Pluto Head
At this moment, NASA's New Horizon spacecraft races towards the outer edge of our known solar system, to be arriving at Pluto in little over a month. In 2006, Pluto was reclassified by scientists to be termed a "dwarf planet", rather than the planet it has been thought of for many years. A lot of people were upset by this. They are called "Pluto Heads". I'm a Pluto-Head of a different sort, one who explores far out realms of music. This instrumental album of electronic tone paintings celebrates exploration, discovery, high technology, and the advancement of civilizations. I hope you enjoy the journey!
