The Children of Deceased Stars
Powered by nuclear fusion, stars are the factories of our universe. At their core, atoms are colliding at tremendous speed. This not only alters their atomic structure but releases an enormous amount of energy.
Hydrogen fuels our universe. It is the most common element in the cosmos, and the simplest with one proton. Our sun is a young star — about five billion year old. It provides us with energy by converting this hydrogen into helium. Helium is the next most common element in the universe after hydrogen, with two protons.
Once a star runs out of hydrogen, it begins to transform helium into heavier elements. Each star contributes to the creation of different atomic elements, depending on its mass and its age. During a supernova, when a massive star explodes at the end of its life, the resulting high energy environment enables the creation of even heavier elements, and disperses all this matter across the whole universe. It can be used and transformed by the next generation of stars, or it can agglomerate into planets.
On Earth, hydrogen and helium make up only a small part of our environment. All the other elements were formed in the deep cosmos, by the generations of stars preceding our sun, billions of years ago.
Any life form that originates from Earth, is necessarily created by same stellar matter. Everything around us is stellar matter. Our bodies are stellar matter. There could be no life without the death of stars. We are the children of these deceased stars.

I'm currently writing a story set in space, and this generator combined with Twin Black Lodges is perfect for creating that silent, eerie, endless sort of atmosphere.
●
These sounds sound a bit like chants of some open space demons.
●
O2, a fierce, perfect for alien life planet, it orbits a different kind of star in the solar system known as the 02717-Karpier System. It has two moons, 0712-1b, and 2023-2b. It may seem a greyish-brown color on the outside, but when you land on O2, you'll see wondrous things that people never knew existed.
●
Though I'm a nature person at heart, I love this noise while studying. Makes me feel like a student in deep space in the future.
●
Is it the song of (evil) angels? }:)
●
The inverse Helium. This is really Sci-Fi!
●
Shivers come down your spine.
●
Sounds very mystic and satisfying!!! Nice!
●
This one sounds lovely with the Temple Bells generator. Very shimmery!
●
I adore this sound generator. This particular setting that I adjusted takes me to a place where I relax and makes me nostalgic about my childhood staring up at the night sky.
●
I just love the way the settings of each generator can be customized to the listener's taste. Adjusting the sliders until I hit this particular setting was an experience on its own and now I have a new favorite, relaxing space ambience to listen to!
●
This is haunting and beautiful at the same time. It sends shivers down my spine.
●
My favorite and most used sound generator on this website. Thank you so much for making it!
●
This generator and many others are just so wonderful. It really helps me concentrate when I need to study and I love how you can personalise this. I deeply admire how much work has been put into this website - it is truly spectacular.
●
Waiting for infinity... WOW.
●
Last night I could NOT focus on my homework for the life of me and this saved me.
●
I feel like I'm floating around in space, just staring at the trillions of stars. I've lost all sense of up or down, and my consciousness faded away into the stars. It's amazing what music can do. :)
●
Combined with 88 Keys is really dramatic. WOW.
●
"The Universe" is the closest I come to understanding something divine. I love that I, and everything and everyone around me, are made of stardust. Thank you for giving this to me in auditory form!
●
So calming! Makes me feel way less anxious because I love having some kind of background noise! This website is excellent, keep it up <3
●
This feels like a dream.
●
This website is a gem in the sea of Internet. It has many collections of sounds. I clicked this website whenever I need to relax, listen to soothing sounds.
●
This is my favourite noise on this site so far! I just adore space-like atmospheres.
●
So many noises all over this site make me forget time. I'm asperger autistic and rather restless, so I absolutely appreciate it to loose my sense of time for a bit, stop thinking about everything at once. Especially to sleep, I use this site to imagine the scenery rather than jumping from thought to thought like usual. A very big thank you to the creator to make this possible for everyone.
●
I have sever misophonia and have struggled with it for a long long time. This website is a GOD SEND.I'm so thankful that this site exists, before I found this site I would have to blast music through my headphones just to drown out everyday noises which became very exhausting. Now I can actually relax and even sleep for a change. THANK YOU.
●
This is so strange. It is like remembering having been to space, working in a mine in some Jupiter moon, like I can really see myself there even though it has never happened.
●
Combine this with Aeternitas, and you'll be on a mystical stellar journey in space!
●
I have headache and concentration problems, yet, have to spend the majority of the day working at my PC. This noise, coupled with Saturn Rings, is the best thing to happen to me since lo-fi hip-hop. Chilling space ambience does wonders to my workflow and doesn't make my head feel like a furnace even after having the sound on for several hours staight. Thank you for this wonderful generator <3
●
Wow it's like I am on the surface of haumea in the deep Kuiper belt. Thanks Dr. Pigeon, you should do more space theme ones. These are amazing and extremely calming when I am with my grumpy gram-pa who won't turn off his radio in Russia.
●
Great to listen to while working! This is one of my favorite generators.
●
← Don't know why, but these settings feel like home, to be honest :') Great generator.
●
Sounds great when paired with the Dukduk Song, surprisingly. The low tones blend together really well and help me keep my brain on track when I'm writing essays.
●
Feels like I'm on a long journey, like I'm sleeping as I sail across the stars. Engines work quietly beneath my feet and nebulae float past the window.
●
I like the low noises being combined with a higher mid-note, and the hissing of air (?) through it all.
