This makes me feel like stopping at the new place they put up on Ganymede. They got the best chicken fried steak I've had since my mammy used to make it for me. Think I'll stop by on my trip back into the inner solar system, pick up some duterium for my rigs fusion reactor while I'm around Jupiter and truck right through to Venus from there. Been hauling Helium-3 from Proxima Centauri for 20 chronological years as an owner operator. Hoping by the time I can retire I can afford settle down somewhere in rural Mars and spend my last days learning banjo, if theres any rural Mars left by then. Always wanted to learn but I never had the time. Keepin the spirit of ancient appalachia alive.
I turned a Japanese garden into a dirt bike course in a rural town and nobody's called the cops on me yet for ripping up the main road. My town is better than your town. Also; rural Mars is over rated. Ain't nobody gett'n laid On Mars...can you imagine bringing what a woman needs to exist these day to another planet? I don't think there's enough rocket fuel to even carry her night time routine. Only way she's going anywhere is if she's a good kisser...or it's a complicated good bye.
Makes me miss my home of New Appalachia, another three months on this laser rig in the outer belt mining carbon, hard work but Titan needs its Graphite, and they pay better than the living I make off the Hogs since the blight hit the Martian Chestnut. I tear-up just thinking about my great-grandpappy, he first seeded those hills during the terraform. Now the hills are dying!
The Martian Chestnut blight!👏👏 - Woodworker here. Wormy chestnut happens to be favorite wood to work with. I even turned a wormy chestnut gear shifter knob for the stick-shift in my Subaru. Thanks for this awesome comment!
I grew up in Jasper GA. Moved out when I was only 9. It’s in the southern tip of the Appalachian Mountains. I miss it very much. Some places I drive in Oregon reminds me of it…
@@GearheadTrucking Beautiful area of GA. I hiked the first 90 or so miles of the App Trail from Springer Mtn to the NC border. Blood Mtn was fantastic. One of my favorite memories of my 20s.
Reminds me of playing guitar and banjo with my grandpappy, in the middle of literally nowhere in the high plains of Kansas in the late 40's, I was 8 yrs old. I'm now 83 and still living in that ole cabin on 64 acres, and still playing my banjo for my great grandkids.
Your great grandkids will carry your banjo melodies with them for the rest of their lives. Somehow the banjo just sticks in kid's brains. My favorite audiences to play for have always been kids. And I've had more people than I can count tell me about their grandad's playing for them as kids back in the 60s, 70s, 80s, etc.
Outer wilds, playing red dead, just working outside. This is a genre I didn't know I needed in my life but now i can't go without it. Huge props from southern Appalachia, takes me back to when Great Grandad was still around
You've done it. You've tapped into a genre I've wanted to exist ever since listening to the Journey of the Sorcerer as the intro to the Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy all those years ago. Thank you.
The aesthetic in this video, as far as I could guess, is probably based on Journey of the Sorcerer. That was the theme song for The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy.
It's 2am in a sleepy little village in Wales UK 🏴 and the wind is absolutely howling and I'm in bed with no lights on and I discovered this video and it is so perfect for a night like this, I'm transported to another dimension and I'm sailing the astral plains trying to soak up every last drop of this magic 🪄.
I spent time in Wales a few years ago before covid. Absolutely beautiful countrysides and Snowdonia. I ended up staying in a yurt and a 250 year old cobblestone house, both out in the middle of nowhere.
@@SpaceBanjoMusic really, wow! Wales is such an underestimated place and it's so beautiful, Snowdonia is a true gem of a place and the home's you lived in sound wonderful and in the middle of nowhere is such a blissful experience, thanks for your reply and major thanks for introducing me to the wonderful music you created.
Man this sure does bring back the childhood memories of walking the iron rich mountains of mars. My grandad taught me how to hunt for fossils on Venus the summer before he died.
"This morning, I woke up and started working from home. I poured a cup of coffee and started playing this music in the background on my headphones. As I listened, I placed the warm mug to my forehead and closed my eyes, feeling the warmth of the sun flooding through my window. Thanks for helping to make this morning so peaceful. if you read this, doesn't matter where you are right now on this planet, I wish you a wonderful night and a happy peaceful life where all your dreams become true."

