Blue Dot

Test centre sounds reimagined by Matt Rose.

Blue Dot uses a very low frequency sound sample of the European Space Agency’s IXV spaceplane being exposed to the severe vibration experienced during take-off, simulated by ESA ESTEC Test Centre's shaker tables. I added shortwave radio signals and sounds generated from fuzzySynths gear to suggest travelling through the ionosphere and on into space. fuzzySynths create PCBs for Eurorack modules, using microcontrollers for maximum functionality behind small panels. 

Part of the Space is the Place project - for more information, see http://www.citiesandmemory.com/space
