Re: Experiment in effects of audio in space
We on Luna Mars love a good experiment once in a while. OK, maybe a lot of times in a week. We've just finished with our petri dish of bacteria in the outer quadrants. Some of it escaped into the Martian soil. Hopefully there won't be an epidemic of killer spores around here.
Meanwhile, in studying the music of the spheres here, we recently delved headlong into violinist Daniel Hope's new release, Spheres. You can check out a listening guide here:
In studying what sweet music the planets and other space objects make, we decided to try and see if we can drive our astronauts crazy with repetitive bells and chimes, in what we cleverly disguised as "minimalist music" in the style of Reich, Riley and Glass.
We decided to upload and transmit the track, Eclipses (Variation 6/8) - Mallets, Bells, Chimes, Phaser & Strings (ya, a mouthful), onto SoundCloud and hopefully everyone else in the universe can also participate in this experiment.
Leave us a note here to let us know what effects, if any, this music has on you. If we see gibberish in the comments, we would then know we have been successful.
