            <description><![CDATA[Later this morning, the space probe Cassini will bring its 20 year, 4.5 billion km, multi-planet and moon mission to a final conclusion as operators on Earth dive it into Saturn's atmosphere for a final farewell.  Cassini is one of the most successful space missions ever undertaken, perhaps one of the most successful scientific collaborations in human history. To quote the NASA Jet Propulsion lab website (https://saturn.jpl.nasa.gov/mission/about-the-mission/summary/), today, Sept. 15, 2017, "the spacecraft will make its final approach to the giant planet Saturn. But this encounter will be like no other. This time, Cassini will dive into the planet’s atmosphere, sending science data for as long as its small thrusters can keep the spacecraft’s antenna pointed at Earth. Soon after, Cassini will burn up and disintegrate like a meteor.<br />
<br />
To its very end, Cassini is a mission of thrilling exploration. Launched on Oct. 15, 1997, the mission entered orbit around Saturn on June 30, 2004 (PDT), carrying the European Huygens probe. After its four-year prime mission, Cassini’s tour was extended twice. Its key discoveries have included the global ocean with indications of hydrothermal activity within Enceladus, and liquid methane seas on Titan.<br />
And although the spacecraft may be gone after the finale, its enormous collection of data about Saturn – the giant planet itself, its magnetosphere, rings and moons — will continue to yield new discoveries for decades."<br />
<br />
Farewell Cassini, you Angel of Science!<br />
My track celebrating Cassini's final day features the planet Saturn itself, in a recording of radio emissions made by Cassini and issued by NASA (https://www.nasa.gov/connect/sounds/index.html).]]></description>

            <description><![CDATA[The phrase, "The endless curve" is taken from the seminal cyberpunk novel 'Neuromancer' by William Gibson: "Case followed the direction of her gesture and saw the curve of planing lakes, the white glint of casinos, turquoise rectangles of a thousand pools, the bodies of bathers, tiny bronze hieroglyphs, all held in serene approximation of gravity against the endless curve of Freeside’s hull."<br />
Freeside is a large space habitat in the story, of a kind often encountered in science fiction and much speculated upon by writers and space scientists, known as a spindle Bernal sphere (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bernal_sphere ) The accompanying image is from a NASA archive on space habitats from 1970 and shows an 'endless curve' not quite like that described for Freeside, but rather for a ring-like station. I just liked the quirky old science art!]]></description>

            <description><![CDATA[The instant that I saw film of Dutch artist Theo Jansen's kinetic sculptures, the Strandbeests, ambulating along a stretch of Dutch beach, I fell head over heels in love with them. This is my musical homage to the walking Strandbeests!<br />
<br />
On his Strandbeest website (http://www.strandbeest.com/index.php), where you can see video of a selection of these wonderful creations, Jansen explains: "Since 1990 I have been occupied creating new forms of life.<br />
<br />
Not pollen or seeds but plastic yellow tubes are used as the basic material of this new nature I make skeletons that are able to walk on the wind, so we don't have to eat.<br />
<br />
Over time, the skeletons have become increasingly better at surviving the elements such as storm and water and eventually I want to put these animals out in herds on the beaches so they will live their own lives."<br />
<br />
Jansen also explains about his creations in a great TED talk here: https://www.ted.com/talks/theo_jansen_creates_new_creatures and has his own Youtube channel with lots of amazing examples of his incredible, visionary work: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCw4BFxLFguznor-MnYNwGTg<br />

            <description><![CDATA[Villa Villekulla is a fictional house that is the home of Pippi Longstocking, the lead character in the eponymous children's book series by the Swedish author Astrid Lindgren. Pippi lives there with her horse and monkey, Mr. Nilsson. Outside stands a tree that grows Sockerdricka, a soft drink sold in Sweden. Pippi is red-haired, freckled, unconventional and superhumanly strong – able to lift her horse one-handed. She is playful and unpredictable. She often makes fun of unreasonable adults, especially if they are pompous and condescending. My daughter enjoys being read the Pippi stories and this tune is really about Pippi!]]></description>

