BEHIND THE MUSIC

From these stories, a composition.

Inspired by the edition of . A close dialogue between piano and flute takes its cue from the nursery already in use in Guardea. A steady pulse accompanies the NASA–Virginia agreement of 23 October to use data in energy planning; a more suspended passage reflects Scottish funding announced on 24 October for habitat recovery. These are three editorial images, not data converted into sound: the agreement does not demonstrate achieved savings, and the funding does not demonstrate completed restoration.
