I am also an amateur musician. I studied classical and jazz music for about ten years at the conservatory and later developed a strong interest in electronic music. Over the past few years, I have been exploring ways to build bridges between music and astronomy, two fields that deeply inspire me. This exploration has led to two science–art outreach projects, Cosmic Pulse and Les 4 saisons de l’Univers, which blend astronomical concepts with musical creation to offer new ways of experiencing science. These projects have been recognized with the ULB Prize for Science Communication 2024 and the Wernaers Prize for Science Communication 2025.

The 4 seasons of the Universe

The 4 seasons of the Universe (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.

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, we will be discussing, looking at and listening to some astrophysical objects.
