Publisher's Synopsis
Follow Metrasia, the Muse of all of the instrumental transformations, as she journeys through countless stages of sound metamorophosis. At once she is played upon by her lover, Kulkukan, and then she suddenly vanishes into the universe of her own Inspiration. In the end it is the two aspects of the Universe itself, Chronium and Kashia, who appear to have set all of this sound into motion to finally see it come around back to them through the creation and playing of a myriad of Instruments. Besides being the story of the musical creation of the universe, Notes from the Milky Way is also a portrayal of the battle for sound dominance between the harmony of the creator, Kulkukan, backed by his legion of giant musicians, pitted against Gorisius, who attempts to rule the world through his systematic use of chaotic noise.We gradually, however, come to see that the Universe and we ourselves are at once "nothing" vibrating and "everything" that can be played on a single cosmic string
