If you liked the Symphony Of Science mass post i uploaded a few weeks back then you will like this too.
Its the latest Symphony Of Science staring David Attenborough, Jane Goodall & Carl Sagan.
Personally, I cant get enough of this kind of thing.
The Symphony of Science is a music project created by Washington-based electronic musician John Boswell. The project seeks to “spread scientific knowledge and philosophy through musical remixes.” Boswell uses pitch corrected audio and video samples from television programs featuring popular scientists and educators. The audio and video clips are mixed into digital mashups and scored with Boswell’s original compositions. Two of Boswell’s music videos, “A Glorious Dawn” and “We are All Connected”, feature appearances from Carl Sagan, Richard Feynman, Neil deGrasse Tyson, Bill Nye, and Stephen Hawking. The audio and video is sampled from popular science television shows including Cosmos, The Universe, The Eyes of Nye, The Elegant Universe, and Stephen Hawking’s Universe
Here are the 3 videos they have released so far.
Carl Sagan - ‘A Glorious Dawn’ ft Stephen Hawking
‘We Are All Connected’ (ft. Sagan, Feynman, deGrasse Tyson & Bill Nye)
‘Our Place in the Cosmos’ (ft. Sagan, Dawkins, Kaku, Jastrow)
I think its brilliant and beautiful in the same breath.
(Yes, faithful subscriber, I’m actually doing something with this site. Namely directing you to some wonderful things I’ve found on the Internet. That’s all we ever did with the podcast anyway. And no, the podcast is not dead. Just resting.)
This week’s Podcast Of The Week is The Night Air, from those good folks at Australia’s ABC Radio National. Presented by Brent Clough, it’s a delicious soundscape, heavily produced and slathered with fact. Although it is not quite the high-end science fest that certain future POTWs manage to be, TNA is a brilliant, sometimes trippy, slice of Aussie radio.
The Night Air – listening for pleasure: an audio adventure in which ideas, sounds and music are remixed around a new theme each week.
TNA is a listening experience animated by dub versions of ABC Radio National’s distinctive programming. Obliquely connected material is re-assembled with sonic glue - letting the listener’s imagination build a new story.
It’s a space to find the music in speech and the poetry in ideas, a show that invites you to take time to unravel the usual media tangle.
Hi! I seem to be able to access hipattack.com from somewhere convenient now. Isn’t that nice? I should probably mention that we did some podcasts over a month ago that haven’t yet been up on the site:
There was also another one but I believe that has joined the many podcasts that have been lost in the land of wind and ghosts. We’re not talking about the short-lived video version of the podcast ever again, and I don’t know when the next one will be up; there will probably be more podcasts once my enthusiasm gland is properly re-stimulated.
For now, here’s a video. Toodles! Alex
