Uranus

This is a sonification of the four outer planets of the Solar System: - Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune. This sonification was originally played on a surround system with each of the planets following a scaled orbit time which was comparative to the actual orbits of the planets. The sonification was played with the listener being in heliocentric position and the sonified planets orbited in relation to their orbits around the sun.