As we sat around the chem fire the strums of the stranger's banjo reverberated though the hostile foreign gasses of the alien atmosphere producing a haunting but beautiful sound; familiar but distorted like a nostalgic dream. A feeling came over me that these notes were my own story being played, a weary but hopeful journey through a dangerous beautiful expanse.
I think I'm in love with you, except it takes at least three weeks to get good responses on my freight run between Antares and Alpha 497. String instruments can sound really silly if there's too much chlorofluorocarbonation at surface. But my lungs are in favor of playing in a 1G environment with a Nitro/Oxy/carbon atmosphere, with a banjo playing buddy. So... see ya around.

I used to play banjo with my grandsons back in the forties. This is the way I always heard it in my head. A few weeks ago, my wives and I celebrated our anniversary. We sat outside in the airless night, sharing your music through our helmets, looking up at the Earthrise. It was very romantic. If we ever get back this way again, I'd like you to play at our coronation. The metal fatigue virus should have blown over by then.
This reminds me a bit of Borderlands, specifically the Jesper Kyd tracks. He composed them to be western with a spacey modern sort of sound. I was just scrolling and saw "haunting space banjo" and had to click, and I'm so glad I did. Very well done 😊
This doesn’t live in my head rent free. This purchased a plot and pulled a double wide into an empty space I didn’t know I had. 50% of my chakras aligned when I turned this bad boy on.
Brian Eno talked about in his production for the soundtrack for the documentary For All Mankind that the NASA astronauts were allowed a single cassette on the voyage to the moon. Most wound up brining country music from the time. So the idea of frontier music being the music of the final frontier has always been around.
Yeh, I’m primarily a metal head and blues, so it’s REALLY COOL to have this eerie, old time banjo music. THANK YOU!! I’m now a lover of your style, and looking forward to more to come.❤😊
I had a whole day planned out, was just gonna put on some background music, then a video appeared called "Haunting Space Banjo" and... well... here we are
This!!! Yes! I've been slowly building a Spotify playlist of dark bluegrass and spooky blues. It has to evoke a very particular feeling, so additions are hard to come by, and I'm always on the lookout for songs to add. TH-cam served this up for me, and when I read "Haunting Space Banjo" I had hope but didn't actually expect; after all, when I read about "blackgrass" I thought perhaps I'd found my people, but actually listening to it proved to be a dead end. This, however - the first few notes rolled out, flooding my brain with dopamine, and I knew this was on my wavelength. I'm moving to Appalachia soon and this will fill that cabin in the mountains perfectly. Thank you!!!
I would also love to see/hear your playlist. I was born on Halloween and play guitar/electric Sitar/ and Theremin in a spooky blues/ swamp Rock band in NW Wisconsin. We're adding Fiddle +Banjo to our lineup. Would like to explore more musical visionaries in this style.
This takes me back to my teenage years camping out on the Martian plains, just me, the lonesome wind, and those stars that I knew were out there somewhere beyond the dusty skies
You did this very well 💞 A genre of music that has been around for a long time but never goes out of style, still good and true to the talent you brought to more people. Wishing anyone who sees this comment good luck 🍀🍀🍀
This is fine stuff. As a musician (drummer), I've always enjoyed the distinct voice of the banjo, beginning with the Kingston Trio, Earl Scruggs, then ramping up in the '90s and beyond with Bela Fleck--the wunderkind who fused banjo with jazz and other genres.
@@lmp9726 thank you🙏 I remember the first time I watched the video of Bela Fleck's live performance of Big Country back in the 90s(or maybe early 00s) here on TH-cam. Completely opened my mind. I can still hear it in my head.
This is insanely too cool!!!... And I love the changing space cowboy banjo player!!!... I was listening to another music video, and when it was over, I had not closed the window... This came on next!!!... I have a seriously eclectic taste in music, am from Louisiana, so this is dead in my wheelhouse!!!... Had to share with my brothers...
