Cygnus Loop: Score by Andy Maag

Written by May Oskan

Narrated by May Oskan

Cygnus Loop is the soundtrack to an imaginary planetarium show. Told in compact episodes and bathed in synthesizer music reminiscent of 1970s-era space programming, what begins as an astronomy lecture gradually devolves into a curious autopsy of theoretical math, confirmation bias, biological tendencies, and humankind’s search for meaning. As the scale of measurement expands, a story emerges of isolation and chance encounters.

The creators suggest listening to this piece in its entirety, preferably in a dark room.
