Cosmic Connections presents:
When music from an unknown source fills the hull and minds of the crew of the I.S.S. Sanchez, it’s 3 person crew reacts with wonder and horror as it haunts them relentlessly from an unknown source somewhere in deep space….
Cosmic Connections blasts off in Episode 1! The crew of the SS Sanchez after deciding that time had officially ended and now on the tailspin end of Hedonistic exploration they now enter a different phase on the course of their minds. Reality, such as it is in the cosmos appears distorted and clear at the same time, the promise of freedom and understanding from the cage of their ship hurtling unprotected in deep space. Will the SS Sanchez survive this cosmic trip?!
This episode has Buddhist sutra recitation, songs about meditation and contemplating the self. There are songs about desire, lost and a lot of heavy guitar riffs along with lilting acoustic melodies. Featuring Karen Beth, The Open Mind, Brewer & Shipley plus many more!
Cosmic Connections is an anthology of music and stories. It is produced and directed by David Ace, and the stories are written by Charlie Wells.

Join DJ Miss Kitty as she explores a brief history of music in film from the 1930s-2000s. Starting with film scoring of the late 30s/40s, composers during this period almost exclusively wrote original orchestral pieces to accompany a film. We’ll hear from highly influential composers from the time like Max Steiner and Alfred Newman. We then move to film scoring that is more influenced by pop and jazz during the 1950s-60s with well-known hits from masters like Henry Mancini, Lalo Schifrin, and Ennio Morricone. The late 60s and early 70s began to include original music featuring vocals from famous artists like Simon & Garfunkle, Curtis Mayfield, and Jimmy Cliff. These soundtracks were famous in their own right, independent from the movies that featured them. During the 1970s New Hollywood era, film music headed in two concurrent, divergent directions with the incorporation of synthesizers and a return to classic scoring with the likes of John Carpenter and John Williams.
The 1980s ring in the “jukebox” era of movie soundtracks. The 1980s are full of song-laden soundtracks, most of which were not produced to accompany a film, but are used to punctuate the film’s plot. Due to advancing digital technology—”especially sampling and computer-based sequencing—the 1980s also saw the proliferation of synthesizer-heavy scores. Notably: Escape from New York (John Carpenter, 1981), The Terminator (Brad Fiedel, 1984), Blade Runner (Vangelis, 1982), and Tron (1982, Wendy Carlos.) Jerry Goldsmith’s work on the Star Trek film series (1979 onward) explores the possibilities of fusing orchestral sounds with electronic elements.” The 1990s-2000s saw a boon in hit movie soundtracks that seemed to define generations through popular music of the time like Trainspotting or Clueless or evoke the nostalgia of simpler times like in the popular movies Dazed & Confused and Jackie Brown.
