Hello there. I hope that wherever this recording finds you, you are having a really wonderful day.

I am really excited to show you a brand new piece of music. This is an unannounced piece of

music and it is inspired by the very soon upcoming Gemini and Meteor shower. As you guessed,

if you've been listening to the podcast for a little bit, this belongs to my astronomy series

of songs. And if you're unfamiliar with that project, astronomy is a series of pieces of music

that are inspired by upcoming astronomical events. So I'm basically trying to write scores

or soundtracks to these observable events in space. And so today's recording is inspired by

that Gemini Meteor shower, which is on December 13th. And I'm going to jump right to it and

and show you guys that piece of music. And then we'll talk about how it was pieced together

and give you some more insight into why I recorded what I recorded. So I hope you enjoy it.

kind of spark an idea or spark my approach to to writing this this this little short kind of

score for watching a meteor shower. And so first I watched a ton of YouTube videos from previous

Gemini observed showers in past. And there's some really gorgeous stuff by the way you should

check that out. But basically what I learned was that the first recorded observation of the Gemini

was about 200 years ago. So that informed me that this piece of music should be 200 seconds long,

which is a comes out to be three minutes and 33 seconds. So that was my first guiding piece of

information. And then I learned that there are up to 120 visible meteors per hour. So I thought it

might be fun to kind of work that number into this song as well. And so I decided that anytime there

was a tempo decision to be made, I wanted it to be set to 120 BPM. However, the song as you as you
