This brand new “Music of the Spheres” program by Ebb & Flow Arts is our third presentation at Imiloa. We fuse Science and Art. For millennia “music of the spheres” was a concept and construct of the the greatest scientific minds including Pythagoras and Kepler. They believed that Music and Mathematics aligned in their pure, inalterable proportions to explain our Cosmos. Electricity and Light are both waveforms according to Tesla. Thus, E&FA’s combination of electronic Music with planetaria and full dome, abstract imagery creates a unique environment for Music, Science and Art.
