Apollo 11 – Looking back to ’69

Apollo 11 lunar module

You might remember a sampler of this track from last summer. It was very short and soon after I realized the voices needed EQ and noise filtering. Working on that lead to a whole bunch of other things I wanted to modify and improve. And I imagine in a few months I’ll feel the same way, all over again.

Here’s the blurb at SoundCloud… The Apollo moon landing soundtrack set to original score… trying to capture the ethos of ’69 when the word “computer” was synonymous with “IBM,” conjuring up images of massive reel to reel machines lining the walls of large office spaces. I’ve tried to stick to the sound of that era… sorta tight and linear, with an optimistic view toward an uncertain future.
