Interview with Henry Gee

Filed under: blues, piano, rock, science publishing — Eva @ 7:38 am

henrygeekeyboardThings have been busy over here, but not as busy with this project as I would have liked. Still, I have material that needs to be sorted out and notes that need to be organized in one place rather than twenty.

This is again a clip from one of the interviews I did at Science Online ‘09. Henry Gee is Senior Editor at Nature, and plays keyboard in his spare time (when he’s not writing science fiction stories or blogging about his pets.) This is a short clip from the interview I did with him, in which he talks about his ambition to become the best blues organist in North Norfolk. I had some other clips of this interview as well, including mentions of other people at Nature (past and present) who are musicians, but decided to hold on to that until I actually have a chance to talk to other people.

Geek Pop ‘09

Filed under: festival, general science, pop, rock — Eva @ 11:21 pm

If you’re looking forward to music festival season, you can start right now, this week, and from the comfort of your own home. (Or even from the workplace, but use headphones!)
Science-inspired music festival Geek Pop ‘09 is “live” from March 6 – 15. Live, that is, on their website, where you can virtually visit four stages with different styles of geeky music.

Interview with Cathy Davies

Filed under: chemistry, choir, classical, interview — Eva @ 10:35 pm

This is another fragment of one of the interviews I did when I was at Science Online ‘09. I saw Cathy Davies‘ sheet music (Mozart) lying around during a break. She was preparing for a concert with the Newark Ecumenical Chorus which took place on February 14.
