Makes me miss my home of New Appalachia, another three months on this laser rig in the outer belt mining carbon, hard work but Titan needs its Graphite, and they pay better than the living I make off the Hogs since the blight hit the Martian Chestnut. I tear-up just thinking about my great-grandpappy, he first seeded those hills during the terraform. Now the hills are dying!
The Martian Chestnut blight!👏👏 - Woodworker here. Wormy chestnut happens to be favorite wood to work with. I even turned a wormy chestnut gear shifter knob for the stick-shift in my Subaru. Thanks for this awesome comment!
Wow! That's frigging awesome
I’m sensing a prospect:firefly spin off in the making!
I grew up in Jasper GA. Moved out when I was only 9. It’s in the southern tip of the Appalachian Mountains. I miss it very much. Some places I drive in Oregon reminds me of it…
@@GearheadTrucking Beautiful area of GA. I hiked the first 90 or so miles of the App Trail from Springer Mtn to the NC border. Blood Mtn was fantastic. One of my favorite memories of my 20s.
Reminds me of playing guitar and banjo with my grandpappy, in the middle of literally nowhere in the high plains of Kansas in the late 40's, I was 8 yrs old. I'm now 83 and still living in that ole cabin on 64 acres, and still playing my banjo for my great grandkids.
Bless you gramps.
Thats awesome! 😉
God keep you, my old man’s about your age…amazes me the journey through time and technology you both have had.
Bless you
Your great grandkids will carry your banjo melodies with them for the rest of their lives. Somehow the banjo just sticks in kid's brains. My favorite audiences to play for have always been kids. And I've had more people than I can count tell me about their grandad's playing for them as kids back in the 60s, 70s, 80s, etc.

Me too. Had to see what this was about.

(4-4-2024) Stopped by to hear what a space banjo sounds like. Not disappointed.
Listen to "journey of the sorcerer".
I'm a trucker and typically a metal head. However, I just discovered this, and I can say I'll be rolling to Idaho tonight to this.
What part Idaho ? I wanna go there. South west part maybe ?
🤙
Space truckin'?
I'm on my way back from Mars with a load of He3 caught this on UULHF ,one more month I'll be back home to my NC mountains 🇺🇸🦅✌🏽
Truckin' and listening to this kind of stuff is the best.
Didn't know I needed Space Banjo in my life but here we are.
same :D
It's going to be hard to explain to people that this is what I listen to now.
I wonder what Stringbean & Grandpa Jones would think about this?
if you're into gaming definitely play Outer Wilds!! space banjo is the main soundtrack (and part of the story). it's beautiful
@@ch._3205 *Travelers theme starts to play*
“Haunting” “Space” “Banjo” What a combination.
Brings me back to StarCraft Brood War
There's a reason Journey of the Sorcerer was chosen as the theme song for the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy. That reason was the haunting banjo.
Yall aint from around this galaxy, GO ON GIT!
😂😂
What an underrated comment holy shit
Outer wilds, playing red dead, just working outside. This is a genre I didn't know I needed in my life but now i can't go without it. Huge props from southern Appalachia, takes me back to when Great Grandad was still around
Definitely something we need. Was pleasantly surprised finding this in my feed.
Appalachia Rule's. To all my daddy's peep's in Fayette County, your prodigal son is coming home. ❤
Banjo with alot of reverb = "new genre" lol its cool but, new genre..it's all in your brain mate.
@@MiguelBaptista1981new can be subjective. No need to be negative.
@@MiguelBaptista1981 eh, its new to us, subjective things, you not thinking it doesn't mean its not true...
Space and banjos. A combination I never knew I needed.
Play Outer Wilds 🌲🪐
Outer Wilds, Wander Over Yonder, Starbound, Hardspace Shipbreakers Have I been blind to space banjos?
Perfect soundtrack for Rimworld
No banjos, but if you want some great space cowboy music, dig up the album Sundown on Venus by Jet Black Berries.
Amen to that, brother!
As a space colonist, I’ve never been home to earth. But this fills my heart that earthers and spacers come from the same place
It's 2am in a sleepy little village in Wales UK 🏴 and the wind is absolutely howling and I'm in bed with no lights on and I discovered this video and it is so perfect for a night like this, I'm transported to another dimension and I'm sailing the astral plains trying to soak up every last drop of this magic 🪄.
I spent time in Wales a few years ago before covid. Absolutely beautiful countrysides and Snowdonia. I ended up staying in a yurt and a 250 year old cobblestone house, both out in the middle of nowhere.
