Exploring the intersection between science and music this morning, in preparation for a project which will take place next spring.

A combination of music and images from cutting-edge research in the School of Biosciences will aim to highlight moments of beauty in in the mundane, or more functional, aspects of the scientific environment. Bringing together piano works including pieces by John Cage, Tarik O’Regan and Philip Glass, the experience involves drawing out the aesthetics of the laboratory environment and the scientific process, aspects which are often overlooked or ignored.

The project, in collaboration with Dr Dan Lloyd in Biosciences, will be unfurled next spring.
