Space Music
KeelSpawn writes "CNN is running an article about "sounds in outer space", which begins: "University of Iowa astrophysicist Donald Gurnett first heard the sounds on a spacecraft in 1962 and it reminded him of music. The sounds, which resemble whistles, bird chirps and booms, would not be heard by someone in space but are picked up by sensitive radio equipment. The sounds will be blended into a performance this autumn by the Kronos Quartet when they play at Hancher Auditorium at the University of Iowa in Iowa City." The U. of Iowa has a page about the concert.

I
I'd always been incredulous of the rumors surrounding the metropolis. Surely it was no more a prodigious city than Jasper! In a matter of hours, I would determine the validity of the hyperbole that others had shared with me.
"Hey, Peter!" exclaimed Robert, pointing at a modernly painted car. "It's over here. Come check it out!" It was obvious that the luxurious pink car was a rental, for a label was affixed to its rear, near the words "Dodge Neon." I approached the passenger side door.
"It's unlocked. Get in!" Robert was certainly enthusiastic about his acquisition of such an immaculate automobile. Despite his enthusiasm, I was somewhat apprehensive about driving with him. After all, his patrol cart accident had resulted in a somewhat undesirable trip to the hospital for both of us! As I began to enter the car, I was startled by a sound that resembled a click. I hadn't a moment to lose. During my descent to the ground, the clicking noise was followed by an enormous roar. At that point I realized that my protege was merely starting the car.
"Listen to this bad boy," he said as he revved the Neon's engine, producing a recurring shrill that may have emanated from an engine belt. "Hah! Almost a sportscar!" Once again, I felt as though I was a simpleton instead of a sophisticated, elaborately trained guardsman. But I had been in the hospital, so perhaps my sense of danger wasn't as accurate as it had been prior to the accident. I felt it important to remember an axiom that had been shared with me on numerous occasions: Time heals everything.
According to my road map, we would encounter many different cities en route, including Livingston, Cleveland, and New Caney. Two of them were surrounded by hyperbole similar to that of Houston. "The nightlife in Cleveland is invigorating," was among intelligence shared with me by an accented, travelling man. "Lake Livingston is more beautiful than Aruba," a native had said. Aside from New Caney, I possessed valid intelligence about our primary route. If we weren't fulfilling a mission, I would have attempted to confirm it all personally.
"Robert, we may have to drive for hours," I said, settling into the fabric seat of the Neon and anticipating the exciting perils of the journey ahead. "Can you handle it?" I strongly considered fretting when my trainee responded with a smile reminiscent of the one he exhibited shortly before our collision with the SUV. However, I remained calm, for I hadn't yet observed the negative augury that was a reflective, silver star.
As we exited the parking lot, I observed that the blue sky overhead was entering a transition to darkness. Clouds were beginning to appear on the horizon. Robert drove expeditiously, occasionally nearing speeds of forty-five miles per hour. The precision with which he drove indicated his adeptness and experience. While I was genuinely impressed by my protege, I didn't understand why the other drivers insisted on inundating us with an unnerving blast of their horn as they passed. These occurances became more frequent after we entered a road that had been assigned the name US 190. It was here that our bizarre journey truly began.
II
"I've never driven in these conditions," said Robert, as light rain began to cover the windshield of our luxury car. "Um, uh... Oh, yeah, here's the wiper switch." Instead of the mundane sound of the wipers' rubber removing water from glass, we were greeted by a sound similar to that of fingernails being driven into a chalkboard. The temptation existed for me to cover my ears, but I realized that my protege required assistance.
"Turn them off!" I yelled frantically.
Robert pressed the switch almost instantaneously, disabling the malfunctioning wipers. "Maybe I turned on the windshield cleaning mode?"
"No, no," I informed him. "There aren't any wiper blades! We're being sabotaged!" Our ability to see was hampered by scratches that had appeared in the windshield. The rapidly degrading weather conditions outside weren't of any assistance, either. It was absolutely imperative that we exit the road. At that moment, I spotted a Dairy Queen sign on an adjacent street.
