Rock concert: Yellowstone seismic activity to be performed on live flute

Real-time data will be displayed for Dr Alyssa Schwartz to play at Atlanta conference

Move aside Metallica and Led Zeppelin: scientists are planning to make “rock” music by letting seismic activity headline in a live flute performance.

On Tuesday, Dr Domenico Vicinanza of the UK’s Anglia Ruskin University will use a computer program he has developed to turn real-time data, recorded by a seismograph at Yellowstone national park in the US, into a musical score.