This video inspired me to get a banjo, i’ve been playing for eight months now, and I’m super grateful for this video introducing me to banjo, I love playing the banjo, just got my first good banjo!
@@SpaceBanjoMusic I think you misunderstand me. Individual track uploads would allow people to make their own playlists with your music. I'd like to add your music to a playlist with some other artists stuff :)
As someone learning the banjo, I’d love if you uploaded the notes to these so I could follow along with the fire roaring outside like a fellow cosmic adventurer.
I'd love to be listening to this out in the country somewhere, far from any city with it's light pollution, on a cloudless night with the void and the stars stretching away ...
I love your work, you make my day brighter every time I play one of your videos in Nebraska. Your music reminds me of my home in Nebraska-I love Nebraska, nearly as much as my father loves Nebraska. My hope is to play this video for my father when I see him again in Nebraska. He is a great man. He would understand what I see in your channel. You truly have something great here, keep up the good work and I look forward to your next video when I’m in Nebraska❤
More of this please, perfect calm winter evening music. it can be desolate here in Canada in the winter, -35 degrees Celsius, still made it out ice fishing in a snow desert on a frozen lake this weekend though. Yes I Build igloos, I don't sleep in em but theyre a great place to take a break from shoveling snow and life in general.
this is amazing!!! I play this in one tab and mix it with a log cabin fireplace crackling and winter wind howing outside in another tab. Goes together perfectly!
I'm a fan of bluegrass and Appalachian deep Appalachian music. And let me tell you when I heard I am so glad that I stumbled upon this link to hear this music. You are truly a phenomenal artist putting this together in taking people back way back to long time ago with your grandpappy's and and all and just you captured the essence the true essence of what this stuff was written about back then and family in true values that we are missing today. You are an inspiration and a true artist I mean just amazed me thank you ever so much for putting this together and just almost in tears how much absorbed into this music and where it takes me back long ago. Thank you ever so much for making this this older 53-year-old man feel like a kid again and around his grandparents that he misses so much. Forever indebted thank you ever so much.
Keep your Space Marines and such, I'm happy just driving grox to market on an agri-world and appreciating the double sunset while lighting up a fresh Imperial Best cigarette.
I moved to Reedsport, Oregon when I was in my early 20’s. I’m 28 now and living in Illinois, and this mix reminds me of great times driving on the Oregon coast at night and looking at the stars through the conifer trees and hills of Oregon. Beautiful, thank you 💜
I'm sitting here with my newborn of 4 days sleeping in my arms. Tired cause of course he cried in my arms for two hours this morning, while I let mama sleep from feeding him all night. Reign in one hand. Kid in the other. Typing this with my toes. I tell ya, this space banjo got me in a nice vibe!
I know these songs; John Henry, and Little Sadie... "I went out one night for to make a little round, met little Sadie and I shot her down. I went back home and got in my bed, .44 smokeless under my head..." I play banjo too, and I love these classics. That claw hammer... 👌 Doc Watson sang these the best.
I have been looking for something to intro my sci-fi TTRPG, the lonely, solemn and atmospheric space western nature of this is a perfect fit as a background to narration, it sets the tone and scene. It just pulls all the elements I have planned together perfectly. So glad I found this. Top tier, seriously.
Just wanted to say that stumbling across this channel out of mere chance has been a true blessing. I can honestly say this is the most refreshing and intriguing "new" music I've found in quite some time. Every moment, every strum and haunting echo has been a great joy to experience. You've gained yourself a loyal subscriber here.
@@SpaceBanjoMusic No thanks necessary! All the thanks and appreciation goes to you. Keep up the incredible work and please don't stop churning out those tasty beats!
