Description
Of the 70 trillion stars that exist in the cosmos, a pulsar has come into focus. A pulsar is a neutron star
that has mutated from a gas giant of 1-2 solar masses after the material
resources necessary for its existence were used up by a gravitational collapse
in a massive supernova explosion into a dwarf star consisting exclusively of atomic
nuclei with a diameter of 10-20 km. In the process, it develops
the unimaginable rotation speed of 0.001 seconds (the Earth needs 24 hours for
this) and hurls lightning pulses into space that can be received with radio
telescopes. On the outside, these
processes take place measurably with the metric precision of a cosmic atomic
clock. The intraprocessual polymetric
physical mutations, however, remain hidden from us. But this state of existence
also comes to an end when the substance of the atomic nuclei is exhausted. Then the pulsar collapses into
a black hole and disappears into pure massless energy in the singularity. Up to this point, the
composition lives from the unwavering continuity of the cosmic metronome. As a thank you and a tribute,
I dedicate my composition "Pulsars" to the memory of my friends and
teachers Hans Werner Henze and Bernd Alois Zimmermann
