What does the universe sound like? A musical tour | Matt Russo

The TED Talks channel features the best talks and performances from the TED Conference, where the world's leading thinkers and doers give the talk of their lives in 18 minutes (or less). Look for talks on Technology, Entertainment and Design -- plus science, business, global issues, the arts and more.

I started crying when he talked about the auditory planetarium. I haven’t been able to see the stars for the last 14 years or so. I need to experience this! As a visually impaired musician who is also a lover of outer space, that would probably be life changing for me.

Light converted into sound. Movement converted into a (naturally occurring) rhythm

Mind blown!

Now THAT is a musical message you send to a specific star system! That kind of intelligence will get us some respect

_What does the universe sounds like?_




Universe: **plays Despacito 5**

[timtimh]

The universe sounds mysterious, beautiful, strange, scary, sad, joyful, empty, loud & quiet

[SpiritedAway]

Could he make this into actual tracks and upload then on YouTube separately?

My dream is to be at Ted Talk, speaking to people!

[samuelkarlsson]

I could imagine this "musical astronomy" becoming a niche genre of music in the future. I´m certainly hoping that it does.

One of the most interesting Ted's I've seen and heard. Simply Amazing!

[e.gundogan]

I've accidentally learnt a little from the music theory by watching this video, so thanks. Appreciate it.

[BusinessRaptor]

This guy doesn't realize that what's stringing all of this together is the human brain.

[mas_ardhii]

I am so wondering about blackhole sound

[jhen]

Elaborate plan to get people to listen to his music worked wonderfully

[MrMasterKaio]

Amazing talk. Great talent! I haven't been blown away by a TED talk like this in a long time. Hugely insipring, too.

[CTmoog]

Great demonstration. Love that guitar!

[aaronanderson]

The short piano riff for the constellations at the beginning of the video is awesome. If anyone knows how to play these or know where I can find the score for these, that would be greatly appreciated.

[ashvinaprabhu]

Best way to express it. Universe is beyond everything.

[anandagaire]

PROBABLY THE BEST THING I SAW ON INTERNET TODAY. ♥ IT

[davidheatherly]

Amazing & Beautiful. Thank you so much.

[annajurak]

That was an amazing expirence. Music of the universe - I love it.

[juanpabloarrieta]

I knew this talk is well done when I heard the composition he made on his guitar.