Thank you everyone for the positive feedback! Really enjoyed making the music for this one. Also, I've had several people mention selling HD wallpapers of this art. If you're interested: timbrzeal.gumroad.com/l/SpaceWestern

🎶 Kudos to the artist for crafting a tranquil masterpiece that's truly unique! Never knew the banjo could be this satisfying 💜🎶 whish you all a great day 💜
This makes me feel like stopping at the new place they put up on Ganymede. They got the best chicken fried steak I've had since my mammy used to make it for me. Think I'll stop by on my trip back into the inner solar system, pick up some duterium for my rigs fusion reactor while I'm around Jupiter and truck right through to Venus from there. Been hauling Helium-3 from Proxima Centauri for 20 chronological years as an owner operator. Hoping by the time I can retire I can afford settle down somewhere in rural Mars and spend my last days learning banjo, if theres any rural Mars left by then. Always wanted to learn but I never had the time. Keepin the spirit of ancient appalachia alive.
I turned a Japanese garden into a dirt bike course in a rural town and nobody's called the cops on me yet for ripping up the main road. My town is better than your town. Also; rural Mars is over rated. Ain't nobody gett'n laid On Mars...can you imagine bringing what a woman needs to exist these day to another planet? I don't think there's enough rocket fuel to even carry her night time routine. Only way she's going anywhere is if she's a good kisser...or it's a complicated good bye.

Space and banjos. A combination I never knew I needed.
Play Outer Wilds 🌲🪐
Outer Wilds, Wander Over Yonder, Starbound, Hardspace Shipbreakers
Have I been blind to space banjos?
Perfect soundtrack for Rimworld
No banjos, but if you want some great space cowboy music, dig up the album Sundown on Venus by Jet Black Berries.
Amen to that, brother!
This Banjo must be special, very special cause it can travel trough vacuum of space and it can be heard loud and clear here in Serbia.
Thank You.

Ditto. What a way to put it into words.
I've been chasing this sound since I first saw that movie.
The lonesome sound of the banjo is perfect for space. What an excellent combination.
You have to have the right atmosphere to do it properly. Too much helium, and sounds like a 30s Steamboat Willie cartoon..

That bit is from the Eagles, Journey of the Sorcerer
This doesn’t live in my head rent free. This purchased a plot and pulled a double wide into an empty space I didn’t know I had. 50% of my chakras aligned when I turned this bad boy on.
I'm a simple man. I hear a tritone played on the banjo, I click like.
I love how everyone has their own way of describing this genre
Part of me wishes more people would place more weight on the "Old Time" side of it. Almost all these tunes are over 100 years old!
Who would've thought that the sounds of bluegrass and the great unknown would sound so good together. Thanks for all your work!
Check out "Outer Wilds" video game and it will all make sense. 😉
Thank you for listening!
there should be a book about space hillbillies@foxfireman188-ls1kv
Brian Eno talked about in his production for the soundtrack for the documentary For All Mankind that the NASA astronauts were allowed a single cassette on the voyage to the moon. Most wound up brining country music from the time. So the idea of frontier music being the music of the final frontier has always been around.
They always said the banjo has a "high and lonesome" sound so it makes sense to me.

Thanks!
Thank you!
Yeh, I’m primarily a metal head and blues, so it’s REALLY COOL to have this eerie, old time banjo music. THANK YOU!! I’m now a lover of your style, and looking forward to more to come.❤😊
@@twistedcryptid Glad you like it! Makes me happy you know it's old time banjo. :) Most people just say bluegrass. Thanks for the comment.
@@SpaceBanjoMusic yes, it could be considered blue grass as well. Either way, you’ve me got me hooked, thank you my friend.🥰
"Haunting Space Banjo" sounds like a badass rare item you'd find in some random shack that a UFO crashed near
O MYYYY! You ARE good at this!
A boss weapon in Elden Ring.
Definitely a FallOut Quest Item.

* Retrieve the Haunting Space Banjo
I use this for ambience in my steampunk D&D sessions. Fantastic ambience.
I had a whole day planned out, was just gonna put on some background music, then a video appeared called "Haunting Space Banjo" and... well... here we are
I come from Kepler-442b with a banjo on my knee, I’m going to TOI-700e, my true love for to see...
