Hey music maestros! Just wanted to send a shameless plug for an album I've posted on You Tube. It's a Planet Suite for the modern age. Was going to call it "The Exoplanet Suite"; but that name's already taken apparently! Likes and subscribes would be very much appreciated, as they really help me with the dreaded You Tube algorithm! I think all the tracks have been posted here before; but I've remastered them with vibrant new stereo mixes. Hopefully they work together as a suite? (N.B. The first track has been rewritten according to Peter's advice about staccato strings.) Alex

The emotional warmth from this track is spot on, my friend. It reminds Appollo 13 in so many ways (I forget who wrote the score for that). I love opening horn line that is double by lush strings. Then, we hear pitch percussion. Just so many colors and tones...I could write entire essay on this, but I do not enough space for that. 😄 Kudos!

Very interesting stuff, Luis, I'm sorry I'm late to the party to comment! This sort of exploration is exactly the sort of thing that composition software is good for. Means you don't have to retune a whole piano to find out what it would sound like. An excellent use of modern resources to imagine ancient sounds! The introduction is beautiful and a little unnerving, and the section that begins around measure 25 is just a strange but confident loveliness. What an interesting sound world you have brought us to!

This is a really good piece, and I have really been enjoying your music! Very exotic, and you are well-trained and have done your homework.😃
