 Total running time : 54’12”

Track 1: AURORA BOREALIS (13’21”)
Inspired by the observation of Northern Lights during a trip to Iceland, this spectacular phenomenon is made of colorful and cinematic ribbons of light, which can appear in the clear skies close to the Poles of both hemispheres, whenever energy particles from the Sun clash with the Earth’s upper atmosphere.

Track 2: BEYOND ANDROMEDA (16’04”)
A long-distance intergalactic flight, aiming to explore the deep and frightening cosmic abysses of the territories outside of the Andromeda galaxy.

Track 3: SUPERNOVA SUITE (total time 24’47”)
A suite in four movements, strongly influenced by the German progressive Kosmische Musik of the early 1970’s (Tangerine Dream, Ash Ra Tempel, Popol Vuh and others). As you will hear, “vintage” sounds are deliberately predominant throughout the whole suite.

 Subtrack 1: COSMIC LETHARGY (9’22”)
A space capsule travels across the depth of the cosmos, wandering through alien star systems and nebulas, meeting liquid planets, comets and asteroids. Target is a giant star, silently and motionlessly converting H to He.
 Subtrack 2: TIME TO WAKE UP (4’28”)
The spaceship is approaching the region of the star, which at a certain point starts to show signs of instability and restlessness: H reserve is going to exhaust soon.
 Subtrack 3: OUTBURST (1’50”)
The star suddenly explodes to a massive Supernova, swallowing all the surrounding space, stars, planets and other celestial objects.
 Subtrack 4: COLLAPSE TO WHITE DWARF (9’17”)
Supernova gradually implodes to a high-density White Dwarf star, emanating into the void weak light for the eternity and at some points maybe converting to a black hole.