This!!! Yes! I've been slowly building a Spotify playlist of dark bluegrass and spooky blues. It has to evoke a very particular feeling, so additions are hard to come by, and I'm always on the lookout for songs to add. TH-cam served this up for me, and when I read "Haunting Space Banjo" I had hope but didn't actually expect; after all, when I read about "blackgrass" I thought perhaps I'd found my people, but actually listening to it proved to be a dead end. This, however - the first few notes rolled out, flooding my brain with dopamine, and I knew this was on my wavelength. I'm moving to Appalachia soon and this will fill that cabin in the mountains perfectly. Thank you!!!
Happy you like it
What's the name of your Playlist? And is it public?
Yes i would like to know that playlist
Welcome to these here hills neighbor!!
I would also love to see/hear your playlist. I was born on Halloween and play guitar/electric Sitar/ and Theremin in a spooky blues/ swamp Rock band in NW Wisconsin. We're adding Fiddle +Banjo to our lineup. Would like to explore more musical visionaries in this style.
This takes me back to my teenage years camping out on the Martian plains, just me, the lonesome wind, and those stars that I knew were out there somewhere beyond the dusty skies
Ever since the release of Outer Wilds I’ve wanted more music like this and low and behold it’s all here!
*lo and behold
You did this very well 💞
A genre of music that has been around for a long time but never goes out of style, still good and true to the talent you brought to more people.
Wishing anyone who sees this comment good luck 🍀🍀🍀
This is fine stuff. As a musician (drummer), I've always enjoyed the distinct voice of the banjo, beginning with the Kingston Trio, Earl Scruggs, then ramping up in the '90s and beyond with Bela Fleck--the wunderkind who fused banjo with jazz and other genres.
@@lmp9726 thank you🙏 I remember the first time I watched the video of Bela Fleck's live performance of Big Country back in the 90s(or maybe early 00s) here on TH-cam. Completely opened my mind. I can still hear it in my head.
gives me STARCRAFT soundtrack feel. also COWBOY BEBOP also added western/cowboy into space...
Starcraft, 25 years ago, brought me to this moment. Right here, right now.
I knew space rock was a thing, but this right here hits me where i live.
Space rock for the heart, Space Banjo for the soul
Yall aint from around this galaxy, GO ON GIT!
😂😂
What an underrated comment holy shit
Hysterical...Why does this comment only have 35 likes...
Hahaha

I don't always rock out to banjo centtric music, but when I do, it's Space Banjo .
Seriously, it's interesting.
As a sci-fi nerd who grew up in the foothills of Appalachia, this is a blend that I *never* knew I needed.
This is insanely too cool!!!... And I love the changing space cowboy banjo player!!!... I was listening to another music video, and when it was over, I had not closed the window... This came on next!!!... I have a seriously eclectic taste in music, am from Louisiana, so this is dead in my wheelhouse!!!... Had to share with my brothers...
I'm happy you enjoy it! Thank you for sharing🙏
This video inspired me to get a banjo, i’ve been playing for eight months now, and I’m super grateful for this video introducing me to banjo, I love playing the banjo, just got my first good banjo!
@@starshipgaming8912 that's awesome!! Put a big smile on my face. :) Thank you for letting me know!
It’s good to have banjo fired up in the cockpit when flying the belt.
This is the music I didn’t ask for. But it’s the music I needed.
Please upload these songs individually without loops! I'd really love to make a playlist with this stuff!
th-cam.com/video/y5eyNXu6EhE/w-d-xo.html
@@SpaceBanjoMusic I think you misunderstand me. Individual track uploads would allow people to make their own playlists with your music. I'd like to add your music to a playlist with some other artists stuff :)
As someone learning the banjo, I’d love if you uploaded the notes to these so I could follow along with the fire roaring outside like a fellow cosmic adventurer.
Yeah - please 😍
The first song is Dock Boggs, Country Blues.
We don't have nearly enough space western in our lives. Long live Space Banjo!
Long live FireFly!
