Thank you so much Space Banjo for making this incredible work of art.
I am a trucker and I love listening to your music. It helps when I am on them long hauls working from dawn till dusk.
Let me tell you friend, OTR trucking will change you as a person. I tell my family all of the time that there is a real connection to the earth that you gain when you come out here.
A new feeling, a new way of life, just man on his own crossing the nation surviving only by his skill, wits and determination to see tomorrow.
I am Free.
That's awesome. I'm happy for you brother. I imagine long days like that give you time to find out what you're made of, and what's at your core. Connection to the earth is real for those who seek it, and you won't find it through drama or a screen. Thank you for sharing. Safe travels.
@@SpaceBanjoMusic You find out pretty quickly that's for sure and with all of this time to think through your life you gain a real inner peace.
Did you know there is a statue of liberty in PA that sits in a river between two mountains?
It's stuff like that you discover which makes you go "Oh Wow!" and that happens quite a lot out here. I'm the first in my family to cross the Mississippi river, see the Rio Grande, Scale the mountains of West Virginia, See the sun set over Lake Ontario, wave to Amish folk in Wisconsin and see the corn fields of Oklahoma grow with that beautiful big blue sky in fresh Spring.
Thank you for the kind words and I'll have your music going with the windows down while I chase the sun.
Be at peace and stay safe. 👍

Towel in my hand, fish in my ear, thumb in the air; I’m ready to go hitchhiking the galaxy!

Reserved seating for the Restaurant at the End of the Universe. Bless you.
Holy shit I put this on as background music to read exactly that book!
You are one Hoopy Frood!
For anyone wondering, the HHGTTG theme is called "Journey of the Sorcerer," and it's by The Eagles. Yes, *those* Eagles!
"Take my love, take my land, take me to where I cannot stand. I don't care, I'm still free, you can't take the sky from me."
The hitchhikers guide the the galaxy vibes are so real with this, so good!
Mal would throw a hitchhiker right off the Firefly...
Never liked him.
Wait kevduit? Huh that’s an odd one lol.
Just meant I didn’t expect the psychopath to be here of all places
/jk
Ayy Kev
and this is interesting
I love how space music predominantly comes in three flavours: electronic synth, earthy orchestra, and YEEHAW
🤔🧐😏🫨😂🤣🤣🤣🤣
You should have a look at psychedelic/space rock cause there's four. If we're saying earthy orchestra is one of the predominant flavours that is, which I'd agree with.
haha!
Makes me think of "The Outer Wilds", this is great!
just casually one of the best games ever
I agree. A former student of mine actually composed the soundtrack to that game. He won an award for it.
@@kostasgalanis4589 I am going through the game again as we speak and..its not the most flushed out game combat/story building but it's world is bright with potential..easy 7/10 and fun.
@@DarkMustard1337 I think you are talking about outer worlds... That's a different game, because the outer wilds doesn't have any combat
@@DarkMustard1337 Wrong game, two completely different genre's, as well as Outer Wilds being a phenomenal game, whereas Outer WORLDS is the epitome of a mid video game.
🤣😂 seeing somebody in a spacesuit playing a banjo is probably the most human thing I've ever heard. It's like you can take us to the stars but you can't take the Earthling out of us, lol ✊
Firefly vibes, I dig it.
#Browncoats4ever
Take my love, take my land,
Take me where I cannot stand....
@@TheDefaultgameerI’m still free you can’t take the sky from me
Better actually.
I was going to say it reminds me a lot of a game called Hardspace: Ship Breaker. Which, in turn, reminds me a lot of Firefly
I love the reverb, because in space no one hears you scream, but everyone hears you pick a banjo. :)
2 Songs, played in a loop. Style is "Clawhammer"/"Old-Timey" played on a 5-string banjo in Sawmill tuning.
1. Little Sadie 0:00 - 1:03
2. The Cuckoo 1:04 - 2:45
😳
+ (also: THANKS!)
