There Are No Vegans in Space

Skirmish: Outer Space (@amazinglyandrew)

Liner Notes

For the "Outer Space" skirmish. I couldn't come up with anything until I thought about whether there had ever been a vegan astronaut. Turns out, no. I then tried my hardest to come up with some quality lyrics, but I couldn't think of anything appropriate. Briefly considered doing some death metal lyrics, and the title could just be random, but that wasn't working.

I really wanted to use this title, though, so I settled on a quick piano piece. It's a little rough 'round the edges, but overall I think it's got promise. Recorded within the skirmish hour, but I didn't have time to do the video editing / uploading thing right away.

Behold: a lament.

I recently read the book Orbital. I found myself imagining this piece narrating the thoughts of the different astronauts as they orbit the earth again and again. Untethered from time on earth.

I thought this was going to be some sort of adage, like "there are no atheists in foxholes", but it's just a statistic. Nice piece though.
