Descension

This time instead of focusing on Harmony and Song Structure, I tried to create an interesting sonic texture using basic synthesizers and lots and lots of reverb. So I hope you listen to this with proper sound equipment.

The Radio chatter used in this track is a snippet from the Audio of Day 1 of Apollo 11 Mission. Neil Armstrong is talking to the base in Houston (Bruce McCandless). Here is the transcription of the comm:

Armstrong: Well, we didn't have much time, Houston, to talk to you about our views out the window when we were preparing for LM ejection; but up to that time, we had the entire northern part of the lighted hemisphere visible including North America, the North Atlantic, and Europe and Northern Africa. We could see that the weather was good all - just about everywhere. There was one cyclonic depression in Northern Canada, in the Athabaska - probably east of Athabaska area. Greenland was clear, and it appeared to be we were seeing just the icecap in Greenland. All North Atlantic was pretty good; and Europe and Northern Africa seemed to be clear. Most of the United States was clear. There was a low - looked like a front stretching from the center of the country up across north of the Great Lakes and into Newfoundland.

McCandless: Uh, roger. We copy.

Collins: I didn't know what I was looking at, but I sure did like it.

McCandless: Okay. I guess the view must be pretty good from up there. We show you just roughly somewhere around 19,000 miles out now.