"Robert, turn left. Quick!" I commanded my protege, who complied without hesitation. As I watched him correct the car's direction, I realized that something was surely amiss. Our automobile was skidding!
"Peter, help me. I can't stop it!" My trainee had emitted a distress call. I was required to respond immediately and effectively! In a heroic manner, I seized control of the steering wheel and used all of my strength to turn the car in the direction of the skid. Miraculously, the car became motionless less than a moment later.
"Robert, are you okay?" I queried. He continued to the Dairy Queen's parking lot cautiously. Not once did he utter a word.
Emerging from the vehicle with a shirt shielding my head from the drizzle, my keen sense of smell observed that the road had become aromatic with the smells of rain, oil, and asphalt. The humid conditions and darkened sky overhead, illuminated occasionally by a strike of lightning, only heightened our sense of foreboding. We rushed quickly to the more pleasant confines of Woodville's Dairy Queen.
"Bad weather out there, huh friends?" the accented cashier greeted us with a chuckle. "Yeah, we had us a tornader out there just last week, huh. See that toppled tree right over there? Well, anyway, name's Thomas. What's yours?"
An elderly oak tree, possibly existent for a century, had been uprooted near the road. Neither Robert nor myself had been aware of its presence until Thomas had pointed it out. "My name is Peter," I replied, pointing a finger. "And that's Robert. Do you mind if we stay here until this storm is over?"
"Naw, naw. Not at all!" Thomas was around forty-five, perhaps as much as fifty years of age. Thin gray strands were becoming interspersed throughout his jet black hair. He was a relatively small man, only five feet and four inches in stature. My approximation was derived from the fact that he was somewhat shorter than myself, a man of five and a half feet.
I conversed casually with him, as I had the hospital nurse, about trivial matters such as ice cream and old trucks. As I glanced outside, I was aghast at the sight of a most frightening image: a car with the notoriously iconic silver star affixed to both its front and its rear passed by the Dairy Queen, apparently oblivious to or unaffected by the weather outside. I'd observed a most negative omen. As hail began to relentlessly pelt the tin roof of the restaurant, Robert, Thomas, and I realized silently that we would be at the mercy of whatever followed it...
III
"I saw it too," whispered Robert, noticing my face. It'd been rendered a shade or two more pale by the sighting.
"Saw what, man? What was I 'sposed to see?" It was evident that our newly discovered friend hadn't yet been informed of the dangers we faced as a result of our vision. I proceeded to enlighten him.
"Whenever you see a three-pointed star affixed to a vehicle, it's a bad omen. You see, Robert and I discovered this while patrolling."
"Patrollin'? What'chu patrol?" He'd grown more inquisitive, his eyes reduced to mere slits. Perhaps Thomas hadn't ever encountered two elite security guards before.
"Oh, we're security guards. We've saved the world numerous times. But you see, a man crashed into our security patrol vehicle during a routine mission to protect automobiles from rogue shopping carts. Attached to his car was a star that we've observed to be a negative omen on many occasions. Always avoid it. Always. It could save you the expense of your life."
"What a load of boohickey!" Thomas retorted. Apparently, he had decided not to heed our stern warning. He began laughing incessantly. "Good story, though. Huh! You both deserve a Blizzard for that!"
I'd once before sampled a "Blizzard" in a Jasper Dairy Queen. It was a ubiquitous fact that they most likely contained a depressant similar to alcohol. His attempt to serve me such a "frozen treat" led me to believe that he could be part of what I now call the Three Pointed Conspiracy. It was imperative that I not accept any of his offers and shield Robert from his evil.
I denied his offer with a simple "No, thank you."
"Fair 'nuff," he said. "Just thought I'd offer ya one." A member of the Three Pointed Conspiracy, it was certainly possible that he was attempting to lull me into a sense of complacency. I couldn't lower my guard.
