In this work for 16 percussionists, the composer was inspired by a child's musing on the secrets hidden behind the night sky. Cygnus X-1 was the first object generally considered to be a black hole, one of the greatest forces in the universe. Even light cannot escape this massive astrophysical force. The piece takes the listener on a cosmic journey to the black hole through the eyes of a child.
