Schwarzschild from Estrellas Normales by Frank Cebreros

The Schwarzschild radius measures a black hole’s event horizon: the distance from which nothing, not even light, can escape the black hole’s gravity. In 1916 the existence of black holes was predicted by German astronomer Karl Schwarzschild, whose name sounds like ‘black shield’.

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.
