John Boswell el responsable de Color Pulse, un proyecto entre la música de ambiente y la electrónica, ha querido homenajear a Carl Sagan. al científico y divulgador más famoso de época moderna. A Glorious Dawn utliza fragmentos de los discursos de Sagan en Cosmos, mezclados por auto-tunes con los de Stephen Hawkings, que son utilizados como coro. A simple vista parecería un pupurri creado por exceso de alucinógenos, pero es más que eso. Es una excelente oda al raciocinio humano, o al menos eso es lo que a mi me lo parece. Claro que yo soy un poco...especial.
La canción, al igual que varios de sus trabajos, están disponibles gratuitamente en su página web.

[Sagan]
If you wish to make an apple pie from scratch
You must first invent the universe
Space is filled with a network of wormholes
You might emerge somewhere else in space
Some when-else in time
The sky calls to us
If we do not destroy ourselves
We will one day venture to the stars
A still more glorious dawn awaits
Not a sunrise, but a galaxy rise
A morning filled with 400 billion suns
The rising of the milky way
The Cosmos is full beyond measure of elegant truths
Of exquisite interrelationships
Of the awesome machinery of nature
I believe our future depends powerfully
On how well we understand this cosmos
In which we float like a mote of dust
In the morning sky
But the brain does much more than just recollect
It inter-compares, it synthesizes, it analyzes
it generates abstractions
The simplest thought like the concept of the number one
Has an elaborate logical underpinning
The brain has its own language
For testing the structure and consistency of the world
[Hawking]
For thousands of years
People have wondered about the universe
Did it stretch out forever
Or was there a limit
From the big bang to black holes
From dark matter to a possible big crunch
Our image of the universe today
Is full of strange sounding ideas
[Sagan}
How lucky we are to live in this time
The first moment in human history
When we are in fact visiting other worlds
The surface of the earth is the shore of the cosmic ocean
Recently we've waded a little way out
And the water seems inviting
