I’ve unintentionally turned this into a video-only week of posts, but after someone posted this to Facebook earlier I was so impressed that I had to repost it here.
A lot of nerdy music, and especially nerdcore hip-hop, focuses on consumer-based traits of geeks and nerds like science fiction movies and video games. Some, like my friend Steve Rush (whom you know as funky49) have included science in their music. (His Rapbassador album deserves its own post here.) But I think this is the first time I’ve seen anyone effectively put music into science instead of the other way around.
There are, so far, only two videos available at symphonyofscience.com, but they are devastating works and if we’re lucky there are more to come.
As noted on the site, Sagan’s landmark series, Cosmos, is available on Hulu. You know what to do.
Awesome! I like that “just a speck” line from Bill Nye. I’m inspired with another track idea for a new science-rap album… tentatively titled the Dirty Apes EP. Thanks!!!
That Nye clip resonates with me too. New EP = good news!