●
This is such a beautiful sound to listen to. It sounds like I'm really in space!
●
I could write a story around this, or even come up with a single character around this. It's so amazingly beautiful. It makes me think of ancient space technology.
●
A low, cave-like sound with mystic sparkles! It's very soothing.
●
← Smooth Ambience
●
I feel like I'm in a spaceship, traveling to a distant star right now.
●
This generator really nails that 'vastness of space' feeling, but in a way that feels comforting rather than lonely or oppressive. I love how I can just melt peacefully away.
●
This actually gives me serenity and peace, for once in my life. I feel like just drifting away, enveloped in the stars. I feel like my inner quarrels are calmed for once. Watching the beautiful worlds pass by me as I drift, I feel tranquility that could last forever.
●
It sounds like I'm on an abandoned space station that's slowly falling apart, the debris returning to stardust.
●
It is so soothing I feel like I am floating in space and that the stars are just trying to whisper secrets of the beginning of the universe to me. Secret of how it all began.
●
It's as if I'm crawling through space, waiting. It's strangely moving and focusing.
●
So relaxing. Thank you :)
●
I love how calming this sounds. Like the background hum of the universe.
●
This is deep and serene and draws me back into the stillness of creation, there is a slow breathing quality to the soundscape that makes me feel like I am slowly awakening - thanks for your hard work creating these gems.
●
We are all made of stardust. It's like admire the universe at the time when the first stars were created. Such an amazing experience!
●
It feels like magic, being in another universe. It's like your place isn't here, but is among the stars.
●
Hated the little buzzing in the back, this is just atmospheric and feels like I'm turning to dust and flying away.
●
This is so incredible! It feels like it's talking in another language, almost. Like if I concentrated on it hard enough, I could understand it. Almost.
●
I feel like I'm floating among the stars whenever I go to sleep with this!
●
For some reason I feel something deep inside me resonating... What am I? Who am I? I'm confused but euphoric. I love this. Thank you
●
Stardust + Number stations + Takeoff from Virtual Aircraft + Hum from Gregorian Voices = Trippiest thing ever!
●
It feels like I'm being cradled to sleep by the Universe.
●
Oh wow, the Stardust music generator on Animate, and at a high volume, literally drowns out everything in the office - while at the same time concentrating my focus. 10/10, whoever did this is a genius, I can leave it running for a couple hours without even noticing.
●
This paired with Distant Thunder and Wooden Chimes transports you to a calm, soothing of dreams. Perfect for going to sleep. <3
●
Simply amazing.
●
This mixed with Twilight is absolutely amazing. Extremely calming for when I need to write.
●
This paired with the star/moon nightlight I have makes me feel like I'm home again. As starkin, this is the greatest thing I could have stumbled upon.
●
It reminds me of Halo, where 117 and Cortana are drifting aimlessly through space in the wreckage of the forward unto dawn. Beautiful.
●
I took a previous testimonial's advice, and combined this with the Yukatian Voices generator. Then, I layered on some spacecraft chatter with the Numbers Station generator, and ended up with some of the best ambient cosmic sound I could ever ask for.
●
This generator makes me feel like I'm back on Homeworld, it's amazing!
●
Wow, this is the universe in one sound! When combined with Yakutian voices and Himalayan voices on low volume, it creates a new world just in one sound. -My 10 year old son who loves this website.
●
Why do I feel like it's almost like singing?
●
Ethereal
●
This is really amazing! With earphones on, it takes you to another world!
●
This is so great!
●
This makes me feel as if my soul is aimlessly drifting in space, before birth or after death.
●
I absolutely love this, it makes me feel like I'm on another planet!
●
This and cave chimes together is the perfect combination for helping me focus when I'm writing or doing anything really! So glad that I found this.
●
Combining this with some of the water noises and the Ice World drone feels like I'm sleeping underwater in a calm, cold lake on another world... it's nice.
●
I love listening to this for studying, sleeping, meditation, even when I'm writing a book. It calms my nerves and helps me focus more than anything I've ever tried. I'm so glad I came across this.
●
This plus Northern Lights plus Cave Chimes is audible heaven. Just perfect for gently drifting of to sleep. Gives me the most amazing dreams and I always wake up refreshed, inspired and with a subtle feeling of blissful relaxation all over my body.
●
Incredibly beautiful, I've also thought that humans are beings that are made to believe and everyone has faith in something. What I ended up making for me sounded like being on the edge of a blackhole and then going into it, and it seems terrifying at first but you just let go of all your worries and let yourself be obliterated and then joined.
●
As an avid Transformers fan, I like to think that this would be what the Allspark sounds like. Very relaxing and sort of "heavenly".
●
So relaxing!
●
Feels like home. As starkin, this is amazing.
●
It is like waves, if the cosmos were an ocean.
●
This is amazing for meditating! Thank you very much!
●
This is really so calming <3
●
I land on the surface of the moon. Ten-foot tall phosphorescent tubules of grass brush against the insides of my arms. I wade through the tourmaline sea, towards a tree covered in chalk faces. Who has been here before me? Where are they now? The answer matters little to me as a warm tidal wind whistles in my ears, and the light of two alien suns bathes my skin.
●
Orion's bastions
●
This setting plays with my ears. Like a fly buzzing in my ear, but a good fly and a good buzz.

The vast, infinite space. And yet we, humans, only know 1
