It’s been awhile since I’ve checked in on John Boswell’s Symphony of Science project, so I was hoping to find something new. Not only did I find, “The Case for Mars,” but a significantly improved website design.

Here’s a short clip of a movie made entirely by chimpanzees. This bit of genius will be broadcast by the BBC as part of a natural history documentary. On the down side, the video is a little shaky. On a positive note, it’s better than anything I’ve seen by Oliver Stone.

I just listened to BT’s new single, “Every Other Way” and was blown away.

This may not what many electronic music aficionados are used to, but fans of BT will hear strong references to his past couple of releases, particularly,”This Binary Universe.” This nine minute plus release features layers of Brian’s signature blips, bleeps along side choice analog instruments along side a mesmerizing melody carried by guest vocalist Jes’ vocals, which range from sublime to soaring,

From the very first note to the last, this nine minute plus offering has something interesting to offer. If you like electronic music, this is a must listen. If you don’t, give it 30 seconds. You just might find something brand new for you music collection.

Another wonderful bit of work from the Symphony of Science project.

Sandy shared this with me the other day after discussing the explosion of auto-tune remixes on YouTube. Something about this makes me smile, brings me peace, and makes me feel, well… connected. Enjoy.

Here’s some creative, technological goodness for you. Now help me get the tune out of my head!
