finally ... webpage about monz's Solar System piece

hi Joe Pehrson, and anyone else who's interested,

after only 3 years, i've finally made a webpage about
my Solar System piece ... which is *still* in only the
most rudimentary form, compared to the wonderfully dynamic
piece that i hope to eventually turn it into.

http://sonic-arts.org/monzo/solarsystem/solar-system.htm

... and please be forewarned that this webpage was also
a "quickie", and i plan to make it much better in future
updates.

(Joe, i singled you out because, of all those who have
commented on this piece, you have been by far the most excited
about it. i figured you'd want to bookmark this page.)

Do you know Laurie Spiegel's 1977 Kepler's "Harmony Of The Planets"
(computer realization of Kepler treatise)? A sample of this is on
the NASA "golden record" for the Voyagers.

***Hi Monz,

Yes, surely I'm an appropriate "space cadet" for this work. I hadn't
heard Robert Walker's "enhancement" either. What are the small
loud "blips" that occur every now and then?? Did a comet get in?

In any case, one of the more remarkable aspects of this project was
the fact that it was really "web-art" of a certain kind. I remember
the weekend that you stayed up all night and posted throughout the
night as well, so that people could follow along, almost like a kind
of "happening" or at least an "event" of some kind.

So *that* was a dimension of the artwork for *me* as well.

Thanks again, and, yes, it has a bookmark...

Joe

I think it would eventually make a wonderful soundscape/sound
installation in the San Francisco Exploratorium. Ya might even get a nice lil grant for
it... or even two nice lil ones (one art/music, one science)!!!...

Psst!, Monz!! FYI, Joe is not the only "space cadet" on this here list
::wink-wink nudge-nudge:: and definitely some of us are space aliens --- or
possessed by them... mwahaha...

I hafta say I vaguely recall when ya (Monz) started this project 3 yrs
ago :)
And I gotta give credit where credit is due: it is you - & Kraig, Paul-E. and
John Chalmers - who have either inspired or goaded me to do lot more
"research" into "new" interests such as the recent Black Hole Frequency and other neat
cosmological discoveries/ideas * .
I guess these interests tie in with a certain Chinese "instinct"
(tongue-firmly-in-cheeky-cheek) for programmatic, philosophized music and tunings...

So thanx, Monz

* [kinda makin' up for all the science and math classes I played traunt
from doin' my own "science experiments" - blowin' up some major real estate &
other things &/or settin' 'em on fire (and makin' a profit from it, too) - and
my own "real life basic math" - subtractin' candy, cigs & alcohol from store
shelves at a major 5-to-10 finger discount & re-sellin' 'em at indecent 120%
mark-ups on school turf and hirin' "Heckle & Jekyl", glue-sniffin' Ramone-clone
twins, to rough up any competition. Growin' up in Houston, TX taught me that
capitalism, at its finest and most unrestrained, is organized crime ;) it
really brings out the best and brightest of the bottom of the barrel like nothing
else...]
