Sounds of Space - COUNTDOWN Minus 3: Space Music

COUNTDOWN Minus 3: Space Music

01/01/22 • 24 min

Sounds of Space

What is Space Music?

Greetings. I’m Chris Bass a music producer and renowned Spaceologist and I’m here to explore that very question.

This ‘prequel’ introductory episode Countdown: Minus 3 breaks down the motivations and purpose of the S.O.S. project as we count down to the launch in Episode Zero.

Whether you’re a music lover, space-fanatic, musician or producer or just need a new creative perspective blast off with me on a fantastic journey as we explore the musical universe of artists who sonically evoke Outer Space and Sci-Fi Futurism in popular music with SOUND.

From 1950s Cosmic Jazz to Spacey Techno, from Sun Ra to Sunset, the Sounds of Space podcast is part of a Masters exegesis, that seeks to identify the sonic language of Space Music. Music lovers of all kinds will find something worthwhile.

Each episode finishes with a music track. This time it’s ‘Gumble the Dog’ by Capital F - from my first ever commercial release in 1991. It’s a stupid tale of a dog that gets adopted by aliens...and if you listen in, I’ll explain why it isn’t actually ‘Space Music’.

COUNTDOWN Minus 2: Hidden in the Subfrequency Pt. 1

Greetings. I’m Chris Bass a music producer and renowned Spaceologist and this is my life in Music - Hidden in the Subfrequency part one.

This ‘prequel’ introductory episode, Countdown: Minus 2 gives the background dirt on ME, the host of the S.O.S. project as we count down to the launch in Episode Zero.

I discuss early influences, trying to make it with my own punk-funk band Capital F, my first hip-hop crew 9th Circle, the few months I spent on stage with mega-star SIA in her early acid jazz group Crisp, my time as a bassist in a live version of Australia's most successful hip-hop crew the Hilltop Hoods, rocking out with Post-metal Space-rock group Chimera9 and how I got to cut a track with the head of the Acid Jazz label.
Were you alive in the year 2000? I was and everything I did as a musical youth leading up to Blahmageddan and the 'not-quite-end-of-the-world' is covered here.

Each episode finishes with a music track. This time it’s space rock epic ‘F.F.F.’ by Chimera9 .