@@SpaceBanjoMusic really, wow! Wales is such an underestimated place and it's so beautiful, Snowdonia is a true gem of a place and the home's you lived in sound wonderful and in the middle of nowhere is such a blissful experience, thanks for your reply and major thanks for introducing me to the wonderful music you created.
That night has come again
@@BGAUGE storm Isha is kicking up a fierce one tonight, so where are you exactly?.
I was near Dyffryn Mymbyr that night.. Holy hell was that windy.. Noswaith dda!
You've done it. You've tapped into a genre I've wanted to exist ever since listening to the Journey of the Sorcerer as the intro to the Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy all those years ago. Thank you.
Aho
Damn, now that's a deep cut. Definitely feel that same vibe.
Fuck you for making me sick with nostalgia.
Outer Wilds anyone?
Ditto. What a way to put it into words. I've been chasing this sound since I first saw that movie.
"This morning, I woke up and started working from home. I poured a cup of coffee and started playing this music in the background on my headphones. As I listened, I placed the warm mug to my forehead and closed my eyes, feeling the warmth of the sun flooding through my window. Thanks for helping to make this morning so peaceful. if you read this, doesn't matter where you are right now on this planet, I wish you a wonderful night and a happy peaceful life where all your dreams become true."
Thank you brother I needed this
Damn not a lot of people goin out of their way to be polite anymore. Thank you buddy all the same to you!
Describes my morning on this cold mid west day as the sun is just breaking on the horizon. New sub of your channel also :)
Be blessed
Much obliged and back at you my Good Sir
This doesn’t live in my head rent free. This purchased a plot and pulled a double wide into an empty space I didn’t know I had. 50% of my chakras aligned when I turned this bad boy on.
This Banjo must be special, very special cause it can travel trough vacuum of space and it can be heard loud and clear here in Serbia. Thank You.
LMFAO, thinking the same thing...
The lonesome sound of the banjo is perfect for space. What an excellent combination.
You have to have the right atmosphere to do it properly. Too much helium, and sounds like a 30s Steamboat Willie cartoon..
Huh, who would have thought… I thought it was a very odd combo but im pleasantly surprised it actually works quite well
Space Cowboys 😎
The aesthetic in this video, as far as I could guess, is probably based on Journey of the Sorcerer. That was the theme song for The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy.
it does have that hollow, metallic sound reminiscent of a cold void, true
A real Firefly feel to it. Love it.
It's like Wash never died.
Is firefly pretty good? I started one of the audiobooks but I don't think I gave it a fair chance.
Ride on Space Cowboy.

You got a banjo?! All I got was a dumbass stick sounds like it’s rainin
Man this sure does bring back the childhood memories of walking the iron rich mountains of mars. My grandad taught me how to hunt for fossils on Venus the summer before he died.
I will be playing this for my Uber passengers.
"Haunting Space Banjo" sounds like a badass rare item you'd find in some random shack that a UFO crashed near
O MYYYY! You ARE good at this!
A boss weapon in Elden Ring.
Definitely a FallOut Quest Item. New Quest: Return of the SpaceBillies * Retrieve the Haunting Space Banjo
As we sat around the chem fire the strums of the stranger's banjo reverberated though the hostile foreign gasses of the alien atmosphere producing a haunting but beautiful sound; familiar but distorted like a nostalgic dream. A feeling came over me that these notes were my own story being played, a weary but hopeful journey through a dangerous beautiful expanse.
Yea
Great description
There is a strange hope in the middle of ruin and decay, mainly the beauty of the solar winds as the blow on my sole in a reflective way, I put down this feeling of absent regret and stare of into the distance and remember, I’m not dead yet. It may not be time to dance, it may not be time to sing, but it is time to take up this titanium plow and terra form this waste land into a beautiful thing, in the middle of this frigid space winter out here in the cosmos we’re all hoping for the distant spring, and in the deafening silence of my helmet I hear that old banjo ring.
beautiful wordsmithing
I think I'm in love with you, except it takes at least three weeks to get good responses on my freight run between Antares and Alpha 497. String instruments can sound really silly if there's too much chlorofluorocarbonation at surface. But my lungs are in favor of playing in a 1G environment with a Nitro/Oxy/carbon atmosphere, with a banjo playing buddy. So... see ya around.
