#Pulsars rotate at a very regular period and are very stable. When converted to sound, they can act as a sort of backing beat to be used in music and tracks.

With the wide variety of pulsars, each with its own spin period, and thus, its own beat, musicians and scientists can work together to get the music flowing. Maybe use it as the base of a house track, played by one of the world’s leading DJs at a 20,000-strong crowd festival.

'PSR J1056-6258' has a 142 beats-per-minute (BPM) spin period, so it would be perfectly suited to go well with #Kylie #Minogue’s ‘Padam Padam’, #Britney #Spears ‘Toxic’, #Blondie’s ‘Call Me’ and #Mumford & #Sons ‘The Cave’.

French composer #Gerard #Grisey included a pulsar as one of the percussionists in his piece, 'Le Noir de l’Étoile'.