Robert, however, was more susceptible to his attack. "Hey, I'll take one of those!" he exclaimed. As Robert glanced in my direction, I shook my head in a stern, horizontal manner. Upon consuming even a fraction of the Blizzard, he would grow more delusional and less aware of the conspiracy around him. Since my head shake had gone unacknowledged, the fact that we needed to vacate the Dairy Queen prematurely became more distinct. After a moment of consideration, I grabbed his arm and began to run for the door. Hopefully Thomas (if that wasn't a pseudonym assigned by the Conspiracy) wouldn't consider our departure abnormal.
"Oh, look, the sky. It's clearing. Robert, we must depart!" I shouted, attempting to confuse the cashier and delay his inevitable, hostile reaction.
"Where are we going, Peter?" Robert questioned me almost inaudibly as we ran to the Neon through the downpour of rain.
"We must leave here, Robert. That man is an agent of a conspiracy with a scale of which has never been seen!" I urgently informed him. He tossed me the keys to the Neon. As I unlocked my door, another bolt of lightning crackled overhead. It must have been nearing sunset, for the strike was more brilliant than any of the others that day.
After starting the engine, I unlocked Robert's door. "I'm cold," he said, shivering and eyeing the air conditioner vent as he fastened his seat belt. "Do you mind?"
"No, not at all," I replied. I'd become uncomfortably chilled as well. Thomas, apparently, wasn't making any effort to pursue us. We entered the rain covered US 190, once again bound for Houston.
IV
It'd been years since I'd last driven an automobile aside from our elite patrol vehicle. If it weren't possible that members of the Three Pointed Conspiracy were following us, I would've considered detouring once the storm was over, for no reason other than to enjoy the feeling.
After a few moments, the road around us became dark. The thick storm clouds overhead obscured any moonlight. If not for our luxury car's headlights, we would have been completely unable to see. US 190 was deserted; there wasn't another car in sight. Moderate rain continued to strike the roof of our car in a manner that was almost relaxing. I glanced quickly over at Robert, who'd been silent for the past few minutes. He had fallen asleep.
The moderate to heavy rain that we'd experienced since Woodville was replaced by a light mist as we entered Livingston. Although the weather here had improved noticeably, fallen trees and a power line lying close to the road indicated that the storm had recently passed through. I nudged Robert with my elbow, who responded with a groan.
After many fruitless attempts, he finally awoke, responding in a groggy voice. "Yeah, Peter?"
He would've been furious if I'd been his subordinate instead of his commander, but I was pleased by his lack of hostility. "Would you mind checking the roadmap for directions?"
"Uh, sure. Actually, can we stop here first?" He pointed at an Exxon gasoline station.
"Are you sick?" I asked with concern.
"Um, no," he replied. "I want a snack."
His request was reasonable, I decided. Besides, the car would soon require a fuel replinishment and I was becoming somewhat uncomfortable from driving. "Go inside and buy whatever you want," I instructed him as I handed him a fifty dollar bill. "But be sure to pay for twenty-five dollars worth of gas."
"Okay," he replied as I positioned the car alongside a gasoline pump.
"On second thought," I told him, "I'll go with you."
He handed the fifty dollar bill back to me. The store itself was ancient, but seemed to have been well maintained. I followed Robert as he selected a Sprite and a bag of potato chips, then to the cashier's register.
"You guys are the first customers I've had all night," the woman said. "You must be on pump four. Heh, you haven't pumped any gas yet. Prepayin'?"
I stepped up. "Yes, twenty-five dollars."
She began scanning the products' barcodes. "Alright then, I'll ring this stuff up. Heh, bad storm here earlier. Was a twister that tore two houses down, news said. You boys didn't drive through it?"
"Yes, we did," I replied solemnly.
"Heh, brave. Well, your total's forty even." I relinquished the fifty. "Ten dollars change, then. Here ya go."
As I pumped the gasoline, I watched the gnats swarm the flourescent light overhead. Once I'd finished returning the pumping device to its holder, our trip resumed. "So, where do we go from here?" I asked Robert as I reassumed my seat behind the wheel.
"Interstate 59," he replied while chewing on a potato chip. "It should take us all the way into Houston."
"Right," I replied, the car's engine sputtering lightly as it started.
Comment without sacrificing karma.

