   We’re psyched to announce Space Project, a collection of songs from 14 artists who used unique sound recordings from space to create their very own soundscapes. The first single is Youth Lagoon’s expansive “Worms,” which features noises from the Rings of Uranus.

   The audio tracks that form the raw material for Space Project were recorded by the Voyager 1 and Voyager 2 space probes that NASA launched in 1977 and still uses to study the outer solar system. The satellites carry numerous instruments fine-tuned to record in different portions of the electromagnetic spectrum. The “sounds” recorded by the Voyager probes aren’t sounds in the conventional sense; rather, they are electromagnetic radiation fluctuations in the magnetosphere of the planets, moons and large asteroids the Voyager probes traveled near. Each celestial body is composed of different elements, has its own size and mass, and therefore sounds unique.

   Jupiter:
   A Porcelain Raft: “Giove”
   B The Antlers: “Jupiter”

   Miranda:
   A Mutual Benefit: “Terraform”
   B Anna Meredith: “Miranda”

   Neptune:
   A The Spiritualized Mississippi Space Program: “Always Together With You (The Bridge Song)”
   B The Holydrug Couple: “Amphitrites Lost”

   Uranus:
   A Youth Lagoon: “Worms”
   B Blues Control: “Blues Danube”

   Saturn:
   A Beach House: “Saturn Song”
   B Zomes: “Moonlet”

   Earth:
   A Absolutely Free: “EARTH I”
   B Jesu: “Song of Earth”

   Io:
   A Benoit & Sergio: “Long Neglected Words”
   B Larry Gus: “Sphere of Io (For Georg Cantor)”
