LUTETIA

Quadrophonic track for MAKE MUSIC IN SPACE.

Each sound is orbiting through the sonic quadrophonic space, matching the orbit of 9 planets and 3 asteroids compared to that of Earth. I used Earth orbit as 1 second, corresponding to 1 Earth year.

The melodies you hear are my three favorite asteroids and their orbital periods- Lutetia, Mathilde, and Ida.

You are listening from the perspective of the sun, as the solar system breathes
and rotates with music around you.

I used the OB-6, Lyra-8, and a water sample in Ableton.
