Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) spectroscopy is an analytical technique commonly used across the natural sciences that works upon the detection of magnetically spin-aligned atomic nuclei resonating with an externally applied radio source. This work presents an overview of music created using NMR data and outlines principles for its use in composition. Methods for the sonification and musical interpretation of NMR spectra are demonstrated and opportunities for its development as a musical technique are identified.
