Chuck Van Zyl
Celestial Mechanics
Album UK 1993 on Centaur Discs label
Electronic (Ambient)
Celestial Mechanics has placed our moon 400 times closer to Earth than the Sun, yet the Sun is 400 times the diameter of the Moon; therefore, the two appear to be the same size in the sky. Of all the planets, moons and asteroids in the solar system, our planet Earth is the only place where an observer can actually experience the Sun being totally eclipsed by the Moon. Equipment used for 'Celestial Mechanics': Korg SQD-1, Korg EX 8000, Oberheim Xpander, Oberheim Matrix 6, Oberheim Matrix 6R, Yamaha TX81Z, Kawai K4R, Alesis HR16, Alesis Microverb, MXR 1500, Digitech 7.6, Toshiba DX-900. All synthesizers were controlled by a SQD-1 MIDI sequencer and mixed directly from the board to a PCM recorder. Tracks 1 and 4 ℗ 1990 by Synkronos Music Tracks 2 and 3 ℗ 1989 by Synkronos Music BMI ℗ 1989/90 Chuck Van Zyl © 1993 Centaur Discs Ltd.
