Moon Remixes Moonlight Sonata

Fascinated with this curious mode of communication, Paterson translated Beethoven’s Moonlight Sonata into Morse code and sent it to the Moon via radio waves. Ostensibly “remixed” as it bounced off the contours of the Moon’s surface, the sonata was then retranslated into a new score and played by a grand piano at Modern Art Oxford.

It's really beautiful, and just different enough to make a girl go ... moony. (I had to!)
