lyrics

You and I
We're stellar cinders
Scoria
Made of light

Glittering light bursts
of a time long forgotten
Comfort me to sleep
Billions of miles away shines above me

All life history
All life yet to be founded in temporal
Lineal energy
Displaced and re-conceived

Birthed another reinvention of the self
But is it a separate self
Or a continuous one
In transition

There is danger
In transition
Constant changes
Reinvention

(Like green periscopes
tiny shoots peer from muddy
beds searching for sun.
Dark fear crackling at
the edges, the heart beats on
pulsating core of light)

*And just like the signals that we send and receive here on earth, we can convert these transmissions into sound using simple analog techniques. And therefore, it's through listening that we've come to uncover some of the universe's most important secrets: it's scale, what it's made of, and even how old it is.
And yet, despite this, hardly any of us have ever heard this. How many of you here could describe the sound of a single planet or a star? Well, in case you've ever wondered, this is what the sun sounds like.*

Other times, the sounds take patience to develop. The ideas range from very basic to very complex. These are the recordings I wish to share with you. I hope you enjoy them as much as I have. ... more
