Celebrating 10 years of remixing scientists with a mashup of my earliest work. It all began with a goofy remix of Carl Sagan I thought nobody would ever see - I had no idea what I was doing or where I was going, but I was having fun. The response blew me away. I owe everything to you guys - my deepest thanks to everyone who has followed along on this weird and wild creative journey and made the whole thing possible.

I kinda cringe at the quality of those old videos, but the spirit is much the same, and I hope you dig this little nostalgic trip back through the past decade.

I always thought my dream job would be a musician or film composer. But this trip has taught me that filmmaking is where my passion is strongest. Exploring the endless possible synergies between visuals, music, sound, and thought will keep me occupied for a lifetime. I am slowly phasing out the use of auto-tune as I gear up for the next phase in this creative journey, which will be to deliver truly mind-bending, sensory rich experiences that explore the frontiers of human knowledge.

This journey is just beginning. Big things are in store. I would love for you to join me for the next 10 years.

Follow along for more deep thoughts and deep tunes :)

Peace and love,

    Can't believe it's been 10 years. Thanks for being a part of this wild ride with me. To be honest, I can barely watch my old videos - they are so amateur compared to what I'm working on now - but I hope you dig this nostalgic trip through the past decade. Any questions? Thoughts?

    This gave me chills. As a current phd student struggling with depression and felling a bit disillusioned about how science is actually performed these days this reminded me of the pure excitement and wonder that inspired me to start this journey and that resonated so deeply in your symphony of science videos. Thank you so much for their creation. I have been watching for quite some time, I know all the words to a few of them and most of the words to the rest. Now to go watch them all again. :)

    I have discovered you in 2010 when I started my PhD. Your music made me feel so proud to be a scientist and listening to it, I felt like a part of larger community, of people in awe of nature and scientific method. I may no longer be a scientist by profession, but I will always remain proud of this community. Even though it has its faults (quite a few, I think), people of science continue to inspire me. Thank you for bridging this gap between science and the arts.

    How ten years have flown... I remember hearing "A Glorious Dawn" for the first time one night in late 2009. I was so enraptured with how you'd created something that expresses such a love of astronomy, science, and, of course, music. Over the course of the following year - the most turbulent year of my life - listening to these remixes helped more than I can say. I remember sharing one of them with my aunt one day when were stranded in a motel in California, and even though I'm sure it wasn't really her cup of tea, she could hear the beauty in it... Ten years later, I still get excited about whatever new upload comes out. Long story short, thank you so much for your work! <3

    I just found your music a month ago, and I've listened to it on repeat for hours at a time. It's the most hopeful, worshipful music I've heard since I abandoned Christian superstition two years ago. Please never stop making this music.

    Our future is gloriously bright, we have but to grasp it

    Man I remember watching A Glorious Dawn and a few others for the first time in my 7th grade middle school science class thanks to a really nice science teacher I had. I believe it was around the time when you released the quantum theory song. I got home that night and listened to every single one you had put out and have continued to keep up with them over the last 7-8 years. Crazy how fast time flies, I'm in my 3rd year of college now. Thanks for all the work you've put into these man, and all your remixes for that matter. Best of luck for all your future endeavors my man

    GOOSEBUMPS on my GOOSEBUMPS.. I'm sitting in the breakroom at work trying to hold back tears. Such a beautiful remix of the last 10 years

    S.o.S. is how I discovered Carl Sagan, his works, other great and fantastic scientists and my love for science. It all started with these inspiring, knowledgeable, intricately deep and musically amazing videos. Thank you melodysheep, without your work my life would be profoundly different.
