A Musical Score Designed to Look Like a World Map

Composer James Plakovic’s scores aren’t just created to sound beautiful; on paper, they also take the shape of people, symbols, objects, or in some cases, world maps. His “World Beat Music,” spotted by Boing Boing, is a score that looks like a Mercator Projection map of the world. “What if you could make the world more harmonious through music,” Plakovic asks in the video above. “How would it sound?” Take a listen to the aural cartography and find out for yourself.
