It is not the first time seeing the picture of a new comet has inspired me to create music. And probably not the last
The comet with the official name C/2025 F2 (SWAN) was discovered from images taken by SOHO's SWAN instrument in late March 2025. The comet was expected to reach a peak magnitude in early May 2025 however its brightening stagnated in mid April, indicating the comet possibly disintegrated before reaching the closests distance to the sun. It has an orbit period of 80000 years. So a rare visitor. Maybe this was its first and last visit. All left is glittering dust returning back to the dark far away from the sun.
I have turned this into music. Mostly classical orchestra but I also used electric and acoustic guitars, electrical bass, and a keyboard

What a splinded listen. Sweet, lyrical, mysterious. A love letter the the universe. It’s a little lonely here in classical. Great to hear piece Kenneth.
Celestial happenings inspire me as well. This is nicely put together, Kenneth. You have a nice chord progression, quite nice actually and a memorable melody. I liked the arpeggiation in the background. What's not to like?!
@PaulCurtis ooh. Inside my mind. That is a challenge I tell you Ha Ha. Yes I did think about this piece as a soundtrack. The story of first discovery of the comet and till it started falling appart
@Wyndsok you are not only a rock of this site. You are a comet, with close orbit, always visible on the iBandstabd sky except when recharging behind the sun. Thank you so much
@Bowman it means a lot to get your feedback on my classical pieces. They take a lot of time. I think I had 25 tracks going on this one. But I am pleased with the result even if it took many weeks
@soulima you make me very proud with your words. For a bloke that cannot read sheet music and learned music theory from You Tube videos and from trial and error, it means a lot to be acknowledged. Even if I know I have so much to learn and know so little still. Thank you
@Garni wow. Your words are so kind. I watch a lot of You Tube channels about astronomy and astrophysics. And naturally I get inspired when a visitor like a comet comes by. I am yet to see one with my naked eyes. It has always been rain and cloudy when the big ones passed.
