Mickey Hart on A Different Nature
What on Earth is Mickey Hart doing on A Different Nature?!

Tonight's show will feature some music by Mickey Hart, former drummer for the quintessential jam band, The Grateful Dead, who has expanded his musical boundaries to become a conservator of traditional rhythms through his work with The Smithsonian and the Library of Congress. Hart has also promoted rhythm as a catalyst of healthy brain function by collaborating in studies, including The Rhythm and Brain Project with Adam Gazzaley, M.D., Ph.D, and through his work with the Institute for Music and Neurologic function.

Hart has created music based on the sound of his own brain waves, using computers and an EEG cap to change electrical impulses from his brain into audible frequencies. He has also taken light waves from the sun, planets, and stars and converted them into sound waves, which he has incorporated into his music. 

You will also hear the entire recording of Music to be Born By, based on the rhythm of Hart's son's fetal heartbeat, as well as some other recordings.

Grace is hosting.
