making Wolfe-inspired music

This is the message as the crawl holds it, before anything here touched it. What the conversation shows has been through ingest: transfer encodings decoded, attachments dropped, quote markers repaired, and the archiver’s ? resolved into quotation marks and dashes. Those repairs are judgements and some of them are wrong, which is what this page is for. Email addresses are obscured here as they are everywhere else on the site, so it is before our repairs rather than byte for byte.

I haven't "done" Wolfe, but I have been inspired by some other SF writers:

"The Up-and-Out" (Cordwainer Smith)
http://www.doubtfulpalace.com/artists/Shalmaneser/Ticker/07_the_up-and-out.mp3
(The agony and ecstasy of space travel. With krumhorn. From the album I 
sent off for duplication today, woo-hoo!)

"Brother North-Wind's Secret" (John Crowley)
http://www.doubtfulpalace.com/artists/Mercaptan/brother_north_wind.mp3
(Theme music for an imaginary show based on the children's book from 
LITTLE, BIG.)

"Fondly Fahrenheit" (Alfred Bester)
http://www.doubtfulpalace.com/artists/Shalmaneser/FW/05_Shalmaneser_FW_Fondly.mp3
(A robot goes crazy and kills people. A ragtime robot.)
