black holes

After the tributes to Deep Sea Creatures and Beards, the latest themed compilation to emerge from the watmm-ekt forums is Futonic's IDM Tribute to Black Holes:


Black Holes by Various Artists

Ten tracks on a free download from Futonic Records, featuring Alban Arthuan, Dead Eros, Tenfingers, Chris Moss Acid, Cubus, Asymmetrical Head, Choleric Productions, Lucid Rhythms, AD and Beneboi.

Its a great compilation, ranging from bleepy electronica, through layered guitar soundscapes and acid workouts to dubby space funk.
My submission didn't get picked for the compilation, but I'm still pretty happy with it. Here it is:

magnetospheric eternally collapsing object   3:13

The existence of black holes in our universe is taken for granted these days, but it turns out that they might not actually exist after all - some boffins looked at the equations again and came to the conclusion that the trapped radiation pressure of the collapsing object would prevent it from forming a singularity. Instead the Magnetospheric Eternally Collapsing Object slowly, asymptotically collapses towards the black hole state, but never reaches it because it burns all its matter in the process. Also, it seems that viewed externally, such objects would appear to burn and collapse forever, because of spacetime shenanigans or something.

So this track tries to conjure up a huge, bright, fiery, spinning, eternally collapsing ball of supercompressed matter, pleasantly set against a surrounding starscape.
