It’s the tempo of space oddity. Really pulls everything down and opens up space.

Yes bros, Bowie knew how to explore his world (space) with fantastic musicians. The epic Blackstar, says a lot of is talent to compose with life and it’s finality.

A great big miss in our music world. Great homage you did to Bowie.

Thanks Kara. I feel it in my heart. It came out a bit more sad than I had intended, but it’s been sad month so far. In the air I guess.

Thanks CSoul. If we are all waves or vibrations, then maybe he is hearing these tones mixed in with the voice of the world paying tribute to his talent. We won’t know until we get there. We still have some songs to play!

I didn’t dare to listen to this until just now — to allow a bit of additional temporal distance. And of course I’m only writing this, because your remix spoke to me. And its melancholy nature isn’t entirely inappropriate - also in the context of some of Ziggie’s work - there were many melancholic undertones in his music.

Mortality bites. Fortunately music can stick around much longer than any of us. And that’s kind of cool.

Side note: Found the fragility of the acoustic contrasted by the strength of the electric serving as fitting musical symbolism for maybe not only our human existence, but maybe even all of life: Very fragile, yet also so incredibly strong and tough.

The mix took on a feel of it’s own, and I am honored to know it struck a chord with you. Life is fragile, and tough. Music helps balance those extremes and bring us closer to our hearts. Thanks for listening!

I found myself unable to ask a question about the music, so I used the review option. If anyone knows how to ask a question, let me know.

I like the music and applaud the musician for it, but I am in doubt if it is useful as it borrows from Space Oddity. I wonder if anyone knows if that flies with youtube? If that is not the case, it is nice but useless as any movie or other project will get flagged. Perhaps a fair warning would then be nice.

I’m a huge Bowie fan, been in mourning / celebration the past couple of months. I was on ccMixter looking for music for a video project and saw this. I can’t use it for my project, wrong mood, but just wanted to stop and say I really like what you did here. I recommended it to some friends of mine. It’s dreamy.
