John Matthias is a musician and composer. And a particle physicist. He’s speaking tonight at the final lecture in the Connections series at the Royal institution, Hearing Connections: The Sonification of Natural Systems, an examination of the processes behind transforming our neuronal connections into music. I asked him the same set of questions I asked the other presenters (see Daniel Jones’ answers), and particularly like John’s reading list.

[Royal Institution] Hearing Connections' Daniel Jones
Friday November 18, 2011 @ 11:40 AM (UTC)I’m wildly excited about next Monday’s lecture in the Connections series (the events I’m guest curating at the Royal Institution) – Hearing Connections: The sonification of natural systems. This is the final lecture in the series, and it takes a lateral step in the theme by looking at the physiological connections in our brains and how they can be used as inspiration for artistic expression. Specifically, the lecture is a demonstration of how a group of exceptionally talented musicians and scientists have translated neuronal pathways into sound.

[Royal Institution] Guest curating "Connections" with James Burke, The Serendipity Engine & Cortical Songs
Thursday September 15, 2011 @ 10:32 AM (UTC)I’m curating a series this November at The Royal Institution of Great Britain in London, and I’ve selected three events that fall under the umbrella, “Connections”: a lecture by science historian James Burke, an experimental classical music performance that takes its inspiration from neuronal patterns, and live demo of a machine that produces serendipity. It’s all very exciting.
