I'm really excited about this project that Michael Hearst is working on. It's a series called "Songs for Unusual creatures"
http://unusualcreatures.com/
There is also a book where they are working together with an artist to illustrate these creatures as well.
The PBS Series:
They are short bits where you both learn a bit about these strange and wonderful creatures, and it is backed up by music the musicians who wrote these songs inspired by that creature. It is a fantastic collaboration between information, science, education, music, visual representation and an audio interpretation as well.
Here are a few:
The Magnapinna Squid
