"Meteorology: the branch of science concerned with the processes and phenomena of the atmosphere, especially as a means of forecasting the weather." Important to know if you attend music festivals.
Listen to actual "moon music" recorded by the astronauts in 1969 boingboing.net
Tachycardia: An increase in heart rate over 100 beats per minute. It's how the body keeps itself fed on oxygen when dancing all night.
Robotics is a collection of technologies that designs machines that replicate human actions. A robot can even compose its own music gizmodo.com
By request. Have a suggestion or want to say hi email dj@kexp.org, to interact (or see our mentos/cola explosion video) visit @djmichelemyers on Twitter or Instagram. On Facebook DJ Michele.
Electronic music involves circuitry-based music technology. As opposed to electroacoustic music which involves electrically enhanced musical instruments.
The actual Public Broadcasting Service has many music themed shows such as Austin City Limits, Live from Lincoln Center, and Great Performances. www.pbs.org

Serotonin is a neurotransmitter in the body which is involved in regulating mood, social behavior, and digestion. Listening to music has been shown to boost another beneficial neurotransmitter - dopamine. www.bbc.com
Follow the International Space Station feed www.youtube.com and see a guitar performance from one of the astronauts filmed on the station in outer-space www.youtube.com
Logic is essential in the application of all computer science.
"Phenomenon: a fact or situation that is observed to exist or happen, especially one whose cause or explanation is in question."
"Acoustics: A branch of physics delving into the aspects and properties of sound"
"Galvanize: To coat iron or steel with a protective coating of zinc. Also, to shock or excite (someone), typically into taking action." Music has often been used to galvanize social change.
The colors we see compose the visual part of the electromagnetic spectrum. Sound waves, on the other hand, are longitudinal waves and need a medium such as air through which to travel.
The Occidental STEM series event on Aug 29 will feature a novel machine - an Earthquake Simulator. Check it out downtownseattle.org
There is no music in space. Sound does not travel there because, as a longitudinal wave, it cannot propagate in a vacuum.
"Optics: The study of sight and the behavior of light." Important for knowing how to produce dramatic and effective stage lighting during live concerts.
Titanium is as strong as steel but is much less dense. Along with being perfectly resistant to seawater, it is an essential component in computers and therefore the creation of all kinds of music.
Nneka Egbuna is a Nigerian singer-songwriter. Her home country is committed to science education as an essential means of National Development. www.iiste.org

"Metaphysical: relating to the transcendent or to a reality beyond what is perceptible to the senses." Music is, for many, a gateway to just such an experience.
Music and mathematics are integrally intertwined. Rhythm, meter, measure, frequency, and harmony are all musical elements mathematically described.
The moon is more yellow the closer it is to the horizon due to the fact that its white light is refracted by traveling through more atmosphere.
