Musical termites? What happens when you let nature sing
Episode 11
Tuesday, 27 January, 2026
Animals and music? What a tantalizing mix! In a fascinating conversation with scientist and musician Dr. Diego Ellis Soto we learn about the way animals move - through music. When animals swarm, mill, or migrate, patterns are revealed. Soto explains that animals all prefer to move together with proper space, time, and direction....just like harmony in music. Soto’s work combines his academic work and his passion for music to create a fresh look at how we should think about nature in motion. It is a way to express complex data about animal movement in a way that is easy for people to understand. And that can be a powerful tool to inspire conservation. This episode might just make you think very differently about how you look at, or maybe hear, nature and its creatures. If you’d like to learn more about Diego’s work, I recommend you watch this lecture he gave as part of Yale University’s Franke Program for Science and Humanity.
