143: Time goes slow

The launch of Apollo 6, government stimulus, Angela Davis, colonies on Mars, Malcolm X, explorations of outer space, 1968, futurists, and a remix of suite I, Mars, from The Planets, Op.32, by Gustav Holst.

The seven suites of Holst’s The Planets were first played together in September of 1918, during a worldwide pandemic. Time goes slow, is the second in a series of audio collages that look back at the past 102 years, exploring the parallels and contradictions between science and culture.
