«shortlivedUniverse» track from HEAVEN III album «singularitime» by Andrey Klimkovsky

In modern laboratories, scientists sometimes conduct absolutely amazing experiments, the result of which can be new technological materials or medicines. In special conditions, organs for transplantation or microprocessors with subatomic miniaturization of working elements are already grown. But when the experiment has brought certain results, it is usually stopped. At some point, the researchers go home, and the laboratory is locked with a key, after turning off all the devices and equipment - they also need to rest...

But what if a new form of life is created during the experiment - biological or cybernetic (which one exactly - it does not matter)? Will it be acceptable to stop this experiment at some point? If someone thought that such achievements are still very far away, and the question is premature, I will tell you that in the Large Hadron Collider, during the collision of particles, not some abstract forms of life can be born and die for a short time, but entire Worlds - huge Universes, whose uniqueness, originality and eternity are hidden in the bottomless well of the microworld. But these Worlds are no worse than ours... although, usually, we do not think about it...

Perhaps it is high time to think about it. After all, it is possible that we ourselves, together with the World surrounding us, are also just someone's bold experiment... (?)

The full album "singularitime" can be purchased here:

The track reviewed here is the fifth track on the album's playlist, which has a total of 10 tracks. In fact, the first half of the album is already available in video versions. Here are links to other video tracks:


Enjoy watching, listening and thinking, Friends!

«Above the Earth with a comet». Video version

In October 2024, a relatively bright comet shines in the evening sky of the Earth. Its photos are all over social networks, and astronomy enthusiasts have put everything else aside and focused their attention on the tailed guest, which is called «C / 2023 A3 (Tsuchinshan–ATLAS)». It was discovered in 2023 independently at two observatories - the Chinese "Tsuchinshan" and the South African Astronomical Observatory - by the robotic system "ATLAS" (the purpose of which is to detect in advance potentially dangerous celestial objects for the Earth - comets and asteroids, but this comet does not pose a danger).

In the next couple of weeks, comet «C / 2023 A3 (Tsuchinshan - ATLAS)» will move along the northern part of the constellation Ophiuchus. Its brightness is currently close to the 3rd stellar magnitude - this is slightly higher than predicted, but still not enough to easily see the comet against the background of a bright twilight sky in the city. You will need binoculars or other light optics. The comet has already passed perihelion (the closest point to the Sun in its orbit) and is now moving away from it, which means its brightness will decrease (although sudden changes in brightness are not excluded).

Among my melodies there are several dedicated to comets. One of them is present in the 6th album of the cycle «Music of Celestial Spheres» and is called «Above the Earth with a Comet». Today I combined it with the most impressive photographs taken by the best astrophotographers of the Earth.

The full album «Music of Celestial Spheres - part 6 - story of a fallen star» is presented here:


You can buy and download a digital version in CD quality.


Clear skies to all!

«Trailblazer». Video version

«Trailblazer» is currently a non-album track. Although at one time it was composed for a very specific album, which is not yet completed. I have reviewed its concept several times, and over time I even forgot. But now, it seems, my attention to this music is returning. There was an intention to sort out the album and finally release it. It contains quite relevant music. Well, in the meantime, you can listen to this melody online.
