Towel in my hand, fish in my ear, thumb in the air; Iâm ready to go hitchhiking the galaxy!

Reserved seating for the Restaurant at the End of the Universe. Bless you.
Holy shit I put this on as background music to read exactly that book!
You are one Hoopy Frood!
For anyone wondering, the HHGTTG theme is called "Journey of the Sorcerer," and it's by The Eagles. Yes, *those* Eagles!
"Take my love, take my land, take me to where I cannot stand. I don't care, I'm still free, you can't take the sky from me."
The hitchhikers guide the the galaxy vibes are so real with this, so good!
Mal would throw a hitchhiker right off the Firefly...
Never liked him.
Wait kevduit? Huh thatâs an odd one lol.
Just meant I didnât expect the psychopath to be here of all places

Ayy Kev
and this is interesting
When we eventually land on Mars, someone had better bring a banjo or else I will be severely disappointed in the entire Human race.
You should be the one, you can do it!
2 Songs, played in a loop. Style is "Clawhammer"/"Old-Timey" played on a 5-string banjo in Sawmill tuning.
1. Little Sadie 0:00 - 1:03
2. The Cuckoo 1:04 - 2:45
ðģ
+ (also: THANKS!)
Kept recognizing the melody but couldnt place it. Then I remembered "remember that night you shot Sadie down?" and it clicked.
Thank you so much!
I thought I recognized the cuckoo
Makes me think of "The Outer Wilds", this is great!
just casually one of the best games ever
I agree. A former student of mine actually composed the soundtrack to that game. He won an award for it.
@@kostasgalanis4589 I am going through the game again as we speak and..its not the most flushed out game combat/story building but it's world is bright with potential..easy 7/10 and fun.
@@DarkMustard1337 I think you are talking about outer worlds... That's a different game, because the outer wilds doesn't have any combat
@@DarkMustard1337 Wrong game, two completely different genre's, as well as Outer Wilds being a phenomenal game, whereas Outer WORLDS is the epitome of a mid video game.
I love how space music predominantly comes in three flavours: electronic synth, earthy orchestra, and YEEHAW
ðĪð§ððŦĻððĪĢðĪĢðĪĢðĪĢ
You should have a look at psychedelic/space rock cause there's four. If we're saying earthy orchestra is one of the predominant flavours that is, which I'd agree with.
It's crazy that such an OLD form of music fits perfectly in a future scifi world.
With guns, vast territories and lot lot of loot.
The banjo is an instrument that perfectly conveys the feeling of being alone in an uncharted frontier, with its hidden dangers and hidden beauties. Perfectly represented by its "high and lonesome" sound, through which even cheerful music always has a feeling of bitter homesickness.
Some things tap into realities and truths of the human condition. And the truth is, to borrow a phrase, "Space is long and dark and empty, quite a ways 'tween friend and friend..."
Frontier music has a certain sound to it, because it resonates with those feelings evoked by frontier living. It's part of why the 'space western' works so much as a style of fiction.
â@@CMacK1294as a kid I grew upon a reservation, 35 miles one way an 50 the other to the next town(35) and city(50). Working out away from everything, vast open flat lands to high mountain pines. Sometimes no one around for days or weeks at a time. This music hits home in a very painful an loving way
Firefly vibes, I dig it.
#Browncoats4ever
Take my love, take my land,
Take me where I cannot stand....
@@TheDefaultgameerIâm still free you canât take the sky from me
Better actually.
I was going to say it reminds me a lot of a game called Hardspace: Ship Breaker. Which, in turn, reminds me a lot of Firefly
ðĪĢð seeing somebody in a spacesuit playing a banjo is probably the most human thing I've ever heard. It's like you can take us to the stars but you can't take the Earthling out of us, lol â
I love the reverb, because in space no one hears you scream, but everyone hears you pick a banjo. :)
Maybe not chillwave but I think you're onto something else here. Ambient Space Banjo should definitely be a category in its own right. There's something about the subtle ambient effects that hits different than just the banjo. I might be the furthest thing from an Appalachian as a Sicilian but this is fantastic
I had another person mention that this isn't chillwave. I believe I need to remove it from the title. Thank you for this thoughtful response and positivity!
BanjoWave? OldTimeyWave? AppalachiaWave?
@@SpaceBanjoMusicI'm actually glad you haven't removed it from the title, at least not for this one. I would not have clicked it otherwise, and I actually *really* enjoy this. It just like, hits the spot.
