Kosmos is a sonic exploration of the universe's birth, tracing the journey from the Primordial Era to the explosive force of the Big Bang. The piece begins in a state of stillness and tension, symbolizing the formless void of the early universe. Gradually, chaos emerges as subtle textures and motifs are formed, representing cosmic forces slowly coalescing as energy begins to shape existence. As the piece progresses, the music builds in intensity, with orchestral layers intertwining, reflecting the rapid inflation of the universe. The climax is marked by an overwhelming convergence of sound, an explosion that marks the moment of creation—the Big Bang itself.
