Universum is a loose chronology of the universe, expressed through a hybrid of orchestral and electronic instrumental music. From ambient atmosphere to symphonic song to percussive pulse, Universum is an intense journey from theoretical beginning to theoretical end.
For those into astronomy and future cosmology predictions, the full album assumes no proton decay and a continual universe expansion.
Music genres in the album are large orchestra (mostly with electronic accompaniment), electronic dance music (in the form of trance and a mix of future garage and dubstep), surprise jazz rock for one track, and ambient.
Forms present include through-composed, strophic, ternary, rounded binary, and sonata.
Universum is essentially an imaginary cinematic production soundtrack with the goal of conveying a visual message first, the overwhelming and emotional experience second, and the literal music third.