Well, that, and the thumbnail was super enticing, ngl
Appalachia is quite the range. Spent some time at a music camp with a lot of well known folk and bluegrass artists in that range once. Could hear the fiddles and banjos and guitars through the mountains, was magnificent.
went to a bluegrass festival near Elkader Iowa this summer and one of the bands had an echo pedal on their banjo and were doing some seriously awesome Space Banjo! I would love to hear more of that!
"We do not have much connection, you and I. Still, this encounter feels special. I hope you won't mind if I think of you as a friend."
As an eastern Kentucky hillbilly who loves space, I approve. If we ever get to interact with intelligent life from who-knows-where, they must know of the banjo. Hell, even playing the banjo alone on some desolate planet WAY over yonder where no one will ever likely visit again would be satisfying in its own way.
Have you played the game Outer Wilds? If not, I recommend it, or at least the sound track!
tbh this is a vibe
There is something magical about a concert with no audience, just creativity for creativity's sake. No one will ever hear it but the one playing it, but that's ok because it makes it special.
Can I just ask, you don't deny moon landings, do understand science, not a Bible preaching?
@@DrumToTheBassWoopwhy not both? Lol
My vehicle is my ship. The roads are my space lanes. When out in the black, I like to play these tunes. When I'm all alone, and it's just me and the yoke. Gives a real "Firefly" feel.
Find a crew.
Find a job.
Keep flying.
be seeing you space cowboy
This is way better than the music in âFirefly.â
I always thought that music made it too campy/cheesy - it sounded like royalty free country/bluegrass music.
I mean, I know it was a show meant not to be taken too seriously, and it was, certainly, a unique concept.
However, honestly, I found that to be quite a frustrating part, of the show - the music.
This woulda faired way better, for that show.
@XOChristianaNicole I really like the album version of "Mal's Song", and I may catch hell for it but I still love "The Hero of Canton" lol. Otherwise, I agree, I think this sort of music would have worked better in a lot of the show. Alas. Glad to meet another browncoat. We may have fought for the losing side...still not convinced it was the wrong one.
âDutch we donât need more space gold!â
âI have a plan Arthur.â
Some things throughout history just match each other you know? Like banjos and the country side, blues guitars and the city, bagpipes and reeds for Ireland and Scotland coasts...but I never would've thought a banjo with some reverb could fit the complete emptiness of space so perfectly. If mankind ever does get past the Great Filter and does go to space colonization, it's the Wild West all over again, small people once again in a massive massive unexplored frontier.
I'm sure the jerks currently doing their level best to ruin everything right will try to prevent that as best they can.
if you like this, try search "hitchikers guide through the galaxy" (the new movie) "intro theme". it just starts with a space banjo and then gets epic. maybe you like it.
@@gyrrakavian ?
#Firefly
that and think about how many times someone has played a banjo next to a campfire looking up at the night sky. It just goes with it.
A genre I didn't know I needed. Reminds of of my brother. Lost him a few years back. He is out there somewhere playing a banjo and swaying.
He's playing with best now.ðŠðïļ
I mean, it's just a country/folk banjo with reverb.
i hear ya mate, def wierd that this is consiered a genre@@raurmanproductions3438
Hardspace soundtrack has a few tracks that could go right along this
@@raurmanproductions3438 you must be a joy to be around at parties.. if you even get invited to those.
As a normal human who definitely isnât from space, I appreciate the vibrational frequencies created by the interaction of touch stumps and entwined metallic strands.
Ah yes, a fellow human, certainly not a Zognoid.
Greetings fellow human
Shall we continue with our normal human activities?
Do these activities include...maidens? As they say? We must ensure we are not maidenless when doing human activities.
WE MAKING IT OUTTA TIMBER HEARTH WITH THIS ONE BOYS ðĨ ðĨ ðĨ
Perhaps I'll be a highwayman once again
"space banjo" isn't a genre I knew needed to exist until you made it. Now it seems like it should always be. Awesome!
Check out the old Space Cowboy show.
To the Eye of the Universe and back we go.
This should be categorized as ASMR: wanderer plays banjo while the void calls into his soul with a cosmic yearning.
âWeâre goinâ to the stars, boah.â
"See you, space cowboy..." ððž
Ah, a fellow Outer Wilds Venturer. Masterful work.
Remember to stop and smell the pine trees.
Gonna need a 10 hour version, boss. Please and thank you.
This music gives me Firefly/Serenity Vibes, there ain't nothin in the Verse that can stop the vibes and I aim to misbehave.
Launched me back to my firefly days wow lol
THIS is what the Firefly soundtrack should have sounded like.
playing starfield to this right now. the vibe is perfect. as someone who grew up in Appalachia, well done.
