Symphony of Science - Carl Sagan

Symphony of Science - Carl Sagan - A Glorious Dawn

by Jeff on Nov.14, 2010,under News

I don't think it's overstating the matter to say that the PBS series "Cosmos" was influential -- key, even -- to who I became and my view of the universe; also, it helped establish my love of electronic music.

So, color me surprised and delighted to find that some enterprising soul took some of Carl's monologue, autotuned the heck out of it and pulled it together into something that approximates a song. Heck, it's even available on vinyl!

I'll try to hunt down a copy for the show sometime soon, but for now I'm pleased to link to it. Enjoy.
