The Orbital Resonance between the planets Earth and Venus is strikingly related to the Fibonacci number series (2,3,5,8,13...) and thus to the Golden Section proportion (1.618) — Earth orbits the Sun eight times for thirteen of Venus's cycles. Both in visual imagery and verbal description, the accumulated detail relating to Venus points towards a rare synchronicity of Science and Fiction. The music is cast in a single 11-minute span and builds gradually in distinct developments of materials that emanate from the opening. It aims to evoke key aspects of Venus — of imperiousness, of being "under the spell", as it were — together with planetary movement in outer space. Repeated notes suggest, perhaps, satellite radio signals and movement, mythic names in Morse code, or just a vague communicative presence.
