I remixed some of that music to make this piece.

Bow Shock

Remixed version of Lee Scott's performance of Erik Satie's 'Gymnopedie 3', copyright Lobe Current Music.

Gymnopedie 3.1

Composed by John Baez using Greg Egan's 'Quasimusic' software.

Shimmer

A piece made with the help of Greg Egan's QuasiMusic program, which translates quasicrystals into sound. Except for the fade-in and fade-out, I only used 'translation-invariant processing' to generate this from the output of this program. So, no moment-to-moment fiddling around, or 'bursts of inspiration', were used to music: the melody and background are all generated from a certain 1-dimensional slice of a 7-dimensional hypercubic lattice.

Callisto

Music made using Greg Egan's QuasiMusic program, which translates quasicrystals into sound.
