Because I think it’s fun to inflict my musical stylings upon you! Again!
JULY 26, 2005: Saturn Speaks
John Scalzi again. No, I’m not back yet. I still have a week left on my hiatus. However, I wanted to drop a musical composition I did on y’all. The Cassini mission has recorded radio frequencies from Saturn and NASA has fiddled with them to put them into human hearing range, and I thought they sounded interesting enough to work with in a musical sense. So, for your musical delectation: “Saturn Speaks.” It comes in three flavors: Real Media (3.4 MB), small variable bit rate mp3 (4.3 MB) and large variable bit rate mp3 (9.9 MB). The track itself is 7 minutes long. Let me know what you think.
Perfect soundtrack for my next Saturnalia.
Cool! And this is so, for me, apropos! Since I am taking an online Astronomy class right now! As we (figuratively) speak!
I just shared a link to this post with my class. Hope they enjoy it as much as I do.
Long lost dance track from Forbidden Planet?
That is certainly hypnotic. It’s going right on the Pod – I have a night bus trip to Hiroshima this week, and this is just what I need.
Well aren’t you the talented one? That was very cool, sort of Brian Eno-ish. I saved that one and will re-play
I love it, but it’s annoying Pangaea, the Slightly Used Cat.
Enjoyed that.
I may have already said this, but I think it’s awesome that THE John Scalzi has so many talents. And music is definitely one of them!!! I listened to the before track and thought of a haunted house. I listened to the music-laden track and loved it =) Very sci-fi!!!
That’s almost as creepy as those deep-sea sounds that hydrophones keep picking up…

You don’t mean that annoying chanting about someone named Kathy-Lou, or something like that, do you?
