Abstract

Cyclostratigraphy shows how certain repeated sedimentary patterns can reveal climatic oscillations related to Earth orbital cycles. Sedimentary cycles can be translated into music, converting distinct rocks or facies into notes, and bed thickness into duration of sounds. Such “music of the Earth” can be considered, from a poetical perspective, as an expression of harmony of the Universe as postulated by ancient Greeks. It is suggested to use this type of composition for accompanying scientific movies, as well as for background music at museums and geoparks.
