Through the Spiral is about a short but exciting journey through our great Milky Way galaxy! ![]()

At first, a gradually building texture increases in density as more and more stars begin to shine in the blackness. This gives way to large-scale chords, rising and falling in great height like giant nebula and cloud dust. A more majestic and expressive chorale takes over, as we move past great planets and moons. As the opening star-like texture returns, building in intensity and with added percussion, we near a black hole, at the centre of the galaxy. ![]()

The final rhythmic section is a race back through the galaxy, as stars, nebula, planets and asteroids whiz by, concluding with a triumphant fanfare as we take a look back at the great ‘Spiral’.
