I was composing some space age music for my futuristic space station scene but then I remembered the Moonlight Sonata. I thought it will be a nice touch for a certain scene in my short film where the camera hovers in a lobby with a view of the earth from a far.

It is a photo slide-show music video:

I am studying these modern soundtracks from scifi space movies...

I am using MixCraft 8. I added some electronic instruments and synth effects to make it sound more techno. I added a slight flange filter and subtle delays to the track for more atmosphere.I sped it up to 15%.

Ambient effects are inspired by Stranger Things title opening music.

I'm hearing a juxtaposition of the unaltered Moonlight Sonata and a track based on quartal harmony of F and C. I'm not sure what you're going for since the Beethoven is so present it almost feels like nothing was done with it. Maybe it's a mixing issue (background louder) but as it stands I'm not totally getting it.

I found some time to work on this piece. 

 

Good suggestion. I should add more atmosphere and a subtle echo effect to make it more eerie. I listened to some suspense space age music and I noticed the use of echo and reverb effect, some droning effects and deep bass to achieve an uneasy and mysterious vibe. I watched various interview from well known composers like Jesper Kyd that the scene and the music must compliment each other to achieve a certain mood like a lighting changes a scene's mood.
