Hi!

Gary invited me to join this group, which I am now happily a part of! I’ve been practicing astrophotography for a short time, since 2022, and have had a life long interest in astronomy. My background/profession is in music composition & production.

What does music and the universe have in common? Perhaps a better question is what do they not have in common! Mozart once wrote that “our music is puny compared to the music of the spheres” which his genius so clearly discovered and expressed. He knew that the universe is musical; many philosophers today are asking now “is the universe conscious”?

Music is about emotion and emotional intelligence yet it’s also about proportion, logic, drama, vibration, harmony, motion, time and the inner subjective world of sensing, intuiting and simply being a person. It has been the core activity of my life since I was 10 years old.

My passion for both imaging and music led me to create a You Tube channel featuring what I call Astrophotographic Music Videos. Timothy Martin and I have collaborated on a few and I just posted my 14th video.

I’m looking forward to conversation!

Jerry
