Sounds from Space

I was watching the video of the Atlantis Shuttle Launch last week on youtube which shows all the different camera angles as it launches. Some parts look really amazing especially that parts where you can see the whole earth coming into view, but i thought the sounds from the SRB intertanks sounded even amazinger.

I figured they would sound pretty neat together so i took the audio from the left SRB intertank and panned it to the left audio channel and panned the right SRB to the right channel and this is what it sounds like: (sounds best with headphones on!)

As somebody on youtube mentioned, they sound like “robotic space whales calling out to each other”, which is a fairly accurate description of what it sounds like!

I think John Cage would have liked it
