What is space music?
Taken/edited from the last.fm Space Music group:
Defining 'space music' is nearly impossible because composers and engineers in many different genres of music have used this term to define their creations.
In its most recognized form, space music utilizes deep, floating synths and waves of alien chord progressions, which may be accompanied by echoing rhythmic textures or airy, choir-like synth tones. Vocals are rarely incorporated, but distant (often indistinct) voices can sometimes be heard.
Space music has expanded over the years, infiltrating and influencing many musical styles since its earliest incarnation. Elements of space music can be heard in new age, world, jazz, ambient, and electronic music, psychedelic rock, even video game and movie soundtracks. It is considered by some to be a sub-genre of electronic ambient music.
Selecting criteria to categorize a piece as space music in this subreddit would be pointless. For some, it's about immersion in the space outside and inside of ourselves, while others ask the more literal question: Does it sound like outer space? In the end, space music is simply about imagination and exploration of extraordinary soundscapes.
Any interpretation of space music is welcome here, as long as their compositions retain the essential nature and spirit of space music.

Epic sci-fi music series: Symphony of Cosmic Tides
Hey Redditors,
I just found this project called Symphony of Cosmic Tides, and I think you'll love it. It's like Mass Effect meets The Lord of the Rings, but in space and set to a symphonic sound. It's an epic, endless music space opera that combines lush, narrative-driven lyrics with sci-fi world-building. 🌌🎶The story starts with the human race's journey to a mysterious planet called Veridia, guided by "Distant Stars" on season 1 called "Arrival on Veridia". It's about exploration, wonder, and forging new destinies.The narrative deepens with tracks like "The Norai Code" and "Building Trust," exploring themes of cultural exchange, ancient wisdom, and unity amidst diversity.
The third season, called "First Encounters and Misunderstandings," is currently airing, and it's like a space opera in musical form.
I'm curious to know if anyone else has heard this.
