l Alchemy—Gary Fagan. This ancient philosophy
claimed that iron could be converted into gold
and the composer discovers a parallel in musical
composition. He has the ability to take the notes of
a scale and turn them into music which is just as

the notes as the musical equivalent of iron he turns
them into music that's just as precious as gold.

Our first encounter with these visitors from outer

but their delightfully spooky and eerie sounds give
them away as they try to hide among us.
