Dom, this composition you included captures something of the Zeitgeist, I believe. The textures are incredible. TBH I listened to it on my phone speakers; I know I have to listen with headphones...but I'm sort of ...afraid.

Thank you Su Terry, those words mean a lot. In terms of being afraid, fear not, though as someone who grew up in England, you have just given me the perfect excuse to quote Shakespeare!

Be not afeard; the isle is full of noises,

Sounds and sweet airs, that give delight, and hurt not.

Sometimes a thousand twangling instruments

Will hum about mine ears;

I really enjoyed this composition. It feels like space ambient mixed with wind chimes and a Shepard tone. It's kind of calming. Maybe I've been listening to too much ambient music. Nah.

I love the story of Pythagoras and the blacksmith too! I hadn't heard that before.

This is a very nice reply. I had not thought about the Shepard tone's similarity, and that makes sense in terms of the maths. It does kind of create messy Shepard tones.

Oh that’s interesting that the maths turned out that way. The science behind sound and how we make music with it is fascinating.
