As I have said many times, our sun is the “game changer” for all life and DNA in our solar system. We are getting ready to go thru some pretty wild rides this year with the sun being in its “active cycle” for 2012. Already, we are having back to back M-class flares for the past three days. Below you will find an amazing piece of video work from a group called “Semiconductor”, the frequency of the sun’s plasma and solar discharge seems etherial and other-worldly… but it is not. This is the sound of OUR sun, in all of its glory!.. get to know her.
“Brilliant Noise takes us into the data vaults of solar astronomy. After sifting through hundreds of thousands of computer files, made accessible via open access archives, Semiconductor have brought together some of the sun’s finest unseen moments. These images have been kept in their most raw form, revealing the energetic particles and solar wind as a rain of white noise.
This grainy black and white quality is routinely cleaned up by NASA, hiding the processes and mechanics in action behind the capturing procedure. Most of the imagery has been collected as single snapshots containing additional information, by satellites orbiting the Earth. They are then reorganised into their spectral groups to create time-lapse sequences. The soundtrack highlights the hidden forces at play upon the solar surface, by directly translating areas of intensity within the image brightness into layers of audio manipulation and radio frequencies.”

Even understanding the methodology does not detract one iota from how enjoyable these sounds are.
This is really incredible, both visually and, for me auditory. I prefer to listen rather than listen and watch and have run this trough several times.
Thanks you so much for posting and the additional information.
