This is explained more fully in [this 65daysofstatic post](https://www.65daysofstatic.com/no-mans-sky-journeys-new-album/ ) so I'll keep this short, but we have just announced a new _No Man's Sky_ album! It is called _No Man's Sky: Journeys_ and is by 65daysofstatic and Paul Weir (audio director at Hello Games). Nine years ago, shortly after the initial release of the _No Man's Sky_ and our soundtrack album, 65days wrote another batch of soundscapes for one of the early big game updates that _No Man's Sky_ has become known for. Unlike our initial _No Man's Sky: Music For an Infinite Universe_ soundtrack, these new soundscapes were written directly as generative music systems, intended to exist only in the game itself. They were never designed to be songs. Nevertheless, over the last year-ish, we revisited the original recordings, and slowly sculpted brand new song arrangements from all the raw material. This was quite a novel challenge. Nobody involved was interested in churning out another _No Man's Sky_ album for the sake of it. But approaching it this way - constructing intentional, fixed pieces from endless soundscapes, was a much more compelling prospect. Our music makes up 50% of this double album. The other 50% is music that Paul Weir has been adding to _No Man's Sky_ throughout the intervening years. It is lush, grand, hopeful, cinematic sci-fi, and it sits nicely alongside 65's growly, always-a-little-bit-sad flavour of sci-fi. We deliberately mixed all the songs through the same studio pipeline and weaved them together on the record to make it a cohesive _No Man's Sky_ album. More info at that link above. It is coming out 18th September. Here is a link to the two lead tracks that are already streaming: No Man’s Sky - Vostock / The Journey (Original Soundtrack)Go to No Man’s Sky - Vostock / The Journey (Original Soundtrack).Vostock / The Journey (Original Soundtrack) ### ALPACA FESTIVAL Got a bunch of new tunes to try out during my set at Alpaca Festival in Sheffield in a few weeks. I am playing Saturday night (13th September). Looks like a great line-up—James Holden has just been added to the bill of a load of other cool names—so if you're in the area you should come along. My set will look something like this: Tickets for both the Saturday night concert I'm playing at and the whole weekend festival are available HERE. And if you missed it, the other week I wrote a bit more about Alpaca and what I'm planning to try out.
