A Galaxy Teeming With Life

A Galaxy Teeming With Life is a composition made by manipulating a Hubble space telescope picture, manipulating a sample of Francesca from 8Dio and creating a new tuning that is 256 harmonics of every odd harmonic from 3 without reducing to an octave and combining all of this in AudioPaint with some normalization on the back end. The resulting piece is very odd (and has a large dynamic range so turn it up). The closest reference I can give you is Pink Floyd’s “Several Species of Small Furry Animals Gathered Together in a Cave and Grooving With a Pict” without the Scottish accented monolog.

Dear Chris,

I really enjoyed the atmosphere you created. Very realistic, life like for sure, and with a mystery to it. Nice job, great work, inspirational, and very intriguing. Thanks again!

Peace,

Mike
