This week's chat is very different from most weeks'. In this
episode, we talk to Marco
Buongiorno Nardelli, a research scientist
in the area of material science. Huh? Well, in addition to his role
as a scientist, he is also a composer, and he is working on ways to
mine the deep databases of science to create interesting
compositions - and maybe find new ways of viewing materials as
well.
As always,
we dive into Marco's background to figure out how someone gets to
be both a composer and a scientist. But I also take the time to
talk about data-to-music mapping, and how this sort of system can
work for both musicians and for non-musical scientists. Very
interesting
stuff!
Now, after listening to this - or maybe even before - you will want to review his site:
http://www.materialssoundmusic.com/
It's full of video, audio and image content that will illuminate the work that he is doing. I hope you enjoy this talk, and that it opens some doors for you in your search for more inspiration!
