I just want to say that this album changed my life. The first time I heard it, I don't think I'd ever really heard anything like it before. It also struck me how cool it was that it was just available in full on youtube for free, and was downloadable for free on Bandcamp. I was probably 16 when I came across it, and what made me fall in love with it was the fact that all of these songs were so simple, yet so so good. I think I had been under the impression that music had to be complex to be good for some reason. This deterred me from learning how to produce my own music despite my interest in it for a long time. Yet when I heard this album for the first time, I not only realized that I could make my own music too, but that it could be good. That other people could enjoy it and I could enjoy it just as much if not more than more complex music. Since then, I have fallen further into the Taxxon rabbit hole and she has become one of my biggest musical inspirations. I just recently finished and put out my first full length album that I'm very proud of. And I don't know if that would have happened without running across this album all those years ago. Thanks Patty ❤
I don't quite know what it is about this album, but it has been an absolute rock for me since I found it. The feelings of hope, assurance and optimism that live in these tracks... I often struggle to find anywhere else, within me or around me. Thank you Patricia. Thank you for creating a piece of art that gives me the power to take the fear of my unknown future and turn it into curiosity. I don't know where I'm going, how I'm gonna get there, or even who I'll be when I arrive. But when I listen to this album I remember that I'm not scared of any of that. In fact I'm going to enjoy the journey :)
21:30 6. Spaceman lyrics: I hold your picture in my hand The faded polaroid sits firmly in my grasp Its plain old little frame has aged far past the age that it would be replaced But there are no picture frames in space I saw the most beautiful sight I came up to saturn’s rings and flew right on by the side I don’t want to sound too saccharine, but I couldn’t help but be reminded of your eyes You know I always try When each star looks just like the next it all just feels so blue All these light years that I travel, I still travel without you Galaxies all around me, they all glitter with a passion, they say Hold on boy, one day you’ll be back home I lay surrounded in black sky Lost for all eternity but time still moves on by The brilliant comet’s tails are still so gallantly bright I could cry But there’s no place to wipe my eyes The vessel I reside in isn’t fixed These walls I swore were parallel now skew aside like this But perhaps I might be seeing things, I’ve been alone so long I can’t be sure You would tell me what's wrong When each star looks just like the next it all just feels so blue All these light years that I travel, I still travel without you Galaxies all around me, they all glitter with a passion, they say Hold on boy, one day you’ll be back home
Listened to it on the drive to the airport. The triumphant swell of the music as the city in the distance crested over the hills made an otherwise very anxious drive into a beautiful cosmological journey to a far-off skyport. Thank you so much for making this
I was just writing while listening to Sky Simplified and happened to get distracted and refresh your upload page to find this--a perfect midnight distraction honestly.
This is so lovely, and it has the best cover art of any of your albums! I cannot wait for your music to explode into the mainstream so I can say whilst wearing my hipster outfit "I was listening to Eric Taxxon before it was cool.".
This comment aged well :) It may not be mainstream, but between the credited use in several other video documentaries and the collaboration between her and larger youtubers such as Adam Neeley, Patricia has really grown as a name!
@@juliantrueman6542 maybe just say "I was listening to her work when she was going by her old deadname" instead of saying the name itself? I don't know Patty's feelings on this, but using a trans person's deadname for a joke without their express permission is kind of a faux pas, and it can cause gender dysphoria or icky feels.
i'm sitting here listening to the song at 21:30 on repeat crying it's absolutely beautiful thank you. it's the most accurate depiction of isolation and mental health and loneliness fuck
i really needed this breather after the objectivity response stream vods Thank you. A lot. For all of these things. Finding a sense of meaning or motivation to do things I want has felt so daunting for so long. Being able to resonate this closely with your content has made me genuinely feel like I belong somewhere, like I can carve that belonging out of the space I exist in. For the first time in what feels like forever I want to start seeing myself as a non-null entity and to feel something like trust for this feeling that I can simply exist and matter in a positive way to myself. I decided to write this here since this is where I formed the words but it's a comment that can be applied broadly across all of your content - I am inspired by you. Sorry if this is intense.
