Thelogan Posted June 27, 2011 Share Posted June 27, 2011 Wiki 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. The godfather of this is DoJ, who posted this I became enamored with the well crafted chorus, and I'm a fan of Carl Sagan anyway. Since then, I've found enough stuff from them I like that it demands consolidation, so that I'm not just posting a bunch of the same thing in "What are you listening to right now?".

the division of joy Posted September 13, 2011 Share Posted September 13, 2011 That was really, really awesome. What I perhaps loved the most was the Newton-esque scene with Hawking surrounded by apples, except around him there was a perfect circle of no apples. A bit too convenient for my liking, but it made me chuckle anyway. +1'd fo sho. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sinestetici Posted March 27, 2012 Share Posted March 27, 2012 The Alan Watts song is sublime...just, wow. Thanks for finding these, both of ya'll Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thelogan Posted March 27, 2012 Author Share Posted March 27, 2012 This page has a lot of my favorite people, but Alan Watts is probably my most favorite. I always make an attempt to strip away the occasional sugar coating of religion and get to the philosophy and purpose lying beneath when I approach this sort of thing. It's especially fulfilling with Watts, he was a brilliant man. SINCE I'M HERE ANYWAY: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sinestetici Posted March 27, 2012 Share Posted March 27, 2012 Watts helped me define my core belief system (I believe in all paths to God). Brilliant man. I wanna know if the other guy ever went on his trip. I hope so...he seems nice. If not totally freakin nuts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mortiis558 Posted October 20, 2012 Share Posted October 20, 2012 I dunno, hearing Bill Hicks and George Carlin being autotuned and having one of Bill's greatest monologues ever turned into a "song," half of me is trying to justify it as saying "well even if it gets just one more person to listen to and/or like Hicks/Carlin I can't complain, but the other half of me is thinking they are probably rolling in their graves when people do this kind of thing to their stand-up. +1 for the coolness of the people and message, -1 for auto-tune Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thrizzle Posted October 21, 2012 Share Posted October 21, 2012 I don't think either one of them would get worked up over this at all. It's not like it's a Mentos commercial. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
