Oye. Here are the last "Booktracks" of this year.
This project follows on from "A wide continuous area of something" and "Perturbed Trajectories", fuelled by the exploration of "The Expanse" by James S. A. Corey.
The first four pieces reflect on Jim Holden's way of seeing the world - when (quote) "(he)...saw some poetry in that." about that passage from "Leviathan Wakes":
"So now the Canterbury and her dozens of sister ships in the Pur'n'Kleen Water Company made the loop from Saturn's generous rings to the Belt and back hauling glaciers, and would until the ships aged into salvage wreks."
The last piece, "Apollo Jam", is an essay on what a live play could sound like at 'The Blue Frog' on Ceres, over an audio-clip from the still-influential first moon mission (note: Analogue-synth sounds are still famous hundreds of years in the future).
Thank you, NASA for releasing those "Apollo 11 Onboard" audio materials:
