Well, this cosmic series is pretty special Bruce... love the panning in the soundscape, the rich depth of the production and the wackiness of the different dance styles.. delightful!

Incredibly imaginative and clever composition Bruce!👍👍

Thank you very much for this wonderful composition, greetings from Spain

Delightful sounds, melodies and orchestration!

Another fantastic themed playlist Bruce. I love all three. Definitely get the sense of a graceful dance in space on this one.

Cosmic Danse – Waltz of the Asteroids

Special thanks to John-Marc Ventimiglia https://soundcloud.com/john-marc-ventimiglia for his highly valued musical input and for creating the asteroid panning/gliss/rotation tool with doppler effect that was used to compose this piece.

Asteroids are rocky objects revolving around the sun that are too small to be called planets. They are also known as planetoids or minor planets. There are millions of asteroids, ranging in size from hundreds of miles to several feet across.  Of the roughly one million known asteroids the greatest number are located between the orbits of Mars and Jupiter in the main asteroid belt.  
An Earth-crossing asteroid is an  asteroid whose path around the Sun crosses Earth’s orbit; these asteroids cross Earth’s orbit on an almost continuous basis. Astronomers have mounted searches for objects that closely approach Earth, partly to determine whether they may collide with the planet, since early detection might make it possible to avert a catastrophe. It is currently estimated that there are about 1,000 Earth-crossing asteroids larger than 1 km (0.6 mile). Asteroids in inner solar system planet-crossing orbits move back and forth among the various kinds of such orbits before eventually colliding with a planet or being ejected from the solar system. Impacts of 1-km-size asteroids are believed to occur a few times every million years. Such a collision would deliver the explosive force of several hydrogen bombs, possibly resulting in global climate disturbances or huge tidal waves. The impact of an object about 10 km (6 miles) in diameter is thought to have caused a massive extinction of species, including the dinosaurs, at the end of the Cretaceous Period (66 million years ago).
For clarinet, bass clarinet, contrabass clarinet, bassoon, contrabassoon, harp, metallophone, bass, virtual instruments, tubular bells, timpani and percussion.
