James Friesen - Track Notes

Here are some descriptions and technical notes on each of the music tracks I have posted on my website. My music is often inspired by the sounds themselves, but occasionally there is more to the story. I will try to give some meaning to each song, though, ultimately, it is the listener that truly gives meaning to music. These songs are free for you to enjoy. Please let me know you are listening, and feel free to post your comments. Visit my site at: www.jamesfriesen.com

Calabi-Yau

Copyright 2005 by James Friesen

A Calbai-Yau manifold is a special shape with multiple dimensions. String Theory calls for more spatial dimensions than we experience. It is often theorized that these extra dimensions are shrunk down and curled up into a 6 or 7 dimensional shape called a Calabi-Yau, named after two mathematicians who explored the geometries of n-dimensional space. The idea is that we aren't directly aware of these extra dimensions, even though we exist partially within them. On the grand, and the small scales, however, they can have a huge impact on reality, so we need to learn everything we can about them.

I am reading a lot about string theory, quantum physics, and nanotechnology, and I am exploring a new sound (for me anyway) that seems complex and multidimensional, so this name seems appropriate.