Sorry for the third comment - third times the charm. This album is just so good. It was the first one I'd discovered from you, and it holds a very very special place in my heart. This whole album feels like a warm hug from a close friend rubbing my back and telling me that everything is going to be okay. Like, "Life is tough, we all struggle with our own demons, but regardless of that, I'm here for you, and you are going to be just fine." Thank you so so much for everything that you do. From a furry, trans, autistic follower, thank you, from the bottom of my heart. ♥Don't ever stop being your amazing self.
Daaamn this album has sent me on a trip and I haven't even used any substances. Jeez. I only listened to the first 10-15 seconds of the first track on a Summoning Salt video and immediatelly came looking! Love it!
I don’t rlly know anything abt music but I can say that this is nice to make art to! It makes me feel more curious and less scared somehow,, and a mindset of exploration is very important to making good art I think. So hey thanks!
I just read your post about ABA and the abuse you went through growing up. I went through the same, and it's shattered my ability to create. I wish I knew how you made it to now with your passion and beauty intact.
This is honestly my favorite Album by you and I hope you have similar kinds of albums like this in the future. This album reminds strongly of Carl Sagan's Cosmos and Star Trek. I routinely use it to write.
sidenote: my 4 year old dog (who was my bet friend and such a loving creature) named Hutch was killed by a truck this past Saturday. thankfully, he was not mangled by the vehicle and died almost instantly, so there was no pain. i helped dig his grave and bury him, and am still working through grieving. thank you so much for this piece of music, it’s helping me so much!
Hey man, I know it’s a bit late, but I got those time stamps for you! I posted a comment a few minutes ago, but here’s the same thing copy-pasted: Time-stamps: Epiphany - 0:00 Traveller - 4:09 Lonesome - 9:12 Brightest Timeline - 11:35 Funeral - 16:52 Spaceman - 21:18 Ascent - 26:34 Scarcity - 37:01 Beast - The link to the bandcamp is in the description, and I went with the assumption that the songs are in the same order there as here, so hopefully that’s accurate. Still weird that no-ones made one of these yet! That, or it’s been buried in the comments. Weird either way. Hope this helps!
You're so darned good!!!!! I just got into videography and remembered that you let people use your music for their projects. I'm gonna make a banger video, credit you for music and send it your way,
besides the slow beginning, this album is pretty great synth beats all the way through, especially hits a great climax with Spaceman and that 10 minute track Ascent, theyre beautiful. really like that "one or two vocal centerpieces" structure you're reprising from Gallery. i dont think this is as replayable, catchy and addictive as that or The Killer, but its still some great banging beats
Does the opening track sound a lot like Pink Floyd's "Shine On You Crazy Diamond" to anyone else? The part just before the guitar's kick in. Not that that's a bad thing by any stretch, to have a slightly sunnier and happier "Shine On You Crazy Diamond"
still my fav album of yours. I think part of the reason why I like it so much is that I grew up listening to video game music from the n64 era onwards, the usage of synths and repeated melodies sounds very ... koji kondo? if that makes any sense. I understand the criticism towards it, but at the end of the day I just enjoy it. thanks for making this art.
dude how the fuck are you constantly putting out albums? i've been trying to put out an album for years but they all just seem to go away eventually. i've been working on a synthwave album for over a year now. also i'm only like 5 minutes in and this is excellent. HOW ARE YOU CONSTANTLY MAKING EXCELLENT ALBUMS?
hi i know this is really old but i'd love to hear what you're making if you still produce. synthwave is my favorite genre (: don't give up and compare yourself to others too much! let's be honest as beautiful as it is, patricia taxxon music is often rather minimal, more centered around the intention rather than the complexity, and i think that's how this artist generates their art so quickly. also i'd imagine they're very intelligent and motivated lol they're doing what they love. so yeah if you have anything let me know (:

