I can’t remember what it’s called, but it’s a program that corrects notes that were sung just off key and now it’s used as a part of the music itself.
Lyrics:
[Sagan]
If you wish to make an apple pie from scratch
You must first invent the universeSpace is filled with a network of wormholes
You might emerge somewhere else in space
Some when-else in timeThe sky calls to us
If we do not destroy ourselves
We will one day venture to the starsA still more glorious dawn awaits
Not a sunrise, but a galaxy rise
A morning filled with 400 billion suns
The rising of the milky wayThe Cosmos is full beyond measure of elegant truths
Of exquisite interrelationships
Of the awesome machinery of natureI believe our future depends powerfully
On how well we understand this cosmos
In which we float like a mote of dust
In the morning skyBut the brain does much more than just recollect
It inter-compares, it synthesizes, it analyzes
it generates abstractionsThe simplest thought like the concept of the number one
Has an elaborate logical underpinning
The brain has it’s own language
For testing the structure and consistency of the world[Hawking]
For thousands of years
People have wondered about the universe
Did it stretch out forever
Or was there a limitFrom the big bang to black holes
From dark matter to a possible big crunch
Our image of the universe today
Is full of strange sounding ideas[Sagan}
How lucky we are to live in this time
The first moment in human history
When we are in fact visiting other worldsThe surface of the earth is the shore of the cosmic ocean
Recently we’ve waded a little way out
And the water seems inviting



Nice one Nyokki. I remember watching cosmos as a kid, but I didn’t realize how poetic Sagan’s explanations were at the time. I love that opening line.
This is soo beautiful. A few lines nearly brought me to tears. Sad that I don`t know Sagan. I envy Twee for having been able to watch this ^_^.
“Auto-tune” is the general name for the tool that does this.
This was fucking beautiful. God damn. Favorited.
So profound. Our generation stands on a magnificent precipice, does it not?
It really does seem that way, doesn’t it? It’s hard to describe or define my feelings and thoughts at times. Sometimes I get excited and think Almost there.