The family are asleep . It’s just ma faithful dog and I on the deck . There’s only three stars ✨ I can see and I’m so grateful for all three . This music will take me and Tex far from here within seconds of focusing on the brightest star Little puff of this here grass n it’s flight time Angels be with you all
I used to play banjo with my grandsons back in the forties. This is the way I always heard it in my head. A few weeks ago, my wives and I celebrated our anniversary. We sat outside in the airless night, sharing your music through our helmets, looking up at the Earthrise. It was very romantic. If we ever get back this way again, I'd like you to play at our coronation. The metal fatigue virus should have blown over by then.
or are they fantasizing about their mormon afterlife

@@UPTAUT Gorram right!
Someone should make an Appalachian frontier game where all the folklore of this place might be a little more than just stories
I'd buy it
Fallout 76 kinda does this
So, if “Old Gods of Appalachia” were a video game?
Being from coastal NC, I'm so proud of this state and it's historical impact. Not all good, but not all bad. Proud to call North Cackalacky home
Planet Gunsmoke was a planned Trigun (the scifi-western anime) openworld game. I like to think it would scratch that itch a bit.
Seventy-five years in Cryo-Stasis and the music just ain't the same no more. Glad somebody still appreciates it.
This is the strangest, most oddly specific genre I’ve ever seen and it’s honestly pretty cool
I'm a simple man. I hear a tritone played on the banjo, I click like.
I suddenly feel like watching 'Firefly' again. Great work as always, TiMBER ZEAL.
Thank you.
I keep thinking The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy theme.

You're gorram right.

I don't think insects can sound like a banjo
Ah, for those who grew up with the BBC's adaptation of Douglas Adam's invaluable guide, this is balm: utter balm for the soul.
It's really wild how the combination of the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy and the Eagles turned banjo music into space music
We are deeply enmeshed in the past while being surrounded by the future. It is only that the future hasn't been recognized yet.
Yeeeah I used to fall asleep to the radio show every night on cassette.
Mainly Bernie Leadon & POCO ...among others.
Lots of reverb and delay helps.

It’s good to have banjo fired up in the cockpit when flying the belt.
This reminds me a bit of Borderlands, specifically the Jesper Kyd tracks. He composed them to be western with a spacey modern sort of sound. I was just scrolling and saw "haunting space banjo" and had to click, and I'm so glad I did. Very well done 😊
Ahhh Borderlands. My favorite game in over 20 years.
I remember that, the sound to the first game had such a distinct strange almost unsettling soundtrack
I thought the exact same thing within 2 min of this. Love borderlands.
i IMMEDIATELY thought the same thing!!
I hear it in my heart.bravo
I had a whole day planned out, was just gonna put on some background music, then a video appeared called "Haunting Space Banjo" and... well... here we are
We don't have nearly enough space western in our lives. Long live Space Banjo!
Long live FireFly!
Ever since the release of Outer Wilds I’ve wanted more music like this and low and behold it’s all here!
*lo and behold
Who would've thought that the sounds of bluegrass and the great unknown would sound so good together. Thanks for all your work!
Check out "Outer Wilds" video game and it will all make sense. 😉
Thank you for listening!
Ain't no more secluded holler than in the Smoky Methane Mountains of Titan. Drop by and mama will fix you up with some moon juice. Drink it quick before the jar dissolves. Makes the distance between the planets go by in a twinkling, or pour it in the tank if your starhopper runs low.
there should be a book about space hillbillies@@foxfireman188-ls1kv
Brian Eno talked about in his production for the soundtrack for the documentary For All Mankind that the NASA astronauts were allowed a single cassette on the voyage to the moon. Most wound up brining country music from the time. So the idea of frontier music being the music of the final frontier has always been around.
Yanno, the visual AI's tendency to just mash things together actually really works for alien and futuristic scenes.
Sometimes, once in a blue moon, the internet is a wonderful place.
Strummin' a banjo while sailing by Uranus.... Deliverance was a good movie.
I love how everyone has their own way of describing this genre
Part of me wishes more people would place more weight on the "Old Time" side of it. Almost all these tunes are over 100 years old!
My life has gone down the crapper, and I was about to hit bed. This somehow works right now. It just does.
Glad to hear it helps, thanks for listening. 🙏
Keep a stiff upper lip friend. We are just passing through. Make the best life you can with the ingredients you have left.
Keep your head up your not alone I am broke, starving and have a baby girl on the way. No matter the situation it CAN ALWAYS be worse.
