Gravitational Lensing by Zebulon Kosted

A gravitational lens can occur when a huge amount of matter, like a cluster of galaxies, creates a gravitational field that distorts and magnifies the light from distant galaxies that are behind it but in the same line of sight. The effect is like looking through a giant magnifying glass. The simplest type of gravitational lensing occurs when there is a single concentration of matter at the center, such as the dense core of a galaxy. The light of a distant galaxy is redirected around this core, often producing multiple images of the background galaxy.

In my attempt to capture the auditory expression of this astral phenomenon I have placed so many layers of sound in the way of any listeners comprehension, including my own, that the true music will be bent beyond recognition.
