The International Space Orchestra (ISO) is a team of space scientists from the NASA Ames Research Center, SETI Institute (Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence), Singularity University, and the International Space University.〔("GЯOUИD COИTЯOL" ), International Space Orchestra Official Website〕〔("Projects by NELLY BEN HAYOUN STUDIO" ), NELLY BEN STUDIO Official Website〕 The International Space Orchestra was created, assembled and is currently directed by designer of experiences and director Nelly Ben Hayoun.〔("Nelly Ben Hayoun, Designer of Experiences" ), SETI〕 The musical director of ISO is the two-time Grammy award winner, violinist and composer, (Evan Price ).〔("International Space Orchestra: the designer taking music into space" ), ''The Guardian'', by Oliver Wainwright, 3 June 2013〕 Members of the International Space Orchestra include LCROSS/LADEE NASA Flight Director Rusty Hunt, NASA Ames Research Center Deputy Director Lewis S. G. Braxton III and NASA astronaut Yvonne Cagle. == Public space outreach == In the summer of 2012 in California, ISO performed ''Ground Control: An Opera in Space'', a 27-minute long performance part scripted and based on the reenactment of the Apollo 11's mission control and part musical. ''Ground Control: An Opera in Space'' was composed by a team including Damon Albarn of Blur and Gorillaz, Bobby Womack, Richard Russell, Mike Smith (Music Director of Gorillaz), Arthur Jeffes of Penguin Café, Maywa Denki (inventor of Otamatone), and Evan Price, with a libretto by science-fiction author Bruce Sterling and Jasmina Tesanovic.〔("International Space Orchestra pays homage to Apollo 11 mission" ), ''Wired'', February 12, 2013〕 ISO's first performance took place in front of the 80 by 120 foot wind tunnel (world's largest) located at NASA Ames Research Center and its second in San Jose, California during the ZERO1 Biennial (North America's most significant showcase of work at the nexus of art and technology). In addition, public talks by leading NASA and SETI Institute (Search for Extraterrestrial Life) scientists were curated by Nelly Ben Hayoun, giving insights into missions that inspired the musical composition. These included presentations by SETI Institute (Search for Extraterrestrial Life) Director of Research Gerry Harp, NASA Ames Research Center Chief Scientist Jacob Cohen, Kepler Mission Manager Roger Hunter and LCROSS/ LADEE NASA Flight Director Rusty Hunt. In January 2013, the International Space Orchestra (feature film ) had its world premiere at the Rotterdam International Film Festival where it was acclaimed by the critic as a "masterpiece" (Independent Cinema Office, ICO),〔(), ICO, Jan 30, 2013 by Kate Taylor〕 a "real achievement" (DOMUS),〔(), DOMUS, February 11, 2013〕 "as thrilling as watching a rocket launch" and "Spine Tingling" (The Guardian). In May 2013, the International Space Orchestra performed at the Davies Symphony Hall, San Francisco in front of 2,700 people with singer Beck.〔("BECK+INTERNATIONAL SPACE ORCHESTRA+POP UP MAGAZINE+MC SWEENEYS" ), NELLY BEN HAYOUN STUDIO, May 20, 2013〕 As well as being an unconventional public space outreach event, ISO also acts as an experiential and hybrid interdisciplinary research environment in which space scientists and engineers were invited to implement, deconstruct, perform, sing, mix, modify, and design musical acts in control rooms, acting as a provocation to imagine and disrupt human relationships with science and technology. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「International Space Orchestra」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
