![[audio]](/images/mediatype_audio.gif) | (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.

![[audio]](/images/mediatype_audio.gif) | (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")...

![[texts]](/images/mediatype_texts.gif) | The Art of Memetics - Wes Unruh & Edward Wilson Memes are not about âcommunicationâ or transfer of data. Memes are programming instructions. They are tied to actions. Memes are just the packet on this network. And the packets are usually programs which get installed on the system that accepts them. That system is you and I. Because we are components in a very large system and made up of smaller systems and components the percentage of control we are generally capable of at least at first is really small because we are constrained both by ou...

![[audio]](/images/mediatype_audio.gif) | 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)...
