 The music
Contemporary classic, Ambient, Atmosphere.

It creates an almost religious atmosphere, deep and shimmering choral voices lay a dark haze trough which higher voices can sparkle. 
I used the full tonal range from very low up to the highest notes and added instrumental contrasting elements: a simple and classic approach of arranging, composing and mixing.

Imagine: Sitting in your chair to take a few hours of sleep. Looking out your window you gaze into the open sky. Your mind wanders trough your day to day worries...... 
The endless space, infinity, 400 kilometers above earth, for 484 days, like Sergei Krikalev. 
Just try to imagine! 
Meanwhile listen to this composition ......

 About WEB MIDI music
This is an excerpt of a piece of music written for XG Sound Cards and synthesizers.

Publishing on the WEB means finding a compromise in sounds as General Midi is the Standard on most Personal Computers. Unfortunately this means a loss of typical atmosphere of the original composition when played back on various "low budget" soundcards.