            <description><![CDATA[I was a fan of the original Tron film (1982) and was intrigued when the sequel Tron: Legacy was released in 2010. I enjoyed the re-entry to the Tron universe and it was great to see Jeff Bridges playing two parts, one for real as his character from the original Tron film aged to present day and, through some electronic trickery, with his younger face pasted onto a body double for his program alias.  The film featured a terrific soundtrack by Daft Punk who also had a cameo role as two masked DJs in a night club for programs in the Tron universe, The End of the Line Club. The club was MC'd by Castor, a flamboyant and vivacious program (played spectacularly by Michael Sheen). It is one of the many energy clubs found on the Grid. If I had to write a tune for the club, it would sound like this! More Tron-inspired tracks may follow.]]></description>

            <description><![CDATA[The laufmaschine (in German: Die Laufmaschine), as the first means of personal person-powered transport to make use of the two-wheeler principle, is regarded as the forerunner of the bicycle. This first machine was invented by Baron Karl Drais in Mannheim, Germany, and patented in France in February 1818. Known in English as a dandy-horse, such machines, with both wheels in-line, were propelled by the rider pushing along the ground with the feet as in regular walking or running. The front wheel and handlebar assembly was hinged to allow steering. Baron Drais named his invention as a Laufmaschine (his own terminology, German for "running machine"), and such vehicles were also called velocipedes, or draisines and, in French, draisiennes. As the forerunner of the modern bicycle, I thought it was appropriate to produce a tune to celebrate this early strand in the DNA of the modern bicycle and a fitting way to open my set of tunes inspired by cycling and bicycles, 'Velocipedia Magnifica'!<br />

            <description><![CDATA[A tune specially written for the 2017 occurrence of the annual Forth Fat fat bike beach riding gathering coordinated by my brother Bruce on the beaches and coastal trails of my beloved East Lothian. Not an organised event, its really just a lot of folk with fat bikes getting together for a couple of rides, some camping and a bit of drinking beer. The title refers to two of the locations cycled to on the Saturday ride each year - the XT mini submarine wrecks on Aberlady Bay and a particularly challenging rocky section between Gullane and Yellowcraig. With a sting in its tail. Having been to the last two Forth Fat gatherings, I sadly can't make this year's but at least can contribute some musical thoughts. Have a good weekend guys!<br />

            <description><![CDATA[A new mix of an earlier idea for this year's Capital Trail cycling event, starting in Edinburgh from 3rd June 2017. Voted by Bikepacking.com as ‘Best New Trail‘ in 2015, the Capital Trail is the perfect challenge for advanced and expert mountain bikers wanting to explore the amazing trails around Edinburgh. It can be ridden as individual time trial or as part of the annual group start.<br />
<br />
The inaugural ride of the Capital Trail took place on 13/14 June 2015 as part of the Edinburgh Festival of Cycling, and in 2016 the event took place on 1/2 October. The 2017 event will be held on 3/4 June. Organised by my friend and round the world single speed cyclist Markus Stitz, see his website for more details here: http://markusstitz.com/capital-trail/ <br />
<br />
I haven't ridden it yet and can't make it this year so the least I can do is provide a refreshed theme tune for this year's ride!<br />

            <description><![CDATA[In 2016, my good friend Will shared a photo on Facebook with the text 'Joyous water' accompanying it.  It was taken in Glen A'an in the heart of the Cairngorms National Park and is a glorious photo of a living, lively mountain cascade river pouring off the heights of the Scottish Highlands in sunshine.  I wanted to produce some music to capture the essence of that image and this is my attempt at that. Incidentally, the location is close to where my dear wife once broke her leg on botanical survey work!<br />

            <description><![CDATA[A further track in my series of tunes inspired by HBO's remarkable TV dramatisation of the Game of Thrones saga, from George R.R. Martin's 'A Song Of Ice and Fire' novels. In the story, one of the key religions, the worship of the Lord of Light, is centred on belief in the existence of two deities, in the words of Red priestess Melisandre: "A god of light and love and joy, and a god of darkness, evil, and fear, eternally at war." R'hllor is the god of fire, which provides light, heat, and life, and struggles against darkness, cold, and death, represented by an opposing deity, the Great Other. The common prayer of the followers of the Lord of Light begins, "The night is dark and full of terrors", followed by the response line, "Lord, cast your light upon us." It isn't what you might call a gentle religion though. More likely to involve human sacrifice than afternoon tea with the Vicar!]]></description>

