Celestial Tune, Part 3

This piano composition is inspired by our universe. The music starts with a giant chord that represents the Big Bang, or the Original Intention if you prefer. Just as the Big Bang contained the matter and energy to create our entire universe, this chord contains all the notes this composition needs. As time passes, the chord becomes arpeggio, then melody, then detached notes, so as to reflect the expansion of our universe. As you listen, imagine planets rotating around their suns. As they revolve, they constantly move away from you, then come back half a cycle later. Departures followed by returns. Questions and answers. This simple alternance serves as the main structure of this piece.

My piano is a delight to play when it has just been tuned. Individual notes sound pure and have a beauty on their own. They invite the player to get lost in the timbre, not the music. A recent tuning inspired me to play just notes, and create this sound generator. The notes that have been used are borrowed from the Phygian mode. This mode resonates mysteriously, with flavors from Orient. Every time you reload this generator, you create a new instance: a new universe, if you like, but one that uses the same ingredients, the same set of notes. Discover two other universes in the Celestial trilogy : Aeolian and Ionian.

  I'm honestly impatiently waiting for a Lydian one, that'd be the perfect mixture of sweetness and dark dissonance.

  Honestly, at first I didn't like the Celestial Triology, but now I consume it like a piece of music, as if someone's playing the piano with endless concentration from a music score. I love minimalistic piano with a slow pace and this one sounds just like that - in G#. There is a nice balance between tension and tranquility. Great job!

  This is really beautiful and relaxing while still emotional to listen to. It reminded me a lot of the game Hollow Knight.

  I love this with The Fireplace and Dark Noise playing alongside it. It feels like relaxing at a makeshift camp in a dark reality. Because even though you're in a dystopia, you can still relax.

  Getting Olafur Arnalds vibes from this one - I keep expecting violins and cellos to start swelling.

  This one reminds me a lot of Zelda Breath of the Wild. Thanks, with nature sounds it's perfect!

  I actually really like this one! It is very unique in my opinion!