Starfield sadly didn't have a radio. And this song fits perfectly for the Akila wilds!
Freestar rangers sends their regards
@@knightofthenine5142 You just gave me a great idea for a mod.
â@JavierGomezX cool, glad I could strike some inspiration. If it comes to fruition lemme know what it is so I can check it out!
We need to have a banjo in the game, or to be able to give one to VASCO.
I haven't played my banjo since I bought starfield XD
ð they canât take the sky from me-Fireflyð
this is the soundtrack of my personality
I would play this when space-trucking.
Anyone else here for the outerwilds vibes?
Hell yea
YEASSSSSSSS
just sitting here watching over my colony on rimworld chilling watching the crops grow, kids play, traders trading this is nice
Based rimwold enjoyer
Spent yesterday evening out on the front lawn with the dogs. I sank deeper into my lawn chair as the night closed in and with this wonderful arrangement playing in the background, we watched for hours at the Taurids occasionally streaked across the sky.
Firefly vibes.
This has some Firefly vibes going on.
Inspired by Outer Wilds soundtrack? Sounds good to me. Subscribed. ð
100%
ð@@SpaceBanjoMusic
@@SpaceBanjoMusic hell yeah
My immediate thought as well. That image is pure realistic OW.
These songs have been around for generations, so no it's not inspired by Outer Wilds ð
"Firefly", "Hardspace: Shipbreaker", "Outer Wilds" vibe (Last two are video games, I reccommend from the bottom of my heart)...
Wish I could find more music similar to Hardspace and Firefly. It's hard to find that western folk/americana vibe they nailed, so much so that they pretty much made their own genre.
_And his music was electric._
When I'm grieving my father's death (he passed away back in July of 2022) I listen to this... he used to play (love *anything* played on the banjo) and... well it just helps a little bit...
It could be argued that the origin of this genre was the 1978 BBC Radio science fiction series The, Hitchhiker's Guide To The Galaxy. The theme tune fused banjo and synth in a sci-fi space travel theme.
It was a cover of a song by the Eagles. Journey of the Sorceror. The HGG version basically just replaced the strings with synth.
Occasionally I run RPGs based on Firefly and The Expanse. Wild west in space, basically. This will be great for ambient music to play during our sessions .
I play this while I'm on Starfield. It's a perfect fit.
Hits me right in the Firefly feels
I was looking for this
You can't take the sky from me.
the fact this works so well in Akila city is insane to me. the timing on the drop of this music to starfield is amazing.
I have this playing on loop in the background while I play Starfield and Space Engineers. Love it
Might I also suggest the soundtrack/OST to Hardspace Shipbreaker? More guitar than banjo admittedly, but same ethos.
It's definitely a great OST to listen to as well :) @@theeutecticpoint
If you haven't already, try out The Outer Wilds (not Outer Worlds), "space banjo" is basically the entire musical theme
Outer Wilds vibes
I can play this in the background as I play Starfield!!
This type of space cowboy stuff has always appealed to me and I can't really explain why. Thank you.
To me the answer for that is because cowboys were prevalent on the frontier and stuff, but space... it's the final frontier. thus spoke zarathustra
the stars are the next frontier void of law and "civilized" folk
In a sense, the stars also connect to unnumbered other frontiers. Worlds that either may be inhabitable or, if we have the technology to reach them, that we may have the technology to terraform them to be inhabitable.
Cuz 'yer a Merican
My favorite genre of music is now Cosmic Bluegrass
No Space without a Banjo.
Almost devine this is.
Serious Firefly vibes here
My dad and one of his brothers learned to play the dulcimer and banjo riding the rods during the Great Depression. They were both mean pickers in their own right and if they were still alive today they would take great pleasure in listening to this cosmic mix. I am going to add this to my daily mix of music I listen to. Take a bow @timbrzeal, take a bow. You have earned it.
This makes me want to put on a brown coat and herd some cattle onto my Firefly class transport.
Works fantastic for the stories/characters I write set in the Fallout universe.
Am I the only one who thinks that old folksy culture or old west culture fits incredibly well with the space explorer aesthetic
You are not alone :)
Definitely outer wilds vibes and im all for it.
Thereâs few music genres I havenât heard of so far in my lifeâĶwhen I saw this as the top hit on my feed I couldnât help but laugh and click it.
Itâs so out there one could say itâs almost intergalactic. Thanks to whomever found this.
cosmic folk tunes go unbelievably hard
Some of my favorite music to play Starsector as a salvager/trader/surveyor. Got a crew, got a fleet, get flying.
