Shattering Suns Symphony |
Here "The Heart of the Sun" -- central movement of
Shattering Suns, a symphony written by
Stephen
Taylor, and inspired by images of celestial catastrophe. This movement
represents a portrait of the Sun, an atomic furnace which contracts and
expands as a living being breathes. The music is built on the breathing
-- the sounds of the Sun, as recorded by SOI researchers -- and played
by a synthesizer. |

Christopher Reynolds and Urrealism
"We consider the cosmos and all that is in it to be a work of art. Urrealist
practice deepens the experience of the natural world and we find this
pleroma is just as much a form of inspiration and language as the art
of humanity." Listen to Christopher Reynolds' cosmology- and solar-symbolism
music, and read more about the urrealist thoughts at

Dramatic Artist Celebrates Connection between Music, DNA, and Light --
Bioheliosynthesis!
Digital artist Brian LaRossa has creatively explored the relationship
between human and solar energy by using music to translate DNA into light.
His exquisite imagery unites the visual portion of a human chromosome
with selected tones and hues into a light-based conceptual whole. According
to LaRossa, the experience is comprised of precisely choreographed orbits
of cycling color and related sound that, when blended together, create
a meditative climate. See and hear more at
Brian's website. |
