Jupiter sounds (so strange!) NASA-Voyager recording
YouTube via hryzunik. via Mr. Array.
"From an original CD: JUPITER NASA-VOYAGER SPACE SOUNDS (1990) BRAIN/MIND Research
Fascinating recording of Jupiter sounds (electromagnetic "voices") by NASA-Voyager. The complex interactions of charged electromagnetic particles from the solar wind , planetary magnetosphere etc. create vibration "soundscapes". It sounds very interesting, even scary.
Jupiter is mostly composed of hydrogen and helium. The entire planet is made of gas, with no solid surface under the atmosphere. The pressures and temperatures deep in Jupiter are so high that gases form a gradual transition into liquids which are gradually compressed into a metallic "plasma" in which the molecules have been stripped of their outer electrons. The winds of Jupiter are a thousand metres per second relative to the rotating interior. Jupiter's magnetic field is four thousand times stronger than Earth's, and is tipped by 11° degrees of axis spin. This causes the magnetic field to wobble, which has a profound effect on trapped electronically charged particles. This plasma of charged particles is accelerated beyond the magnetosphere of Jupiter to speeds of tens of thousands of kilometres per second. It is these magnetic particle vibrations which generate some of the sound you hear on this recording. Visit http://www.inner-net.com/bmr/bmrpg2aa... for more sounds."

Makes one wonder, how did we know what "spacey" sounds like?
ReplyDeleteHmmmmmmmmmmm?
Come to think of it...has anyone seen Steve Roach lately ??
ReplyDeletethis kind of thing is what i live for. is this giving anyone else an intense urge to watch 2001?
ReplyDeletethis also gives me an idea for a electronic music cult based on the idea that the universe was created as a giant magnetic particle synth.

ReplyDeletenot just a planet but an Absynth vst clone!

ReplyDeleteMy Roland SA-09 has some sort of internal problem and it generates a continuous low drone just like this! What could it mean?? Is Jupiter controlling my Saturn?
ReplyDeleteIt makes pleasant listening, but note the word "some": "It is these magnetic particle vibrations which generate some of the sound you hear on this recording".
