Comments
The result was a 4 hour long absolutely non-commercial piece of music that took it easy. Stars are not particularly busy. That's why we decided to compress it with a factor of 9.6, so that the result could be compressed onto a cassette tape. The sound sources are the result of DIEM'S and Bo Astrup’s sample libraries.
Comments