I'd love to be listening to this out in the country somewhere, far from any city with it's light pollution, on a cloudless night with the void and the stars stretching away ...
There is no light pollution... in space!
Put one of these tracks on loud, pick a highway, and just drive for an entire day. That's when the adventure begins.
yes indeed. it's time to leave the city when you get those feelings. the city needs you, but you don't need the city.
I love your work, you make my day brighter every time I play one of your videos in Nebraska. Your music reminds me of my home in Nebraska-I love Nebraska, nearly as much as my father loves Nebraska. My hope is to play this video for my father when I see him again in Nebraska. He is a great man. He would understand what I see in your channel. You truly have something great here, keep up the good work and I look forward to your next video when I’m in Nebraska❤
@@HelloThere... I'm happy to hear that. :) Thank you. To be honest I don't know much about Nebraska. What should I look up about Nebraska?
Been scrolling by thus video for a while. Glad I clicked it. I like that sound!
Glad you clicked! Thanks for listening
More of this please, perfect calm winter evening music. it can be desolate here in Canada in the winter, -35 degrees Celsius, still made it out ice fishing in a snow desert on a frozen lake this weekend though. Yes I Build igloos, I don't sleep in em but theyre a great place to take a break from shoveling snow and life in general.
this is amazing!!! I play this in one tab and mix it with a log cabin fireplace crackling and winter wind howing outside in another tab. Goes together perfectly!
My oh my this sounds amazing and wish I knew how You were doing that
I must try this!!!
Just when I thought there was nothing new in the galaxy, this comes along 💯🏆
Earth is gone! And all we have left is the haunting sounds of space banjo, timelessly echoing through the black hole and the cosmos.
Wow . How do people come up with this music!? Its gorgeous 😍
I want to go somewhere away from lights and roads, and just stare up at the night sky and let my mind roam out there, with this as my soundtrack.
This is amazing, man.
Music like this would've been a great fit for certain parts of The Mandalorian, it being a space western.
Well done 👏
As a future citizen researching 21st century media, this reminds me back when I used to beam myself to school uphill both ways with no moon boots.😊
This is such an evocative sound. History meeting the future right here in the presents! Got a real daniel lanois feel to
It . Brilliant !!
Things got wacky at 4:25 - I was expecting a slow-paced, chilled out vibe, but that caught me off-guard. Great music!
First, trance harmonica, then heavy metal cello, now chill wave banjo. Beautiful sounds for my soul. Thank you!
ohh, i need me some trance harmonica
*eagerly googles trance harmonica
Add some Mongolian Techno to the list th-cam.com/video/9uMtnH7cABg/w-d-xo.html
As A harmonica player... Effin' A! Someone else knows about it!!! I play with a couple of "acid rock" groups, and we be chilling' like that
music bridges gaps
I watch the sky late at night and this carries me on my way through the universe.
I'm a fan of bluegrass and Appalachian deep Appalachian music. And let me tell you when I heard I am so glad that I stumbled upon this link to hear this music. You are truly a phenomenal artist putting this together in taking people back way back to long time ago with your grandpappy's and and all and just you captured the essence the true essence of what this stuff was written about back then and family in true values that we are missing today. You are an inspiration and a true artist I mean just amazed me thank you ever so much for putting this together and just almost in tears how much absorbed into this music and where it takes me back long ago. Thank you ever so much for making this this older 53-year-old man feel like a kid again and around his grandparents that he misses so much. Forever indebted thank you ever so much.
Love the artwork. And the music is great in my workshop.
Glad to hear that. Thank you🙏
This is so Firefly and Borderlands rolled into one AWESOME mix, I cant contain myself.
Makes me think of Firefly. Love it.
Took me a while but I finally found someone pointed that out
Keep your Space Marines and such, I'm happy just driving grox to market on an agri-world and appreciating the double sunset while lighting up a fresh Imperial Best cigarette.
@7:40 really love this interpretation of old time tunes, especially this version of John Henry
Thank you! John Henry is a favorite of mine.
