Program Note
Stars have had their sights set on me for quite some time. 
In 1989, I set to music the poem Crazy without you by the American poet Anne Waldman in which a whole series of stars are described in their various colours. In 2006, L1014 for percussion was created, inspired by Reginald Smith-Brindle's percussion composition Orion M42, and in 2022, the electro-acoustic work Albireo, which was inspired by the vastness of space. The piano composition Beta Lyrae (2023) and the electro-acoustic composition Jezero (2024) - named after a Martian crater - both received their astral titles in retrospect. And now Gesang der Sterne (Song of the Stars)! 
Since 2020, a NASA team has been working on making space tangible with the help of music. In what is known as data sonification, elements of an image are assigned pitches and volumes. Whether this process does accurately reflect the actual sound of the Milky Way can only be guessed. In space, there is nothing that can carry sound. There is absolute silence there.

Programmnotiz
Sterne haben es schon seit längerem auf mich abgesehen. 
1989 vertonte ich das Gedicht Crazy without you der amerikanischen Poetin Anne Waldman, in dem eine ganze Reihe von Sternen in ihren vielfältigen Farben geschildert werden. 2006 entstand L1014 für Schlagwerk, das von Reginald Smith Brindles Schlagzeugkomposition Orion M42 inspiriert ist, und 2022 das elektroakustische Werk Albireo, bei dem die Weiten des Alls als Anregung dienten. Die Klavierkomposition Beta Lyrae (2023) und die elektroakustische Komposition Jezero (2024) - benannt nach einem Marskrater - erhielten beide ihre astralen Titel erst im Nachhinein. Und nun Gesang der Sterne! 
Ein Team der NASA arbeitet seit 2020 daran, das All mit Hilfe von Musik erfahrbar zu machen. Bei der sogenannen Datensonifikation werden Elementen eines Bildes Tonhöhen und Lautstärken zugewiesen. Ob dieses Verfahren dem tatsächlichen Klang der Milchstraße gerecht wird, lässt sich nur vermuten. Im Weltraum gibt es nichts, das den Schall tragen könnte. Dort herrscht absolute Stille.

Disquiet Junto Project 0639: Path Ways (4 of 3)

My second piece is a cross between points 2 and 3.
As a starting piece I chose the piece by encyn, a true gem of this compilation.
I recovered what was originally supposed to be my 637, then abandoned because the track had already been chosen. In this case without channel limitations.
Starting from this 636 I followed the family tree and chose some 637s and 638s to mix on the starting track.
