Neil deGrasse Tyson Stars in New Symphony of Science

Elec­tron­ic musi­cian John Boswell has just released the 12th install­ment in his “Sym­pho­ny of Sci­ence” series. Onward to the Edge cel­e­brates the adven­ture of space explo­ration and fea­tures the auto-tuned voic­es of astro­physi­cist Neil deGrasse Tyson, par­ti­cle physi­cist Bri­an Cox and plan­e­tary sci­en­tist Car­olyn Por­co. It’s a mashup of mate­r­i­al from four sources: Tyson’s My Favorite Uni­verse video course, Cox’s BBC series Won­ders of the Solar Sys­tem, a TED talk by Por­co and scenes from Nation­al Geo­graph­ic’s A Trav­el­er’s Guide to the Plan­ets.

The “Sym­pho­ny of Sci­ence” grew out of Boswell’s 2009 video, A Glo­ri­ous Dawn, which stitch­es togeth­er scenes from Carl Sagan’s Cos­mos and Stephen Hawk­ing’s Uni­verse and has been viewed over six mil­lion times on YouTube. You can down­load a free dig­i­tal album of all 12 songs from the series, along with a bonus track, here. H/T Boing­Bo­ing
