A mind-bending presentation on the interconnectedness of all things.

Musician and YouTuber Adam Neely explores the connections between his passions – music, art, science and philosophy – and follows ideas to places that are often abstract and dense, but always presents them in ways that are fascinating and entertaining. This is perhaps best exemplified in his presentation at Ableton‘s music summit Loop 2017, New Horizons in Music: Polyrhythms, in which he lays out how rhythms become melodies, melodies become colours, and the relationships between them all can explain works of art, because… numbers.

Just watch.
