Music

The music of the Spaceship Martini is an ever evolving mix of storytelling and sound, often centering around the lyrics that Martini writes. Most recently they scored the film Lymelife, which Martini wrote with his brother Derick, based on their childhood. The end title song was written while Martini was editing during the film shoot in New Jersey. He was looking for the right sentiment to play over the final scene of the film and his fingers started strumming "Love is all I Know" by Ric Veda. After a few times singing through the song his heart was full and within the same key of G emerged the waltzing theme of "Running out of Empty".