I'm here because of Summoning Salt ^^ awesome music! Your tunes are very unique and have lots of personality
Summoning Salt is awesome!
@@sheepinatree I am watching summoning salt and I saw you comment this 😂 he is awesome
Splatoon Underground, bro same
Same here(!)
summoning salt used this? based.

6. Spaceman
lyrics:
I hold your picture in my hand
The faded polaroid sits firmly in my grasp
Its plain old little frame has aged far past the age that it would be replaced
But there are no picture frames in space
I saw the most beautiful sight
I came up to saturn’s rings and flew right on by the side
I don’t want to sound too saccharine, but I couldn’t help but be reminded of your eyes
You know I always try
When each star looks just like the next it all just feels so blue
All these light years that I travel, I still travel without you
Galaxies all around me, they all glitter with a passion, they say
Hold on boy, one day you’ll be back home
I lay surrounded in black sky
Lost for all eternity but time still moves on by
The brilliant comet’s tails are still so gallantly bright I could cry
But there’s no place to wipe my eyes
The vessel I reside in isn’t fixed
These walls I swore were parallel now skew aside like this
But perhaps I might be seeing things, I’ve been alone so long I can’t be sure
You would tell me what's wrong
When each star looks just like the next it all just feels so blue
All these light years that I travel, I still travel without you
Galaxies all around me, they all glitter with a passion, they say
Hold on boy, one day you’ll be back home
In a sense, this feels like the album to which Rainbow Road is a sequel. I find this kind of music very calming.
I think it is, it even has the same cover artist
This is one of the greatest electronic albums ever-no cap. Standing amongst giants here this is so beautiful
Listened to it on the drive to the airport. The triumphant swell of the music as the city in the distance crested over the hills made an otherwise very anxious drive into a beautiful cosmological journey to a far-off skyport. Thank you so much for making this

This is so lovely, and it has the best cover art of any of your albums! I cannot wait for your music to explode into the mainstream so I can say whilst wearing my hipster outfit "I was listening to Eric Taxxon before it was cool.".
And now say "I was listening to Patricia Taxxon when she was Eric Taxxon" haha

@@LeifLovebug yeah u right. I thought I was cis 2 years ago and was very dumb.
@@juliantrueman6542 This is quite a character ark
The way each album perfectly captures the essence of some abstract concept. I'm no longer listening to music, I'm listening to art
I've been listening to this album for 6 years now. Thank you so much, this music has meant a lot to me.
i'm sitting here listening to the song at 21:30 on repeat crying it's absolutely beautiful thank you. it's the most accurate depiction of isolation and mental health and loneliness fuck
Same here dude
Epiphany is awesome! Summoning Salt brought me here. The nostalgia fits great with those old speedruns.
This stuff is literally my walking music. It’s so chill and makes me feel like I’m in an opening to an indie movie about dreamscapes and shit
i really needed this breather after the objectivity response stream vods

The genre is up high, amongst floating islands in the sky with endless waterfalls, blue skies and an infinite void
I love playing Minecraft while listening to albums like this. Shit's comfy as hell..
I listen to this every time when I need to calm down. It's really relaxing after a very very stressful time.
I'd recommand Yellow Days - Harmless melodes. It's a very good album
One year later and still listening to this album very often ! It's amazing what kind of emotions it provokes on me
I also like these synthesizer sounds. Diatonic and soothing.
I decided to listen to your whole dyscography in chronological order.
DANKKrish I tried, but I couldn't
I don’t rlly know anything abt music but I can say that this is nice to make art to! It makes me feel more curious and less scared somehow,, and a mindset of exploration is very important to making good art I think. So hey thanks!
same!
this music feels really good on my adhd brain
Nice cover art

