Greg-Fox_Reshaping-the-Stars Greg Fox audio opensource_audio "Reshaping the Stars" is an allegorical consequence of the demotion (and <i>demolition</i>!) of Pluto - in my science-fiction fantasy piece the evil scientists actually DESTROYED the ninth planet, sending shockwaves throughout the solar system, not only affecting the planets but the laws of acoustics as well!!!<br><br> The CD is formed by three chunks of sine-waves (<i>and now for something completely different!</i>), taking low versions of the planetary pitches and longish durations for the <b>eight</b> planets as their starting-point but instead of using 'Carmen of the Spheres'-style octaves they each use 'shattered octaves' caused by the destruction of Pluto.(<i>Yes it's far-fetched!!</i>)<br><br> The three parts are as follows:<br><br> 1. <b>Pith</b> (14m36s)<br>2. <b>Phi</b> (28m21s)<br>3. <b>Piq</b> (36m2s)<br><br> <br>'Pith' (pronounced Pie-th, like "dice" with a lisp) uses the ratio of <b>1 : 1/pi</b> instead of 1 : 2 for the octave;<br> 'Phi' uses the ratio of <b>1 : Phi</b>; 'Piq' (pi-quarters) uses the ratio of <b>1 : pi/4</b> <br><i> (When pronouncing the titles of the tracks in one continuous sentence it is in fact ok to say "pith-phi-pick" rather than "pieth-phi-pike"!)</i><br><br> If you don't understand what I meant when I glossed over the concept of "low planetary pitches and long planetary durations" please refer to "Carmen of the Spheres".<br> 2006-09-19 2006 Consilience;Harmony of the Spheres;Pluto;Planets;Solar System;Ken Croswell;Groks;Experimental;Contemporary;Electro-acoustic;Acoustic modelling http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/2.5/ 2006-09-19 15:12:20 2006-09-19 15:10:20 gregskius@tesco.net Greg Fox 79 minutes This is the final part of my "Carmen of the Spheres" project and a direct response to the tragic removal of Pluto from the Solar System :-) 2006-09-19 15:15:29 Greg Fox / La Voix Fidel
