Hi there,

I thought I would try writing a techno song.  I am making it available for a
limited time at the following site (~3.3 Meg):

http://reality.sgi.com/hpm_cfdevsun/tekwrld.mp3

Essentially all of the sounds were originally created with Csound except for
a sample of my voice which was used for the vocoder part.  Many of the
sounds were then modified with Cool Edit.  Once I had accumulated a large
number of samples I put them together with a multi-track digital audio
program.  The following short story or idea goes with this song.


Teknology World
by Hans Mikelson

Of the marvels of the multi-verse Teknology World is one of the most
impressive.  It is the only known Dyson sphere.  It was constructed long ago
by a lost race.  A Dyson sphere is a sphere which has been constructed
around a star.  The energy needs of the creators eventually grew so great
that they developed a method for direct conversion of matter to energy.  The
"lyric" is taken from a tour of the energy center of the sphere.

"Below us is the energy center for much of the world.  These reactors
perform the direct conversion of matter to energy."

The world's automation is still at least partially functional although the
creators have apparently moved on.



Please let me know if you like it.  Also since I do not have a detailed
knowlege of techno sub-genres perhaps someone could tell me what techno
sub-genre my song is.

Bye,
Hans Mikelson