            <description><![CDATA[This is another track inspired by the Game of Thrones TV dramatisation. "Winter is Coming" is the motto of House Stark, one of the Great Houses of Westeros. The meaning behind these words is one of warning and constant vigilance. The Starks, being the lords of the North, strive to always be prepared for the coming of winter, which hits their lands the hardest.<br />
<br />
A second meaning, one that is long forgotten, even by the Starks themselves, is that the White Walkers may return in the winter, and that the realm must always be prepared for such an event.<br />

            <description><![CDATA[From a podcast of the BBC Radio 4's science show, The Infinite Monkey Cage, I gleamed a tiny and purely qualitative view of a scientific concept that allows for the physics of Dr Who's TARDIS.  Namely, the Oppenheimer-Snyder solution of Einstein's General Relativity equations allow for a TARDIS, a finite region of spacetime in which a much larger region is contained. As they say on the Dr Who show, "It's bigger on the inside"!<br />
<br />
To quote from t'Internet: "In their classic 1939 paper, OPPENHEIMER & SNYDER introduced the first mathematical model for gravitational collapse of stars based on spherically symmetric solutions of the Einstein gravitational field equations. In this pioneering paper, OPPENHEIMER& SNYDER gave the first rigorous results describing gravitational collapse of stellar objects, and the remarkable conclusion of this work was that "black holes" could form from gravitational collapse in massive stars."]]></description>

            <description><![CDATA[From my series of tunes, 'The Music of the Spheres', a tune inspired by the recent announcement by researchers at the University of Leicester (in November 2016) that Earth’s technosphere now weighs some 30 trillion tons – a mass of more than 50 kilos for every square metre of the Earth’s surface. The number of technofossil ‘species’ now outnumbers the number of living species on planet Earth.<br />
<br />
The technosphere (sometimes also referred as the anthroposphere) is that part of the environment that is made or modified by humans for use in human activities and human habitats. The technosphere includes physical human-made structures such as houses, factories, smartphones, computers and landfill.<br />

As human technology becomes more evolved, such as the greater ability of technology to cause deforestation, the impact of human activities on the environment potentially increases. We shouldn't be proud of it.]]></description>

            <description><![CDATA[Anyone who knows me will know that my admiration for the broadcaster David Attenborough knows no bounds; stretching back to the earliest years of my television viewing history, he has been a constant feature and an ongoing inspiration.  If you haven't read his autobiography 'Life on Air: Memoirs of a Broadcaster', I thoroughly recommend it - his life in broadcasting with the BBC is a catalogue of 'firsts' - he launched BBC2, produced the first colour broadcast for BBC, the first live outside broadcast, etc. But it is his achievements in presenting series after series of world-class television programmes about wildlife and the natural world that earns my greatest respect. My own father, himself no mean professional interpreter of nature for the public, as Scotland's first local authority countryside ranger, was a great admirer and was always glued to the latest David Attenborough series on the BBC. They played a part in my own career path towards the study and subsequently the protection and conservation of our natural world.<br />
<br />
And so, as a way of rounding off the collection of tunes I have produced on subjects relating to the natural world and our interaction with it, I have been thinking for some time about how I could pay tribute to David Attenborough and his amazing body of work. I have to say its been fun preparing it, watching online snippets from old shows and so on. I have incorporated sound samples from a range of David Attenborough's shows, such as the theme tune from his early Capricorn Quest TV series, some classic quotes about life on Earth, saying 'boo' to a sloth and, my all-time favourite scene - his encounter in a small boat in the open ocean, with a blue whale. And I managed to find a sound sample of him describing one of his beloved birds of paradise in Papua New Guinea. It's been a journey full of wonder!]]></description>

            <description><![CDATA[Ötzi, also called the Iceman, is a nickname given to the well-preserved natural mummy of a man who lived around 3,300 BCE, more precisely between 3359 and 3105 BCE. The mummy was found in September 1991 in the Ötztal Alps, hence the nickname "Ötzi", near the Similaun mountain and Hauslabjoch on the border between Austria and Italy. He is Europe's oldest known natural human mummy. His body and belongings are displayed in the South Tyrol Museum of Archaeology in Bolzano, South Tyrol, Italy. His remains have been a gift that goes on giving for scientists of all kinds. One of the more recent examples is an attempt to reconstruct his voice based on CT scans of his vocal tract to work out its shape and use that to synthesis what his voice might have sounded like.