So beautiful, thank you this helps me stay calm in school!
I just kinda popped up here, great ambience music for my new home.
This is honestly my favorite Album by you and I hope you have similar kinds of albums like this in the future. This album reminds strongly of Carl Sagan's Cosmos and Star Trek. I routinely use it to write.
have you heard rainbow road yet?
@@AshOfSound yes and its amazing
Magnificent. The most peaceful dream. This took me places, thank you.
You're so right
I feel like Mojang should hit you up to make some music for Minecraft, it's so calming and soothing. It would definitely fit into the game
There are not enough moog machine soundtracks in our lives.
Just made my first Bandcamp purchase ever...great stuff!
Spaceman is one of my favorite songs of all time
I think it might be mine too
Same here. It's one of those songs that goes straight through to your soul
This is incredible work-love it very much man!
Bless you, my senior thesis is going much better when I have this music
I'm so glad your channel was recommended to me. Good content all around man.
Very good
He did it again
this is it
this is the best music
Dude... I luv this. I really hope Music is your key to the future.
this album helps me sm, I just feel so happy when I listen to it, thank you so much.
This gives me the feels of Mort Garsons Plantasia but making me think I'm chilling in a green house I feel as if I'm traveling through "retro-space"
hey could you put the time stamps for the songs when you get a chance?
She never got the chance
Anyone know the name of the track at 27:59? It weirdly wasn't on the album's bandcamp page (to my knowledge).
really enjoying this so far; would love time stamps by song when you can!

Hey man, I know it’s a bit late, but I got those time stamps for you! I posted a comment a few minutes ago, but here’s the same thing copy-pasted:

Lonesome - 9:12
Brightest Timeline - 11:35
Funeral - 16:52
Spaceman - 21:18
Ascent - 26:34

You're so darned good!!!!! I just got into videography and remembered that you let people use your music for their projects. I'm gonna make a banger video, credit you for music and send it your way,
i love this! nice to hear electronic music that isnt jusst 4/4 pounding blammos this is so pretty! :)
Thank you for the kind words but I must stress that there is so much electronic music that fits that description
I like!
This!
On track 1° and am reminded of Mort Garson's Plantasia
Bravo!
these sausage waveforms are gonna kill me eric
Dude, grate songs. very nostalgic ones, too.
hope you get the recognition you deserve
This music has such an incredible effect on me.
Great album, still listen to it all the time.
Spaceman made me cry, so... that's cool
I already like the first track, the melodies remind me of Shine On You Crazy Diamond I.
Overall a bit samey it's still a cute chill album. It was relaxing to listen to this while sick.
Very nice, I need to start writing some electronic
Love it!
Grade A, my dude.
Thank you for this album.
I want to animate this cover art to the beat of your songs so badly.
this is quite good thanks

Did a quick skim, and this sounds amazing. I can’t wait to immerse myself in this later tonight! ✌🏼
Really awesome album. Reminds me of Plantasia by Mort Garson.
same

incredible
This is so fun! I love it!
CS80? Some strong Vangelis flavors here... tasty!
boards of canada looks different
Gosh I love this album
Love this!

Aron puma I'm getting more of a "Welcome to the Machine" kind of vibe from it.
Aron puma - Nice interrobang avatar
Thanks!
One of your best albums ! Don't you want to put it on spotify ? It were more simple to listen it all the time
omg so good
Hey could I use some of this songs in an upcoming motion comic project? Also if you'd be up for it would you be up for some voice acting?
still my fav album of yours. I think part of the reason why I like it so much is that I grew up listening to video game music from the n64 era onwards, the usage of synths and repeated melodies sounds very ... koji kondo? if that makes any sense. I understand the criticism towards it, but at the end of the day I just enjoy it. thanks for making this art.
is this plantasia
i like it
our boy eric back at it again with the tunes!!!
Def one of her better albums, I feel it might become overshadowed by Rainbow Road but this is really solid too.
Spotify this plz.
I wonder what synth was used for the opening of Ascent, it's such a powerful sound
Hey this is nice
yeah
Midnight gospel vibes
hell yeah
"Posted 4 minutes ago"
Well fucking HELLO

44:25 the end came so sudden :O :/
I can't believe it's already over...it was so fun and smooth listen to
I LOVE YOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOU
This album fuckin slaps on shrooms. Highly recommended.
16:50 black hole sun

Why does it say all rights reserved on bandcamp?
because i have to change the rights of every song individually and i couldn't be bothered
Lonesome has some Dire Dire Docks vibes.
are you on spotify or apple music?I started listening to your music a few minutes ago and I love it lol
