The Stellar Project

Stellar explores humankind’s relationship with space - how our evolving understanding of the cosmos seems to change it and us.

Featuring music by Giovanni Piacentini, Madeline Barrett, and Tomàs Peire-Serrate, with texts by Doug Woolsey and Madeline Barrett, these songs celebrate the achievements of scientists, engineers, and pilots; honor three famous spacecraft; explore the wonders of light and gravity; and speak to our global fascination with space.
