Droning of the Spheres

Orbits, spins, ice-age cycles, pulsars and the afterglow of the Big Bang, each shifted by whole octaves until it lands in your hearing range. Layer them into a drone. Every pitch is a real period, transposed.

Tuning how pitches are placed

Each layer's own octave control moves it from here. A source's breathing rate is its own frequency folded down into a 17 to 33 second cycle, so layers keep their true ratios in slow motion too.
