Message of the day: PAY ATTENTION TO ME ME ME!!!

Politely put, Magellan's Log here offers you a mental diuretic. Less politely, a hit of psychic Ex-Lax. Less politely still, a high-colonic to flush the bad stuff out of your mind and heart.

The bad stuff is all so repetitive. As Stephen Gaskin pointed out long ago, the daily publications should be called OLDSpapers.

We thought maybe repetition of a different kind might be helpful. We collected a bunch of rounds and canons, pieces of music (mostly short) which are cleverly constructed so that they can form layers of pleasing, repetitive sound within themselves.

Some are as old as five centuries, some are quite new. We went to some pains to find worthy graphics. Together, the sounds and pictures may help you focus away from what Francis Bacon called "the Idols of the Age" and toward more healthful sensory input.

Note: Each page contains a graphic and a midi. Most of the files are small and will load quickly. In a few cases, you'll need to be patient and give the page a few seconds to load fully and begin operating. Several of the pages contain animation.
