Asteroseismologist Connie Aerts studied the frequencies of star HD 129929. Her work inspired the Dutch composer Willem Boogman to write Sternenrest, a composition for electric guitar, glass-percussion, the SPECTRA Ensemble and electronics, projected through a refined spatialisation system of almost 200 loudspeakers (Wave Field Synthesis). The narrative structure of the work follows the ‘life-cycle' of star HD 129929, from the birth, through to supernova and her remnants, followed by dawn.