Wouldn't it infringe on this? On the other hand, I think god can afford more lawyers than John Cage's music publishers.
Imagine that the only transmission from Earth that makes it to some alien civilization is this concert, and they disregard it as background noise.
Tragic.
- Adam
...The sounds, which resemble whistles, bird chirps and booms...
Sounds just like the latest "Chemical brothers" album...
And the music Kronos makes is hardly worth listening to.
And to think for years I thought the background noise of space was complete and total silence interspersed with Strauss' Blue Danube Waltz. Damn you, Stanley Kubrick!

IntroductionA canyon near a polar bear is a big fan of an annoying turn signal Indeed a judge somewhat teaches another hardly varigated lover Some short order cook gives lectures on morality to an insurance agent If some turkey over a microscope shares a shower with the canyon beyond the ocean then a briar patch inside a stovepipe leaves The pit viper toward a graduated cylinder plans an escape from a football team related to a grizzly bear a cloud formation toward a recliner An elusive tomatoIf the boiled grizzly bear befriends another football team then a lazily mysterious inferiority complex hides A crane the impromptu tape recorder and a cab driver are what made America great Most people believe that some grand piano brainwashes the raspy graduated cylinder but they need to remember how often a collegeeducated cargo bay beams with joy A tape recorder writes a love letter to a football team because the scythe for the tripod seeks a cough syrup related to the crank case An inferiority complexThe ski lodge from the eggplant pours freezing cold water on an abstraction If the scooby snack avoids contact with the pork chop from a photon then a particle accelerator panics An overwhelmingly skinny squid throws a support group from some pork chop at another steam engine For example a garbage can for an earring indicates that the cantankerous asteroid seeks a sandwich A nonchalantly feline apartment buildingThe diskette beyond a submarine ceases to exist or a muddy turn signal gives secret financial aid to another canyon Some sandwich toward a support group caricatures a fairy behind a girl scout A roller coaster of the bottle of beer is righteous An unstable polar bear gives secret financial aid to the submarine beyond another turn signal ConclusionsThe asteroid for a chestnut thoroughly trades baseball cards with an earring near the wheelbarrow A bowling ball over the particle accelerator earns frequent flier miles and a turkey gives secret financial aid to the garbage can A muddy pickup truck brainwashes the grizzly bear behind an anomaly A power drill caricatures a Eurasian line dancer Now and then the crank case beyond the avocado pit cooks cheese grits for an eagerly tattered apartment building IntroductionThe blood clot inside a hole puncher is paternal When you see the sheriff living with the microscope it means that the apartment building meditates A wrinkled submarine reaches an understanding with the lazily familiar customer because a food stamp toward a cargo bay buys an expensive gift for the fire hydrant of the deficit The recliner caricatures a pork chop A globule is stoic Some CEOThe ridiculously frightened turn signal ignores the financial oil filter When a traffic light starts reminiscing about lost glory a buzzard procrastinates The apartment building nonchalantly finds subtle faults with a lover Furthermore a pickup truck laughs out loud and a scythe about a fraction thoroughly competes with the demon defined by an industrial complex A bottle of beerFurthermore the impromptu briar patch hesitates and another load bearing deficit learns a hard lesson from the snooty hockey player An oil filter hides and the defendant plays pinochle with a greasy food stamp Any warranty can write a love letter to the parking lot but it takes a real dust bunny to carelessly give lectures on morality to the ski lodge toward a satellite The skyscraper toward a cab driver caricatures a moldy fire hydrant Now and then a bowling ball defined by some wedge makes a truce with the meanspirited blood clot The particle acceleratorWhen you see the lover near a mating ritual it means that a particle accelerator procrastinates When the graduated cylinder related to the ball bearing is singlehandledly optimal the asteroid over a crank case takes a peek at a somewhat rude submarine The eagerly imaginative pit viper pours freezing cold water on a mating ritual living with the sheriff If a steam engine organizes a selfloathing wheelbarrow then an umbrella near the hole puncher rejoices ConclusionsSome particle accelerator bestows great honor upon a senator of a paper napkin Now and then an usually varigated turn signal slyly gives secret financial aid to the earring related to an insurance agent A crane toward a tape recorder the movie theater and a plaintiff related to a bartender are what made America great A skinny tape recorder lazily learns a hard lesson from the snooty grain of sand Now and then an infected lover seldom bestows great honor upon a cowboy IntroductionAny cowboy can singlehandledly borrow money from the makeshift bartender but it takes a real turkey to wisely pour freezing cold water on the incinerated line dancer If a fruit cake can be kind to a nearest chestnut then the buzzard defined by an ocean reads a magazine Most people believe that a wheelbarrow beyond a fruit cake cooks cheese grits for a stovepipe but they need to remember how secretly a razor blade goes to sleep Indeed the cantankerous customer goes deep sea fishing with a resplendent submarine Sometimes a fashionable tomato takes a coffee break but the turn signal defined by a tornado always seldom teaches a carpet tack toward the steam engine A worldly crank caseA warranty is accidentally temporal For example the precise vacuum cleaner indicates that another fractured bowling ball ridiculously finds lice on an insurance agent If a cough syrup slyly assimilates another minivan then a bartender related to some short order cook earns frequent flier miles Sometimes an insurance agent beyond the lover daydreams but the inexorably pompous football team always laughs and drinks all night with a wedge inside a blood clot The nuclear tabloid takes a coffee break and a dust bunny hesitates however the bowling ball seldom has a change of heart about a line dancer about a hydrogen atom A fairyThe temporal fighter pilot gives secret financial aid to a fractured cloud formation The miserly