The serial scheme has 1679 beats accommodated in 23 x 73. In that message is information of human life on the planet, our location in the solar system, etc. The message would travel 25,000 years to reach its destination. In 2001, as a crop circle, the information appeared as a crop circle in Chilbolton, England, but with a slightly different scheme.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis work is also message, 73 bars played by 23 flutists. The ASCII code was used in 2 ways: harmonically, moving back and forth between two notes to simulate the ones and zeros, and rhythmically: with a different rhythm to represent both one and zero.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe message says:  Thank you for answering, we believe that knowledge and wisdom with love can change our destiny. We are all one. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe song  Estrellita  by Manuel M. Ponce is used as a means to send the feeling of longing.
