After Hours

Galileo's telescopic observation of the moons of Jupiter orbiting the planet  was a black swan moment for the Church's earth centred view of the universe. As ever those whose long held beliefs were challenged by the facts did not react well. Plus ca change.

But Still it Moves (John Stone)

Galileo Galileii stood before the court 
Accused of breaking sacred law
In what he said and what he thought  
They told him God had made us the centre of all things
The earth stood still, The universe
revolves around in perfect spheres and rings.

But he had seen the moons of Jupiter
Sailing through the void
And knew at once religious law
Had forever been destroyed
The power of observation
Proved the earth went round the sun
And we were not the centre of all things
as we were told we had become.

The Bishops and the Cardinals
Were outraged by the thought
That places held by God and man
Were not what they had always taught,
They forced a recantation of his controversial views
But as they dragged him from the court
He cried,“But still it moves”

Still it moves, Still it moves
But still the earth goes round the sun
Whatever you can make me say
A truth once known can’t be undone
So forget your old religions
And new ideologies
Truth is truth and only truth will I let speak to me
And still it moves… 

We’d like to think we’ve come some way 
Since those unenlightened days
But look around and count the things 
you know but are afraid to say 
In pain of media pile-ons 
And News that’s always fake 
And Those who are inclined to say 
That hate is truth and truth is hate 

It may not seem important  
But it still seems plain to me 
If you’re not allowed to speak the truth 
Then you’re no longer free 
So when they try to shout you down 
With the crazy things they say 
Remember Galileo
When he once dared to say
Still it moves…

But Still It Moves

Windswept moorland - isolated beauty with derelict sanctuary for stopping by out of the worst.....
Trios of tenor saxes and flutes swirl around a solitary clarinet with beats and bass.

Etude Ressemblent n°2

Alpha Bootis - Atria

An instrumental odyssey through the infinite. *The Endless Symphony* translates the mathematical beauty of π into music — patterns without repetition, harmony without end. Each movement explores a facet of infinity: creation, balance, entropy, and return. Through orchestral textures, ambient electronics, and minimalist design, Avaline Ingels constructs a sonic architecture that feels both divine and human — precision guided by emotion.  
Piano, harp, and strings trace circular motifs while choirs breathe in golden ratios. Tempos shift by Fibonacci values, phrases extend by digits of π, and melodies evolve like galaxies forming. The album’s structure loops perfectly: the finale’s final drone blends into the prelude’s first chord, forming a seamless circle of sound.  
*The Endless Symphony* is not a story but a mirror of eternity — a composition that, like π itself, continues forever, revealing meaning only through motion.
