Eerie Otherworldly Music Emanating From Jupiter

Being a big fan of dark ambient music, like that of Steve Roach and Robert Rich, I am fascinated by these eerie, otherworldly sounds that emanate from Jupiter. NASA used special instruments on board the Voyager spacecraft to record these electromagnetic interactions between the Solar Wind and the magnetosphere of Jupiter, which creates "soundscapes" of frequencies, rippling through the plasma energy "ocean" that fills the void of space. They have made similar recordings with several of the outer planets, but Jupiter, by far, sounds the best, in my opinion. Enjoy!
