Beyond the Infinite - Chapter 6 - Symphony of the Stars

Chapter Prelude:
"He is snapped out of his thoughts by a blinding flash of light. A star has died - or what we call a supernova. He is about to witness the scintillating life cycle of stars, set against the profound canvas that is space."

Musician's excerpt:
"A star is a massive body of plasma in outer space that is currently producing or has produced energy through nuclear fusion. Unlike a planet, from which most light is reflected, a star emits light because of its intense heat."

"Star formation begins with gravitational instability inside high density molecular clouds, often triggered from shockwaves from supernovae or collisions of two galaxies."

"Stars spend 90% of their lifetime fusing hydrogen to produce helium in high temperature and high pressure reactions near the core."
- Hoon Tah Wei, Raven and Lufang

A machinima video made using the game "The Movies" and part of the Electronic Music Lab's "Beyond the Infinite" 2006 performance.

The final concluding chapter will be uploaded soon!

Live electronic music was performed during the actual screening of the event giving rise to an interesting combination of live artificial electronic sounds with virtual actors, real backgrounds and various edits of animated videos from NASA.
