	Pompa Funebris Volume 3 - Greg Fox This is the third and final volume of the Pompa Funebris, an indeterminate requiem written in 2006. This volume brings together the threads from the first two, with rearrangements of the material used as elements in volume one combined with a radical reworking of the data matrix from volume two. The final thread is a kind of farewell to "fake instruments", for fake piano and fake bass guitar. The blending together was something akin to the "Open Source Audio" model of the Malhaus project (see se...

	Episode 4: Seprents & Power Songs - KMO In this episode we delve into the topic of ayahuasca tourism and hear an ayahuasca story from the world famous Zipcodeman. http://www.zipcodeman.com Extended show notes here: http://kmo.livejournal.com/261463.html Keywords: zipcode man; ayahuasca; E.O.

	Carmen of the Spheres - Greg Fox You are looking at "Carmen of the Spheres" for nine sine waves totalling 64 minutes 12.246 seconds for stereo speakers. This is (finally) the brand new work by Greg Fox, a first response to Edward O Wilson's "Consilience", Richard Dawkins' "Unweaving The Rainbow", Jared Diamond's "The Third Chimpanzee" and Steven Pinker's "How The Mind Works". All of these books deal with the relationship between art and science, between art and human nature, art and the world...

	(Now it's time to do) Uranus - Greg Fox This is the D-side to "Carmen of the Spheres", an aural model of the moons of Uranus as heard from the planet. This forms the fourth track of probably the world's longest CD-single. I would strongly recommend that you download the 160kbps MP3 format version of this piece, as that's just about the most appropriate format. Please note that the WAV files named after the various moons are open source materials, not the main piece.

	Gliese 581 Aural Model April 2009 - Greg Fox An aural model of the Gliese-581 planetary system (four planets as of April 2009) made using the 'Carmen of the Spheres' octave equivalence method. Basic finished data is supplied in CSV format and calculations in excel format. Keywords: Gliese; Gliese-581; 581; Greg Fox; Aural Modelling; Astronomy; Consilience Downloads: 20 Average rating: (1 review)
	Gliese581 Ringtone - Greg Fox A 30-second ringtone for use on your mobile phone, etc. Based on an aural model of the three planets of the Gliese 581 system including the newly-discovered Gliese581c "Earth-like planet". Data sheets available in plain text and Excel2000 format. Information on the method also included, or see "Carmen of the Spheres" here in the archive.

	Jupiter Distraction - Greg Fox This is the B-side to 'Carmen of the Spheres' and is a planetary acoustic simulation from the perspective of someone sitting on Jupiter with the nine largest moons creating the harmony (courtesy of the usual octave-shifting ear horns of course!) For information about how all this nonsense works, please refer to "Carmen of the Spheres". Click here to listen to the published CD in 160kbps MP3 format...

	Pompa Funebris Volume 2b - Greg Fox This is the third volume of the "Pompa Funebris" of Greg Fox from 2006. The second and third parts are extremely closely related and are therefore called volumes 2a and 2b. This is volume 2b and closes off the pair of volumes which together make volume 2. The music is chance-based and sine wave based and this volume (2b) is 59m37s in duration. Of all the music so far written around this collection, this is the one I'd like played at my own personal funeral if the occasion arises in the near futu...

	Square Roots ("The Trinity" Part Two) - Greg Fox New CD from Greg Fox (November 2006), second of the trilogy "The Trinity", which is a materialist, non-religious take on the idea of the Christian Trinity and how it might be used as a metaphor for three CDs. This, the second part, is largely based on an equal temperament division of the octave into eleven equal parts. The soundfont is included.

	Three Similar Chunks - Greg Fox This is a spin-off project based on the solar system modelling technique of "Carmen of the Spheres". Eight planets (this time) serve as the basis for this three-and-a-bit-hour project. I would recommend strongly that you only download ONE of the "three similar chunks", as they all sound broadly similar!!! This is a large body of sound for relaxation purposes, mocking the idea of "brainwaves" (YET another 'pseudo-scientific' load of *****) and bringing a kind of relaxation ethic to electronic m...

	(Trying to avoid) Saturn Distraction - Greg Fox The C-side to "Carmen of the Spheres" - a 29-minute aural planetary model based on the sound of Saturn's moons orbiting, from the perspective of 'someone' on Saturn. Interestingly, of the nine largest moons selected for this piece, Phoebe orbits backwards. To implement this, I've reversed the order of the durations whilst preserving the ascending octave succession (for more about the method, see "Carmen of the Spheres")...

	Long Night Music - Greg Fox A reductionist approach to music composition following on from "Des Éléments", but this time with acoustic guitars. Very slow, very tragic, very quiet music in a broadly tonal idiom, with all musical phenomena arising as emergent properties from the lowest level structure.

	Easter SETI - Greg Fox This is perhaps the final installment of the ongoing saga of aural planetary modelling commenced with "Carmen of the Spheres". Here, I'm applying the model to exoplanets, specifically those of Mu Arae and 55-Cancri. The workings zipfile contains preliminary material such as sequences of tones and individual chords. For more information about the literal empirical approach to aural modelling of planetary systems, please refer to my Internet Archive work "Carmen of the Spheres"...

	Love Vaginas - Greg Fox The third and final part of "The Trinity" by Greg Fox from November 2006, exclusively published via The Internet Archive. This is a single track, 77 minutes 30 seconds, for five fake instruments tuned using 11-, 13- and 19-tone equal temperament. The soundfont used to make the piece is included in this archive as is a full support document outlining the aesthetic principles underpinning the compositional approach...

	Parliament of Demons - Greg Fox This is the CD album "Parliament of Demons" by British composer Greg Fox, written 15th of September 2006. The work is in five parts: two canons, a ricercare and two crab canons. The work is based on two themes, both of which are random chance-operation based melodies for fake woodwind instruments. These themes form the basis for the entire 50-minute structure. The outer 'bracket' canons state their particular theme three times, with each new iteration being a resampled transformation in the gold...

	Reshaping the Stars - Greg Fox "Reshaping the Stars" is an allegorical consequence of the demotion (and demolition!) 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!!! The CD is formed by three chunks of sine-waves (and now for something completely different!), taking low versions of the planetary pitches and longish durations for the eight planets as their st...

	Des Éléments - Greg Fox A greedy reductionist approach to composition in which all musical phenomena are merely emergent properties of the system. Each element is simply one sine wave of an arbitrary (and randomly derived) pitch sounded for an arbitrary (and randomly derived) period followed by an arbitrary (and randomly derived) period of silence. The elements form a "construction kit" which can then be used to make music following the "Open Source Audio" model (for more see "Malhaus" by Greg Fox from 2006)...

	Incarz - Greg Fox A film by Greg Fox. Basically it's a series of clips taken with a handheld digicam without looking, often whilst driving (it's not as unsafe as it sounds). The clips were then blended using the very simplest of software until much of the film appears highly layered. Towards the end there's some stills and GIF animations introduced to the mix and throughout there are intermittent spam readings and text-subtitles...
