A Symphony of Sound

Delve into the captivating mystery of the origins of sound in this visual feast. Sound fills our lives: we communicate with it, we create music, and we dance to it. But why do we spend so much of our time listening to or making these complex patterns of rhythm and pitch?

A Symphony of Sound explores the science behind sound and music. Learn how sounds are made and the physics behind it; sound in our everyday lives; in the natural world; in history; and the evolution of music and communication, from insects to apes, humans to AI.

With text by Professor Trevor Cox and vibrant, expressive artwork by Sophie Escavy Lim, this is a fresh and fascinating approach to a universal subject.
