So you've finally updated, your music making Journal.
I was starting to wonder, when would the next chapter of your musical journey, be written?
He! He!

Here is another chapter. Already ones tried to cover Vangelis but failed big time.
This time the start however is not bad at all. Probably need a different brass like sound though.
84 bpm
Have to make up my mind if I go for this triple oscilator bell or a zynaddsubFX one.
The brass sound is ZynaddsubFX. (stoles the notes from a a you tube vid)

Sounding good so far.
I just watched the original vid you linked.
Not my type of music, but I'll say it's rather quite interesting. It does have a very old school spacey vibe to it.
But I must admit, after listening to the original, it really does kinda sound like a precursor, to the trance, ambient and edm music, we hear nowadays. Kinda like
Popcorn song. He! He!

Oh, you should post your version, in the
Music Projects section.
That way, everyone could see it and make their observations.

Music project section ?
And yes, it was kraftwerk, Jean Michel Jarre and Vangelis, that paved the way for modern edm. I should mention Kitaro too although he is less well known as the others I mentioned. And I am prob forgetting a few. Like Gorgio Moroder.

Not to mention the real original, Tangerine Dream and perhaps even Wendy Carlos who did a lot to popularise Moog synths

Oh and don't forget
Skaven.
He also did the OST music, for the super famous
Bejewelled 2 game.

Some space sounding trance music, has some elements, from the
bejewelled 2 music track.

Love that game.

you do realize I don't like game music in general ? lol
I ones had an Atari ST and I don't miss the sounds from the games from that time.
Although I do have mame installed, so I can play the original pac man.

I am impressed to some point about what skaven did after listening to it, but don't like that music at all. It sounds too 8 bit for me.
I might prob one of these days upload a version of aplha, but for now I only have a small start.
I am already on the hunt of the sheet music, but that does not seem to be so simple. I did find a synthesia vid though.
The vid were I got to notes from only show small pieces.

Lol!
Somehow I kinda sensed that. Especially when it comes to chiptune music posted by Lmms users etc. He! He!

Atari? Wow! I wasn't born yet when that came out.
I know Nintendo though.

How does that soundtrack sound 8 bit?
Okay, well, to a tinee tiny certain extent, after listening to it again, I could kinda a bit understand, why you called that Bejewelled 2 OST track that. Lol!
