"Space" music from NASA audio

The NASA space agency in October 2014 opened an account on the SoundCloud website , where it uploads sound files recorded during historical missions of the past years, as well as current operations. For example, here are the sounds of rocket engines , and here the sounds of radio waves in the earth's atmosphere and the signals of the first Soviet satellite.

The NASA collection has attracted the attention of professional musicians from the Fabrica Music Area team. They used the archive as a source of samples to compose their own music.

In total, there were four compositions combined into the album 80UA . The name of the album is invented in accordance with the size of the solar system in astronomical units (Astronomical Units).

The first composition "Express 999" was created under the impression of the anime "Galactic Express 999", in which a locomotive with cars travels through space.



The second track "Yellowknife Bay" got its name by location, which was investigated by the rover Curiosity. For the bass in the end used the sound from the Kepler telescope. According to the author of the music, this is the most powerful bass he has heard lately.

The third composition is called “V1 | 130 "in honor of the spacecraft Voyager 1, launched in 1977. He is now in 130 astronomical units from Earth.

Finally, the fourth composition - "Northern Crown" (Corona Borealis), after the name of a small constellation in the northern hemisphere. This is one of the favorite constellations of the famous scientist and popularizer of science Karl Sagan.

The tracks are published on the day of the 12th anniversary of Creative Commons, under a free license that allows any broadcast and download music.
