Space in its near infinite vastness has a soundtrack of its own and NASA has been capturing these sounds and posting them onto their soundcloud page. The page has become a myriad of different communications between astronauts and ground control as well as various sounds emitted by objects in space, including comets. That resource has been a treasure trove for enterprising and inventive producers looking to give their tracks an otherworldly vibe that you can't find down here. Five of these producers, Davide Cairo known professionally as edisonnoside, Giacomo Muzzacato, known professionally as Yakamoto Kotzuga, Francesco Novera, Geremia Vinattieri and Jhon Williams, also known as JWCM were intrigued by the sounds. They were contacted by Italian collective, Farbrica Music Area to work on a soundtrack for a documentary about aliens. The byproduct was a four-song EP titled 80UA, named after the dimensions of our solar system measured in Astronomical Units. That translates to a diameter of 11,967,829,700,000 meters. Try and wrap your head around that for a second when you go on your next run.
The EP is incredibly well composed and the sounds seem like they were man made, which makes this even more remarkable considering that every sonic wave comes from an object in space.
Each producer spoke to The Creator's Project about the EP and gave a small description of each track.
Yakamoto spoke profoundly about using space sounds to create music, "I think it's really crazy to be able to listen to the sounds that do not really exist. Especially if they come from light-years away. Space has always been fascinating to me, and I believe that this discovery represents the highest point of human evolution."
JWCM were fascinated with the project and the mystery of space.
"To me, the most fascinating thing about this project is working with something so unknown and far away."
