Hi there. I've been writing music for many years and thought I'd write something for Elite Dangerous, the ED community and folk in general. This track is about the frightening first encounter with a Thargoid alien ship in the game Elite:Dangerous.

I've tried to tell a story with this piece. This was pretty much the script in my head:

0.00: In space. Flying near ringed planet.
1.29: Power out..drifting/spinning
1.42: Electrical disturbances outside the ship - not recognisable..
2.35: Ship power back on - what the hell is going on ?!
3.37: Electrical disturbances increasing..becoming very intense
4.38: THARGOID appears from subspace - Massive onslaught of lasers - alien weapons !
5.09: Commander managers to hide in asteroid field. Contemplation. Heavy breathing..in shock !
5.55: Prep the ship for full attack ! Plan attack ! 
6.26: This is WAR ! Flying through asteroids - lasers everywhere !
6.58: Massive damage to both ships !
7.12: Thargoid explodes. 5% hull lefton your ship....live to fight another day

Encounter

i write songs about forests, fires, the sea, ships & space travel.
