This is a stereo mix of a 64-channel installation piece for public spaces. It also functions as an hourly, harmonic clock. When started at the top of an hour, it repeats every 60 minutes and you can always tell the minutes after the hour by the embedded harmonic code. The code was derived from astronomer and mathematician Johannes Kepler's (unfortunately incorrect) Platonic-solid model theory of celestial mechanics as related in his book, "Mysterium Cosmographicum," published in 1596.
