The goal is to see the future, out of sheer curiosity.


In 1991 after graduating from electronic music school (Berklee) I was suddenly subjected to the internet. I got onto some newsgroups, picking through the giant list of possibilities. To my own surprise, I chose anything to do with space exploration, futurism, transhumanism, longevity, and cryonics. I had only thought about music before that. And why cryonics? At the time, I didn't even know there was such a thing as being preserved upon death. I was thinking of cryonics as being for deep space travel, in case a trip might take hundreds of years. The cryonics newsgroup, of course, was about Alcor and preservation. I knew right away I wanted to sign up. The idea of dying some day never sat well with me. I'm super insanely curious to see the future and what might become of us humans. I want all the best for us.

I finally became an Alcor member in 2007 after getting to know the Alcor employees, seeing how fully obsessed they are with being the best cryonics company possible, and also realizing how affordable it actually is.

I try to help Alcor spread the word whenever an opportunity comes up. Below are some of the things I've gotten myself into. I also mention cryonics several times in my book, Matter Over Mind: Cosmos, Chaos, and Curiosity (on Amazon).

About

Elaine Walker is an electronic musician with a deep interest in visual math, physics, neuroscience, longevity, and the future of humanity on Earth and beyond.

She is a renowned microtonal music composer. She has had a long and varied career in electronic music, both in academia and freelance. Her Masters thesis at New York University explored chaos dynamics as an organic tool to generate and "conduct" music. She was the Director of the DJ and Electronic Music Programs at SCC in Scottsdale, AZ, until 2017. Prior to working at SCC, she was a music editor for the Pokemon cartoon for several years.

She is the author of a non-fiction physics/philosophy book, Matter Over Mind: Cosmos, Chaos, and Curiosity. It illuminates the deeper dynamics of the world and a better way forward for humanity.

At the age of 50, and with no formal math training, Elaine realized she had a gift for visualizing mathematics, and her first math paper was accepted less than 2 years later in the Proceedings of the American Mathematical Society (on arXiv.org) with her partner Bruce Olberding.

Elaine has regularly volunteered for the NewSpace community, promoting the idea of humans living in space. She spent five summers in the High Arctic on the NASA Haughton-Mars Project. She is a proponent of superlongevity and a cryopreservation member of Alcor.
