Symphony of Science is a series of music videos by John Boswell, using "remixing and tuning [of] spoken word, combined with original electronic music and similarly themed footage". The videos are made up of clips from various science documentaries and other videos, featuring numerous scientists and skeptics, primarily Carl Sagan. The first video was released last september, and the sixth video was just released yesterday. There were some legal issues from Sagan's widow, Ann Druyan, over further use of his footage, but these seem to have been dropped.
The videos appear in reverse order on the site. There are mp3, flac and video downloads for all songs, as well as lyrics.
The following are Youtube links. The first three go up to 480p resolution, and the subsequent videos go up to 720p. Obviously there is some variation in the quality of source material.
