Exactly HOW big is it ? Think carefully for a moment about: "All words ever spoken by human beings". E r, yeah. See Exabyte ! This table courtesy of Roy Williams at Caltech . A Connection to music? Yes; I like to make algorithmic music. My album "Loose" is all-agorithmic. I plan to use these in an upcoming song.

New Music from ... 1997
Music I wrote, recorded (all tracks), and published in 1997. It's from what people tell me is my "best" album (Storm Animal - an anagram of Martin Lomas). I disagree; my fave album is "Loose" (all electronic & algorithmic). But "Loved By A Queen" is a decent song that may well be resurrected for The Garden Distrikt, or even sold to a name musician/singer.

New Music from 1998
Only 20 years old - a mere spring chicken, here's - "Hair of the God" 1998 Music by Martin Lomas, words from "The Eye of the Prophet" by Kahlil Gibran as read by Johnny Cash. All of the guitar tracks were created by sampling my own work at half-speed. Why? Serendipity. I had some recordings of mine on cassette tape. These were made on the typical TASCAM PortaStudio unit (see below), which uses the tape at double-speed to improve quality. I wanted to revive them, and so planned to re-record them digitally, double the speed (since I no longer have a double-speed tape deck), and clean them up. But I got stuck at the half-speed stage. Some wonderful new sounds become available.
New Music from 1997: P F Empathy
"P F Empathy" 1 997 Music by Martin Lomas. So named due to my love of the Italian prog-rock band PFM . All tracks recorded and produced by me. The two solos were originally electric guitar, which I then purposely allowed audio-to-MIDI software to inaccurately translate, feeding the results into software synths.
