about

Back in the mid 70’s the British Interplanetary Society did a study to design a plausible, unmanned interstellar spacecraft. The idea was that they had
to use existing or near-future technologies (no flights of fancy, no Star Trek) to build what would ostensibly be a deep-space probe, but the probe had
to be able to reach its destination within a human lifetime. The target of the probe would be Barnard’s Star in the constellation Ophiuchus. Barnard’s
Star is only 6 light-years away, and the ship was supposed to make the journey in 50 Earth years. Obviously, the ship never really got built. How can you
build something that uses near-future technologies in its fabrication?

But what if it had been? And what if it had been sent on its voyage? What kind of images would it have sent back?

about

Scott Lawlor Albuquerque, New Mexico

I am an ambient artist who composes in many sub-genres such as dark and light ambient, solo piano, cosmic drone, avant-garde and noise music both as a solo artist and as a collaborating partner. My music is created with intentionality, creating a sonic space for the unfolding of personal stories as well as exploration of spiritual and cultural themes which profoundly influence our society. ... more
