well if thats real? it is cooool:D

The titles are a little misleading. It's a sonic representation of the electromagnetic spectrum. Its like if you were to draw some sound waves, that would be a visual representation of sound, this is a sonic representation of electromagnetic radiation. The original recordings would not have been heard.

There's a box set called "Symphonies of the Planets" that has a huge amount of this stuff. Pretty neat if you're looking to put on some ambient spacey sounds. I love it, then again i am into Tangerine Dream.

Cool a greatest hits of the solar system:) I love this music if it can be called that, like old-school electronica.
btw. thanks for the explanation.

wow, thanks for the info

Tangerine Dream? what is that?:)

hehe, just googled it, COOL>>> i already like it!

[hagbard_celine]

I'm listening to it as I write this.

I find it very relaxing. What an amzing sound, so smooth and harmonic. It contains pure chords with little clashing. And if you read the intro it says that the frequency lies within human audibility. If it were real sound, instead of electrical, we'd be able to hear it all the time. Did that happen by chance?:confused:

Thanks, BB. I'll have to get that.

I think most people are aware that the word "sound" is used in a metaphorical sense because most people know that mechanical sound waves cannot travel through the vacuum of space.

Scientists Say The Earth Is Humming
Not just noise, but a deep, astonishing
music. Can you hear it?

This is the kind of thing we forget.

This is the kind of thing that, given all our distractions, our celeb obsessions and happy drugs and bothersome trifles like family and bills and war and health care and sex and love and porn and breathing and death, tends to fly under the radar of your overspanked consciousness, only to be later rediscovered and brought forth and placed directly in front of your eyeballs, at least for a moment, so you can look, really look, and go, oh my God, I had no idea.

The Earth is humming. Singing. Churning out a tune without the aid of battery or string or wind-up mechanism and its song is ethereal and mystifying and very, very weird, a rather astonishing, newly discovered phenomena that's not easily analyzed, but which, if you really let it sink into your consciousness, can change the way you look at everything.

Indeed, scientists now say the planet itself is generating a constant, deep thrum of noise. No mere cacophony, but actually a kind of music, huge, swirling loops of sound, a song so strange you can't really fathom it, so low it can't be heard by human ears, chthonic roars churning from the very water and wind and rock themselves, countless notes of varying vibration creating all sorts of curious tonal phrases that bounce around the mountains and spin over the oceans and penetrate the tectonic plates and gurgle in the magma and careen off the clouds and smack into trees and bounce off your ribcage and spin over the surface of the planet in strange circular loops, "like dozens of lazy hurricanes," as one writer put it.

It all makes for a very quiet, otherworldly symphony so odd and mysterious, scientists still can't figure out exactly what's causing it or why the hell it's happening. Sure, sensitive instruments are getting better at picking up what's been dubbed "Earth's hum," but no one's any closer to understanding what the hell it all might mean. Which, of course, is exactly as it should be.

Because then, well, then you get to crank up your imagination, your mystical intuition, your poetic sensibility - and if there's one thing we're lacking in modern America, it's ... well, you know.

Me, I like to think of the Earth as essentially a giant Tibetan singing bowl, flicked by the middle finger of God and set to a mesmerizing, low ring for about 10 billion years until the tone begins to fade and the vibration slows and eventually the sound completely disappears into nothingness and the birds are all, hey what the hell happened to the music? And God just shrugs and goes, well that was interesting.

Or maybe the planet is more like an enormous wine glass, half full of a heady potion made of horny unicorns and divine lubricant and perky sunshine, around the smooth, gleaming rim of which Dionysus himself circles his wet fingertip, generating a mellifluous tone that makes the wood nymphs dance and the satyrs orgasm and the gods hum along as they all watch 7 billion confused human ants scamper about with their lattes and their war and their perpetually adorable angst, oblivious.

But most of all, I believe the Earth actually (and obviously) resonates, quite literally, with the Hindu belief in the divine sound of OM (or more accurately, AUM), that single, universal syllable that contains and encompasses all: birth and death, creation and destruction, being and nothingness, rock and roll, Christian and pagan, meat and vegetable, spit and swallow. You know?

But here's the best part: This massive wave of sound? The Earth's deep, mysterious OM, it's perpetual hum of song? Totally normal - that is, if by "normal" you mean "unfathomably powerful and speaking to a vast mystical timelessness we can't possibly comprehend."

Indeed, all the spheres do it, all the planets and all the quasars and stars and moons and whirlpool galaxies, all vibrating and humming like a chorus of wayward deities singing sea shanties in a black hole. It's nothing new, really: Mystics and poets and theorists have pondered the "music of the spheres" (or musica universalis) for eons; it is the stuff of cosmic philosophy, linking sacred geometry, mathematics, cosmology, harmonics, astrology and music into one big cosmological poetry slam.

