Zeta Carinae

The periods of the orbits of Mars and Earth aren't in an obviously special relationship, but they are pretty close to a 47:25 ratio. If they were on circular orbits (not very true for Mars) and had that period ratio, then the picture below would show the position of Mars from the point of view of the Earth:

A sonic realization of the experience of trying to write mathematical software while fighting distractions.

Nobel Prize Nomination

For the 2025 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine I'd like to nominate all of the graduate students in those fields who have spent literally millions of hours doing painstaking, detailed, difficult, and bizarre tasks and experiments. Science (and math) is a team effort. Prizes to individuals do not make much sense. In 2010, Grigori Perelman declined the $1,000,000 Clay Prize for his proof of the Poincare Conjecture, because he considered it unfair for one individual to be rewarded for it. I've been thinking about that truly remarkable act ever since; I think we need to reconsider the entire structure of how we reward scientific research in light of how it is a communal effort.

Somewhat meditative new track. Feedback is appreciated.

[zetacarinae]

Different direction, tried to write a stoner doom track and ended up as usual somewhere else.

This track features a synthesized bell-like sound modeled on the harmonic partials present in the Dumery bells of the main belfry in Bruges, Belgium, cast in the 1740s. I took the information on these bells from the fantastic article "Sound, Pitches, and Tuning of a Historic Carillon" by Albrecht Schneider and Marc Leman.

Delays, delays, delays, ....

[zetacarinae]

Never sure how to tag my compositions...dark ambient?

[zetacarinae]

New album, feel free to tell me what you think about it.

[zetacarinae]

I guess its one of my weirder tracks; it all comes from noise.

[zetacarinae]

Deliberately odd mix, so it might sound strange on some speakers. Let me know. I'm thinking of adding some other element to this.

[zetacarinae]

Trying to write a dark danceable track...this is really for a live set, which would be more spread out (longer) as I add in and manipulate the components.

[zetacarinae]

What mood is this?

[zetacarinae]

My eleventh album, Splitting Field.

[zetacarinae]

Bouncy new number...

[zetacarinae]

In a separate reality, in the next James Bond film agent 007 is captured by AIs and they attempt to infiltrate his mind...and I am asked to write the theme...

[zetacarinae]

I like it, I don't know how to classify it. ambient-doom-synth? You tell me.
