Why this music
The music stays wide and cold — long sustained tones and spare orchestral textures that mirror Rama's impossible geometry. It never warms to human scale, because the book never does. As the expedition pushes deeper, the sound thickens almost imperceptibly, curiosity shading into something harder to name.
