This piece explores the ever-changing nature of the moon. Personalizable parameters include setting a chosen date and time, which will influence the audio generated. Drawing from live moon data, including the phase, illumination and zodiac sign of the moon at the given moment, Moonsong 1.0 generates a unique and personal musical composition.
- Color parameters have also been exposed, allowing for a desired palette to be set. Contrasting colors work best. Play around and see what colors compel you.
- Be mindful of how you input date and time. If you input the wrong pattern, you will be prompted to reset and start over.
The correct patterns are:
Date: YYYY/MM/DD
Time: 24HH:MM
- If you want to randomize colors, remember to reset the correct date and time patterns once before refreshing. If not, you will be prompted to reset and start over.
This shouldn't be too big of a deal as your unique hash preserves everything for you, but it's good to keep in mind nonetheless for a more pleasant experience.
- Finally, dates set before the 1800s will be readjusted to a reliable time-space. Astrology uses celestial coordinate systems to determine the positions of celestial bodies relative to the Earth. The most commonly used coordinate system in Western astrology is the tropical zodiac, which is based on the ecliptic plane and the Earth's equator. However, the reference points and coordinate systems used in astrology have changed over time. Without accurate data, it is difficult to perform precise calculations, including those related to the Earth's axis.
The precession of the equinoxes is a slow shift in the orientation of Earth's axis of rotation. It causes a gradual change in the position of the equinoxes and the zodiac constellations over long periods of time. The effect of precession is taken into account in astrological calculations, but precise calculations require accurate historical data and reference points.
