To add an extra dimension to my Celestia experience I put some sounds on!
At the moments my faves are:

'Flux and Mutability' - David Sylvian; Holger Czukay

"Dropsonde' - Biosphere

Actually something from Charpentier (Marc Antoine) or Roland de Lassus, only voices (sacred music) are just fine for me :wink:

In my astronomy classes, I put some Motorhead music.

I'm new to music so I haven't figured out what I really like yet.

Sigur R??s, David Lowe's Dreamcatcher, Pink Floyd...

LordFerret · Post #12by **LordFerret** » 31.01.2007, 06:28

Mozart usually.

But, the idea of Pink Floyd as posted above me sounds good too! Time to spin-up Echoes from Meddle and do some free-flight crusing! :wink:

Boux · Post #13by **Boux** » 31.01.2007, 19:12

Yep, Pink Floyd too, for sure.
For you guys, I have put together a version of Jean-Philippe Rameau's work for harpsichord that I have transposed for the violin, "L'Egyptienne".
It is a little diamond, a jewel, pure music.
In Rameau's time, anything sounding "Gipsy" was considered as "Egyptian".
Remember Victor Hugo's Notre Dame de Paris Esmeralda's dance.
It fits perfectly Cham's pulsars dancing magnetic fields.
Thanks Cham, this is a tribute to your work.
Enjoy!

Many lines of Celestia code were written with Sigur R??s playing . . .

That sounds like an amazing statement...

What did you like (culturally) before coming across 'music' recently? ;-)

These days it seems much harder to /avoid/ music than to consume it.

They play music even on toilets ... In my favorite beer place they play Brahms, Rachmaninov (No 3, of course ;-)

), Tchaikovsky and sometimes even Beethoven on the toilets! Very digestive stuff...

I usually go to the toilet when they start with the violoncel sonatas by Brahms, that I use to play myself ;-)

I understand that
Good beer, good place, ultimate pleasure (evacuate some beers...)

Somehow I think NatureScapes music would seem more fitting for the toilet... sounds of rain, the 'tinkling' of a stream or small waterfall? :wink:

Thinking more in terms of Celestia, I have another thought... some music by Vangelis!

Reiko · Post #18by **Reiko** » 01.02.2007, 15:13

The past day I have been watching a series called Cosmos which has music in it that made me think of Celestia. I think the music is by Vangelis.