I used a part of the recording of that reconstructed voice sample to base some music around as it is a fairly rhythmic set of vowel sounds which i managed to fit with some suitably paced percussive sounds and atmospheric pads. It's a bit odd, but its also a bit experimental and hopefully I'm the first person to set Ötzi the Iceman's voice to a musical accompaniment!]]></description>
            <googleplay:description><![CDATA[Ötzi, also called the Iceman, is a nickname given to the well-preserved natural mummy of a man who lived around 3,300 BCE, more precisely between 3359 and 3105 BCE. The mummy was found in September 1991 in the Ötztal Alps, hence the nickname "Ötzi", near the Similaun mountain and Hauslabjoch on the border between Austria and Italy. He is Europe's oldest known natural human mummy. His body and belongings are displayed in the South Tyrol Museum of Archaeology in Bolzano, South Tyrol, Italy. His remains have been a gift that goes on giving for scientists of all kinds. One of the more recent examples is an attempt to reconstruct his voice based on CT scans of his vocal tract to work out its shape and use that to synthesis what his voice might have sounded like.

            <description><![CDATA[My friend Markus Stitz organises the annual Capital Trail ride, from Edinburgh, out into south Scotland's countryside, with an overnight (usually camping) stop, then back into Edinburgh. The race starts and finishes on Portobello Beach and was voted best new trail of 2015 by Bikepacking.com. The 2016 race will be held this coming weekend (1st and 2nd of October) and, having written a tune for last year's Capital Trail event (you can hear it here on Hearthis at: https://hearthis.at/scottishnatureboy-iz/capital-trail/ and its original posting on Soundcloud is here: https://soundcloud.com/cottishatureboy/capital-trail), I have revisited that 2015 track and produced a very new version which has Electro-swing and EDM elements, in addition to its original Jazzy Live House origins. Of course, Markus is now better known for having just completed a single speed bicycle ride around the world.

            <description><![CDATA[I am excited by technological possibilities like solar sails as a means of moving payloads around the solar system. What's a solar sail (a.k.a. light sail or photon sail)? A solar sail is a (still mostly conceptual) form of spacecraft propulsion using radiation pressure exerted by sunlight on large mirrors. Solar sail craft offer the possibility of low-cost operations combined with long operating lifetimes. Since they have few moving parts and use no propellant, they can potentially be used numerous times for delivery of payloads. See the Wikipedia entry here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solar_sail<br />
<br />
A solar sailing spacecraft would be the epitome of graceful and elegant transport.  It seems that a craft with a payload of 1 tonne would take around 200 days to reach Venus, hence the track title.  I dream of these craft. Someone build a big one please! Let's move beyond the models!]]></description>

            <description><![CDATA['A nugget of purest green' is actually a phrase from the BBC comedy series 'Blackadder II', and describes the result of a failed alchemy experiment to create gold. But I loved the phrase instantly, thought it might be suitable for inclusion for a set of tunes about the natural world, and used it for this piece of music which I tried to make sound organic and alive through incorporation of slightly distorted (via flanger and delay) human voices. The track is based on a soundpack in the Novation Launchpad app for IoS, called Future R&B, slowed to 110 rpm. The photo is of a rather rare (in the UK at least) nugget of purest green called a Tansy beetle (scientific name: Chrysolina graminis) and is © Steven Falk.]]></description>

He posted photos of Osaka's skyline in the wee small hours, with the title 'Insomiascapes', which struck me a a good tune title! The accompanying photo is therefore (c) Steve Hamilton as, I guess, is the title! I think anyone who has found themselves wide awake with middle of the night jetlag in their hotel in a city on the other side of the world will understand what insomniascapes are all about!  It also makes me think of the premise of the film 'Lost in translation' which is also set in Japan!]]></description>

            <description><![CDATA[After an almost five-year journey to Jupiter, the solar system’s largest planet, NASA's Juno spacecraft successfully entered Jupiter’s orbit during a 35-minute engine burn.  Confirmation that the burn had completed was received on Earth on Monday, July 4th. This track celebrates the safe arrival - Welcome to Jupiter, Juno! Sorry for the punning in the title - Juno and Paycock is a play set in Ireland. I thought, with Juno packing a huge payload of scientific instrumentation, that I had invented a nice pun for the title of this track but, sadly, several headline writers got there first. But I used it anyway.<br />
The UK's Guardian newspaper covered the successful insertion of Juno into Jupiter orbit as follows: https://www.theguardian.com/science/2016/jul/05/jupiter-nasa-mission-puts-juno-spacecraft-in-orbit-after-five-year-journey<br />
That article contains the following lovely detail: "Hitching a ride on the 3.5m by 3.5m spacecraft are three Lego crew members. The Roman god Jupiter, who drew a veil of cloud around himself to obscure his mischief, and his wife Juno, who was able to see through the clouds, are joined by a telescope-wielding Galileo Galilei, who discovered four of Jupiter’s moons." Sweet!]]></description>