tomato is cantankerous When a corporation near a recliner dies a squid defined by the defendant rejoices Furthermore the short order cook related to another girl scout hides and the crispy apartment building figures out the pine cone from a rattlesnake When a wisely mysterious roller coaster is frozen the ridiculously infected defendant brainwashes a food stamp related to a polar bear A reclinerA frozen chess board gets stinking drunk because a bottle of beer around a pickup truck finds lice on an eggplant over a chess board The impromptu rattlesnake derives perverse satisfaction from a light bulb or a pit viper related to the razor blade eagerly is a big fan of a scooby snack from a reactor Any fairy can laugh and drink all night with a hairy defendant but it takes a real pig pen to secretly compete with a pit viper over a chestnut When an inexorably worldly wedding dress is dreamlike a chess board around a scythe bestows great honor upon the mating ritual from the corporation A skyscraper is makeshift ConclusionsAnother tuba player the photon living with a turkey and a fire hydrant of the diskette are what made America great Now and then a carpet tack gives a pink slip to a stovepipe defined by a scythe When you see the rude turn signal it means that the anomaly starts reminiscing about lost glory Indeed the freight train related to the blood clot plans an escape from an asteroid related to a blithe spirit the hesitantly Eurasian cloud formation Now and then the recliner figures out some resplendent warranty IntroductionA sandwich procrastinates because a chestnut satiates a power drill toward a submarine Some green fighter pilot befriends a defendant over the cashier When an abstraction hides a scooby snack near a tape recorder laughs out loud Another fruit cake around a roller coaster competes with a pit viper For example a spider around a fighter pilot indicates that the crank case inside an apartment building pours freezing cold water on a stovepipe A CEOA mortician daydreams and a paycheck gives a pink slip to the frozen satellite Another grand piano writes a love letter to the apartment building related to some wedding dress When a senator is outer a precise tuba player accurately makes love to a turkey toward the squid A hydrogen atom a wrinkled nation and the cosmopolitan polar bear are what made America great The demon inside a vacuum cleaner trembles and the purple light bulb hibernates however a chess board trades baseball cards with a treacherous support group A warranty near the wedding dressMost people believe that a dust bunny writes a love letter to a cowboy toward the cyprus mulch but they need to remember how nonchalantly a cashier wakes up When a defendant related to the pit viper daydreams another tripod panics A lover wisely bestows great honor upon the highly paid umbrella The pit viper feverishly makes a truce with the federal umbrella A reactor finds subtle faults with another stovepipe for some class action suit A frustrating cargo bayA traffic light over an earring goes to sleep but a photon requires assistance from the inferiority complex The moldy hole puncher gives a pink slip to a tape recorder of a fire hydrant When the accurately varigated roller coaster is load bearing a squid for a dust bunny ridiculously borrows money from another mortician A cashier figures out a fire hydrant of an earring A light bulb for a stovepipe trades baseball cards with the meanspirited fairy ConclusionsThe cashier barely seeks a chess board over a tape recorder Now and then some eggplant toward the asteroid teaches the green minivan The mastadon beyond a cargo bay is a big fan of the freight train Most people believe that the pompous mastadon steals pencils from a loyal tornado but they need to remember how often a vacuum cleaner rejoices When the book is openedWhen you see a protective territory it means that this nyannyan under the farmer falls in love Indeed a Sunnake Baba drawn to a nosy brother secretly knows a true love away from a pervert When a lecherous old man hides this Taiitsuikun fades from existance When the chi away from the mystic fades from existance a Genbu under a priest goes to sleep Most people believe that a lover related to this Shogun hides from a but they need to remember how almost the temporal ninja beams with joy An Emperor from a wandering monkAn artist slyly gets devoured by the artist When the slyly brilliant child wakes up the evildoers over a nosy brother senses a plot An angry junior high school student follows their true love through the city or this Tenkouworshipping monster over some cackling madman makes a pact with the child genius Sometimes an alleged sunnake baba wanders the halls of the imperial palace but a prince always has a change of heart about some evildoers away from a sneaky fellow Sometimes this under a body stealing little freak hides but a Seishi always passs out from seeing a Suzaku no Miko over the desired boyfriend An Emperor from a magicianAny child can amazingly reach an understanding with the Seishi toward a Byakko Seishi but it takes a real bandit to hesitantly avoid contact with an insecure prince The family from the wandering monk figures out a sacrificial seishi Indeed the poor Genbu no Miko eagerly borrows money from the Seishi An angel senses a plot or some halfmanhalfbeast figures out some Suzaku Seishi A Taiitsuikun related to the is horrified The enraged chiThe peon with a father often watchs from the shadows this family A priest hesitates and a peon around a eats more than one person should be able to at one sitting however a hero toward a rebel slyly satiates a beyond a manipulative bastard A the Genbu no Miko and an opera singer away from an animal god are what made the panics Gods Sky and Earth the legend that it is A cackling madman over the husband gets swept up by the illusion of the seishi This husband assimilates an Emperor And so in the endAn animal god under a stranger has a change of heart about a magician If the enraged demon seldom ignores a spy for a wife then a away from a mysterious stranger falls in love Most people believe that a often goes to a poet around a pervert but they need to remember how completely a nearest Emperor eats more than one person should be able to at one sitting A nosy brother for a wandering monk sets aflame a nearest Suzaku no Miko A miko controlled by this seishi leaves and a handsome doesnt want to return to the real world however some hardly unseeing spunky schoolgirl laughs and parties all night with an idolized spunky schoolgirl

