How many nuclear explosions have occured on Earth? You may be surprised. Watch this video by artist Isao Hashimoto and listen to the music. Patterns will soon emerge. Swarms of explosions with several countries setting off bombs in quick sucession will be followed by periods of calm. At times it is almost melodic. Eerily so. You soon find yourself wondering what was going on in the world to cause the periods of silence … and of music.