In the story, The House of Black and White is a temple in Braavos dedicated to the Many-Faced God. It also serves as the headquarters of the guild of assassins known as the Faceless Men. It sits alone on a small island in the lagoon of Braavos. Although it can be reached by boat or bridge from other locations in the city, the island is usually deserted. Arya Stark served a painful and difficult apprenticeship in the temple.]]></description>

            <description><![CDATA["By leaves we live" is a line from an 1888 essay by Sir Patrick Geddes, the great Scottish biologist, sociologist, geographer, philanthropist and pioneering town planner.<br />
A fuller quote from the essay, including the line, is:<br />
 'This is a green world, with animals comparatively few and small, and all dependent on the leaves. By leaves we live. Some people have strange ideas that they live by money. They think energy is generated by the circulation of coins. Whereas the world is mainly a vast leaf colony, growing on and forming a leafy soil, not a mere mineral mass: and we live not by the jingling of our coins, but by the fullness of our harvests.'  There was a man who really understood what makes the world go round!]]></description>

            <description><![CDATA[For a long time, I had wanted to produce an instrumental track that included a message in Morse code. Then I came across a most wistful and rather poignant message from the history of Morse code use, which was the final Morse code message sent out by the French Navy in 1996, on the cessation of their use of Morse. I knew immediately that I had to use it somehow. That message was: 'Calling all. This is our last cry before our eternal silence'. Beautifully poetically French! The whole message appears in parts throughout the track.<br />
<br />
My friend Jonathan Bowes is an experienced Shortwave Radio broadcaster, very proficient in the use of Morse, and I am very grateful to him for helping me to generate the Morse code recordings used in this track. These were generated by Jonathan using the G4fon freeware produced by Ray Goff at http://www.g4fon.net/CW%20Trainer.htm. The pitch of the Morse samples is around 700Hz, equating to about an F-5 note. The track is in the key of F minor. The phrase 'calling all' in Morse Code is interesting as it is usually sent as 'CQ', a wordplay on 'seek you'. Transmitting the letters CQ at a particular radio frequency is an invitation for any operators listening on that frequency to respond. We used that convention in our Morse code here and CQ, which turns out be quite rhythmical in nature, is used at the beginning and at several points throughout the track.<br />
<br />
There is also a sound sample of shortwave radio noise, from Freesound, produced by zmobie and released under a Creative Commons 0 licence. The sound sample is here: www.freesound.org/people/zmobie/sounds/257880/<br />

            <description><![CDATA[I wanted to make some music that recognised and celebrated Britain's first astronaut to work on the International Space Station, Major Tim Peake. Major Peake is, I believe, Britain's second astronaut after Helen Sharman, although the first on the ISS. He is producing a fascinating Twitter feed and doing lots to promote science and a scientific career to young people. Great work Tim!<br />
This is the first track where I have substantially produced the sounds myself with synth apps (Arturio's iMini tribute to the Moog, and the KV331 Synthmaster Player, both on iPad Mini 2). There is also a sound sample of SW radio noise, from Freesound, produced by zmobie and released under a Creative Commons 0 licence. The sound sample is here: https://www.freesound.org/people/zmobie/sounds/257880/<br />
The launch countdown isn't from Major Peake's actual launch (I did try to source that but failed!) but is from a commercially available CD of space sound samples.<br />
And the slightly odd form of the tune title? I like the way that Scottish fiddle tunes often use slightly convoluted phrases, like 'On the first eventful visit of Miss Flora Macdonald to the city of Edinburgh' and I just fancied a gentle, whimsical tribute to that style of naming!]]></description>

            <itunes:summary><![CDATA[I wanted to make some music that recognised and celebrated Britain's first astronaut to work on the International Space Station, Major Tim Peake. Major Peake is, I believe, Britain's second astronaut after Helen Sharman, although the first on the ISS. He is producing a fascinating Twitter feed and doing lots to promote science and a scientific career to young people. Great work Tim!
This is the first track where I have substantially produced the sounds myself with synth apps (Arturio's iMini tribute to the Moog, and the KV331 Synthmaster Player, both on iPad Mini 2). There is also a sound sample of SW radio noise, from Freesound, produced by zmobie and released under a Creative Commons 0 licence.