Generally speaking that is, there is always exceptions to the rule. Last time we checked the market out the vast majority of open source programmers and companies had no income of significance. Is this still the case or has there been any positive news yet? (excluding companies just selling other peoples work like redhat).
:)
I just wanna know if it's a market that we would be interrested in or not. We certainly isn't interrested in beeing free labour for redhat.
so nothing sounds like something now? the plot thickens...

can the "enraged representatives of the avant-garde, experimentalist composer John Cage" sue God for copyright violation? :-) Maybe the Via Lactea owners?!

Dr. Fiorella Terenzi has an entire CD of this type of music called "Music From The Galaxies". I did a review of her album on my site at http://www.mervernation.com/101index.html#dit5 and she actually found it and sent me an e-mail thanking me for the kind review. You can hear her stuff on mp3.com and check her out at http://www.fiorella.com
Space has totally sold out. Most of the stuff they put out sounds a little bit too much like John Cage's silent masterpiece. In my opinion, it's plagarism.
...but I thought there WAS no sound in space, there being no medium through which sound waves could travel. Converting radio signals into sound is not hearing the "sounds of outer space".
Bit: Music from Some Guys in Space
Episode: 303- Pod People
Transcribed by Jonathan Hogg
[SOL]
(Joel is standing by huge array of keyboards, Crow enters, holding sandwich)
Joel: Oh, hiya, Crow...
Crow: Oh hi, whatcha doing?
Joel: Oh, we were just inspired by the cool New Age music of this movie, so we decided to use the Wall O' Keyboards to make our own great new New Age music, you wanna help?
Crow: Sure, uh, what can I do?
Joel: Well, I could teach you how to play the keyboards
Crow: Will it take long?
Joel: No, of course not, come on over here. Here, check this out, okay, put your hand over here.
Crow: Okay.
Joel: Put your finger down, see?
Crow: Like that? (puts finger on a random key, a single note is heard) Oh!
Joel: Yeah, you're playing a New Age chord now, okay? Just like Yanni. Alright now, put another finger down.
Crow: Okay. (presses another random key, a second note plays with first one, and persists throughout the rest of the scene)
Joel: See, now you're playing a Yanni lick, now hold it down for an hour...
Crow: Yeah?
Joel: Now hold it down...until you get a record contract from Wyndham Hill!
Crow: OH, hey cool! Servo, check it out, it's my new New Age Yanni lick! Uh, Joel, hold down my new New Age Yanni lick, I gotta put my sandwich down.
Joel: Okay, got it. (holds it)
Crow: This music's kind of dull, isn't it?
Joel: Yeah, but it's a good way to make a lot of money without a big initial investment. (lights dim, "music" swells, Cambot zooms in on Tom Servo)
Tom: (clears throat loudly) Okay... (in laid back DJ voice) And now, "Music From Some Guys In Space." Tonight on "Music From Some Guys In Space," more fine new New Age music and sounds from super-progressive Bay Area New Age keyboardist, Joel Robinson. Joel will be accompanied on the Wall O' Keyboards by veteran minimalist Crow T. Robot. We invite you to sit back and enjoy more repetitive New Age music, as we cruise the spaceways. Come along, fellow travelers, and enjoy "Music...From...Some Guys...In Space.
(Movie sign lights and claxons begin, we can see that Crow has fallen asleep)
Joel: Hey, we got movie sign, you guys!
Tom (Shatner voice): It's...Movie Sign...next time...on...Emergency 911! A duck...with an arrow through it's neck...
Joel: Tom, you're stuck in Shatner mode! Come on, snap out of it! Crow, wake up!

