SONOLOGYST - 'Planetarium' 2CD

An aural exploration of the solar system by Sonologyst, using data from NASA's probes. 

On the latest album by Sonologyst, raw data from radio waves, electromagnetic fields, and plasma fluctuations, utilising data sonification files provided by NASA, are transformed into a haunting soundscape, unveiling the ambient music of planets, solar winds, and the cosmic beyond. 

As the newest addition to Sonologyst's series of sonic documentaries, this work deepens his exploration of the sonic spectrum, converting cosmic phenomena into immersive auditory experiences.

Double CD in a matt-finish gatefold ecopak, with a bonus disc of the raw source material from NASA's probes.

NASA and other space agencies have captured "sounds" from the cosmos by recording non-audible signals like radio waves, electromagnetic waves, and plasma (ionized gas that’s prevalent in space) wave fluctuations. These are converted into audio frequencies we can hear using a process called data sonification. Spacecraft like Voyager, Cassini, and Juno are equipped with special instruments (e.g., plasma wave antennas, magnetometers, radio wave receivers) to detect radio waves, plasma waves, and electromagnetic fields. 

These signals can provide data on phenomena like solar wind, planetary magnetospheres, and charged particles. Since many of these signals are outside our hearing range (radio waves might have frequencies far below the audible range (20 Hz to 20 kHz) or far above it, while magnetic and plasma waves are often in the range of milliHertz (mHz) to kilohertz (kHz), also outside human hearing.), they are converted using various techniques, including frequency scaling, sampling, filtering, and amplitude modulation. Some events, like plasma wave bursts, happen over long periods. Scientists may speed up the playback so we can hear the changes in a shorter time frame. 

After conversion, the resulting sounds are often enhanced to make certain patterns, pitches, or changes in intensity more noticeable. This may involve amplifying certain frequencies or adding layers to represent multi-dimensional data. This processing helps bring out subtle differences that might otherwise be hard to discern.

Out 27 June.

2031 : MOUSE

This ‘listening’ is set in the near future. 

Because governments passed legislation for far too many laws in the past which either ended up being abused by the general public, or completely unenforceable, governments then changed tact and made everything a crime and made every single law enforceable instead. 

As you can imagine, this imposed huge burdens on the existing judicial system, police and prison service. So, to alleviate this, these systems and services were then authorised by the government to go out to private tender instead.  

With a private judicial system, police and prison service firmly in place, supplemented by huge fines, the only growth industry in the country was in construction. That is, in the construction of prisons and detention centres, furthering a total abuse of power perpetrated by these so-called 'private' institutions.

This ‘listening’ is an interpretation of that future and, as with many of my spoken word offerings, comes as a warning.

Don’t have nightmares…

Hello. I go under the name of Mouse. I've dabbled in and out music for many years, but I have only now got to the stage where I'm taking it a bit more seriously. I try my best to play music in a tuneful sort of way and sing songs in a hummable sort of way. I hope you like my songs and spoken word 'listenings', and you are always free to comment. I might not like all your comments though, but at this stage of my life, I'm just too old to care. I also have an Instagram account @mousehasspoken, which you may find quite interesting with poems and videos a-plenty for your perusal. Love and Peace to you all. Mouse

Sonologyst is the solo project of Raffaele Pezzella, driven by an exploration of the intersection between music and contemporary mythologies. Sonologyst's work spans from documentary-style soundscapes inspired by scientific and Fortean phenomena to immersive post-industrial sonic sculpting.

Since 2014, Pezzella has curated Unexplained Sounds, a 'Global Network of Aural Disorientation.' This initiative evolved into the primary label, Unexplained Sounds Group, founded in 2015. The network has grown to include subsidiaries such as Eighth Tower Records, ZeroK, and Reverse Alignment.

In 2021, the Eighth Tower label expanded its scope to include book publishing and an online magazine under the same name. Pezzella also hosts a streaming radio show, The Recognition Test.

Sonologyst's recordings have been released by respected labels including Cold Spring Records, Unexplained Sounds Group, Eighth Tower Records, Gravity's Rainbow Tapes, and Attenuation Circuit.
