Let the Music Do the Talking

You know, we in home planetaria are all about sight arent we - visuals .. from tiny lights to shimmering explosions - but the idea is born that some of a show could be in the total black of night .. a portion of a show could be ONLY sound - though i know kids fidget in total darkness, im covering my pilot lights on sound equipment with tape but you can still see them, and ive got a lighted exit sign (very dim) so that the eye can still reassuring see something - but sound alone can be such a big part of this, why not have a little part of a show thats ONLY sound .. music .. perhaps pre-big bang.. then a dot of light - the singularity .. from whence light came, and all sight. Perhaps the universe is based, no matter what specifically we believe, on great themes of music - could not sound have preceeded sight? Not in a vacuum you say, but we can bend those laws in the planetarium - stir the emotions and wonder with sound before light takes over.
