about

MAGNETAR is an instrumental track inspired by one of the most enigmatic objects in the universe, the Magnetar.

The hypnotic synth lines (Minimoog) are recursive and in 12/8 meter, intersecting with the main 4/4 meter of the piece. They symbolize the curved force-field lines surrounding the collapsed star. Another Minimoog is used for the main bass line, later joined by an E-Bass. The main melody is performed by 2 clean E-guitars, contrasting with hybrid synth-hits and distorted E-guitars that symbolize the destructive force of the Magnetar. The rhythm section features, beside a combination of acoustic and electronic elements, 2 live udu-drums.

A Magnetar is a special type of Neutron Star, characterized by an extremely powerful magnetic field. Neutron Stars are the result of the collapsed core of a giant star. They are made of super-dense degenerated matter (neutronium) and have a radius of just about 10-20 km. A spoonful of neutronium would have a mass of over 100 million tons.