As a space banjo I agree that this is the way we sound!
it’s the never ending hall reverb with a nice touch of slapback echo such a lovely soundscape
Banjo music to me is always uplifting and happy. Fast or slow I never get tired of the rhythm and tempo. But this hits different. I like it.
I moved to Reedsport, Oregon when I was in my early 20’s. I’m 28 now and living in Illinois, and this mix reminds me of great times driving on the Oregon coast at night and looking at the stars through the conifer trees and hills of Oregon. Beautiful, thank you 💜
I love Oregon. I live in the mountains of Oakridge Oregon. I'm a child of Appalachia so this is a perfect mix.
Why on earth would you move to ilinois from oregon?
Thank you from a sleepless soul waiting for the day to start on frozen day in Nebraska.
Thanks!
I'm sitting here with my newborn of 4 days sleeping in my arms. Tired cause of course he cried in my arms for two hours this morning, while I let mama sleep from feeding him all night. Reign in one hand. Kid in the other. Typing this with my toes. I tell ya, this space banjo got me in a nice vibe!
@@Klatt1 this made me smile :)
@@SpaceBanjoMusic Haha! Glad it did! Thanks for the vibes!
Wow, this is perfect. It really fits with the space-western series I'm writing at the moment. Thank you so much and keep it up.
Firefly !!
I know these songs; John Henry, and Little Sadie... "I went out one night for to make a little round, met little Sadie and I shot her down. I went back home and got in my bed, .44 smokeless under my head..." I play banjo too, and I love these classics. That claw hammer... 👌 Doc Watson sang these the best.
I had no idea such a music concept existed, but now I suddenly have a new favorite.
This makes my mind wander beautifully to an imaginative place. It’s so peaceful and pure.
I have been looking for something to intro my sci-fi TTRPG, the lonely, solemn and atmospheric space western nature of this is a perfect fit as a background to narration, it sets the tone and scene.
It just pulls all the elements I have planned together perfectly. So glad I found this. Top tier, seriously.
Just wanted to say that stumbling across this channel out of mere chance has been a true blessing. I can honestly say this is the most refreshing and intriguing "new" music I've found in quite some time. Every moment, every strum and haunting echo has been a great joy to experience. You've gained yourself a loyal subscriber here.
Happy to hear that :) Thank you for your kind words.🙏
@@SpaceBanjoMusic No thanks necessary! All the thanks and appreciation goes to you. Keep up the incredible work and please don't stop churning out those tasty beats!
The algorithm sometimes blesses us, but all thanks goes to the artist of course.
I love listening to this, it has such a Firefly feel to it.
thank you, someone said it!
You're gorram right.
Browncoats forever.
Shiny.
I don't think insects can sound like a banjo
i never thought i would listen to banjo music but you know what A+ will listen again
Just what my soul craved, Space Banjo!!!
What an incredible sound for the universe, thank you!
Love from New Zealand 🇳🇿
:) glad you enjoyed it
Where has this been all my life ?
Love it
Chillwave indeed! It relaxed muscles I didn't even know were tensed. Something to listen to while gazing at the starry skies
Clicked on this because i was curious. 30 mins later I'm like "wait i want more". Just added Space Banjos to my Spotify list😊
Thank you everyone for the positive feedback! Really enjoyed making the music for this one.
Also, I've had several people mention selling HD wallpapers of this art.

Since I'm 99% sure it was AI generated anyways, I'm just going to use stable diffusion to upscale and fix the quality. Thanks!
@@penguin1714 read the description and you'll be 100% sure.
@@SpaceBanjoMusic dope
@@penguin1714 I think I misunderstood what you were saying in your first comment.😆 I added quite a bit of grain and texture to the original in Lightroom. If you send me an email, I'll send you the unedited version if you want! timbrzeal@gmail.com
Seventy-five years in Cryo-Stasis and the music just ain't the same no more. Glad somebody still appreciates it.
This has no business being so good
🎶 Kudos to the artist for crafting a tranquil masterpiece that's truly unique! Never knew the banjo could be this satisfying 💜🎶 whish you all a great day 💜