            <description><![CDATA[A couple of years ago in April, I took our dog for an early morning walk in our local park in Stirling. The sun was shining brightly, the sky was blue and the air was alive with Spring-time birdsong, from the resident blackbirds, song thrushes, chaffinches, great tits, robins, dunnocks and wrens, to the summer visitors from the south, the willow warblers, chiffchaffs and blackcaps. The overwhelming visual stimulus was green-ness, lots of hues of light green new deciduous growth bursting through the cooler dark greens of the evergreen yew, holly and ivy that had soothed the eye all winter long. There was such an overwhelming throng of new life, of growth, courtship, singing and nesting, that it felt like a great green heart was beating, as Spring thrust its way out from the shackles of Winter.

            <description><![CDATA[Siccar Point near Dunbar in eastern Scotland is the key location where the 'father of geology' James Hutton found, in 1788, the evidence to support his world-changing scientific theory that geological processes required immense periods of time over which to operate to create the geological structures he was observing. As well as being an important step forward for earth sciences, this 'revelation' was also a crucial discovery for biology as it provided Charles Darwin with a realistic time scale over which his theory of natural selection could operate. I grew up a few miles up the coast from Siccar Point and I am pleased to be able to celebrate this major scientific discovery in my 'hood by way of an ambient tune.

            <description><![CDATA[This was the 100th track I posted to my original Soundcloud site and, as such, I wanted to do something (a) with a theme based around the number 100 and (b) a bit different.  The idea of a track based on a Roman Centurion appealed. In the armies of Ancient Rome, a Centurion was an officer in charge of a unit of 100 soldiers, although that number actually varied a bit through Roman history, between 80 and 200 soldiers.  When I was looking around for ideas, I came across Rudyard Kipling's poignant poem 'The Roman Centurion's Song' and then, rather wonderfully, I discovered that there was a readily available recording of Kipling reading the poem which I was able to incorporate into the track. I also found, on Youtube, a recording of someone playing a contemporary copy of a carnyx, the tall boar-headed bronze trumpet of the Celts which would, doubtless have formed part of the soundscape of battlefields in Britain during the Roman occupation. So that became part of the soundscape of this track too. You can read the poem here: http://www.kiplingsociety.co.uk/poems_romancenturion.htm and hear Kipling reading it here (for example): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V31340OUCI0 <br />
The sound of the carnyx, the gentleman speaking what I assume is some ancient Celtic language, and the simulated battle sounds all come from this Youtube video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=trJWwO7-K2E]]></description>

            <description><![CDATA[In producing this track, it made me think of the difficulty that I have encountered intermittently for the last couple of years, in sleeping through the whole night. On occasion, lying awake in the wee small hours, I have tried following a guided meditation for insomnia based on the discipline of yoga nidra, from YouTube, lying in bed with earbuds in to avoid waking my wife. It generally works to get me back to the Land of Nod, but invariably I find my thoughts wandering off the meditation and then zoning back in again, several times during the session. This track reflects the interruption of the meditation by random interventions, eventually ending in a static crackle as I drift off to sleep.]]></description>

            <description><![CDATA[A slightly quirky sounding tune named for the motto of a slightly quirky but very important group of folk called with rather extreme graveyard humour, "The Poison Squad". The Squad was a group of 12 young men established by Harvey Washington Wiley (1844 – 1930), a noted American chemist best known for his leadership in the passage of the landmark Pure Food and Drug Act of 1906. The Poison Squad was set up to study the effects of a diet consisting in part of the various preservatives on human volunteers, i.e. testing food additives on themselves! These famous "poison squad" studies drew national attention to the need for a federal food and drug law in the USA. Wiley was the first commissioner of the United States Food and Drug Administration.  I just loved the 'Just do it' attitude of Wiley and his squad in their attempts to protect consumers, and thought it deserved a tune in recognition!]]></description>

Around the time I produced that tune, I heard a marine biologist talking about coral reefs on BBC Radio 4's Today, the BBC's flagship daily news radio show. He asked the listeners to imagine what coral reefs looked like from the perspective of small marine fish and invertebrates, like shrimps. And he used the wonderfully descriptive phrase "stinging walls of death" to paint that picture in our minds!]]></description>

