“Cosmic Cycles”, a new seven-suite “space symphony”, has been premiered outside Washington. The project showcases vivid imagery compiled by NASA alongside the first-ever public performance of the music. The symphony’s composer, Henry Dehlinger, describes it as “almost like a total artwork”. The images from NASA’s research, compiled by their producers into seven short films, served as the inspiration for Dehlinger. The seven-part piece begins at the heart of our solar system – the Sun – and ends with a finale of nebulae, black holes and other galactic phenomena. In addition to two performances at venues outside Washington, NASA has released the videos to its YouTube page with a synthesized version of Dehlinger’s soundtrack.
