The project

Gravistar is one songwriter and many worlds.

Lyrics: I write the words. Every song starts there.
Music: I shape each world with AI: the style, where it speeds up, where it breathes, where it stops. Most versions don't make it.
Music videos: I curate them: the story, the style, every cut.

Same words, different worlds: the same love song can be nu-disco, garage rock or chamber pop, the same panic attack industrial or post-punk.

Gravastar

Almost all my songs hide small pieces of real science, and so does the name.

A gravastar is a hypothetical object, proposed in 2001 by the physicists Pawel Mazur and Emil Mottola as an alternative to black holes. From outside it is almost impossible to tell from a black hole: it bends space and light the same way.

Inside, though, there is no singularity, the point where the laws of physics stop working: there is a bubble of vacuum energy, closed in an extremely thin shell of extremely dense matter. Nobody has ever observed one. It is still a hypothesis, and a beautiful idea.

Why it's called Gravistar

I wanted a name about attraction that wasn't just another “star”, and the gravastar seemed even more beautiful than a black hole. Gravistar is a nod to it, twisted on purpose: those who know it recognise it, for everyone else it is gravity and a star.

And it is an open name, one that can hold a nu-disco love song and an industrial panic attack.

Inside: Vacuum energy, still; p = −ρ
Shell: Ultra-dense matter, extremely thin; p = +ρ
Outside: Same as a black hole; Schwarzschild
