After taking another look at this blog, especially over the past year, I’ve decided I can do more. To that end, ThisCrazyCosmos will explore an exciting partnership of astronomy and music, that will greatly enhance the experience of the observer. This is not a new relationship, but a common thread that continually runs through this blog.
We have all felt the power and passion great music brings to our senses. There’s something very special happening, speaking in a universal language understood across the world and probably Across the Universe.
Imagine looking up at the stars across the night sky, peering through a powerful telescope at the image of Saturn, or the Horsehead Nebula deep within the constellation Orion. Now blend in DVD quality audio and the sound of appropriate music takes you on a cosmic journey through the universe.
Pink Floyd, David Gilmour, Electric Light Orchestra, Beatles, George Harrison, Paul McCartney, John Lennon, Jimi Hendrix, Neil Young, Jeff Beck, and the Moody Blues come to mind.
I once saw a live band play in an observatory and the sound was awesome. The domes that house the giant telescopes are perfect acoustic environments for the absolute best viewing experience of any amateur astronomer that likes music.
