Vega, Lyra and the frequencies of the cosmos

If we imagine Vega, Lyra and the 88 constellations, we can think further about the connection to cosmic music - not only metaphorically, but also on a scientific level.

Stars like Vega emit radiation in the form of electromagnetic waves which, when transposed into the audible range, can produce mesmerising frequencies.

This idea has even inspired some musicians to incorporate real space frequencies into their works by musically interpreting radio waves from stars or planets.

Lyra, as a constellation with the famous harp shape, is also reminiscent of musical structures. Vega, the main star in Lyra, shines with a brightness of about 0.03 magnitudes and is one of the sources of inspiration for artists and scientists alike.

Frequencies and their applications in cosmic music

The frequencies used in Cosmic Music play a key role in creating its hypnotic effect.

Sequencers such as the legendary Moog or the Arp 2600 have been used to create modulated, pulsating soundscapes. Typically, they work with frequencies in the range from 20 Hz to 20 kHz - the spectrum audible to humans.

However, there are also experiments with infrasound (below 20 Hz) or ultrasound (above 20 kHz), which, although not directly audible, can be physically perceptible and thus enhance the listening experience.

Harmonic overtones and beats created by superimposing frequencies are another feature. Such techniques make it possible to create a "floating" sound that gives the listener the feeling of moving in an endless galaxy of sound.

Conclusion

Cosmic music is more than just a style of music - it is a combination of art, science and spirituality. It gives us the opportunity to explore the depths of the universe through sound and inspires us to reflect on our existence in the cosmos.

The stars and their frequencies are not only visual but also acoustic inspirations that have deeply influenced the composers of this era.
