Astro + Arturia = AWESOME!

video upload by Jeremy Parker

"My love of astrophotography has intersected with my love of synthesizers in a beautiful venn diagram of awesomeness. At least I'm hoping so! One of the reasons I purchased my Arturia POLYBRUTE was exactly for making space music. It's been over a year since my last astrophotograhy video, so it's about that time.

Most of the images were taken from darker skies, but a couple came from home under my light pollution with the new astro camera and filters. I listed some details on the sounds I used, and also the images you'll see. If you want more dorky details, see below:
