Space Is Big

 

Back in a Tangerine Dream music vibe at the moment, after the Blossom walk last week. Chris Franke left  them to do the Babylon 5 music, and that show had a look I love. Universal Image Creator is something I used for star fields back in the 1990s and have just upgraded it. It can make images greater than 640x480 pixels now.

So this music animation comic combines those influences, even if it doesn't sound like Tangerine Dream or look like Babylon 5. That is also from a time when I was living in Shizuoka Japan in the 1990s, and there is a back to the start feeling with being back in Japan again too. Not that I focus on "things Japan" like a lot of foreigners in Japan seem to do.  Have many interests outside that narrow field.

I read The Hitch Hikers Guide To The Galaxy at the end of High School, but the main thought here is about Aliens/ UFOs and that the distances from us to anywhere they might be is so vast that with our current understanding of science, any such visits impossible.  

Of course, maybe there is a hyperspace that will allow us to travel the great distances, and we are just still too primitive to know of it yet. 

And now I think to myself, what unexpected musical and illustrative turn will I make next?.. 

Well, I went and noticed while creating an image in   Universal Image Creator  some of it is animated, and if I capture that using OBS, can make an animated music video, like this:

But I also added the green graphics and the probe via addition layers in the video editor.

This version has more interesting 16 step sequencer variations, with some steps dropped out, and at other times "ratcheted". 

And another, musically not so interesting though, even if the sun is awesome:
