September 21st 2008
A few weeks ago I made up a small audiovisual presentation of two of the images from the Atalanta fugiens, which can be played on a Windows computer. This has my coloured version of the emblems and my versions of Michael Maier's 'fugues' on synthesiser. The file is quite large (4.5 megabytes) so a full version with the 50 emblems and music would be far too long to place on the website. I forgot, however to set up a page, so that people could access this ! But I have now done so. Just go to this page . If there is any interest in this I will make up some further of the pieces.
