A visit to SLAC in October 2018 inspired Nitin Sawhney to create an original audio composition for two short visualization movies on the origins of the universe. At this presentation, he will discuss what inspires him compositionally from a philosophical, universal, theological, anthropological and scientific perspective. Nitin has always been interested in music as a language to explore many different subjects, and he has frequently described his musical journey as a passport to possibility. His strong interest in physics drew him to a collaboration with SLAC, where he was particularly enchanted, mesmerized and fascinated by the simulations of dark matter and ionizing gas. His talk will include the screening of the two short movies in 2D and a conversation with Risa Wechsler, Director, Kavli Institute for Particle Astrophysics and Cosmology.
