This sounds interesting and astronomically motivated for the artistically 
inclined (I didn't say talented!). Please pass it along or at least check out 
his website. 

Clear skies,

Dear Region Chair,
 
If I may, I would like to let you know about an astronomical project that I am 
working on in the hope that you might find it of interest and pass it on to 
your fellow astronomers.  The piece in question is entitled aroundNorth, and 
takes its inspiration from the apparent rotation of the stars around Celestial 
North Pole.  It will take the form of a permanent sound installation at Armagh 
Observatory, in Northern Ireland, and will also be available for touring and 
downloadable from the internet.  The idea is that the piece will create a 
musical connection between listener and the wider universe as well as provide a 
novel way of thinking about astronomical matters.  When you have got a moment, 
please take a look at my short film describing the idea at:   
http://www.prsformusicfoundation.com/newmusicaward/aroundnorth.htm .
 
Currently, aroundNorth is short-listed for the 2010 New Music Award, and for 
this there is a public vote, and so I write this email to encourage you to have 
a look at my short movie describing how the composition will work (shot at 
Armagh Observatory itself) and if you think it appropriate then to register 
your vote.  The more votes that are accumulated, the greater the chance that we 
will attain the funding required to create the composition and to offer the 
general public a new way of connecting with astronomy.  For this reason also, 
please feel very welcome to forward this email to any and everyone whom you 
think could be interested.
 
More details on the project together with links to the movie are at: 
www.aroundNorth.wordpress.com , and if you have any questions you would like to 
ask please do not hesitate to get in touch.
 
With best wishes,
 
 
Robert
