music of dying stars


You've certainly heard the music of dead stars before, but have you heard the music of 241 suddenly- and violently-dying stars?

Here is the "Supernova Sonata" from Alex Harrison Parker (and available on Vimeo).

The music is cool, although with somewhat fewer movements than a traditional sonata. The video is cool (presenting about two weeks, real universe, for each second of video). The frequency of the supernovae is astounding.
