Perseus fought bravely to earn Andromeda's love. the bound between holy and human. a story of true love, sacrifice and reward.
named after the greek mythological hero, the black hole located in the heart of Andromeda's galaxy was sonified by NASA in July 2022. its radiation was captured by the Hubble telescope and its data was translated into a thirty four seconds composition.
this work is not only inspired in the two sentences above, but uses the original Perseu's recording from NASA (and nothing else) to create a song for love, lifetime bond and depth.
