Makrológos

Pierrot Ensemble and Percussion | 9'

Inspired by cosmology, astronomy, and biology, this work is an effort to faithfully represent scientific facts in music. While certainly referential, Makrológos isn't human-centric; as in, music about how it feels to look up at the stars. This music is about the stars themselves or rather, how they came to be and their inevitable fate. That’s not to say there isn’t any poeticism. It’s just that the poeticism comes from us, and we map it onto the universe instead of the other way around.  

Makrológos is in three sections:
  • Singularity - The Big Bang, birth of stars, formation of planets
  • Emergence - The evolution of life from abiogenesis
  • Descent - The last stars, evaporation of black holes, darkness
