Music, art, and science

I recently stumbled across a couple of artistic and musical items about science on nanopublic (Dietram Scheufele’s blog) in a posting from Wednesday, May 12, 2010, When art meets science: “Symphony of Science.” (ETA, May 19, 2010: link to specific post) There’s  a reference to an interview with Adam Bly, founder and editor of SEED MAGAZINE (science-oriented magazine) talking about “What science can learn from the arts” on the Big Think website. It’s an excerpt from a 2008 interview with Bly, a Canadian born in Montréal, Québec, now living in New York City. In the same item, Scheufele features a video titled, “Symphony of Science” (SOS) from the website of the same name. From the SOS website,

The Symphony of Science is a musical project headed 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.

The project owes its existence in large measure to the wonderful work of Carl Sagan, Ann Druyan, and Steve Soter, of Druyan-Sagan Associates, and their production of the classic PBS Series Cosmos, as well as all the other featured figures and visuals.

So there it is: music, art, and science.
