crookedindifference: The Solar System set to Music
Mandala (A Musical Palindrome), by Daniel Starr-Tambor
With more than 62 vigintillion individual notes, “Mandala” is the longest palindrome in existence. Composed using the first nine partials of the Natural Harmonic Series repeating at the accelerated tempos of our solar system, Mandala would continue without repetition for over 532.25 septendecillion years. In homage to “Art of the Fugue” by J.S. Bach, “Mandala” has been crafted to include the “musical signature” of it’s author: the stereo imaging is arranged to reflect the exact position of the solar system at the moment of his birth, from the perspective of the Sun as it faces the constellation Libra, so that each note chronicles his birthday on every planet.
The sound of a page turning is music to my ears. Perhaps we’re too absorbed in the printed words to even notice that we are the world’s greatest musicians. We compose silent symphonies of urgency, of anticipation and suspense as we fall in love with the printed words, merging fiction and reality to create a world that’s entirely our own. We absorb each and every word as our gentle fingertips flip through the countless pages, the countless novels; we’re free from distractions and from time.
We may be lovers of words and of life, but that is not all we are. We are a pair of open ears, we are composers, and we will always be the world’s most silent musicians.
