Greg Smith, a professor at the Savannah College of Art and Design – and a 25-year IMAX trainer for astronaut crews traveling to the International Space Station (ISS), is leading his graduate sound design students to record “everyday sounds” such as birds chirping, the waves crashing on the beach and traffic. Smith trained one of ISS’ current occupants – NASA astronaut Kjell Lindgren – the grad students sent these sounds directly to him up in space.
