STARBURST (2020)

A Digital Signal Processing Experiment
based on an interpretation of the seismology of stars

Duration: 1 hour 24 minutes

The work begins and ends in near silence. In the beginning, the silence lasts for about a minute before the shortest, and softest sounds are heard. You will need to listen extremely attentively to hear those sounds. At the end, the silence is about 4 minutes. During these stretches of what we think are silent, the audio is actually running, it is just not audible to us.
