Dark Energy: a theoretical repulsive force that counteracts gravity and causes the universe to expand at an accelerating rate”
This quartet is inspired by the recently discovered Dark Energy, a form of energy responsible for the acceleration and expansion of space beyond the result of the Big Bang. The string quartet begins in slow-motion and in a small register, progressively it gets faster, and it expands.