Kept recognizing the melody but couldnt place it. Then I remembered "remember that night you shot Sadie down?" and it clicked.
Thank you so much!
I thought I recognized the cuckoo
It's crazy that such an OLD form of music fits perfectly in a future scifi world.
With guns, vast territories and lot lot of loot.
The banjo is an instrument that perfectly conveys the feeling of being alone in an uncharted frontier, with its hidden dangers and hidden beauties. Perfectly represented by its "high and lonesome" sound, through which even cheerful music always has a feeling of bitter homesickness.
Some things tap into realities and truths of the human condition. And the truth is, to borrow a phrase, "Space is long and dark and empty, quite a ways 'tween friend and friend..."
Frontier music has a certain sound to it, because it resonates with those feelings evoked by frontier living. It's part of why the 'space western' works so much as a style of fiction.
@@CMacK1294as a kid I grew upon a reservation, 35 miles one way an 50 the other to the next town(35) and city(50). Working out away from everything, vast open flat lands to high mountain pines. Sometimes no one around for days or weeks at a time. This music hits home in a very painful an loving way
Because it's not about when the music came from it's about what it's trying to convey. That, in this case is unknown. Back then it was the wild West. But as we advance we now look to the stars with that same feeling
As an eastern Kentucky hillbilly who loves space, I approve. If we ever get to interact with intelligent life from who-knows-where, they must know of the banjo. Hell, even playing the banjo alone on some desolate planet WAY over yonder where no one will ever likely visit again would be satisfying in its own way.
Have you played the game Outer Wilds? If not, I recommend it, or at least the sound track!
tbh this is a vibe
There is something magical about a concert with no audience, just creativity for creativity's sake. No one will ever hear it but the one playing it, but that's ok because it makes it special.
Can I just ask, you don't deny moon landings, do understand science, not a Bible preaching?
@@DrumToTheBassWoopwhy not both? Lol
My vehicle is my ship. The roads are my space lanes. When out in the black, I like to play these tunes. When I'm all alone, and it's just me and the yoke. Gives a real "Firefly" feel.
Find a crew.
Find a job.
Keep flying.
be seeing you space cowboy
This is way better than the music in ‘Firefly.’
I always thought that music made it too campy/cheesy - it sounded like royalty free country/bluegrass music.
I mean, I know it was a show meant not to be taken too seriously, and it was, certainly, a unique concept.
However, honestly, I found that to be quite a frustrating part, of the show - the music.
This woulda faired way better, for that show.
@XOChristianaNicole I really like the album version of "Mal's Song", and I may catch hell for it but I still love "The Hero of Canton" lol. Otherwise, I agree, I think this sort of music would have worked better in a lot of the show. Alas. Glad to meet another browncoat. We may have fought for the losing side...still not convinced it was the wrong one.
A genre I didn't know I needed. Reminds of of my brother. Lost him a few years back. He is out there somewhere playing a banjo and swaying.
He's playing with best now.🪕🕊️
I mean, it's just a country/folk banjo with reverb.
i hear ya mate, def wierd that this is consiered a genre@@raurmanproductions3438
Hardspace soundtrack has a few tracks that could go right along this
@@raurmanproductions3438 you must be a joy to be around at parties.. if you even get invited to those.
Maybe not chillwave but I think you're onto something else here. Ambient Space Banjo should definitely be a category in its own right. There's something about the subtle ambient effects that hits different than just the banjo. I might be the furthest thing from an Appalachian as a Sicilian but this is fantastic
I had another person mention that this isn't chillwave. I believe I need to remove it from the title. Thank you for this thoughtful response and positivity!
BanjoWave? OldTimeyWave? AppalachiaWave?
@@SpaceBanjoMusicI'm actually glad you haven't removed it from the title, at least not for this one. I would not have clicked it otherwise, and I actually *really* enjoy this. It just like, hits the spot.