If it didn't kill you it will make you stronger. It's a cliche that happens to be true. You typed this comment, so there's hope for you, my friend. It's the quiet ones that we have to worry about.
This is the music I didn’t ask for. But it’s the music I needed.
Guinness Book of World record for longest banjo solo in space goes to this guy❤ hats off to you my friend!!
This takes me back to my teenage years camping out on the Martian plains, just me, the lonesome wind, and those stars that I knew were out there somewhere beyond the dusty skies
I use this for ambience in my steampunk D&D sessions. Fantastic ambience.
Keep your Space Marines and such, I'm happy just driving grox to market on an agri-world and appreciating the double sunset while lighting up a fresh Imperial Best cigarette.
Thank you from a sleepless soul waiting for the day to start on frozen day in Nebraska.
Has such a Firefly vibe - love it!
Exactly what I said 10 seconds into it. Firefly, my favorite Space Opera.
The stars stretched out before me as I leaned back in the worn captain's chair of the Razerleaf, my father's old spaceship. The soft strumming of a banjo filled the cabin, a famous space western tune from TiMBR ZEAL that had become the soundtrack to my solitary patrols. My father, a retired famous bounty hunter, had left me this ship and a legacy of justice, and I intended to uphold it. The Razerleaf hummed contentedly as it glided through the vast expanse of space, its sleek frame cutting through the darkness. I took a sip of my lukewarm coffee and let the music wash over me. It was moments like these when I could almost forget the harsh reality of my job as a lone Freestar Rangers deputy. But then, a harsh blip interrupted my moment of tranquility. My eyes shot open, and I instinctively reached for the controls. A distress signal flashed on the screen, emanating from a civilian ship. The signal's origin was clear - it was coming from the edge of the Narion System, a notorious hotspot for Crimson Fleet space pirates. I clenched my jaw and tightened my grip on the controls. Duty called, and I was ready to answer. The banjo music still played softly in the background, a stark contrast to the impending danger that awaited me. I tune on the comforting tune, followed by the low hum of the ship's engines as I engaged full throttle....
An enjoyable read. Adds an extra dimension to the music. Thanks for sharing!
Sick
My guy that imagery,you spun was top tier.
I could literally read that entire book my guy
uhm do you have any books? because you should.
Clicked on this because i was curious. 30 mins later I'm like "wait i want more". Just added Space Banjos to my Spotify list😊
I love coming across weird, random badass-ness on KZhead. It's a shame that real talent doesn't get noticed, unless you dress and act a certain way. So many talented people out in the world, and sadly, their ideas, their creations, music, art, whatever it is, will go unnoticed by the rest of the world. Keep up the good work!
Just when I thought there was nothing new in the galaxy, this comes along 💯🏆
I want to go somewhere away from lights and roads, and just stare up at the night sky and let my mind roam out there, with this as my soundtrack.
I don't always rock out to banjo centtric music, but when I do, it's Space Banjo . Seriously, it's interesting.
I knew space rock was a thing, but this right here hits me where i live. Space rock for the heart, Space Banjo for the soul
I'd love to be listening to this out in the country somewhere, far from any city with it's light pollution, on a cloudless night with the void and the stars stretching away ...
There is no light pollution... in space!
Put one of these tracks on loud, pick a highway, and just drive for an entire day. That's when the adventure begins.
yes indeed. it's time to leave the city when you get those feelings. the city needs you, but you don't need the city.
First, trance harmonica, then heavy metal cello, now chill wave banjo. Beautiful sounds for my soul. Thank you!
ohh, i need me some trance harmonica
*eagerly googles trance harmonica
Add some Mongolian Techno to the list kzhead.info/sun/bNmGpNKAbpV3dZ8/bejne.html
As A harmonica player... Effin' A! Someone else knows about it!!! I play with a couple of "acid rock" groups, and we be chilling' like that
music bridges gaps
This is not only a pleasure to listen to, but could easily serve as the soundtrack to a movie about UFO's landing in Appalachia...
Whenever I hear banjo, my sphincter tingles.
I like banjos, I like bluegrass, I did not expect the videos of banjo music on this channel to be one of the most effective calming tools around for my newborn child.
I did not either but this may be my favorite unexpected outcome of creating this music.
@timbrzeal happy to hear that, keep up the good work.
What plays during the contemplative moments a man asks himself if it’s truly worth the trouble to keep on.
i never thought i would listen to banjo music but you know what A+ will listen again
Makes me think of Firefly. Love it.
