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.

Canticle Station - new five-track collection on Aucourant Records
The new album Canticle Station is a suite of five tracks by composer Philip Schuessler. This collection, just released on Eclipse Day on Aucourant Records, consists of dark, ambient music with ethereal synth textures and expansive forms inspired in part by the composer鈥檚 Gulf South environment where his home studio is based. The five tracks together create a loose narrative on a mythology of the elements. The outer and middle pieces explore aspects of water, earth, and air respectively, while the inner pieces conjure ideas about life beyond our planet. The music was composed using a variety of software synths and modular analog synths. As a composer, Schuessler works in the realm of acoustic chamber music as well as electronic music. He is motivated by such artists as Robert Rich, Tangerine Dream, Grateful Dead, Gerard Grisey, and Morton Feldman. His primary compositional interests lies in exploring the inner life of sounds, sometimes through rigorous procedures and other times through more intuitive approaches.
Canticle Station was mixed by the composer and mastered by Aucourant Media Services. Digital downloads are available now on Bandcamp through the composer鈥檚 and the record label鈥檚 site. If you enjoy this music, please support it on Bandcamp! It will be available on streaming services beginning May 12th.
