm lucky if I can complete 5 in a year.   Way to knock 'em out!
 
 
 

Thanks Steve, I hit 40 last year and took stock of where I was and where I want to be and thought....man I have to stop being lazy with writing music. 

That's lovely Adrian, very fitting. Love the central theme. One of my favourite documentaries is this one;

Really astonishing and quite moving.

Thanks James, I vaguely remember that documentary and I share your thoughts on this. It does make you feel humble that in the grand scheme of things we are just a speck of dust.
 
To be honest the whole study of space and its many facets has always captured my imagination and if I could have stuck with the maths I probably would have looked at a career in that area.

Wow Adrian !
 
 
I wish I had the money to hire you as a personal musical Boot Camp Sargent  I certainly need somebody to tell me to  Drop and give me 52 tunes a year Soldier 
 
I Loved listening to your song . It took me away from my Drab kitchen table and gave me an opportunity to go on a musical journey someplace else much more mysterious and exciting then where my flesh was sitting  ...
 
I Love day dreaming to music . It helps recharge my Soul ....thank you for posting this tune
 
all the best,
 
Kenny
