about
This is a remake from scratch of my old track Travel Through Space. You can find the original from 2005 here: www.youtube.com/watch?v=gslJmGrTJFY
I started this track during the summer of 2021. It was just a simple arpeggio in the beginning and I had no intention of doing a remix/remake of anything. But pretty soon I felt it was a bit similar to my old track, so I went all the way to try and do a completely new version of it. Basically the only things that remains (besides the similar arpeggio and feeling) is the old Vocaloid song samples I did back in 2005, and one pad sound. Everything else is new. I thought about trying out some real vocals for this version, but I kind of like the old quirky and almost alien-like vocals from the old track. To me it is part of what makes this track stand out a bit.

I want to give thanks to NASA for sharing epic space related speech samples. You can find their library at: www.nasa.gov/connect/sounds/
The amazing artwork was inspired by the Swedish painter/artist Simon Stålenhag's work, and fantastically envisioned by Huba Adorjan. If you ever need to get quality artwork done - Huba is the man! Check his work out: www.instagram.com/hubaadorjan/
Many thanks to my friends who helped with feedback during pre-listenings, to push this track to the next level.
And lastly I want to give a big thank you to my friends, fans, family and my colleagues at work for joining the live premieres and supporting me throughout the year.
