Science Talks Music and Vice Versa

One of the best things we have seen this summer on TV was PBS' special this past week, The Music Instinct: Science and Song. It paired up Bobby McFerrin (who captured Ivi's imagination at the Idaho Jazz Festival earlier this year) and scientist Daniel Levitin in an exploration of what the heck sound and music are really all about. Lots of great performances, or at least snippets thereof, by McFerrin himself as well as Daniel Barenboim, Yo Yo Ma and lots more. Watch interviews and other chunks at the site linked above.
