Planetary synthesis for beginners

Wow. Sounds like the soundtrack to Forbidden Planet, which was made by Bebe and Louis Barron who constructed custom circuits and messed about with them.

I second the Forbidden Planet comparison, but it also sounds like David Kristian's Cricklewood CD.

Actually the sound reminded me of some pieces I made. I´ll leave here link to an article I wrote after this one in case it may be of interest :)

The article says that the length of the sound has been compressed from 24 minutes down to 73 seconds, and the frequency has been lowered by a factor of 44! I wonder what the sound 'really' sounds like!
