      Hey Mikko -

      Very glad you're enjoying the album. Vinyl production is underway and we should be seeing a test printing in the next couple of weeks - we'll update everybody then. Cheers!

      Absolutely love the album, been enjoying the CD in my car for weeks and it's only growing on me more :) Any estimates on the LP-record release? I'm glad you're not rushing the production of that LP-record.

      This is a really beautiful album :) I'm starting to regret not getting the physical copy, but the shipping would just be a bit too much. Guess I'll have to make do with the amazing wallpaper!

      But Thatnks for your work on creating this magnificent album. Now I know what I'm gonna listen to for the next while :D

      Another fun (and possibly funny) song - how/why males court females with of color, vibrancy, and ostentatious displays. :)

      Also. Light. The principles of light. How it acts like a wave and a particle, frequency, different types of light, etc. That stuff has me in awe. In fact, almost every branch of science does. You cannot know how thrilled I am for this project.

      Really looking forward to embedding your music into my physics classes and labs...oh, my lucky students! It would be great - and a real musical and lyrical challenge - to have a piece of musics covering uncertainty in measurement (along with precision, reliability, accuracy, systematic & random error, etc) I think Prof. Walter Lewin has several good soundbites on the subject... And there's always R.P. Feynman too. Thanks for inspiring and congratulations on the funding. Nick (a Brit in Deutschland)

      That was lucky, I'm so far behind with my email I only just realised about the project with 3 hours to go. Once I saw FLAC as an option, there really was no option but to buy in too.

      Like Gabriel Falcutescu, i am not exaggerating when i say that the 'Symphony of Science' project changed my life. It was the fateful stone that shattered the self-imposed illusions i had been clinging to for my entire life, and because of that i am proud and privileged to support Terra Lumina. Thank you.

      I am not dramatizing when I say that John changed my life through the Symphony of Science, introducing me to Carl Sagan, Richard Feynman (and many more) and to real science. It is a joy to read that many others, just like me, decided to pursue a career in science field (Physics for me). Even though I would have pledged to this project no matter what, after listening to the sample I really cannot wait to listen to the entire album. Good luck with the project and thank you!

    25. Missing_small

      Creator Charles on August 14, 2012

      I can't wait for this album. Not only is Symphony of Science quite possibly my favourite album, it has also inspired me to pursue a degree in Physics come this fall (I changed my major from computer science to physics over the summer, and I've never been so excited.) I cannot say how thankful I am for your commitment to spreading the wonders of science with the world.

      If suggestions are still being taken, could you do a song on the Fibonacci sequence/golden triangle/harmony and perfection in nature? It is something I am utterly fascinated with and in awe of. This project is so cool.

      It will be available on iTunes, Amazon MP3, and on Bandcamp in FLAC/OGG/mp3/etc, DRM and watermark free. We are undecided on the license but some form of creative commons.

      Creator Håkon A. Hjortland on August 8, 2012

      Based on that sample, I can tell this is going to be one awesome album. Can't wait!

      Creator John Boswell on August 5, 2012

      James - there will be physical copies available after the backers get their copies, yes. T-shirts will be limited but should be available for some time as well. Thanks!

    33. Fb_profile_picture.small

      Creator James Arnett on August 5, 2012

      I can only afford the $10 pledge, for I am a sad poor college student. Do you think physical copies of the cd and possibly t-shirts may be available on your site sometime in the future? I've been introducing everyone I can to Symphony of Science here at UAT in Arizona. You can't be a geek and not like those songs.

      Creator Kelly Beard on July 28, 2012

      I listen to the Symphony of Science videos all day at work. My three-year-old niece loves them, too. Her favorites were "Dinosaurs" and "The Quantum Universe." Best of luck with your new album. Can't wait to hear it!

      My choir teacher insisted that despite all the genres of music, historically speaking, there are only two kinds: sacred and secular. Perhaps yours is a third kind of music. Now we have sacred, secular, and scientific.
