Hi there,

this is something weird i think i had to share with
the audio-loving community here:

http://www.spiegel.de/wissenschaft/welt ... 26,00.html

They state that the lunar probe cassini recorded some noises emmited from Saturn, which sound almost like the noise made for the weird Planet Altair-4, out of the Movie "Forbidden Planet" from 1956 !

As i checked the Samples provided on the page, i couldn´t believe what i heard.
This is something really really strange. Check it out, what do u think?

Cheers

Daniel

that almost sounds like a wind-up, it's so freaky.

i'm tempted to sample that, or use it as my ringtone.

Spiegel is comparing the same source for both the radio signal coming from Saturn, and the sound used in Forbidden Planet.

You can hear the real signal from Saturn on the NASA website at http://www.nasa.gov/wav/123163main_cas-skr1-112203.wav. It's similar, but not nearly as musical as what's used in Forbidden Planet. Still kind of creepy though...

It's the proof, Saturn Inhabitants use Ableton Live.

The Nasa link doesnt work.

There were some cool samples online a while back of stars and other gas giants that were referedto on The Sky At Night (BBC program) That was cool.

Remove the period at the end of the link, then it'll work.

Here is part 1 of a 5-CD set of this stuff.
This is the absolute best deep-space ambient music ever, IMO. I listened to this every night for 5-6 years...perfect dreamtime sounds!!

It sounds exactly like what's on the NASA link, but 3+ hours worth.

btw, it's sonic translation of electromagnetic energy, if I understand correctly.

Those cds look cool. Makes me wonder though.... would they grant permission to the likes of you and me to sample and create music around this stuff, and the recordings of their technicians and scientists..? I'd love to do that.
