In this episode, Jeff chats with Glenn McClure (@glenn.mcclure), eco-musician and composer, about his path traveling the world and capturing the voice of the Earth. McClure discusses his compositional approach to translating natural mathematical data into music, his time with the European Space Agency, and his travels to Antarctica through the U.S. National Science Foundation. He also covers the value of collaborating with people both inside and outside of the field of music and expanding musicians’ musical palate. This is a fascinating conversation on the intersection of science and music.