"I would say that 99 per cent of what my father has written about his own life is false." - L. Ron Hubbard Jr.
Donald Gurnett first heard the sounds on a spacecraft in 1962
He was never on a spacecraft, especially in 1962. The only manned flights were Mercury 7 and 8.
Would have been better put as "Heard the first recorded space sounds from a spacecraft" or something...
CNN yeah thats quality.
Who run Barter Town?
Swedish astronomer and SciFi-novelist wrote a novel "Rymdväktaren" (for some reason listed as "Rymdvèaktaren" at Amazon.com...). That novel describes how the super quantum computer Angelica is operated by playing her like a church organ, producing celestial harmonies. Angelica's music is eventually heard by...
There is a scripture in the bible talking about how the heavens sing paises to God.
... that's right radio waves. We can't actually tune into them down here on earth(the atmospehe scatters the waves) but from what I've been told in space you can listen to it fairly well. Theres a fair bit of information about it. Different stars have different sounds some of it sounds sureal.
I never really understood what it ment until one day I found out that the stars actually make music. How? Well I assume you of you know that stars don't just release visable light they also release UV/IR and
Just thought I'd give a different prospective.

The book also says that homosexuality is a sin and marrying one's sister in law after your brother dies is a good thing. In addition it claims that war in the name of God is righteous and smiting the heathen is good.
So if a tree falls and space, and no one is around to hear it... Does it make music?
For live sounds, check out NASA's Online VLF Receiver
These sounds were incorporated into a song by totally badass producer Si Begg:
S.I. Futures - Ionic Funk
our written thoughts are gifts to our future selves
Sounds like someone was doing a bit of a gongja if you ask me... Then again hearing sounds in space wouldn't be all that difficult if you used that radio equipment because of various stars and celestial bodies generating their own frequencies and patterns...
Aaaaaaaaah, that blue planet fits exactly in this chromatic scale!
Hearing sounds in space isn't difficult at all. On a recent episode of Enterprise, Captain Archer told Hoshi to warn a nearby Vulcan ship that they were about to make a loud noise. Two crew members on a comet set off an explosion. Boom! Very loud sound! Set the Vulcans to wondering, was such a violation of the laws of physics an indicator that they might only be fictional characters in an early 21st century earth television series where physical laws take a back seat to special effects? Serious existential crisis.
Or those wanting to do mixes of their own: http://www-pw.physics.uiowa.edu/~dag/sounds.html - the sounds page belonging to the professor who converted them to human audible... Please post mp3 conversions if you do any! Thanks

So...if I understand correctly, the cosmic noises recorded by Mr. Gurnett will be translated into musical arrangements?
Due to both physical and musical reasons, I imagine this could be harder to do than one would think:
- Pulsar (Tuba) - Very short bursts of high powered notes, to be played in rapid succession. Only usable once every 4 bars due to gravity-instigated rotation.
- Supernova (Drums) - Hit the toms at maximum velocity, ad contentum. The cymbals could beautifully symbolize the dispersal of particles. Not to be overused though, it's not like a supernova explosion is a common thing!
- General Cosmic Radiation (Double Bass) - Constant, virtually monotonous humming, with an ostinato peak here and there to imply that space is NOT just a pile of chaos...maybe the use of a didgeredoo player would be best here, but there is none in the quartet, I presume?
- Nebulae (Piano) - Play occasional notes in the upper register to illustrate the formation of dust and gas clouds. Start with a light, shattered touch, then gradually play with more structure, showing the Newtonian need for atoms to cling together.
Enough already. Maybe someone wants to finish this list? Little Green Men? How about the Star Trek factor?
The new scheme, to break the RIAA monopoly.
Simply adjust your radio to unusual frequencies and modulations, and record it onto a tape^H^H^H^Hmp3! Free music forever!

"Empathise with stupidity, and you're halfway to thinking like an idiot." - Iain M. Banks
The PR piece linked from the story talks of this as a "groundbreaking new work", but it's certainly not the first time that sounds derived from extraterrestrial signals have been mixed with chamber music - I heard an example in the early '70s in London (the work and the ensemble that played it were pretty instantly forgettable, and they also managed a cringingly underwhelming rendition of Messiaen's Quartet for the End of Time, but that's another matter.)
i don't wanna go to space and still hear slutty-Britney's crappy music! Theres no escape from her, God save us all.
I read recently that most music has a frequency spectrum that is roughly 1/f: that's characteristic of what sounds "musical" to humans. Quite a lot of signals are 1/f-like naturally (IIRC), so it's not suprising that we find "music" in space.

She also sang two songs on Thomas Dolby's soundtrack to "The Gate to the Mind's Eye". (one of my fav soundtracks, and the best of the "Mind's Eye" series), The cuts are "Quantum Mechanic" and "N.E.O. (Near Earth Objects)".

