Vidiksis-NGC 981 (SP)-Djembe/FL

NGC 981 for Flute and Djembe by Adam Vidiksis portrays the explosion of a massive star with the plane of a galaxy of the same name. Traveling approximately 60 million light years away toward the constellation Aries, one will find an island universe about 50,000 light years across. This spiral galaxy, named NGC 981, was host to this massive star explosion. This piece portrays the event, from the intensity of this massive explosion as it ripples through the universe, the immensity of the galaxy itself, to the beauty of this colossol phenomenon.