Translation: You don't have to look very far to understand that human beings - hell, all animals, really - adore song and music and tone and rhythm, and then link this everyday source of life straight to the roar of the planet itself, and then back out to the cosmos.

In other words, you love loud punk? Metal? Jazz? Deep house? Saint-Saens with a glass of Pinot in the tub? Sure you do. That's because somewhere, somehow, deep in your very cells and bones and DNA, it links you back to source, to the Earth's own vibration, the pulse of the cosmos. Oh yes it does. To tap your foot and sway your body to that weird new Portishead tune is, in effect, to sway it to the roar of the universe. I mean, obviously.

At some point we'll probably figure it all out. Science will, with its typical charming, arrogant certainty, sift and measure and quantify this "mystical" Earthly hum, and tell us it merely comes from, say, ocean movements, or solar wind, or 10 billion trees all deciding to grow a quarter millimeter all at once. We will do as we always do: oversimplify, peer through a single lens of understanding, stick this dazzling phenomenon in a narrow category, and forget it.

How dangerously boring. I much prefer, in matters mystical and musical and deeply cosmic, to tell the logical mind to shut up and let the soul take over and say, wait wait wait, maybe most humans have this divine connection thing all wrong. Maybe God really isn't some scowling gay-hating deity raining down guilt and judgment and fear on all humankind after all.

Maybe she's actually, you know, a throb, a pulse, a song, deep, complex, eternal. And us, well, we're just bouncing and swaying along as best we can, trying to figure out the goddamn melody.

In the late 1970s, NASA launched two small spacecraft, Voyager I and Voyager II, and sent them through our solar system, past the planets, and then far out into interstellar space.

Voyager 1, now the most distant human-made object in the universe, and Voyager 2, close on its heels, continue their ground-breaking journey, studying the region in space where the Sun's influence ends and the dark recesses of interstellar space begin.

The entire Voyager program is considered by many to be the most productive, and certainly the most cost-effective, space program ever.
Outer space is filled with all sorts of electronic waves. The two Voyager spacecraft detect these electronic signals and then, with radio transmitters as powerful as a small lightbulb, transmit the signals back to earth, where they are converted to audible sounds.

Yes, I know: electronic waves and energy are not "sound." These sounds were derived and created from the transmitted signals by converting the electronic waves to audible frequency. The resulting sounds are fascinating and haunting.

I have to agree with the author of the article--these electronic signals are fascinating and haunting when translated into sound. Each celestial body had a different "music" to it, as well.

That was beautiful, chattanova--thanks for posting this. :)

WOW! thanks for that clear explanation...

I need to get the symphonies of the planets...im sure nobody in hip-hop has sampled a planets song before! :D

[jimmi]

When you blow a didgeridoo,more correctly 'yadaki', you're skull resonates in sympathy, you also resonate with what's being described on this thread while you 'play'. Blowing a didge inside a stone circle produces different harmonics depending on where in the circle you are. Blowing a didge can let you interact directly with our planet's song.

[belial]

Hmm...

Sounds like a lizard to me.:D

Wake up sheep.

Let's concentrate on what's REALLY going on shall we?

Peace.

Every object resonates. Planets ofcourse must do as well.
This is also how they can break up and disintergrate.

Yea, it was claimed by Nikola Tesla (http://www.teslasociety.com/) that he knew how to split the earth in two using resonance.

Here (http://www.scienceclarified.com/everyday/Real-Life-Chemistry-Vol-4/Resonance.html) is some reading on resonance.

I always liked the story about the Tacoma Bridge (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3mclp9QmCGs) that was destroyed, just when the frequency was right. About 40mph winds caused the bridge to collapse. Due to the wind passing through the bridge at the exact resonant frequency of the bridge. If the winds never hit this resonant frequency "bang-on", the bridge would not have fallen.

There's a program called 'Metasynth' which can take data and turn it into soundwaves. Aphex Twin has been known to use it to turn pictures into audio which can be viewed on a spectrograph when played back. I would assume something similar has been used there.

Really, Really fascinating!!

Can you hear sounds through a vacuum?

[sharpiesix]

Can you hear sounds through a vacuum?

Na, no air to propagate in space, they recorded the electromagnetic waves emanating from the planet, then pit shift them up to human hearing. And then convert to sound with speakers.

It was a rhetorical question ;)

Interesting though

[element]

Good sounds, this brings inner rest.

