This talk explores the connection between Music, Mathematics and Science from its origins in Ancient Greece to Glenn McClure’s recent work with the European Space Agency Operations Center Choir. He demonstrates how numerical data sets can be translated into melodies and harmonies, thereby rediscovering the dynamic relationship between Science and the Arts.
