Re: [NetBehaviour] Team records 'music' from stars - Like Aphex Twin music.
Hi Bob, That's pretty interesting - what do you think it means in respect of them sounding similar? marc Some years ago, as part of a medical project to spot newborn babies that might be deaf, recordings were made of the sound of a womb and played back to the babies on tiny headphones. Those without hearing problems responded to the recording with unmistakable recognition. As I recall, the medical team's recording of the sound of the womb was strikingly similari to the recordings of these stars...

They are sonically similar because they are recording very different phenomena using effectively the same encoding system. As such the perceived similarity is a function of the code, not the phenomena.

Reminds me of Pythagoras's notion of sidereal harmonics, medievals' music of the spheres, Boethius's musica universalis, Kepler's harmonice mundi, etc. There's not the smallest orb which thou behold'st but in his motion like an angel sings.

Scientists have recorded the sound of three stars similar to our Sun using France's Corot space telescope. The subtly pulsating, haunting sounds are very similar to artist Aphex Twin's minimalistic nineties album 'Selected Ambient Works, Vol. 2,' only stripping away what little melody it had and leaving just the beat. http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/science/nature/7687286.stm ___ NetBehaviour mailing list NetBehaviour@netbehaviour.org http://www.netbehaviour.org/mailman/listinfo/netbehaviour ___ NetBehaviour mailing list NetBehaviour@netbehaviour.org http://www.netbehaviour.org/mailman/listinfo/netbehaviour
