Will Gregory Moog Ensemble released a Digital Deluxe edition of their debut album, Heat Ray: The Archimedes Project, out now: https://mute.ffm.to/wgme-heatray
The deluxe edition – described by Will as “the soundtrack to an imaginary Archimedes
biopic” – features insights from the recreational mathematician, comedian and author
Matt Parker, best known for his YouTube series, Standup Maths. The nine pieces written
and presented by Parker each introduce a track from the album giving fascinating insights
into the life, inventions and legacy of Archimedes, the Greek mathematician who lived and
worked in the third century BC.
The album – recorded by the Moog Ensemble on analogue synthesisers, with the BBC
National Orchestra of Wales – has been augmented with two bonus tracks, ‘Heavy Logic’
and ‘Parabolic Sleuth’.
