“Of Sound Before the Stars” by Jeff Talman premiered in 2020 at a Cosmic Sounds event in the 100-inch Telescope Dome at Mount Wilson Observatory. This video is a companion piece to “Discovering Our Universe”, a layperson’s guide to the remarkable astronomical breakthrough that happened 100 years ago this month in Pasadena, CA.

There was sound in the primordial plasma before stars, and that sound was instrumental in shaping the stars into existence. Jeff Talman’s Of Sound Before the Stars is sonic time travel, composed with sound modeled by astrophysicist Mark Whipple of the University of Virginia, on acoustic waveform data embedded in the Cosmic Microwave Background that yielded the first waves in the earliest time of the universe that instruments have detected. Further, these cosmic sounds are interwoven with glissandos modeled from the red-shift data captured by Mount Wilson Observatory’s 100-inch telescope that proved the expansion of space—more time travel, with thanks to Daniel Huber, astrophysicist at the University of Hawaii.
