SYNOPSIS
Today, I would like to share with you a stellar narrative that guided me in the composition of this musical project. I’m relating this story in these few lines are here to illustrate this soundscape. Of course, you’re welcome to let your imagine run wild ant invent a whole other narrative as you listen to it.
Once upon a time, in the vast night sky, there was a star, called Stella. Her glow forstered my chilhood daydreams. Stella was born in a nebula, a star nurserie. This is a vast region of the galaxy that’s filled whith gaz composed mostly by hydrogen and interstellar dust.

Because of all the galactic events, the stellar winds and the gravity, this cloud started to collaps into itself. All of the particule inevitably attracted each other.

That’s how, in a cosmic dance, Stella slowly spined on herself creating an accrétion disk. This will be the start of her future star system wich will accompagny her thoughout her existence. At its heart, the increasingly dense and hot core is like an embryonic star, called protostar.

Stella continues to grow until the pression and temperature reaches a level that allows nuclear fusion of hydrogen into helium. This will release a huge amount of energy as light and heat.

The star has then her own existence, illuminating space and time by her presence.

This is the begining of the main sequence phase. Stella will enter in an relatively stable balance between the gravity tempting to compress her and nuclear fusion trying to push it outwards.

After having used all the hydrogen in her massiv core, the heart just slowly collapses. Stella then releases temperature so hot that they can induce the fusion of heavier elements such as helium or even iron. This colossal amount of energie will force Stella to expand her enveloppe and the temperature of her surface will decrease. Stella has now become a red supergiant.

Stella’s heart reached the end of her fusion possibilities. Stella finishes by implosing under the effect of gravity triggering a cataclysmic explosion. It’s a supernova that ejects a big part of the matter Stella transformed and her glow spreads all across the universe. What’s left of Stella’s heart become a black hole, with a singularity at its center. His gravity is so intense that it distorts space-time and capture all the light at the edge of the horizon events. The temperature og thise horizon events is extraordinarily high because of the accrétion disk feeds the mass of the black hole. The matter is « spaghettifiée ». It penetrates inevitably the black hole to join it’s singularity, pushed by a dizzying speed of rotation. A process of quamtum evaporation of matter is slowly at work, it’s cosmic radiation.

That’s how Stella has evolved fallowing a series of emergent events linked to its mass and nature. Each star writes its own story while illuminating the cosmos and our dreams by her presence. She is also here to give us material to fell and think about.



Each Track is a sound painting which is a representation of a stage in the life of a star named Stella.
Now, I invite you to listen these tracks that encourage you to embark on a journey to the outer reaches of space, time, and imagination.
