ELECTRONIC COMPOSITIONS

Scott's electronic space composition & video presentation.

I composed this music in 1987 during my brief foray into the electronic medium. It is my depiction of four different types of astronomical objects: Jupiter and its moon, Io, a variety of star clusters, nebulae, and galaxies. It combines my profession (music) with my hobby (astronomy).
