PBS Icons Remixed - Mr Rogers

(youtube) Mister Rogers remixed by Symphony of Science's John Boswell for PBS Digital Studios.

When we discovered video mash-up artist John D. Boswell, aka melodysheep, on YouTube, we immediately wanted to work together. Turns out that he is a huge Mister Rogers Neighborhood fan, and was thrilled at the chance to pay tribute to one of our heroes. Both PBS and the Fred Rogers Company hope you like John's celebration of Fred Rogers' message. (Headphones highly recommended!)

This is the first in a series of PBS icons remixed.

The thing I do like about auto-tune is that it enables those that NEVER, atleast in front of the public, to sing. There is something primal and deeply connecting about music and song, it connects with us in ways we never get connected to, especially emotionally. It calms us, it brings a grand hush to those listening intently (and if there not listening intently, they are the idiots in the mosh pit) as though something profound may be learned at any moment.

For those that did bring so much to the world, like the Carl Sagan auto-tune, it had the same response... You shut-up, listened and believe it or not there was a profound message in that one AND there is one here, but on a much smaller scale. I'd love to see more of our most beloved humans and those of the humanities that have given us all so much get this treatment, but only if done with the same amount of respect as this one had and Carl Sagan had as well.

Music and song strangely seems to access a part of us that destroys the worst motivations in us, atleast for awhile--as long as you're listening (although if you're the one creating it, I'm not so sure; I think you must be a savant for that to happen). Next to our ability to reason and create, this is by far our next most powerful ability.

I hope to hear more. I hope they take their time.