Well, that, and the thumbnail was super enticing, ngl
Appalachia is quite the range. Spent some time at a music camp with a lot of well known folk and bluegrass artists in that range once. Could hear the fiddles and banjos and guitars through the mountains, was magnificent.
went to a bluegrass festival near Elkader Iowa this summer and one of the bands had an echo pedal on their banjo and were doing some seriously awesome Space Banjo! I would love to hear more of that!
Some things throughout history just match each other you know? Like banjos and the country side, blues guitars and the city, bagpipes and reeds for Ireland and Scotland coasts...but I never would've thought a banjo with some reverb could fit the complete emptiness of space so perfectly. If mankind ever does get past the Great Filter and does go to space colonization, it's the Wild West all over again, small people once again in a massive massive unexplored frontier.
I'm sure the jerks currently doing their level best to ruin everything right will try to prevent that as best they can.
if you like this, try search "hitchikers guide through the galaxy" (the new movie) "intro theme". it just starts with a space banjo and then gets epic. maybe you like it.
@@gyrrakavian ?
#Firefly
that and think about how many times someone has played a banjo next to a campfire looking up at the night sky. It just goes with it.
This music gives me Firefly/Serenity Vibes, there ain't nothin in the Verse that can stop the vibes and I aim to misbehave.
"space banjo" isn't a genre I knew needed to exist until you made it. Now it seems like it should always be. Awesome!
Check out the old Space Cowboy show.
As a normal human who definitely isn’t from space, I appreciate the vibrational frequencies created by the interaction of touch stumps and entwined metallic strands.
Ah yes, a fellow human, certainly not a Zognoid.
Greetings fellow human
Shall we continue with our normal human activities?
Do these activities include...maidens? As they say? We must ensure we are not maidenless when doing human activities.
Gonna need a 10 hour version, boss. Please and thank you.
Ah, a fellow Outer Wilds Venturer. Masterful work.
Remember to stop and smell the pine trees.
WE MAKING IT OUTTA TIMBER HEARTH WITH THIS ONE BOYS 🔥 🔥 🔥
When we eventually land on Mars, someone had better bring a banjo or else I will be severely disappointed in the entire Human race.
You should be the one, you can do it!
Acurate
I'm quiet sure There would be one @ The Mars Hotel 😉
Good call. Let's build rapport with and serenade the Martians. They'll dig
Spent yesterday evening out on the front lawn with the dogs. I sank deeper into my lawn chair as the night closed in and with this wonderful arrangement playing in the background, we watched for hours at the Taurids occasionally streaked across the sky.
playing starfield to this right now. the vibe is perfect. as someone who grew up in Appalachia, well done.
Starfield sadly didn't have a radio. And this song fits perfectly for the Akila wilds!
Freestar rangers sends their regards
@@knightofthenine5142 You just gave me a great idea for a mod.
@JavierGomezX cool, glad I could strike some inspiration. If it comes to fruition lemme know what it is so I can check it out!
We need to have a banjo in the game, or to be able to give one to VASCO.
I haven't played my banjo since I bought starfield XD
“Dutch we don’t need more space gold!”
“I have a plan Arthur.”
This should be categorized as ASMR: wanderer plays banjo while the void calls into his soul with a cosmic yearning.
"We do not have much connection, you and I. Still, this encounter feels special. I hope you won't mind if I think of you as a friend."
Launched me back to my firefly days wow lol
To the Eye of the Universe and back we go.
the fact this works so well in Akila city is insane to me. the timing on the drop of this music to starfield is amazing.
I have this playing on loop in the background while I play Starfield and Space Engineers. Love it
Might I also suggest the soundtrack/OST to Hardspace Shipbreaker? More guitar than banjo admittedly, but same ethos.
It's definitely a great OST to listen to as well :) @@theeutecticpoint
If you haven't already, try out The Outer Wilds (not Outer Worlds), "space banjo" is basically the entire musical theme
"See you, space cowboy..." 👉🏼
It could be argued that the origin of this genre was the 1978 BBC Radio science fiction series The, Hitchhiker's Guide To The Galaxy. The theme tune fused banjo and synth in a sci-fi space travel theme.
