Third Man Records has announced the 7-inch release of John Boswell’s A Glorious Dawn on November 9th.
A Glorious Dawn, embedded above, is an arrangement of Carl Sagan’s words from Cosmos, AutoTuned.
The piece initially gained recognition when composer John Boswell uploaded to YouTube his remixed Sagan dialogue edited, Auto-Tuned and put to a beat and coupled with a guest appearance by Stephen Hawking. At well over one million views, this is a project that goes far-beyond the buzz of “Internet phenomenon.”
Third Man Records, in conjunction with United Record Pressing, fabricated a special “Cosmos Colored Vinyl” of which 150 copies will be available…50 randomly inserted into mail orders for “A Glorious Dawn” and the remainder to be made available at the Third Man Records Nashville store front at noon on November 9th.
The one-sided single features a very special etching on the flipside. Reproduced from the original artwork, the etching copies the etching included with the Voyager Golden Record, set off into space in 1977 as the most elaborate message-in-a-bottle idea ever imagined.
Wow, fantastic and pretty poetic… 😉
COSMOS was a fantastic TV show, and Carl Sagan, well… It's a shame such a brilliant mind is not amongst us anymore…
The vinyl single with the Voyager art on the back sounds pretty cool, too.
