What a Physicist Writing About the Big Bang Does to a Record: Piglets DDeep Forest and My Journey Into Space
A Warsaw Space Rock Band Sets the Big Bang to a Slow-Building Art Rock Song
Piglets DDeep Forest is built around two people. Dr Monika Paluch-Ferszt, a physicist at the University of Warsaw, sings, plays theremin and writes the words. Meanwhile, engineer Adam “Multi” Paluch writes the music and plays most of it. My Journey Into Space is what that pairing produces. It is a space rock song about the Big Bang from their 2023 album DDeep in Time. The song also got its own video on 29 September 2024.
Piglets DDeep Forest’s My Journey Into Space sits in the playlist below, among this desk’s experimental rock, krautrock and art rock, and the band’s artist profile gathers their wider coverage. The song reached BestRock.News through PopHits.Co Music Charts, which verifies independent artists and places their releases across its network of music news titles. Press play, then read on for how a physicist’s Big Bang story became a slow-building rock song.
A Quark That Wants to Leave Earth Is the Hook of My Journey Into Space by Piglets DDeep Forest
First, the band states its method as a formula on its site: Science Rock equals Space plus Prog times Alt Rock. It reads like a joke. Still, it is also an accurate description of the records.
The first album, DDeep in Time, came out on 3 December 2023. It is a concept record about a character called the Little Quark of Energy, born inside a nuclear reactor. In fact, the whole album is set around a nuclear power station, and My Journey Into Space is its eighth song.
The hook is the character’s next step. By the band’s own account, the quark has found fulfilment on Earth and now wants to head out into space. So the song places a simple, relatable wish inside a very large subject. As a result, it has a direction from its first bar.
What the Lyric Covers, From the Big Bang to a Quark’s Departure
Paluch-Ferszt writes the lyrics. According to the band, the song tells the story of the Big Bang and the creation of the universe. At the same time, it carries the album’s story forward. In other words, the cosmic history and the small character share the same few minutes.
A physicist writing about the Big Bang changes what the words are doing. Here, the science is not decoration borrowed for atmosphere. Instead, it is the writer’s working subject, set to a rock arrangement. Meanwhile, the quark gives it a point of view that a textbook would not have.
A Slow Build, a Theremin and a Museum Video Give My Journey Into Space Its Shape
The recording credits are short. Paluch-Ferszt handles vocals, theremin and lyrics. Paluch plays bass, guitars, keyboards and percussion, and he also wrote the music and arrangement. In addition, Kamil Roloff plays guitars and recorded the track, while Sławek “Sowa” Puchała plays drums and percussion.
The theremin is a telling choice, because it is played without being touched. Bernard Herrmann used it in his score for The Day the Earth Stood Still in 1951. Ever since, its eerie tone has stood for outer space on screen. Here, it gives the Big Bang a sound that listeners already connect with the sky.
York Calling heard the song as a slow-builder that grows in complexity before arriving at a crescendo. It runs just over five minutes. Moreover, it uses that time the way the lyric uses its subject: it starts small and then widens.
The Official Video Sends Marie Skłodowska-Curie Through Time to Help the Band Play a Concert
The video carries the same idea. Marcin Modzelewski directed it, and Adam Delor filmed and edited it. Paluch-Ferszt plays Marie Skłodowska-Curie. In the story, Curie finds a lilac crystal with magical powers. Then she travels through time and space to help the band put on a concert, as Testing Melodies described it.
Scenes were filmed at the Maria Skłodowska-Curie Museum in Warsaw, which also lent the band Curie’s dress. Meanwhile, the concert scenes were shot at Klub Potok on Potocka Street. So far, the official video has passed 56,000 views.
Space Rock Ancestors, Coverage Abroad and What Comes Next for the Band in Warsaw
The reference points are clear. For example, David Bowie sent Major Tom away from Earth on Space Oddity in 1969. That is the closest ancestor of a song about a character choosing to leave. Similarly, Hawkwind spent the 1970s building space rock out of long, gradual builds. My Journey Into Space takes the same patient route to its peak.
Coverage followed in several countries. York Calling wrote from the UK, and the German-language Musik Galaxie covered it too. Meanwhile, Info Music in France, End Sessions in Mexico and Indieoclock in Brazil all picked up the video.
Since then, the band has added guitarists and released a second album, DDeep In Soul, in 2026. Next up in Warsaw are an open rehearsal on 24 October and a concert at VooDoo on 6 November 2026.
Overall, the song suits listeners who like space rock with a story. It also suits anyone who prefers their science told by someone who actually does it.
From the BestRock.News curator team: “My Journey Into Space builds slowly and earns its crescendo. A song about the Big Bang by a working physicist could have been a lecture. Instead, the theremin and the long build make it a rock song.”