It was a cover of a song by the Eagles. Journey of the Sorceror. The HGG version basically just replaced the strings with synth.
Hits me right in the Firefly feels
I was looking for this
You can't take the sky from me.
Sitting on my front stoop in an Adirondack, sipping coffee, sampling a slice of rhubarb apple pie, and smoking a Marlie, enjoying these haunting dulcet tunes.
There’s few music genres I haven’t heard of so far in my life…when I saw this as the top hit on my feed I couldn’t help but laugh and click it.
It’s so out there one could say it’s almost intergalactic. Thanks to whomever found this.
My dad and one of his brothers learned to play the dulcimer and banjo riding the rods during the Great Depression. They were both mean pickers in their own right and if they were still alive today they would take great pleasure in listening to this cosmic mix. I am going to add this to my daily mix of music I listen to. Take a bow @timbrzeal, take a bow. You have earned it.
🍂 they can’t take the sky from me-Firefly🍂
I ain't crazy about no AI-made pictures on a good day... but you frail a fair banjo, sir. Can't find no fault in that.
Take care out there on the Lanes. 'Verse is a whole nest of crazy these days.
THIS is what the Firefly soundtrack should have sounded like.
Space is like a sci fi wild west, the emptiness reflects the emptiness of the great plains in macro scale. So in a way, this isn't a juxtaposition of opposites at all. The Frontier is still the Frontier, no matter how much air there is or what your wagon runs on.
"Firefly", "Hardspace: Shipbreaker", "Outer Wilds" vibe (Last two are video games, I reccommend from the bottom of my heart)...
Wish I could find more music similar to Hardspace and Firefly. It's hard to find that western folk/americana vibe they nailed, so much so that they pretty much made their own genre.
Some of my favorite music to play Starsector as a salvager/trader/surveyor. Got a crew, got a fleet, get flying.
Definitely outer wilds vibes and im all for it.
Okay, so I need more Banjo in my life. This is freaking epic.
As a game developer my first thought hearing this is that, I would absolutely love to put something like this in one of my video games.
man, I didn't think people would be introduced to clawhammer like this, but it works!
Having this on while playing deep rock galactic immediately changes the whole feel of the game. Love it
ROCK AND STONE! 🍻
@daomushin7070 if you rock and stone, you're never alone!
This has some Firefly vibes going on.
Returning again tonight, me and my German Shepherd, to this comfort music to soothe us to sleep.
I would play this when space-trucking.
Never knew I needed this until I heard it. Instantly love it. Would be great for sitting by the fire out in the desert or in an opening in the trees on a mountain.
“We’re goin’ to the stars, boah.”
I play this while I'm on Starfield. It's a perfect fit.
When I'm grieving my father's death (he passed away back in July of 2022) I listen to this... he used to play (love *anything* played on the banjo) and... well it just helps a little bit...
just sitting here watching over my colony on rimworld chilling watching the crops grow, kids play, traders trading this is nice
Based rimwold enjoyer
This type of space cowboy stuff has always appealed to me and I can't really explain why. Thank you.
To me the answer for that is because cowboys were prevalent on the frontier and stuff, but space... it's the final frontier. thus spoke zarathustra
the stars are the next frontier void of law and "civilized" folk
In a sense, the stars also connect to unnumbered other frontiers. Worlds that either may be inhabitable or, if we have the technology to reach them, that we may have the technology to terraform them to be inhabitable.
Cuz 'yer a Merican
This makes me want to put on a brown coat and herd some cattle onto my Firefly class transport.
this is instantly my favorite playlist ever. omg.
Inspired by Outer Wilds soundtrack? Sounds good to me. Subscribed. 😋
100%
😉@@SpaceBanjoMusic
@@SpaceBanjoMusic hell yeah
My immediate thought as well. That image is pure realistic OW.
These songs have been around for generations, so no it's not inspired by Outer Wilds 🙄
this is the soundtrack of my personality
Didn't realise this was a genre I was familiar with till this video. Firefly, Outer Wilds, Hitchhiker's Guide. Love it all.
