Earth (4th miniature from Patrick Nunn's 'Music of the Spheres')

Available on CD from http://www.redsockrecords.com, http://www.cdbaby.com/nunn2 and digitally from i-tunes

Music of the Spheres is a set of miniatures that explore the combination of piano with beautiful and exotic sounds produced from the sonification of scientific data collected from space. Working with physicists from Iowa University and scientific data from spacecrafts such as Voyager I and II, Patrick Nunn skillfully and sympathetically scores the sounds alongside piano presented here for the first time on this unique recording.

Thalia Myers is an internationally renowned pianist and a lifelong champion of new music commissioning over a hundred and fifty new works, including the Spectrum anthologies for piano, published by the Associated Board of The Royal Schools of Music, and the Chamber Music Exchange, available from the British Music Information Centre (incorporated into Sound & Music from 18 May 2009).

Patrick Nunn music has been widely performed in the UK and on the continent and has featured at over forty festivals worldwide. He is a recipient of many prizes and awards including the Alan Bush prize for Transilient Fragments (2008), a British Composers Award (solo/duet category) for Mercurial Sparks, Volatile Shadows (2006) and the BBC Radio 3 composing for children prize for Songs of Our Generation (1995).
