lyrics

The connection between science and music has a long and fascinating history. MUSICA UNIVERSALIS is a philosophical concept that regards proportions in the movements of celestial bodies – the Sun, Moon, and planets – as a form of music.

The theory originated in Ancient Greece and was a tenet of Pythagoras, and was later developed by 16th-century astronomer Johannes Kepler. Kepler did not believe this "music" to be audible, but felt that it could nevertheless be heard by the soul.

“The theory of relativity occurred to me by intuition, and music was the driving force behind that intuition. My discovery was the result of musical perception.” - Albert Einstein

“We are slowed down sound and light waves, a walking bundle of frequencies tuned into the cosmos. We are souls dressed up in sacred biochemical garments and our bodies are the instruments through which our souls play their music.” - Albert Einstein
