Bay Area composer scores the soundtrack of outer space
From KALW | 08:36
If you've been to the planetarium at the California Academy of Sciences recently, then you've heard Christopher Hedge's work on the show "Life: A Cosmic Story." Hedge is an accomplished composer and musician, but creating the sound design for the state-of-the-art Morrison Planetarium was a unique challenge. The room features a complex network of speakers that lets him place sounds in a three-dimensional space. But how could he use it? What does Saturn sound like? Or for that matter, the inside of a cell?
KALW's Martina Castro met up with Christopher Hedge at the Magic Shop Studio to see how he brings ethereal and elemental sounds to life.
