Story behind the song
Sometimes I see a picture, or a quote, and music starts playing in my head. The picture, is the one in the song info, with Carl Sagan's quote. Adaptation of the music from Contact - Awful Waste of Space - by Alan Silvestri. This recording expands on the 1:42 arrangement from the movie, borrowing the main theme for intro and outro, with my additions in the mid section. All parts played on my Fishman TriplePlay wireless guitar synth, using SampleTank3 VSTI software.

I echo the others words, this is fantastic Michael. A doc about space and this would be right at home. Very, very good indeed.

I like the theme and what a great soundscape you've adapted from Silvestri. The Fishman sounds are amazing - superb in all respects!!!
