HELIOPHONIE 2020: Cell 8 ~ Myth-Science Ensemble
“We are children of the sun--each and everyone." -- Sun Ra
Our sun rings like a bell every 4 minutes 48 seconds (as initiated here on a solar gong). Overtones pulse in quadra-pole rotation (realized by the instrumentalists mixed in surround). The solar storms moving vigorously through the heliosphere are sonified here by Patrick Conway on the congas, opening gates to the sun’s harmonic streams.