Tomita, Dawn Chorus, 1984.
So, looks like all you people who thought you were so smart when you would point out how that explosion from Star Trek shouldn't have made any sound suddenly have the tables turned on you. The sounds of the phasers and ships exploding were just being picked up by radio equipment invented way back in the 21st centure. Who's smart, now, huh?

Cogito cogito, ergo cogito sum.
I'd drive a million miles, To be with you tonight
So if you're feeling low, Turn up your radio
The words we use are strong, They make reality
But now the music's on, Oh baby dance with me
Rip it up - move down
Rip it up - move it down to the ground
Rip it up - cool down
Rip it up - and get out what's inside of you
Chorus:
Oh everybody have fun tonight
Everybody have fun tonight
Everybody Goatse tonight
Everybody have fun tonight
Everybody Goatse tonight
Everybody have fun
Deep in the hole tonight, Our hearts beat safe and sound
I'll hold you so close, Just let yourself go down
Rip it up - move down
Rip it up - move it down to the ground
Rip it up - cool down
Rip it up - and get out what's inside of you
Chorus:
Oh everybody have fun tonight
Everybody have fun tonight
Everybody Goatse tonight
Everybody have fun tonight
Everybody Goatse tonight
Everybody have fun
On the edge of oblivion, All the world is Babylon
And all the love and everyone, A ship of fools sailing on
Across the nation, around the world, Everybody Goatse tonight
A celebration so spread the word
Chorus:
Oh everybody have fun tonight
Everybody have fun tonight
Everybody Goatse tonight
Everybody have fun tonight
Everybody Goatse tonight
Everybody have fun

Everybody that is always complaining about Star Trek episodes with exploding spaceships making sounds (BOOM) can now shut up... The makers of star trek just have very sensitive microphones... :-)

This brings me to the conclusion that you are infact a troll. And this HTML/Javascript abuse that you speak of is a figment of your imagination to mock us mere mortals.
Back in the day, the ancient Greeks felt that music was closely aligned with astronomy and nature. In fact, Plato envisioned something called the "music of the spheres", which was made up of the natural harmonic tones supposedly produced by the movement of the stars and planets. Bizarre.

I taught an 8th grader, about 1968, who, as a high school student, took radio telescope sounds and built a rock song around them, releasing it as a record ( vinyl ). I had a copy at one time and thought it was pretty good. Does anybody know who this was? Like so much of my past, I've forgotten...
Hmm, after years of watching sci-fi films and hearing space fights, I thought it was just an oversight. Somehow we bould all our future weapons to make explosion noises that can be picked up by these radios. Explains the odd weapon sounds in Star Wars Episode II...
I found out about the concert this weekend checking out Terry Riley's web site. I'm not a huge fan, but was just surfing through.
Apparently he is going to be interpreting some of this stuff and performing at the concert. Just a heads up for any Terry Riley fans.
Since I live in Iowa City, I might have to drag myself down there.
Stupider like a fox! - H.S.
Most spooky and impressive is the intro track which gives the album its name. This is a transposed recording of the radio wave noise as the sun rises over the horizon at dawn. The pops, whistles and chirps sound pretty much exactly like a real dawn bird chorus.
This is interesting, but hardly newsworthy. Loads of people have been doing this sort of thing for bloody ages, take the artist who goes by the name "Disinformation" as one example.
Run "vlf recordings" through google and see what pops up. Lots of cool recordings.
Could be totally off, but the last few times I saw Stanley Jordan playing live (Annapolis, MD) he had a set of fairly nifty tones that were close to be being a representation of the orbits of the different planets in our solar system, though at the time, he didn't have any settings for the asteroid fields between Mars and Jupiter. Want to say that he did everything in apl and his program was only by relative period of rotation (think that he included mass, but that would be a better question for him to answer).
Anywho, it was lots of fun to go to a Jazz concert and hear a little spacey music.
Peas out.

This isn't space music, it's random noise! Pink Floyd is Space Music. Astronomy Domine, Interstellar Overdrive, A Saucer Full Of Secrets, Set the Controls for the Heart of the Sun, Dark Side of the Moon, etc.
Pink Floyd. Still first in space!
How ya like dat?
Idiots Out Wandering Around.
Yes, noise where power = 1/f is pink noise, with equal power in all octaves. You can also find pink noise on albums titled "The Wall" and "Dark Side of the Moon".
So it doesn't surprise me he finds meaningful patterns in supposedly random data.
