Progressive, melodic, heavily orchestrated rock with celtic and space rock influences

] ');');');. I have privately released two albums, "The Last Druids" (2002) and "The Eye of the Cyclone" (2003). These are, according to one reviewer "progressive rock heavily informed by celtic music", though there are also space-rock influences in the second album. My next album "The Store of All the Worlds" will be released in March 2004. See album and concert reviews in the "Reviews" section. You may see reviews of the albums at the excellent "Aural Innovations" site: http://www.aural-innovations.com/issues/issue22/tombyrne.html and http://www.aural-innovations.com/issues/issue24/tombyrn2.html

Story behind the song

This instrumental is the introductory piece to my new album. The first person who can accurately tell me what this instrumental is about will win all three of my albums. Congratulations to Jon Hopkins who correctly guessed that this piece was based on the Golden Ratio Phi (1.618....) a number that appears throughout nature and the arts. The percussion line is based on the Fibonacci numbers, which, one divided by its predecessor tends to phi. The chord structure is based on the Fibonacci numbers applied to the diatonic and chromatic scales and finally the piece divides at the phi point.
