Driven by powerful female vocals and symphonic rock, "One Interval Stayed" is my personal tribute to Jocelyn Bell Burnell. At just twenty-four, she detected a mysterious pulse buried in miles of radio-telescope recordings, leading to the discovery of the first pulsar. In 1974, her supervisor received the Nobel Prize for his role in that discovery. She received no Nobel. Blending period-inspired acoustic textures with modern rock, this song celebrates her extraordinary persistence and the breakthrough that changed astronomy. Born from my deep admiration for her, it tells of a universe that kept repeating her signal, even when its discoverer was left out of the highest honor.more
