Story behind the song
Originally written for FAWM (February Album Writing Month) in 2007. This song was later remade for my 2008 Jamendo album, Points of Departure. In 2004, I switched careers, from pharmaceutical research chemist, to middle school science teacher. I like teaching more than anything I've ever done. My favorite unit is space and astronomy. When I was younger, we had no internet, and I had to wait months for the photos from the Voyager probes to appear in National Geographic. Now? You can look any of the NASA probes up online. This song is for the space probes; they were the ships of my dreams. Most of these tracks were recorded without any sort of drum machine or rhythm track -- only a metronome. That was my challenge to myself. This song was formerly hosted on DMusic. In 2009, SoundClick will be my base of operations for FAWM.
