A simple sonification of the variability of the total magnetic field during BepiColombo’s second Venus flyby as measured by the Mercury Planetary Orbiter’s Magnetometer (OB sensor). 

The audio spans the same time range 12:00 to 14:30 UTC on 10 August 2021, including the closest approach at 13:51 UTC. 

Almost all high frequency noises are due to spacecraft activity. The low frequency, wind-like noises are caused by the solar wind and its interaction with Venus. The sudden bow shock crossing towards the end can be heard clearly. The data is not yet cleaned from high pitch spacecraft disturbances, but the wind-like sounds allow a rare glimpse into the solar wind interaction with a planetary atmosphere.

What is heard is the 128 Hz measurement of the high-pass filtered (0.01 Hz) total magnetic field, mapped to audio with 44.1 kHz sampling frequency. For better audibility some compression, limiting and increase in gain is applied to the signal.

BepiColombo - Mission to Mercury

The sound of the solar wind at Venus

A series of relatively cloud-free images over Northwest Australia was captured by the Visual Infrared Imaging Radiometer Suite (VIIRS), from August 1-31, 2016. The music you hear directly represents the day-to-day variations in the intensity of 5 visible-range spectral reflectance (Rrs) channels, extracted from a specific location (-13.359o, 120.984o) over the course of this time series.

Indian Ocean Sonification

Hey all! Here's the first music of 2023!

This track was inspired by Mega Man 7, F Zero and many other games from that era. I've always wanted to do something fast paced but have the essence of classic video game music (hence the SNES and Mega Drive sounds being utilized in this) and thus this was born. And I'm very happy with how it turned out in the end. 

As always, I hope you all enjoy!

This is a mashup between Sonic the Hedgehog 3's Ice Cap Zone Act 1 theme with the previously unreleased Jetzons song Hard Times, made with Konami's VRCVI (also known as VRC6) sound chip. Sonic the Hedgehog 3's soundtrack was set to be a collaboration between Michael Jackson and Sega, but the partnership fell apart. Still, some of the tunes survived anyway, like Ice Cap Zone's theme, composed by Brad Buxer, Michael Jackson's friend and band member. This theme is a new version of an early unreleased track by Buxer's former band, so I thought it would be interesting to combine both.

Thirteen hours of radio emissions from Jupiter's intense auroras are presented here, both visually and in sound. The data was collected when the spacecraft made its first orbital pass of the gas giant on Aug 27, 2016, with all spacecraft instruments turned on. The frequency range of these signals is from 7 to 140 kilohertz. Radio astronomers call these "kilometric emissions" because their wavelengths are about a kilometer long.

A recording of a magnitude 3.3 marsquake from InSight's seismometer, called SEIS. This quake was recorded on July 25, 2019 (Sol 235). Far below the human range of hearing, this sonification from SEIS had to be sped up and slightly processed to be audible through headphones.
