Somaesthetic sentience by Tuonela

“The future is there... looking back at us. Trying to make sense of the fiction we will have become.” ― William Gibson

.......

“Dwell on the beauty of life. Watch the stars, and see yourself running with them.” ― Marcus Aurelius

My God, it's full of stars!" is a famous line from Arthur C. Clarke's 1968 novel 2001: A Space Odyssey (Chapter 39), uttered by astronaut David Bowman as he enters the alien monolith. While iconic, this exact phrase is notably absent from Stanley Kubrick’s film adaptation, becoming a lasting point of discussion.

Made for Naviar Records' 635th Haiku Challenge from some sonic bits and pieces.

"Cyberspace. A consensual hallucination experienced daily by billions." - William Gibson

Back in the dark ages, my early copy of Audacity was set up - accidentally, incorrectly but fortuitously - so that audio recorded on it would go into a reverberation feedback loop, controlled by the volume input.

I used it during the recording of an interview with William Basinski (whose monumental Disintegration Loops are about to be re-released) in 2013. This piece, recorded in full but unreleased, begins with some of the resulting track, then uses extracts, stretches and cut-ups made from it. The sound sources are Basinki's voice and some short passages of his work.
