"The title comes from a phrase in one of my favorite books, The Order of Time by Carlo Rovelli. Back in February 2020 while in Italy my daughter and I were fascinated by Rovelli’s poetical unfolding of relational quantum mechanics for the lay person. At that time I selected a few phrases that piqued my imagination and creativity as composition titles for a future album. Coincidentally and spontaneously one day my daughter, Ursula, snapped a photo of me in the Tuscan sunlight which turned out to be quite extraordinary and evocative. We talked about it being the cover for this album. The future has arrived . . . enjoy!

"MetaSynth is an award-winning electronic music and sound design studio for OS X. Its six "rooms" provide six unique environments for creating and manipulating sound. There is much more to MetaSynth than creating sound from pictures. See and hear it in action on our videos page. Take the Room Tour.

Image Synth. The Image Synth is our paradigm-smashing composition environment where you paint sound. With a host of available synthesis methods and nearly infinitely customizable microtonality, the Image Synth makes possible the sounds of your dreams. Take a quick Image Synth tour now.

Image Filter Room. The filtering counterpart of the Image Synth. Precise dynamic stereo filters that can create a limitless range of effects from the conventional to the otherworldly. Watch our introduction to the Image Filter. The examples were all created from the same source: Image Synth Example 2.

Spectrum Synth. The Spectrum Synth analyzes sounds and creates events that capture the original's harmonics which you can manipulate, filter and re-arrange to invent new sounds.

Effects Room. The effects room provides a new approach to sound effects. We provide both traditional effects like delay, reverb and chorus and a wealth of unusual effects like our granular synthesis-based Grain and Shuffler. Our unique graphic envelopes make it easy to turn "standard effects" into something special.

Sequencer Room. This is a lightweight non-MIDI sequencer where you can compose musical phrases and rhythm loops that you can render to disk, import into the Image Synth or add to your Montage Room compositions.

Montage Room. 24-track mixing environment. Use this room to mix down full-length compositions or to layer and composite the sounds you create in the other rooms. The Montage Room's single-window, modeless operation makes it a snap to use. Even if you use another digital audio workstation, you may find yourself using the Montage Room for quick assembly of your MetaSynth-created components."

First sound ever recorded "Au Clair de la Lune" (Spectral rework)

Uploaded on Dec 30, 2011 Anthony Distefano·258 videos

"My spectral rework of "Au Clair de la Lune" by Édouard-Léon Scott de Martinvill.The first 10 seconds is from the original recording.The remainder is the rework. I only used the original 10 second file and didn't add anything to the audio. I time stretched the file quite a bit and used Absynth and Metasynth for rework.."
