As humanity moves out into the final frontier, music will evolve and change. What can we expect from the future of music in space?

From the earliest rhythmic beats made by our distant human ancestors to independent musicians now pushing the limits of music on YouTube channels, music has always changed and evolved with society. In turn, changes in music can bring about cathartic change within the human psyche.

We are going to look at three of the major causes driving the evolution of musical expression and see how the human migration to space will affect the future of music.

Many of the great changes in music have come from migrations of people, and the collaborations they inspire. Changing economic conditions have also inspired musical change, and the evolution of technology constantly defines the limits of what is possible. 

Later on, we’ll be talking with classical music composer Doug Helvering, host of The Daily Doug about the future of music in space.
