I’ve just received the last two CDs I was missing from this 5-CD set.

And I can only say, there’s no space ambient spacier than that, EVER.

Symphonies Of The Planets is a 5-CD set of NASA recordings made by Voyagers.

According to the CD inlay the sounds come from:

• Interactions of the solar wind with magnetospheres of the planets
• Magnetospheres themselves
• Radio waves bouncing between planets and the surface of their atmospheres
• Field noise within space
• Interactions of charged particles & solar wind
• Charged particle emissions from the rings of planets

The instruments on board the Voyagers picked up all these emissions, and the CDs contain a selection of what happened to have fallen into the audible frequency range.

Every one of these CDs has a different flavor and contains ca. 30 minutes of droning sounds.
Unfortunately they sound exactly as I would like space ambient to sound. Why “unfortunately”? Well, because it raises an interesting question - if the human-generated drones (Lull’s Continue being a good example) sound like the “real stuff”, what’s the point in generating them at all? It’s like if someone were fabricating real stones (not to mention that other someone willing to go and buy these human-made real stones). I’ll have to sleep on that problem.
