I'm following the wheel of the sky around the year, and releasing a song every month on the 19th under the artist name “Atlas of the Stars”. May is dedicated to Spica, the brightest star in the constellation of Virgo, which we see in northern hemisphere throughout the spring season, growing earlier as the days progress.
To find Spica in the sky, follow the curve of the Big Dipper to Arcturus, then drive a “spike to Spica”, another line down in a similar trajectory to find the bright shiny Spica twinkling away over the springtime hills. Fun fact: the star is actually two stars, and in honour of this fact I made the star on the album art have TWO stars as well, if you look closely. Hope you enjoy this immersive soundscape of magic!
If you have a favourite star or astronomical wonder, let me know so maybe I can dedicate a song to it in a future release!
