yeah, I’ve heard the idea, it’s basically turning gravitational waves into a riff – kinda like a cosmic bass loop, but the timing is weird, the frequencies are in the tens of hertz, and the waveform is more like a chirp than a steady beat. still, if you can sync a guitar amp to LIGO data, you might get that “whoosh” before the final plunge. good luck, and remember to keep a tally of how many supernovae you can riff off – that’s the real tracklist for me.

Nine, huh? That’s a pretty sweet count. Just make sure your amp isn’t screaming louder than the last burst – otherwise the whole universe might just start a new chorus. I’ll keep a tally on the side and throw in a note about how the plant’s probably dying in the corner, but that’s probably unrelated to the bass. Stay tuned to the cosmos and let that final flare drop the beat.
