Into The Eye Of The Black Hole
From Pablo Vega, the composer:
Giving it some narrative:
The beginning is the idea of a ship flying by and seeing something unexpected. The closer it gets, it realizes it's an anomaly like a black hole. As it gets closer, time starts getting warped (as portrayed by the key changes and the backgrounds going kind of crazy). Then the ship gets sucked in, and it starts malfunctioning. You can hear it in the music where it sounds like engines shut off, and it keep trying to kick start back on. Finally, the pilot takes a moment to look at where he/she is, and realizes how beautiful and still it is inside the eye. That's when the cello comes in. After a bit of traveling, the pilot sees there's an opening at the end, and the ship starts to come on one bit at a time. That's when the funky piano parts start kicking in, and then finally he flies out, on to the next adventure.
That's kind of how I planned the piece!
