  • Hybrid Music Vibes: Max Frimout explores the use of augmented reality in sound

    Most people think of augmented reality as visual, but artist Max Frimout finds this a limited take on AR. He finds sound and how it interacts with your physical positioning as a listener much more interesting. During Hybrid Music Vibes, Frimout has further developed the concept of the Odio app, an app which allows the…

  • Waves, Light and Sound – Physics 101 / AP Physics 1 Review with Physics Girl

    “Lesson 17 (Waves, Light, and Sound) of Dianna’s Intro Physics Class on Physics Girl. Never taken physics before? Want to learn the basics of physics? Need a review of AP Physics concepts before the exam? This course is for you! “

  • This Blind Astrophysicist ‘Sees’ the Universe in the Most Amazing Way

    “Wanda Diaz-Merced studies the universe through sound. After losing her eyesight in early adulthood, she found a way to continue her work as an astrophysicist by converting scientific data into sound.”

  • The Sound of Space (Use Your Headphones)

    “In space, electromagnetic vibrations exist and can be mapped as sound. These electromagnetic vibrations pulsate in different wavelengths and can be recorded by sepcial equipment in NASA’s spacecrafts. The recordings are then translated into sounds that our ears could hear.”

You can hear the roar of a space shuttle launch or Neil Armstrong’s “One small step for (a) man, one giant leap for mankind” every time you get a phone call if you…

  • NASA Listens in as Electrons Whistle While They Work

    “Space is not empty, nor is it silent. While technically a vacuum, space nonetheless contains energetic charged particles, governed by magnetic and electric fields, and it behaves unlike anything we experience on Earth. In regions laced with magnetic fields, such as the space environment surrounding our planet, particles are continually tossed to and fro by…

  • Is there Sound in Space?

    “Sound can’t actually travel through a vacuum like space, but scientists have learned that there’s still plenty to hear.”- SciShow

  • Crab Nebula Sonification

    “The Crab Nebula has been studied by people since it first appeared in Earth’s sky in 1054 A.D. Modern telescopes have captured its enduring engine powered by a quickly spinning neutron star that formed when a massive star collapsed. The combination of rapid rotation and a strong magnetic field generates jets of matter and anti-matter…