Took me a while but I finally found someone pointed that out
I had no idea such a music concept existed, but now I suddenly have a new favorite.
it’s the never ending hall reverb with a nice touch of slapback echo such a lovely soundscape
It’s really hard to put in to words just how hard this fucking slaps my guy
Me relaxing after a day of shooting bandits in the kneecaps thst wanted my cow.
Starfield is in desperate need of this in the background ambience
It's affirming I'm using the internet right when this is in my reccomendations.
"There we were, the four us. Woulda been 5 but Benny well you know he wasnt always the brightest star in this here galaxy."
this is amazing!!! I play this in one tab and mix it with a log cabin fireplace crackling and winter wind howing outside in another tab. Goes together perfectly!
My oh my this sounds amazing and wish I knew how You were doing that
I must try this!!!
I watch the sky late at night and this carries me on my way through the universe.
There's a sense of nostalgia in your music that transports me back in time, evoking memories of cherished moments and beloved faces.
When I'm not listening to this... it's still playing in my head.
Anybody else have head cannon now that this is what the Batarians heard when they attacked Torfan?
Im gonna need more of your stuff on spotify so I can get a playlist going!
I'll have more on Spotify soon!
Yes please!
This great music sends my mind traveling through space and time looking for an eternity for my destination.
All my homies on Eros loved this little diddle. Rip the kopeng who we lost to the inners P-kule
As someone learning the banjo, I’d love if you uploaded the notes to these so I could follow along with the fire roaring outside like a fellow cosmic adventurer.
Yeah - please 😍
The first song is Dock Boggs, Country Blues.
You did this very well 💞 A genre of music that has been around for a long time but never goes out of style, still good and true to the talent you brought to more people. Wishing anyone who sees this comment good luck 🍀🍀🍀
This makes my mind wander beautifully to an imaginative place. It’s so peaceful and pure.
I clicked on this for the cool album art. Then I heard the music and enjoyed it.
Just saw this pop up and am pleased i did
Kind of reminds me of Firefly. Space western. Awesome! This will be playing at my desk tomorrow.
Welcome back to another exciting episode of The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy.
Warm out today. Warm yesterday. Even warmer today
More of this please, perfect calm winter evening music. it can be desolate here in Canada in the winter, -35 degrees Celsius, still made it out ice fishing in a snow desert on a frozen lake this weekend though. Yes I Build igloos, I don't sleep in em but theyre a great place to take a break from shoveling snow and life in general.
Supremely gorgeous. Made my eyes water. Sent chills all over. Thank you!
Banjo music to me is always uplifting and happy. Fast or slow I never get tired of the rhythm and tempo. But this hits different. I like it.
The music definitely fits the vibe I'd even play it out on my camping trips
I would like to see this style but bluegrass fast. Space Hillbilly banjo.
I'm a fan of bluegrass and Appalachian deep Appalachian music. And let me tell you when I heard I am so glad that I stumbled upon this link to hear this music. You are truly a phenomenal artist putting this together in taking people back way back to long time ago with your grandpappy's and and all and just you captured the essence the true essence of what this stuff was written about back then and family in true values that we are missing today. You are an inspiration and a true artist I mean just amazed me thank you ever so much for putting this together and just almost in tears how much absorbed into this music and where it takes me back long ago. Thank you ever so much for making this this older 53-year-old man feel like a kid again and around his grandparents that he misses so much. Forever indebted thank you ever so much.
This!!! Yes! I've been slowly building a Spotify playlist of dark bluegrass and spooky blues. It has to evoke a very particular feeling, so additions are hard to come by, and I'm always on the lookout for songs to add. KZhead served this up for me, and when I read "Haunting Space Banjo" I had hope but didn't actually expect; after all, when I read about "blackgrass" I thought perhaps I'd found my people, but actually listening to it proved to be a dead end. This, however - the first few notes rolled out, flooding my brain with dopamine, and I knew this was on my wavelength. I'm moving to Appalachia soon and this will fill that cabin in the mountains perfectly. Thank you!!!
Happy you like it
What's the name of your Playlist? And is it public?
Yes i would like to know that playlist
Welcome to these here hills neighbor!!
I would also love to see/hear your playlist. I was born on Halloween and play guitar/electric Sitar/ and Theremin in a spooky blues/ swamp Rock band in NW Wisconsin. We're adding Fiddle +Banjo to our lineup. Would like to explore more musical visionaries in this style.
I have no idea how or why the algorithm lead me here. But maaaaaan am I happy it did!
