Microcosm and macrocosm These shells with analogic convolutions Cut out space in tune
This piece is part of a series matching printed Vinyl LPs with seashells cut out in constellation images. The title “Musica Universalis” refers to Pythagorean philosophy which considered the universe to be ruled by harmonious mathematical proportions, as well as it connects the cosmos as well as living creatures like ourself. This is why I used a formal analogy between the seashell and its spiraling shape and the revolving spirals of constellations. If prove should be made that “as above so below”, the universe is woven with correspondences.

Stop breadboarding and soldering – start making immediately! Adafruit’s Circuit Playground is jam-packed with LEDs, sensors, buttons, alligator clip pads and more. Build projects with Circuit Playground in a few minutes with the drag-and-drop MakeCode programming site, learn computer science using the CS Discoveries class on code.org, jump into CircuitPython to learn Python and hardware together, or even use Arduino IDE. Circuit Playground Express is the newest and best Circuit Playground board, with support for MakeCode, CircuitPython, and Arduino. It has a powerful processor, 10 NeoPixels, mini speaker, InfraRed receive and transmit, two buttons, a switch, 14 alligator clip pads, and lots of sensors: capacitive touch, IR proximity, temperature, light, motion and sound. A whole wide world of electronics and coding is waiting for you, and it fits in the palm of your hand.
