Corp (ASCAP) "At dawn when everyone is fast asleep and everything is still innumerable corpuscles come from faraway stars in the cosmos or from the sun. When they enter the magnetosphere of the earth, the strange music like bird's twittering begins. Astronomers call it "DAWN CHORUS". But it lasts only for a brief moment, and fades out, as the sun rises. As the sound recorded at the Radio Observatory in Hiraiso, Ibaragi Pref., was excellent and audible in the original form, it was used at the beginning of this album without any modifications. This is Tomita's ninth album after two and half years of silence. Based on popular pieces of Baroque and masterpieces of Villa-Lobos, a great Brazilian composer, this album was made from materials including waves from various stars in the cosmos like light curves supplied with kind cooperation of NASA, Tokyo Astronomical Observatory, Institute of Space & Astronautical Science and Nobeyama Radio Observatory. Listen and enjoy the feeling of spacewalk." © 1984 RCA Records/Printed in Germany/Imprimé en Allemagne.