            <description><![CDATA[The title of this piece is a quote from Llewellyn Powys (1884-1939), a British novelist and essayist, and refers to his atheist beliefs. I am greatly moved by his following outlook from "A Philosophical Poet":<br />
<br />
"No sight that the human eyes can look upon is more provocative of awe than is the night sky scattered thick with stars. But this silence made visible, this silence made audible, does not necessarily give rise to a religious mood. It may evoke a mood that neither requires nor postulates a God. On frosty January nights when I walk over the downs I feel myself to be passing through a lofty heathen temple, a temple without devil-affrighting steeple bells, without altars of stone or altars of wood. Constellation beyond constellation, the unaltering white splash of the Milky Way, and no sign of benison, no sign of bane, only the homely hedgerow shadows and the earth's resigned stillness outstretched under the unparticipating splendour of a physical absolute."]]></description>

'The city engine' was one such phrase that I recently heard at a conference in Glasgow on green infrastructure. CityEngine (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CityEngine) is actually a 3D) modelling software application developed by Esri and is specialized in the generation of 3D urban environments. With the procedural modeling approach, CityEngine supports the creation of detailed large-scale 3D city models. I envisaged instead the concept of a steampunk city kept going by a single large engine and this picture seemed highly appropriate.

            <description><![CDATA[On 28th October 2015, the NASA/ European Space Agency spacecraft Cassini made an amazing ultra-close fly-by of Enceladus, a moon of Saturn, flying just 49km above the moon's smooth icy surface, and this track acknowledges the remarkable scientific feat!  Cassini was attempting to sample one of the watery plumes jetting out of Enceladus. This small moon, subjected to extreme tidal stresses from the pull of Saturn and others of the moons, exhibits geothermal heating and has a 10km deep ocean of water. This, along with Jupiter's icy moon Europa, makes Enceladus one of the potentially best candidates for finding extraterrestrial life in our solar system.<br />
A really remarkable space mission. We truly do live in a time of scientific wonders! Incidentally, the fresh, clean ice that dominates its surface gives Enceladus probably the most reflective surface of any body in the Solar System. Because it reflects so much sunlight, the mean surface temperature at noon only reaches −198 °C!<br />

            <description><![CDATA[I have wanted to do something for ages based around Europa, the somewhat mysterious fourth-largest moon of Jupiter. Europa appears to be covered in a thick layer of water ice and may have a planet-spanning water ocean under its ice, kept liquid by heat generated by the gravitational contortions exerted on the moon by Jupiter. This makes it the most likely candidate body in the Solar System for locating extraterrestrial life. I have tried to hint in this track, that the ocean of Europa is teeming with life! This piece contains two sound samples from the Freesound community, both made available under an Attribution licence. I am therefore grateful to acknowledge the inclusion here, as fanciful Europan sea behemoths, of the sound sample 'Whale' by Tritus (https://www.freesound.org/people/Tritus/sounds/186899/) and (the deep rumbling roars of) 'Nemean Roar' by rifthead (https://www.freesound.org/people/rifthead/sounds/240311/) who requests that users credit www.laughingwiththestorm.net. I am grateful to both of these contributors for their generous sharing of sounds! In reality, any life under the ice of Europa would most likely be very simple and very small. But you never know...

            <description><![CDATA[Music inspired by the Revelation Space novels of Alastair Reynolds. This title comes from a storyline that takes place on the lighthugger Nostalgia for Infinity, a massively powerful and heavily armed 'Ultra' vessel, travelling towards the Delta Pavonis system at close to the speed of light (hence lighthugger). Incidentally, the Delta Pavonis solar system features in another science fiction series, as the home system of Paul Atreides in the 'Dune' series by Frank Herbert.

            <description><![CDATA[The image here is from a painting "At the water's edge" by Emmanuel Benner (1836 – 1896), a French artist {and noted decorator of ceramics}, and I really like it. I wrote this tune one lunchtime while sitting in the sun on a rock by the pond on the business park where I work in Stirling. Something of the surroundings seems to have made its way into the tune, with sound effects like frogs and insects appearing and a real watery vibe (in my opinion anyway). It's the first time, other than travelling on trains, where the location seems to have influenced a tune as I have been creating it. ]]></description>

I don't think drum and bass is really my thing though. I don't listen to it "out there" in the real world.]]></description>
