After about 5 months of producing Opus Magnanimous, I realize that I am rushing the composition of my music, and don't have sufficient time to create the best possible podcast! So the new schedule will be every 2 months!

Episode 11 of Opus Magnanimous. History of the Cosmos in Music is a tutorial or descriptive narrative explaining how I use electronic effects with my electric violin, and then how I organize or catalog the patches of effects and sound settings so they can be recalled for future projects or performances quickly and easily. The could be useful for other musicians or producers who use multi-effects pedals.

Going back to Ancient Mesopotamian pre-astronomy and the influence of ancient god worship, then jumping to the present successful images received from the NGST, the Next Generation Space Telescope. About the new space telescope, the materials used to create the mirrors, and looking at NASA research continuing that enables us to understand what to be prepared for in our future.
