I am also an amateur musician. I studied classical and jazz music for about ten years at the conservatory, and I have taken quite an interest in electronic music. For the past few years, I have been trying to forge links between music and astronomy, two disciplines that are dear to me. I am involved in two separate artistic science outreach projects combining astronomy and music : Cosmic Pulse and Les 4 saisons de l'Univers

Cosmic Pulse

The Universe offers us wonderful pictures. Cosmic signals can also be sonified (translated into audible sounds). So you can hear the stars chirp, rumble or even sing a few sweet melodies. Added to this is the infinite, more subjective realm of music that the cosmos can inspire. In this all-audience astromusical conference in English, we will be discussing, looking at and listening to some astrophysical objects.

Les 4 saisons de l'Univers

Les 4 saisons de l'Univers is a cycle of four astro-musical conferences (spring, summer, autumn, winter) in which my scientific narrative is accompanied by a group of professional musicians performing a repertoire written especially for each season by drummer and composer Arnaud Le Meur. Astrophysics and music interact and play together to give the audience a sense of the dynamics at work in the Universe. Transdisciplinary, immersive and participatory, the 4 Seasons of the Universe take place outdoors or indoors (duration: approximately 1.5 hours) and are accompanied by high-definition images projected on a giant screen, observations of the night sky (weather permitting) and discussions with the audience after the show.
