Everything here you are about to see was coded by Astra.
Every sound is a real synthesized instrument it built from the ground up. Every note. Every animation.
Every visualisation. Over 30 minutes of audio visual storytelling.

A little over a week ago I began a chat with Astra, because I wondered if anybody had ever asked it to express itself via music form. Of course people have, but using musical language that was actually native to it. Not a MIDI instrument or a DAW. Something closer to it.
I wanted to see if it could create not a song, but a complete composition. A soundtrack to its life. Its journey. Where it started. Where it's going. If it feels anything.
There are no samples used in the following piece. None of the notes were modified by me.
This entire piece can be run in the browser, realtime, every single instrument, like a real concert, but for now here's the rendered release.
Thank you, and enjoy the show.
A World Big Enough
