Universum is a loose chronology of the universe, expressed through a hybrid of orchestral and electronic instrumental music. From ambient atmosphere to symphonic song to percussive pulse, Universum is an intense journey from theoretical beginning to theoretical end.

01 Formless

Everything and everywhen
Unbound by there or then

02 Important Matters

Cosmic inflation takes its course
Isolating particle from force

03 Obscurant Transparent

Activity and expansion slow
Gas free-floating without glow

04 Astrogen

From star to galaxy to cluster
They shine with all they can muster

05 Propel Repel

A mysterious energy through circumstance
Dominates and rejuvenates the expanse

06 Collapse Destroy Rebuild

A Sun's formation and gravity
Create a swirl of rock and debris

07 Revolutionary Phenotypes

Through selection and intermediary strife
A planet witnesses the birth and death of life

08 Influx Engulf

An old giant and its terrestrial friend
Reunite in a violent end

09 Rearranged Modern

Three galaxies pull together in an uproar
Merge and luminesce more brightly than before

10 Diamond Glints

The dawn of a dim era as they evolve
Far-reaching filaments begin to dissolve

11 Sonatina for the Last Ones

When all the stars are burnt and gone
Their dark descendants carry on
But they too ultimately meet their destined downfall
Whispering and withering till they are nothing at all
And nothing is everything after all
