Spelljammer - fantasy / sci-fi atmosphere

"The Astral Sea stretches out like a disk of polished silver, shining with the light of uncountable stars, forming a pattern that is somehow at once ordered and utterly random. It glitters against the blackness of space like a vast frozen lake. The air is breathable, but despite the chill of the void, it still manages to stir the hairs on your arms and neck. Behind you, the moons of the Outer Planes follow their eternal orbits."

Hey folks!

It would be nice to think that I wrote this track in the 30 minutes since Bard tier supporter Ryan asked for a Spelljammer inspired track, but that would force me to reveal my ancient powers granted from beyond the Astral Sea, so instead I'll tell you that I actually wrote this track a few weeks ago and am very excited to finally share it with you all!

This track combines elements of fantasy, sci-fi, and seafaring sounds to evoke the feeling of travelling through the mysterious of the outer planes aboard an air ship. It's a rare day when I get to combine a fiddle with a synth bass and an orchestral pad, but here we are! I hope you all enjoy listening

Alternate Tracks

Bard tier supporters have three alternates to use in their games. All three of these alternate versions aim to focus the track more distinctly in one genre, making them useable in more situations than just inter-planer sailing!

• No synth pulse: This one takes some of the edge off, lessening the sci-fi vibes and calming the entire track down
• No fiddle: What could drive you to do such a terrible thing as to listen to this track without a fiddle? Well, perhaps you want to use this track in a purely sci-fi setting, or the ethereal fiddle just doesn't fit with the scene you're trying to tell
• Ambient: Fiddle, synth pulse, and most other rhythmic elements have been removed from this version for a purely ambient soundscape vibe.

Previews of these versions are attached to this post so anyone can have a listen and decide if they'd like to up to the Bard tier to download the full versions.
