Alternative Histories is a cycle of compositions united by a common idea: all their titles are phrases from the books of our great contemporary Stephen Hawking, mainly, The Grand Design and A Brief History of Time.
Divorced from their original context, these phrases evoked a wide range of thoughts and associations: of an alternative life path, the edge of the world, and even an impending apocalypse.
We will necessarily touch upon quantum physics, the double-slit experiment, and quantum superposition, embodied by the famous Schrödinger’s cat. The cat moves between alternative timelines, unaware that it is being subtly watched by the Observer, whose very observation changes the course of events…
