Hubble (Ben Greenberg) soundtracks Hubble
This video premiere of "Hubble's Hubble" coalesces stargazing wonder with sheets-of-sound electric guitar wizardry and NASA-sanctioned images captured by the artist's namesake, the Hubble Space Telescope. The collaboration was the brainchild of two great men over a great meal, and naturally I wasn't either of them. Michael Azerrad wrote the book Our Band Could Be Your Life (and, more important to my early musical development, Come As You Are: The Story Of Nirvana) and Max Mutchler works at the Space Telescope Science Institute (STScI for short, he also discovered Pluto's second and third moons — so cool!). Michael showed Max my music over last year's Thanksgiving dinner, and a short while later I received an email from Max proposing that we work together.
