March's mission will be based on this image, nominated by Amos:


Set the controls for the heart of the sun.

A montage of sounds from stellar pulsations... the actual vibratory waves of near and distant stars, translated into the audible spectrum. These sounds were spatially-processed in Audiomulch, and mixed via Audiomulch automation with multilayered instrumental tracks written in Reason. Preliminary mix put together while recuperating from a knee injury... lending a solemn and poignant air to the progression. File is a draft, subject to change as mix is completed.

During a solar flare, intense electromagnetic radiation relentlessly buffets and glances off of earth's atmosphere. I tried to reflect this in the sounds I used in this piece. I would like to have had more time to work on mixing and arrangement, but time is in short supply these days.

this song is for my dad- its such a mess! everything is first take making it up as i go, no quanitizing, rushed mixing- argggh- it needs to be completely redone! But it is on time and i did participate :) I miss you dad

Here's a typical Reason job. It's relatively simple as I couldn't add any more sounds - 3.0 is more demanding on the CPU (I need a new computer!). This song conveys an image of a spaceship flying towards the Sun, its pilots inexplicably mesmerized by the beauty of the solar flares. They all die.

Hi. This is a song that I think best resembles a supernova explosion. I was inspired by that sun picture. It's a nice shot. I hope you guys like it.

One ship was too close when the flare erupted. What were they hearing as they crossed over?