[disorder2k8]

The answer to the old saying "if a tree falls in a forest does it make a sound" (or sometimes "if a tree falls and nobody is around to hear it")

is no

Sound is the term for whats picked up by the ear, or a device that can convert the waves into electronic pulses. All light and sound starts out as waves, radio, microwave (=tiny radio waves) etc

A sound wave, has a frequency/pitch associated with it

A light wave has a colour band (ultra violet>infra red)

more info can be found in the usual places.

i watched a brilliant documentary a few weeks ago called something like ' death of the sun ' on Nat geo channel i think ..
anyway that had tapes of the sun singing .. the scientists had recorded it .. it was amazing

[branko]

I think planets and sun are living creatures. And that are how they communicate.

[space lizard]

This sound is what Jim Morrison sang about in the song "When the music's over" - The sound within the earth is otherworldly inhabitants within the planet gearing up to come out

A tree falling in the forest has sound and heat making potential. Whether or not there is a hearing system there to convert the Acoustic waves in to electrical impulses, is abstract, the energy is there. The chances of a forest not possessing any hearing systems is quite slim.

Mathematically the system has sound making potential, but no, no sound as defined by physics, just energy waves.

What came first the chicken or the egg?

Pythagoras knew it all along?? without technology.

"Pythagoras applied the Science of Numbers to music, giving the Western world the mathematical basis of its present musical system. The abstract Circle of music is Sound. The mathematical point within that circle, from which the music of our earth emerges, is the "Tone of Nature," called Kung by the ancient Chinese. The "line" of music, derived from the ratio 2:3, is what is now called the "perfect fifth." The rotation of this line forms the "Circle of Fifths," which gives the basis of all key relationships."]Pythagoras applied the Science of Numbers to music, giving the Western world the mathematical basis of its present musical system. The abstract Circle of music is Sound. The mathematical point within that circle, from which the music of our earth emerges, is the "Tone of Nature," called Kung by the ancient Chinese. The "line" of music, derived from the ratio 2:3, is what is now called the "perfect fifth." The rotation of this line forms the "Circle of Fifths," which gives the basis of all key relationships.

The music of this planet, according to Pythagoras, is but a small copy of the "Music of the Spheres." The seven tones of the musical scale correspond to the seven sacred planets, each of which is characterized by a certain tone. As Shakespeare makes Lorenzo say in The Merchant of Venice, "There's not the slightest orb which thou beholdest but in its motion like an angel sings." The study of music was obligatory in the Pythagorean School, not only as a science but also as a healing agent. Iamblichus informs us that "Pythagoras believed that music greatly contributed to health, if it was used in the proper manner." Pythagoras taught that the purest type of sound comes from stringed instruments and that wind instruments tend to excite the lower nature rather than to quiet it, an observation later corroborated by Plato.

not so long ago Patric More mentioned on the Sky at night monthly chat that the sun has a sound , a very low frequency sound .

all stars have their own signiture , as do all planets and other bodys in space .

the only thing strange about Jupiters sound is that it seems to be continious , unlike other bodies where their electro magnetic frequencies turned into sound seem rather static , or shall i say very different to Jupiters sound .mny other universal bodies make sounds like a load of vibrationary noise just buzzing or vibrating at a constant rate to which could sound like trash or interfearance .

it does seem unique unlike many other universal electro magnetic interperetations .

what it is ?

who knows ?

:cool:

[hagbard_celine]

In a sense they are. Made form living cells, so it's a collection of consciousness that created matter.

I agree, planets and stars have a consciousness. I read James Lovelock's Gaia books and thought: Why just the Earth? Maybe other planets are alive too.:cool:

Heh, that's almost like a videogame. Different song for different place.
Hearing the songs of planets etc, might be a possibility in other dimensions etc. or achieving higher states of consciousness..;)

Exactly! Great how they sound just like the cheesy 50s or even newer space flicks.

Another chart topper, chattanova ;)

[dalinex]

I listened all of them, and except the black hole, reminded me on sounds you hear when you are diving, under water, and somehow I have feeling that babies in womb hear sound something like Jupiter or even Saturn with little more diverse music - wave patterns.

Anyway, Earth was disturbing for me, while Jupiter sounded like chimes inside huge church - with multiple echoes ...

Does anyone knows the HZ frequencies of these planetary songs?

[dude111]

w0w what an awesome thread!!!

How do they know how what sounds the planets are making? (I mean how are the radio waves translated into audio)

How do we know the sounds are accurate?

VERY PLEASING/MYSTERIOUS SOUNDS!!

[strangeinlostworld]

Saturn sounds so strange. Earth sounds.....beautiful.....innocent.

Go on youtube to hear the other planets. :)

[strangeinlostworld]

Hmm, I wonder why there aren't any of Venus.....

What might they be hiding?

[dude111]

Maybe there isnt any sounds from Venus perhaps..
