Music for Unfathomable Jovian Depths




"Even as he fell through the roaring heart of the Great Red Spot, with the lighting of its continent-wide thunderstorms detonating around him, he knew why it had persisted for centuries though it was made of gases far less substantial than those that formed the hurricanes of Earth.  The thin scream of hydrogen wind faded as he sank into the calmer depths, and a sleet of waxen snowflakes - some already coalescing into barely palpable mountains of hydrocarbon foam - descended from the heights above.  It was already warm enough for liquid water to exist, but there were no oceans there; this purely gaseous environment was too tenuous to support them."  - from 2010: Odyssey Two by Arthur C. Clarke

I created this little piece with using some randomly generated MIDI files, a little bit of selective tweaking, a sound from the Freesound Project, and a number of effects in Ableton Live.

I used the sample Midnight Twilight.
