I have these older web pages to contribute:

http://mysite.verizon.net/pyth7/Music_of_the_Spheres/Music_of_the_Spheres.htm

Click the “Start Here: A Simple Premise” link at the very bottom of the page.

The heart of the work is here:

http://mysite.verizon.net/pyth7/Music_of_the_Spheres/Seven_Syzygies.htm

It’s a series of VRML worlds that contains synchronized music and geometry animations, which can be manipulated, looped, and speeded up and down, but given job on the text it is not a place to learn grammar or spelling!

You will need a VRML browser plug-in installed to view the world. A VRML browser is useful software to have installed on your computer if your son has an interest in solid geometry as a lot of examples on the internet are in VRML format (although sadly they sometimes are in the now non-supported VRML 1 format)

My work is best viewed with Cortona:

and BS Contact, though with BS Contact your son will have to content with an annoying floating free-trial logo:

One last thing, the pages have to be made a green check-marked  “Trusted Site” under I.E. security in order for some features to work. I am sorry about these hassles, but it isn’t 1999 anymore. If you have any technical problems with my site

or the VRML browsers let me know and I can try to assist.
