This is not a traditional song. It is structured according to math. Each collection of tone sounds when the planet it represents enters another moment in it's orbit. Middle Age seers and astrologers discussed the Music of the Spheres since the times of the Pythagoreans. It wasn't until 1619 when Johannes Kepler published his opus: Harmonices Mundi, that anyone tried to draw the definitive conclusion regarding geometry, astral phenomenon and musical ratio. This song takes Kepler's music, fully intact, and uses the ratio of each planet's orbital period to guide when each tone should chime. It also uses the same math to determine the correct pitches for the two unknown planets at that time(Uranus and Neptune). The ever present Sun provides a drum track based on its wobbling caused by the enormous gravity of Jupiter (Jupiter pushes the Sun off its Barycenter). S1ne Language took all this data and added the necessary palette of an artist to decide what you hear and when. Somewhat like traditional mixing techniques.
