| Todd Barton had the original idea of creating a one minute daily music composition, a "Moog Musing", using a Moog Voyager as the exclusive sound generator. Edmund Eagan responded with the idea of tying each "muse" to a current Mars image and text from the NASA/JPL site. Near the end of February Edmund started to create video manipulations of the daily images up until the final musing of May 14, 2004.
The mars musings project ran online every day from January 25 to May 14th, 2004, for over 100 seperate and distinct musing events.
