Composer David Ibbett will be presenting a new work for the Quad State Conference in Maine on Saturday, October 2, 2021.  David is a musical advocate for science and in this article entitled,  “The Sounds of Stars” he discusses his process and the relationship of his work to complex physics phenomena.

David recently presented Octave of Light at the Museum of Science. Octave of Light is a musical celebration of exoplanet science, created in collaboration with Roy Gould of the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics.
