Space Sessions: Songs From a Tin Can - Making Of

A song for my mother, performed and written with my brother.

Eleanor's Song

This is a recording of the background noise of the US lab on the International Space Station, recorded by Commander Chris Hadfield.

This is what normal life sounds like in space.

Ambient noise of the International Space Station

The sound of starting up the toilet on the space station. Not exactly conducive to reading.

Toilet Starting on Station

Here is the volume of the ambient noise of the station when closed into my sound dampened sleep station.

After a little while it becomes somewhat soothing. Combine that with the relaxation of weightlessness and you've got a pretty nice sleep.

Stowing Experiment Bottles

This is the sound the space toilet is making when not in operation. It is a similar steady hum to that of the rest of the station, surrounded by hardworking fans.

Space Toilet (Steady Noise)

The sounds of a solid workout. Astronauts on station have to work out two hours a day to keep their bodies from deteriorating due to a lack of gravity.

ARED (Advanced Resistive Exercise Device)

It is arguable that this is the most grating sound on station. I don't recommend listening to it on full with your headphones on.
