Galactic Tick - Disquiet0248 by Ambient Rushton published on 2016-10-02T23:42:07Z Disquiet Junto Project 0248: Galactic Tick Celebrate the new celestial holiday in music. My brief annotation: On this one I decided to start out at 164 bpm. I kept with the suggested time limitation (1 minute 44 seconds). The sound is "kitchen sink", over-modulated on the low end. In the middle, I intentionallylet the rhythms go out a bit and them come back. Project Steps: Step 1: Read up on the Galactic Tick, a new proposed holiday exploring, as described by Popular Mechanics, “how people’s perceptions would change if they really realized the one fixed point in their celestial understanding, the mighty sun, was also in flux.” http://www.popularmechanics.com/space... http://galactictick.com/ Step 2: Devise a short piece of music in celebration of the Galactic Tick. Perhaps you’ll explore the distance of 225 million years, which is how often the Earth fully circles the center of the Milky Way. Perhaps you’ll find cosmic meaning in 1/129,600,000, which is the “centi-arcsecond” employed by the Galactic Tick planners to make the period of time more human-comprehensible. Perhaps you’ll find meaning in 633.7, which is the number of days between celebrations of the Galactic Tick here on Earth, or 1.74, which is the number of years.
