Ingenuity (Retrowave/Video)

[Noplan]

Here is a song and music video I made to celebrate today's event.

Nice work, syncs very well with the video and overall mood of the epic event! (and that ending…)

Well the music is fantastic, but the fact that there is some sort of Mars buggy rolling around and then a helicopter thing on Mars makes it totally unrealistic and ruins the visual for me, don't you even know physics? lol, appreciate you sharing this!

[Dabbler]

Very nice.

[Creativemind]

Great track.

Well, this is just movie and is not intended to be real. Did you really think I believed helicopters could fly on Mars?

The whole thing was faked in vast a soundstage on the moon.

Great subject matter! Love the sounds in this, the video and music work so well as a joined experience, great use of different sounds and fx to match with the images... which came first, video or soundtrack? and are these actual spoken samples from the control room that you've used or very cleverly faked or sampled from else where?... Travolta at the end is brilliant! loved the whole thing!

No I didn't, but I have emailed Propellerheads about it and vehemently requested it as a feature.

Thank you. I originally made the song for a small retrowave contest. The song already had the Ingenuity theme with the original vocals from the control room. And apart from the SAM Speech Synthesizer Countdown, I didn't add anything for the video. I cut the NASA animations to match the song and then recorded the final result twice on VHS. Once on a dirty cassette and on a better one so that I could use the VHS glitches musically.

Really nice track with a great melody!
Is it available as audio only somewhere (soundcloud, spotify etc.)? Would love a version without the video-related sfx sounds.

This was a very nice track to dance to. Thnx!!
