A Symphony of Science is Unfolding

admin — Thu, 26 Nov 2009 04:15:21 +0000

The Symphony of Science is a musical project by John Boswell designed to deliver scientific knowledge and philosophy in musical form. Here you can watch music videos, download songs, read lyrics and find links relating to the messages conveyed by the music. Who knew the likes of Carl Sagan, Richard Feynman, Neil deGrasse Tyson and Bill Nye could teach us about the universe and sing. With the help of modern autotuning technology, digital sampling and his impressive video editing skills, Boswell weaves together haunting melodies and stunning visuals in this growing collection of science music. So far he is focusing on the wonders of the cosmos, but this approach could be used to promote biology and botany just as easily. Let’s hope the Symphony of Science continues to unfold and expand.
