"The atmosphere shimmered emerald green with aurora that night, from horizon to horizon, it filled the sky. A single point was visibly pulsing a dazzling array of coulor. It would be the last signal that the Arecibo observatory would receive before it was crippled. Some suspected that the damage was inflicted intentionally to prevent further communications from being heard. This massive dish was uniquely apt at sucking in the singing, broad spectrum signal. Flaring with great intensity, Proxima Centauri, a low mass, main sequence star, was somehow transmitting a bizarre data stream. Nobody seemed to be able to translate it into useful information, yet there could be no doubt that the star was pulsing with this sort of, obviously ordered transmission. Just shy of an hour, the recording presented such a startling rhythm, and the strangest alien sounding melody, that the scientists tasked with trying to decode it would play the audible portion of the spectrum as they worked. In fact it was leaked and soon became a popular hit on all of the planets top 40 charts somehow, everyone seemed to become obsessed with it’s hypnotic draw. Almost overnight it was nearly impossible to escape it, as it was broadcast 24 hours a day on every frequency, it leapt from boomboxes, drive through speakers, car stereos, and clip on speakers, that began to hang from crowds of distracted pedestrians. It echoed out of minarets, church steeples, it was on the subway, at the grocery store, in the elevator, blaring thinly from every phone, tablet, and laptop. Gogo Kempf, one of the antenna's engineers, somehow knew, like a very select few that from the moment he heard it, that he had to stop it, he had to shut down the mountain, and disable the massive dish, and quick..."

Proxima Calling (pt 2)

Musician. Can't really sing but I do it anyway.

Your hiatus from the hustle and bustle… with a side of silliness.

“Fresh and innovative” – Guitar Girl Magazine

Melissa Durkee Moorhouse, known artistically as Melissa D, hails from the rolling hills of rustic Vermont, USA. Her music is earthy, chill, and holistic—perfect for those seeking calm, connection, and a touch of lighthearted fun.

A classically trained vocalist, Melissa’s journey spans from fronting the rock band The Alley Katz, where she shared the stage with musicians like Joe Moore (Pork Tornado—Jon Fishman of Phish) and Benjamin Orr (The Cars), to co-creating the folk-rock collaboration CHILL with Michael Cressey.

Since 2016, Melissa has quietly forged her own musical path, recording and releasing her solo work from her small rural home in New England. Partnering with producers Clint Bierman (The Grift), Kristina Stykos, Phil Henry and most recently Colin McCaffrey, she has chosen to bypass the traditional industry grind—big tours, record deals, and relocation—in favor of an independent, soul-driven approach.

Despite no label, corporate sponsorship, or major promotion, Melissa D's soothing, heartfelt songs have reached thousands of listeners worldwide. Her music has been featured on Vermont Public, Women of Substance Radio, and Sip-N-Stream, among others. Her song "Little Girl" (the title track from her solo EP) was nominated for Best Song of America (American Roots genre) in the 2021 InterContinental Music Awards.

Beyond music, Melissa is deeply committed to animal rescue and humanitarian causes. She dedicated 20 years to public service as a counselor and advocate, making a lasting impact on countless lives.

Se oggi,mentre noi possediamo forse mille macchine diverse, possiamo distinguere mille rumori diversi,domani,col moltiplicarsi di nuove macchine,potremo distinguere dieci,venti o trentamila rumori diversi,non da imitare semplicemente, ma da combinare secondo la nostra fantasia. Luigi Russolo, "L'Arte dei rumori", 1916.

Just like the photons that were created more than 13 billion years ago traveling at what we thought was a Cosmological Constant, time is an illusion. Were you that photon, you would not experience any time at all, the journey would happen in less than an instant. In fact everything to a photon moving at the speed of light happens in less than an instant, things do not appear or disappear, they are not created or destroyed, they just are, infinitely. The universe and everything that was ever and will ever begin and end, Is, infinitely.

When we get in touch with the present, we can be with the Is, all of the possible futures and pasts unfold before us, time and space are one and at once both static and dynamic. There are an infinite amount of ways to experience the Is, these are a few of our explorations of the Infinite Is.

Sit or lay down in a quiet place. Close your eyes, be still, and empty your mind of thoughts. As the music plays, focus only on it. Try to pick out as many things in the sounds that you can.
