A brief sonic journey through the history of the cosmos, represented entirely through instrumentation.

Stage 1: Infinite Instant - The impossible moment. In an instant, infinity.

Stage 2: New Gravity - Confused building blocks begin to coalesce and take shape. Quarks, neutrons, and atoms. Eventually, galaxies.

Stage 3: Perpetual Transformation - The age of death and rebirth. This will last for trillions of years.

Stage 4: Narrowly, Us - Somehow, in a vast unknown, we flicker.

Stage 5: Last Lights - Twilight of the cosmos. The last stars fade.

Stage 6: X-Ray Dance - Only black holes remain. They dance with one another until the end.

Stage 7: You, Me, and the End of Everything - Infinity comes to a close. We look back fondly.
