Binary Dust
Music by Gavin Starks
"your music has just knocked me sideways and I'm enchanted", said someone fab Searching for something ambient, experimental, and a bit unusual? Binary Dust is music built around a sonic interpretation of cosmology: a 'soniverse' (a sonic universe with its own physics, particles and curvature). It builds on the ideas behind 'Music of the Spheres' and if we can explore the shape and curvature of space through music. Developed since 1993 by Gavin Starks (BSc Astrophysics, MMus Computer Music, former researcher at Jodrell Bank Radio Observatory) working with astrophysicist Prof Andy Newsam (Liverpool John Moores University, National Schools' Observatory), the work has presented at the Royal Astronomical Society, at Jodrell Bank's 50th anniversary, at a reclaimed 32m Soviet-era radio telescope (RT32) in a Latvian forest, among other places, across five continents. Expect something that sort of lands somewhere between Tim Hecker, Brian Eno & Alva Noto, with some parallels in Ryoji Ikeda's data sonification work (note: these works are *not* sonifications). A decade after his EMF talk on the theory, Gavin returns with the music. > binarydust.org for free downloads, streams, images, words, animations, and more.
