Traditionally, field recordings are credited to the person who did the recording, rather than to what emitted the sound. So in this case the credit should probably go to Voyager.

All hail Veeger.

Music for Spaceports.

Nice

FREEEEEBIIIIIIRD!

You probably think the sound of the wind blowing sucks too. I like natural phenomenon that sound cool.

I'd never thought about it until now, but yes I do think the sound of the wind is boring. I'm sorry to rain on the five star parade, and I like all of your other submissions, but it just doesn't work for me.

Baldr, I agree with you on the other stuff, and was about to shit all over this video too. However, since the E&M frequencies are 20-20kHz and thus could (with the right setup) induce physical vibrations at audible frequencies, it's a little more legitimate to refer to this at least as "sound". It's certainly not music, but that doesn't make it any less awesome.

Generating "music" from essentially random crap like genome sequences which could be represented in all sorts of arbitrary ways is a whole different retarded story.

Perhaps you are right Gamara. Perhaps being forced for listen to no-talent avant guard artists riding on the coattails of discovery has hardened my heart to the majesty of the Divine Architect.

Perhaps Jupiter has place in the world of music.

Not music my ass. This has a melody and a beat. Get hearing aids.

Why are you talking like you're forced to listen to these?

I hate you, Baldr.

Then you know what you have to do.

The actual video doesn't claim this to be music - just the poster. If you put the hippie hate aside and listen to this objectively it's pretty interesting. This is fucking Juptier - this is the crazy shit that 1.4 quadrillion km of gas clouds generate.

Okay. Okay. I admit that this is cool, and I was wrong to one-star it. Who would have thought that Jupiter would have so many defenders?

It's been several months so nobody will read this, but For The Record, my "Gas Music from Jupiter" title was an obscure Firesign Theatre joke. On their "Everything You Know is Wrong" album, making fun of New Age conspiracy theorists, they riffed "Gas Music from Jupiter" as a New Age album.

I would have given it a better title but I have spent 10 years wondering what the fuck gas music from Jupiter would sound like, so I hope you'll understand that I just HAD to present it that way. I had no choice.

"Remember, there's a Seeker born every minute!"

BTW: Fuck you if you don't like this, it's gorgeous.

I'm reading it and rock on with yo crazy namin self.

also favorited so as to help remember to listen to while on drugs.

btw Earth has its own screechy howly song, you can hear it with a ham radio. Jupiter sounds like whales, earth sounds like parakeets

Ba-zing!

I lol'd pretty hard.

Reminded me of "Black Star", for whatever reason.

Damn, out of print

Sad - but! The albums *might* (hint hint) be on bittorrent.

I've managed to listen to some of those, and now I have to wonder if Akira Yamaoka must have this album somewhere. It is so Silent Hill that I am simultaneously giddy and terrified contemplating the universe around me

Fuck, all Limewire can come up with for me is "Symphonies of the Planets unplugged in ny" and "Voyager Recordings hot remix by Miley Cyrus"

You stole my comment, you comment-stealer.

shit... i forgot an s... how embarrassing.

Absolutely spot-on. Also, this is spellbinding.

That is exactly what this video needs, give this man a grant.

Imagine being able to hear this and having to float past Jupiter. That would be the most awesome and eerie experience ever, floating on by as Jupiter serenades you with its horrific macabre music. We need to find hopefully if other planets do this too, so we can rearrange Holst's original symphony into a new modern age crazy dark-ambient album of our solar system.

These are EM waves, so if your spaceship has any loose, rattly magnetic components they may vibrate this way.

Jupiter needs band members, so it's not just one long solo.
