Waves by Alex Ringess

Between the event the Big Bang when the Universe cooled enough to no longer be a burning plasma and the time when the first atoms captured electrons, the Universe was a soup of vibrating electrons. It was opaque, dense, and behaved like a liquid or a gas.

It was traversed by waves that emitted powerful sounds. This primordial music allowed the first stars to be born by forming lumps in this plasma. And when the atoms formed and captured the electrons, and the Universe became transparent and silent, the distribution of matter within the Universe was no longer perfectly uniform. There were denser regions and emptier regions. From these differences in densities were born the first stars and after them the first primordial black holes, the same ones that allowed the birth of the first galaxies.

And the matter that had not been captured by these agglomerates began to form rivers traversed by waves of matter heading towards these galaxies to feed them. These galaxies, rotating around themselves, are also traversed by concentric waves created by this continual flow of matter coming from the rivers mentioned above and absorbed by their central black hole. It is the foam of these waves that causes flare-ups of matter when they come into contact with clouds of gas and dust. This is what we see in nebulae such as the Pillars of Creation or in the Orion Nebula for example.

On the subatomic scale, light behaves just as much in a wave-like manner and as if it were composed of individual grains separated from each other. Here again, these light ripples are waves.
Magnetism also manifests itself by waves, just like electricity, and gravity.

Each particle in the Universe is the manifestation of vibrations in a specific field. The Universe in its entirety is ultimately composed of these vibrating fields from which elementary particles emerge. Each of them has its own field. The electron, the quark, the photon, etc. This is what physicists call field theory, which has been confirmed many times and integrated into the standard model.

From the microscopic to the macroscopic scale, everything is just vibrations, everything is just waves.

This album is made of 4 waves of 8 minutes and a final wave of 10 minutes.
Each wave is itself made of waves that come and go.
Everything has been assembled to form a seamless whole.

- Wave #1 from 00:00 to 08:00
- Wave #2 from 08:00 to 16:00
- Wave #3 from 16:00 to 24:00
- Wave #4 from 24:00 to 32:00
- Wave #5 from 32:00 to 42:11

I'm a french musician, cooking it at home with my computer.
I'm doing noises that, occasionally, can be called electronic music.
You'll find here all the music I made since 2022.
