"Good luck, Astronauts" - on Wersi Comet
video upload by organfairy
"It's funny how music for science fiction movies has changed over the years: Back in the 1950's the movie 'Forbidden Planet' was noted for it's out-of-this-world music that was played on non-musical electronic instruments - instruments designed more for laboratory and experimental use.
Later in the 1960's science fiction music was more about rhythmic beeps and weird tingling sounds - the beeps probably inspired by the radio signal that the Soviet satelite Sputnik send down to earth while it circled the globe outside the atmosphere.
Later science fiction music was more about lush classical arrangements with some electronic sound effects added.
This piece of music is from the late 1960's and it falls in the beep-and-tingling category. It is written by the Danish organ player Peter Erling but I don't know exactly when it was recorded as there are no indications on the album and both the record company and Erling himself has been dead for decades. I transcibed the music myself and I found some close-enough Sputnik effects on my old Wersi Comet organ."

This one is in via John L Rice who had the following to say:
"'Just me' on ModWiggler spotted this Facebook post of Jon Andersen’s family seeking help and information on selling his Synthesizers.com modular. They posted a link to a video of his from 5 years ago of a performance he did with his modular and a couple keyboards. He only had one other video where he plays guitar and a keyboard."