I just had a wicked flashback to early 2000's Firefly vibes with this. Keep up the good work!
Been listening to this as I write my 40k stories about my Appalachian themed guardsmen. Good stuff and reminds me of my home.
Perhaps I'll be a highwayman once again
Firefly vibes.
Occasionally I run RPGs based on Firefly and The Expanse. Wild west in space, basically. This will be great for ambient music to play during our sessions .
We finally relating more the outer wilds space music style to space songs!!!!! this is great
I can play this in the background as I play Starfield!!
This came up while playing Factorio and it fits the vibe extremely well.
I can also see listening to this playing Kenshi.
3 of my favourite thing's : ambient music, sci fi & banjo. All coming in one package, I can't ask for more.
Well never thought this is what I needed, but yeah I think this is! No getting around it, once you start colonizing the stars, gonna be some hill folk with a banjo out there.
The hill folk are the original colonizers after the third generation of martians
Everything is shiny Capin, we got the best ship in the Verse, and we aim to misbehave...You can burn the land and boil the sea, but you can't take the sky from me...🚀🤠
No Space without a Banjo.
Almost devine this is.
Didn’t know I wanted this but here I am. You can’t take the sky from me.
I knew there was a void in my heart for this exact music. And here it is!
When you make your ship out of nothing but Hopetech
Love it. ‘Takes the edge off of warp transition sickness.
cosmic folk tunes go unbelievably hard
I knew the banjo and other "folk" instruments had more range and variability now that there are digital tools, but I didn't expect to enjoy it this much. The theme of space cowboy really hits home as a fun bit to imagine. Its very compelling.
I wanted outterworlds banjo vibe (what a game that was) while playing NMS, this nails it big time
I see that Riebecks been practising a lot with some new tunes! I'm so glad for him
Works fantastic for the stories/characters I write set in the Fallout universe.
if anyone is looking for games that capture some of the feel of this music, Hardspace Shipbreaker features this sort of music for background, and Outer Wilds really embodies the "campfire on a distant planet." vibe of this.
Am I the only one who thinks that old folksy culture or old west culture fits incredibly well with the space explorer aesthetic
You are not alone :)
Serious Firefly vibes here
This is my Satisfactory soundtrack.
It makes me feel like a hard-scrabble offworld drifter, building the frontier one conveyor and pipeline at a time.
I didn't know that I needed this, but oh did I need some Ambient Chillwave Banjo in Space. Thank you.
i never knew i needed this in my life but here we are now and i love it....
There's just something about banjo music that suits space, something about a place so empty, a frontier that will never truly be tamed, that fits the same sort of aesthetic as the same wild frontiers we associate with the instrument. Places we thought would never be fully explored, a time when the world seemed far far larger.
As a wonderfully fun book once said
"Space," it says, "is big. Really big. You just won't believe how vastly, hugely, mindbogglingly big it is. I mean, you may think it's a long way down the road to the chemist, but that's just peanuts to space."
Makes me feel like a spacer.
I kick back in my chair, whip out the banjo, and start playing. It's another cargo run to Titan, a long and boring trip. It's a quiet way of life, but at least the stars are beautiful.
Outer Wilds vibes
Love it.
Im a big fan of Space Western and this fits very well in my wheelhouse of background music.
As others already said, banjo works very well for space games/ambient but so does most Americana/Western inspired music.
The fact that Space often is represented as a new frontier with alot of western tropes makes it a perfect fit.
Good jod :)
_And his music was electric._
Certified Outer Wilds Riebeck moment.
Very Outer Wilds, love it
Sounds like Red Dead Redemption 2 Ambience. Thank you for sharing.
IN SPACE!!! 😜
I’ve been looking for this. For decades…. HHG vibes for sleep. Owe you one!
Listening to this music while playing The Long Dark's is truly an experience everyone should have at least once! Mesmerizing.
