Some time ago, I accidentally read an article about the Voyager spacecraft on Wikipedia, and this was the beginning of my dream journey. I have been interested in astronomy and cosmos since childhood. So I decided to make some space music. Although vacuum does not have the ability to move sound and music will not be heard there, I still like to imagine that I am floating deep in the galaxies and the only thing that accompanies me is music.
This piece is inspired by the story of Voyager spacecraft that were launched in 1977.
August 25 is the day NASA announced that the Voyager spacecraft has left the solar system and entered endless interstellar space.
These two spacecraft are the most distant human creations in space, which are likely to be able to send messages by 2025.
Voyager carries a golden disk containing a summary of human civilization for intelligent space creatures who may one day find us.
In this piece, I tried to combine the feeling of hope and floating. However, these two poles are also opposite because the situation of suspension and uncertainty will not intersect with hope. A situation that everyone may have experienced in life, especially living in these difficult days in Iran. Floating and Suspended means moving towards something for which there is no purpose. Like a spacecraft floating in space. In parts to describe the vacuum space, I tried to design a sound that would give the listener a sense of trapped oxygen and trapped breaths.
