In space, no one can hear you scream but the void isnt quite as silent as you might think.
Cosmic particles populate the emptiness of space, and while they make no sound in the conventional sense, their speeding paths can be translated into sounds we can hear.
Now Domenico Vicinanza, a project manager at Géant Europes high-speed data network that powers Cern and the Large Hadron Collider among other things has taken 37 years of data sent back from deep space by Nasas Voyager 1 and 2 spacecrafts, and turned it into music.
A duet, separated by billions of kilometres
Vicinanza used 320,000 measurements collected at one-hour intervals by the cosmic ray detector aboard each spacecraft to build a musical piece, tying different detections to different frequencies of note.
Different groups of instruments and sound textures were used to given each of the two different spacecraft - which are separated by billions of kilometres of space a unique musical voice producing a duet from deep space.
more, with music (wonderful)
