Untitled playlist.   L  E. W

The core of our Milky Way galaxy is densely packed with gas, dust, stars and stellar remnants, but its centerpiece is a monster black hole with a mass of 4 million Suns called Sagittarius A* (pronounced “A-star”). This sonification tracks an image of the galactic center captured by NASA’s Chandra X-ray Observatory.

The translation begins on the left side of the image and moves to the right, with sounds representing the positions and brightness of the sources. Objects located toward the top of the image play as higher pitches, while their brightness determines the volume. X-rays seen by Chandra reveal gas heated to millions of degrees from stellar explosions and outflows from Sagittarius A*.

The Planets is an introspective journey re-imagining our nearby worlds. The tracks combine mythological lore with our modern scientific understanding of these worlds as real places.

From the 2008 album "Knock on the sky and listen to the sound"

http://danieldorobantu.bandcamp.com/album/knock-on-the-sky-and-listen-to-the-sound

"This suggestively titled album espouses Daniel’s previous immersions in the realm of ambient exploration and playful contemplation. Recorded in 2007-2008, the atmospheric, dreamy patterns resemble glimpses at the gardens of a Zen mind. Appearing free of purpose or any other corrupting intention, the project uses improvisation and generative techniques to create vibrant spaces where one could discover his own home.
But to enter, one must first knock."

Nostromo

I am a classically trained composer living in Madison, Wisconsin. I work primarily in the electronic medium with samplers, synthesizers, and computer-based sound production. I compose mainly for contemporary dance and performance art, as well as for meditation and yoga. But I have also written a large number of works for traditional instrumental ensembles. 

My music is available on iTunes, Amazon  and CDBaby. Visit my website at musicformindfulness.com
