Nice accompaniment to the wonders of the Universe.  We are so fortunate to live in such an interesting mysterious math-driven environment where not everything makes sense yet,

Beautiful work, Jerry. Both the astrophotos and the music.  I really enjoyed listening to the music. 

What libraries do you use primarily for the orchestral realization?

I have the Hubble deep field photo as the background on both of my monitors, so it was on one while your video was playing on the other. 😉

Are you going to release the entire series as a  compilation  at some point?

Thanks Martin, I'm glad you enjoyed the music video.

I've been using the VSL Symphonic Cube for over a decade and will continue to use it until I die.  It has so many great samples, quite a few that I haven't even explored deeply yet.   I also use:

VSL Appassionata Strings, VSL Solo Strings, Vienna Choir, Requiem Professional Choir and East West Choirs (with their word builder software)

Fantastic is right. Relaxing, dramatic, awe inspiring, serene, expansive, boy are we a speck. I didn’t realize you also do the astrophotography, amazing. Thanks for posting

Do you use a notation program, or Cakewalk/Sonar, and if the latter, do you play the parts in?

I use Cakewalk exclusively, I've been using it as my sequencer/DAW since 1991.    I use Sibelius for scores/parts.

I don't play any parts in.  I used to do that when I was doing commercial scoring, but I've gotten very fast at using the mouse to enter parts and editing all the needed CCs that I don't bother playing them in.   I still play piano though all the time!
