The composer writes:

Strap in and prepare to be thrust into the stars at the moment where it all began. Flourishes of vivacious passages hurtle us outward from an explosive start. The composer depicts the creation of the universe as it expands immensely, forming space, time, matter, and energy.

The ominous passages that start the journey transition to a transcendental dance, as galaxies mold and splashes of hydrogen and helium merge to help form the rich psychedelic clouds and nebulae, filling the once dark void.

The work continues to propel the listener outward at breaking speed as life emerges and takes its place within the mass of luminescent energy within the Cosmos. 

 

"It's very important that the ostinato that gets passed from the trumpets and horns be absolutely even and as smooth as possible." "Try to think of it as a unit rather than an individual."
