  • III. The Real Stardust
    During a balmy summer on Sol III, a small family spent a delightful afternoon at the white banks of the Baltic Sea. As the local star gradually descended in the western sky, the adults began to prepare dinner, keeping an eye on Ausma and her elder brother Gatis playing and romping on the sandy shore.
    The setting sun started to paint the cloudy sky with vibrant colors, and Ausma was enchanted by the dazzling glints on the surface of the tranquil sea. Excitedly, she called out to her brother, "Look, Gatis! Look at all the shiny stardust swimming in the sea!" Gatis giggled at his little sister's imagination as he approached her at the rolling surf, where the warm waves softly lapped over the children's bare and sandy feet.
    Then he took Ausma by the hand, and led her to a spot of pure white sand. Scooping up a handful, he waved it right under his sister's nose. "Look, Ausma," Gatis declared with a serious face, "this is real stardust.", letting the sand trickle through his fingers, where a gentle evening breeze shaped a thin and ornate cloud, dispersing the tiny grains into eternity.

    This third chapter is a brilliant masterpiece. After having listened to both acts 1 and 2 I told myself that I’d wait to propose my global opinion but after this one it’s just impossible. I often thought that I was missing your very first hours that I’m listening to at least once a month. Everything you created after these albums « from the first era » is just excellent, don’t make me wrong but nostalgia is piercing my heart each time I’m listening to these albums.
    But this… jeez man. It’s full of elegance and passion. Its brilliant. A true example of perfect less is more journey through atmospheric ambient. Everything at its place.
    Can’t wait to have access to the whole book on BC to enjoy the entire cruise.
    Great work Markus, really.
    (Edit, Markus with a k, sorry. I woke up and told myself : did I write it with a C like Mister Palt 😅 And yes I did, sorry for that).

      Dear Fred, I gave myself this piece of music as a birthday present. However, I didn't celebrate my birthday at home, so I didn't have access to the internet during the last week. That's why I'm all the more pleased to read your lovely comment today, and I do gratefully take your comment as a belated birthday present. Thank you very much.
      Yours, Markus

      Well, the inhabited planet Sol III is just like the most of any other inhabited planets: Someone is playing and romping on the beach while others are making dinner 🙂

      Dear Frank, thank you so much for your comment.
      This piece of music, I hope you have heard it, is somewhat reminiscent of the way you make music.
      Science fiction films from the GDR? Can you give me a title or two? I would love to watch those movies.

      Thank you dear Tomas.
      I really appreciate that you also mention the story. The story takes place about 800 km south west from your place, at the white shores of Latvia. Don't ask me what time the story takes place. It is timeless and could have happened in one way or another on other planets in the universe.
      Have a nice start into next week!

      Dear Colin, as long as you enjoy my music and I enjoy your music, and we say this occasionally to each other, everything is fine for me. I'm often proud of the fact that I know almost all listeners on my little channel by their first names.
      Cheers, Markus
      P.S. You also may say that you dislike my music or a special music piece. As long as your criticism is constructive and honest, your opinion as a very good music producer is valuable and therefore welcome to me.

      @@MarkusGrandpre I agree Markus. I think honest feedback is always the best to get. I have always given you honest feedback. If you ever create a track I don't like I will tell you what I don't like about it. Having said that it is unlikely to happen as I always like your music.
      I also much prefer having a channel small enough to know the subscribers. That is far more valuable to me than having thousands of subs.

    Dear Markus, this music takes us on a contemplative journey through the vastness of space. The ethereal notes of the synthesizers, like flashes of distant stars, create an atmosphere of tranquility and wonder. The slow and hypnotic rhythm invites us to slow down, breathe and let ourselves be carried away by the music. Every sound is like a step in a cosmic exploration, discovering new and unknown worlds. This is a perfect song for a moment of relaxation and introspection, to connect with the immensity of the universe and find inner peace. A musical experience that reminds us of our smallness in the face of the grandeur of the cosmos. Thanks for sharing this my friend. Yours, Marcus.

      Dear Marcus, forgive me this question, but I want to know from you, if you like the text, too?
      I think that is the best text I've ever written in English. I love the scenery, the pictures, the words and of course the music within this text. Sol III can be such a nice place! But it is a shame how carelessly we treat this planet. Wouldn't it be better to play with sand and admire nature like children do, than to destroy nature with highly complex electronic devices that consume a lot of energy and produce heat and CO2 as well as beautiful sounds? I don't know... Yes, I do know, but sometimes I can't sleep well because of this question. Maybe you can help me here, my friend.
      Yours, Markus

      @@MarkusGrandpre Dear Markus, forgive my late reply but I had not received the notification. The text of this story of yours is of infinite beauty, dreamy and exciting. Thanks to your words I was able to imagine in my mind this moment experienced by the characters in your story.
      As for your thoughts, I believe that improving the world is everyone's commitment.
      In a world that often appears complex and problematic, it is easy to feel helpless and resigned. But if we join forces and actively engage, we can make a difference and help make it a better place. We must activate awareness within ourselves:
      Let's inform ourselves and become aware of the challenges that our planet and our society must face by reading, watching documentaries and participating in awareness-raising meetings.
      We reflect on our lifestyle, and evaluate the impact of our daily choices on the environment and society, seeking more sustainable and responsible alternatives.
      Every small gesture, every responsible action, every individual contribution can make a difference. If each of us commits to doing our part, we can build a more just, sustainable and peaceful world for future generations.
