The tunnel has a ring that is covered in the portal glyphs, similar to the chevrons on a stargate. On top of this platform stands a tall, slab-like structure with a split down its centre and with an opening at the base that allows beings to pass through it once it is activated. They have a long cross-shaped platform on the ground that is flanked by floating pillars. Portals are ancient structures that are all identical in appearance. All glyphs can be found within Traveller Graves beforehand and subsequently used to travel anywhere inside the galaxy. The ability to activate a portal is taught to the player in the Artemis Path storyline in the A Leap in the Dark quest and doesn't need the entirety of all sixteen glyphs to be used. Unlike other structures, they can even be found on dead planets and in uncharted systems. Portals can be activated and used to quickly travel between planets of a star system, star systems of a region or entire regions within the same galaxy. 4.1 Table of correspondence for Glyphs:Ī Portal is a point of interest in No Man's Sky and exactly one can be found on all celestial bodies of a star system, like planets or their moons.There are no answers, just more questions. I hope my work is about “being human” with all its faults, frailties, hopes, dreams, disasters, loves, hates and complexities. Robin Storey is well known in ambient music circles for his extensive catalog of recordings, presently exceeding 40 albums, singles and collaborative projects released over the last 13 years.Īliens, ancient glyphs, UFO’s, man’s search for meaning in a world where there is none, just one aspect of the human condition. When I heard again the sounds coming from the old record deck and the vinyl out in the garage, I immediately started making samples to manipulate and incorporate in future compositions. Play it on a record deck and it will sound different because of the nature of the medium. These days nearly all compositions are subconsciously referenced to the length of the average CD, but the vinyl version of Alien Glyph Morphology has been edited with the time frame of a vinyl record in mind. Compared with the vinyl edition, two tracks are extended in length, and a previously unavailable song, “Condensed Nightmares” has been added as a bonus track. As with nearly every Soleilmoon release, this CD is a collectable art object, and indeed, like snowflakes, no two are exactly the same. Starting in 2005 with a DVD that came with 20 large Tarot-style postcards, and continuing in 2006 with a double 10 inch LP presented in an elaborately decorated wooden cover, Rapoon returns with the final chapter of his “Alien Glyph Morpholgy” tryptich, a limited edition CD presented in a hand-made tiger-print folder. Usually these make the whole thing suddenly come to life. Filmmaking is a bit more deliberated but still has leaps of spontaneity involved. A lot of the creative process is intuitive and spontaneous. If they sound foreign and conflicting then there sometimes evolves a natural resolution and a balance between the different facets. Once there is the space created to work in it is a matter of populating that space with other sounds and elements. Making music almost always begins with playing an instrument or taking a sound that is already recorded and manipulating it until it suggests a space or a place or a landscape.
