Constance Demby is my Heroine. I hope she finds herself playing up in the sky her beautiful music for everyone. My mother listened to Constance on Hearts of Space, heard Novus in the Psychic Eye bookshop in her twenties. I had the honor of getting to correspond with her via email in my early teens. Her music changed my life. Her music blew me away. Nothing compares to her world-changing music. Rest in Peace, Constance Demby. You really are my Hero.
My mother showed me Novus when I was 10 or so. I embarked on the quest to discover the rest of her albums. Her music means so much to me, and encapsulates nothing but good memories. I used to correspond with her via emails when I was younger - my Mom had surprised me through having talked with her too, and gotten an autographed picture of her as a gift for me, but it was lost in the mail and I never got it :( I’m glad she is still with us! Her music brings me so much peace.
Dean Evenson and I videotaped Constance Demby years ago playing this amazing instrument. She was a good friend and a true pioneer in the field of new age and space music. As you can see, she was quite a character. Sad to hear of her passing, She made her mark and she will be missed. #peacethroughmusic
Two weeks ago I saw this little doc on TH-cam (Delian Mode) on Delia Derbyshire. I never heard of her before! She worked for the BBC, all its musician there had to work under anonymity regardless of their innovation and compositions. I couldn't believe all the innovations she implemented while there and was not given credit for until lately. I'm not trying to change anyone's mind here about her recognition status, but man or woman, mother or father of New Age or electronic or space music Delia was one of the pioneers that influenced many others to the genre, and many may not know her story.
I just discovered her through a documentary series. And I just googled her, and found out she passed away less than a month ago. May her Soul find peace and joy and light.
Wow I can't belive shes gone. May she rest in peace. I sensed something was amiss but couldn't figure out until now. All I knew is she made music of pure harmonious symphony.
Did not know until now she has ended her earthly journing. Constance Mary Demby: May 9, 1939 - March 20, 2021. Her compositions have inspired my soul for at least two decades now, and will even more now...freedom...how is freedom? 😇
Constance Demby's "Novus Magnificat" was one of the first real "New Age" CDs I ever bought (along with Coyote Oldman's "Tear of the Moon") back in 1996, beginning a new musical journey of discovery for me! To this day, New Age and Ambient are my favorite genres. The Space Bass was a sound sculpture she created back in the late 1970s, and was even used by George Lucas for sound effects in some of his movies! She was truly an innovator. I was sad to hear of her passing in 2021. I had most of her albums, but finally bought the ones I didn't have on mp3, at least. I'm sure she's continuing to play her music in the celestial spheres.
Fantastic! So soothing to my soul. I was lucky enough to meet Constance, such a musical visionary. I hope you’re playing a heavenly space bass now ! Rest in peace and love, and thank you for your music.
some of constance demby's music has been in rotation for me for a while, but i never knew about the space bass. This might be one of the coolest instruments I have ever heard. The sounds when she plays it with the bows are just absolutely breathtaking. Wow.
Su música es evocadora de los enigmas del espacio-tiempo y de otras realidades que solo podemos imaginar o soñar... Espléndida creadora cuyas obras rebasan el ámbito de la música... QDEP.
The hits of the bow on metal... The clank... Actually make it next level. I was getting Blade Runner city-scape images, Star Trek Original Motion Picture (the giant alien ship), and industrial Gedi Prime (Dune... spelling?) images.
Well isn't this the perfect front room for a don of the new age music movement. Look at the way the light is coloured and dappled in from the windows, mirroring the bougainvillea, all framed in dramatically placed and layered semi-transparent drapes...♥️

One of the greatest space musicians, and a true pioneer of space music. RIP Constance.

I stumbled upon constance demby looking for music for me to sleep too. Constance demby has always made me feel at peace.
Why are those sounds so soothing? They are!

Artista geniale e meravigliosa...rip CD!!
some of constance demby's music has been in rotation for me for a while, but i never knew about the space bass. This might be one of the coolest instruments I have ever heard. The sounds when she plays it with the bows are just absolutely breathtaking. Wow.
I've been using her craft for meditation for years 💓
Amazing. This is what I'm talking about.
Outstanding!!! Thank You,,, Much Appreciation!!
Amazing instruments. The results are incredible. RIP Constance.
Não sabia que ela tinha falecido 🇧🇷👏👏🙏😭😭😭 descanse em paz sua música toca na alma

Amazing, beautiful !!!
Makes me so happy
WOW!this is champion stuff! RIP Ms. Demby, wish i knew of your works earlier. just found out now. i want a space bass for myself!
Un abrazo para ella con mucho afecto por lo anterior y por esta evolución...😍😍
I'm so glad to see that her schooling never interfered with her education...

Amazing!
This is amazing!
life goals right here
so freaking cool!
that's so sick
Just heard that she has passed on. This is what was really meant by new age music. Not Enya
I feel like I was born simply to listen to this. I just learned that Constance is not with us anymore.
The hits of the bow on metal... The clank... Actually make it next level. I was getting Blade Runner city-scape images, Star Trek Original Motion Picture (the giant alien ship), and industrial Gedi Prime (Dune... spelling?) images.
These sounds are delicious. Thanks🙂🙂🙂🙂
Thank youuuuu CD
Wow........it's a acoustic synthesiser. .....the sound actually gets louder after its been played
rip to her

Was she a Buddhist ?
No synths were hurt
During this performance
Only the status quo
I wish I had known her before her passing
What became of the space bass? I want to purchase it.
So... this is where I'm going...
what happened to her space bass, after she passed?
WAT IS DIT !?!?!? WAUW !!!
Can anyone here tell me who. made this for her? I need one. I will pay for it.
She built it herself.
did she took inspiration from mark korven ?
this is how i win
Floating in a most peculiar way.
I now know the sound source for the alien voice in Alex Garland's Annihilation (th-cam.com/video/UHA44OvFCKc/w-d-xo.html) :D
Que mayor está ya, todos los músicos que me gustan lo estan, eso quiere decir que yo también soy ya mayor
ARE YOU A WIZARD?!
Be the person who makes your neighbors move away because weird alien noises are always emanating from your living room

Nobody cares. 😉