Excellent music to play satisfactory to.
Strong Firefly vibes, I can dig it
I can't believe I had to scroll this far down to find someone else that first thought of Firefly. The kids just don't know.
@@manaze85 Right? I was expecting it to be top comment but i guess it's a new generation. . .
This should be called Folkwave, for ambient folkmusic.
This came up while playing Factorio and it fits the vibe extremely well.
I can also see listening to this playing Kenshi.
Best one yet
Sounds like Red Dead Redemption 2 Ambience. Thank you for sharing.
IN SPACE!!! ð
Indestructable Sam
And his music was electricâĶ
I wanted outterworlds banjo vibe (what a game that was) while playing NMS, this nails it big time
Well never thought this is what I needed, but yeah I think this is! No getting around it, once you start colonizing the stars, gonna be some hill folk with a banjo out there.
The hill folk are the original colonizers after the third generation of martians
3 of my favourite thing's : ambient music, sci fi & banjo. All coming in one package, I can't ask for more.
As a game developer my first thought hearing this is that, I would absolutely love to put something like this in one of my video games.
Having this on while playing deep rock galactic immediately changes the whole feel of the game. Love it
ROCK AND STONE! ðŧ
@daomushin7070 if you rock and stone, you're never alone!
Reminds me of Phalanx. SNES-era shmup game. Western cover had a old man playing a banjo set to a starry sky.
One of the most off topic and confusing video game covers ever!
did not expect this mix, let alone for it to sound amazing.
I see that Riebecks been practising a lot with some new tunes! I'm so glad for him
No one has said it before, so I'll start this off: This reminds me of Rimworld and it is glorious.
Agreed.
this is instantly my favorite playlist ever. omg.
Good soundtrack for the Firefly reboot
Lovely claw hammer playing.
Thank you
Okay, so I need more Banjo in my life. This is freaking epic.
Very Outer Wilds, love it
The adoring fan would approve.
"Well, um, this is Brittle Hollow. But you probably knew that. Lots of history here. ...Itâs great.â
Never knew I needed this until I heard it. Instantly love it. Would be great for sitting by the fire out in the desert or in an opening in the trees on a mountain.
reminds me of the music form snowrunner, it gives that same feeling of emptiness and loneliness that just hits different
I have to say, my benchmark for that is still the Minecraft soundtrack.
@@MegaSockenschuss minecrafts tracks are piano/keyboard done electronically (and with electronic tones), while snowrunner uses primarily more string instruments + keyboard, all instrumental, and also uses licensed songs (for the gas station radios). both soundtracks have that same feeling of loneliness, mainly because of the rythm and use of minor notes. I always felt string instruments (specifically acoustic guitar, and acoustic bass when played in minor notes paired with keyboard) conveyed a sense of loneliness better than piano/keyboard alone. just my opinion tho, I enjoy snowrunners better because there is much more variety (there are 7-8 different tracks per region (there are over 10 regions) that cycle when playing, gas station tracks--35 of them-- and main menu tracks that also cycle along with special sfx when completing missions/tasks) total track count is something like 150 ish, and it reflects on the region (russian regions will have roots in Russian folk/country music, while American regions have more american folk/country music)
and since this uses primarily a banjo with ambiance, I thought of snowrunner (which uses string instruments) compared to minecraft (which only uses piano/keyboard) the snowrunner ambiance also gives that same loneliness sense that the music from The Last of Us gives.
When the Western frontier was no longer good enough, the cowboy looked to a new horizon.
Just so you know imma be playing this while playing Starfield from now on. Sounds great ngl.
if anyone is looking for games that capture some of the feel of this music, Hardspace Shipbreaker features this sort of music for background, and Outer Wilds really embodies the "campfire on a distant planet." vibe of this.
We finally relating more the outer wilds space music style to space songs!!!!! this is great
Space is like a sci fi wild west, the emptiness reflects the emptiness of the great plains in macro scale. So in a way, this isn't a juxtaposition of opposites at all. The Frontier is still the Frontier, no matter how much air there is or what your wagon runs on.
Love it. âTakes the edge off of warp transition sickness.
I ain't crazy about no AI-made pictures on a good day... but you frail a fair banjo, sir. Can't find no fault in that.
Take care out there on the Lanes. 'Verse is a whole nest of crazy these days.
As a Banjo plunker myself- I am HIGHLY OFFENDED you dont have the Astral-celestial Hobo-rambler on a T-SHIRT! Get some merch going man- great design and I would love to get one!
Haha working on it!! Hang tight!
man, I didn't think people would be introduced to clawhammer like this, but it works!
