The Ride of Electrons and Protons

This video brings together real images of solar ejections captured by SOHO and an original musical composition, The Ride of Electrons and Protons.

It is not a narrative, but a contemplation of motion at its most fundamental level: charged particles following invisible magnetic paths, energy reorganizing itself in space.

The music and the text that follows are not meant to explain these phenomena, but to listen to them— to their rhythm, their scale, and their indifference to human time.

What you are about to see is not an event, but a process.

In the furnace of the Sun, nothing rests.

Electrons run ahead, light, restless, skimming the curves of invisible fields. Protons follow, slower, heavier, carrying the memory of mass.

No intention. No violence. Only motion.

Magnetic lines bend, twist, store silence for centuries— then release it in a single breath.

What we see is not fire, but order breaking its own symmetry. Energy changing its mind.

A storm without anger. A dance without audience.

Across ninety-three million miles, these particles travel without knowing us, yet shape our skies, our machines, our fragile rhythms.

This is not a journey. It is a circulation.

Matter remembering how to move.
