Pulsar from Estrellas Normales by Frank Cebreros

Pulsars are highly magnetized neutron stars emitting electro-magnetic radiation (as radio, Gamma or X rays). We can only perceive this radiation when the ray is beaming towards the Earth; this is known as the Lighthouse Effect. The first pulsar was discovered in 1967 by Jocelyn Bell and her teacher, Antony Hewish. Unsettled by these regular emissions, they called them LGM-1, for “little green men”.

Peruvian producer and sound engineer Frank Cebreros (Lima, 1978) has an intimate relationship with sound. Between 1999 and 2004, while working with a wide array of artists who made their mark on Peru’s musical scene, he patiently explored the possibilities of the computer as a musical instrument; the result is Estrellas Normales. He collaborates with Fil Uno and has an electro-pop band, Hertz.
