Check also my animations for hundreds other videos and films. These files can be read using WinAmp, RealOne, Windows Multimedia Player, etc. You can also use an oscilloscope or easier, a spectrographic program to view the audio like the excellent DL4YHF's freeware Spectrum Laboratory, as well as Spectran, Spectrogram or Raven to name a few. To edit or convert your audio files, a good and very cheap program is AVS Audio Utilities also available free for demonstration. Make your choice:

You will feel how much the sound of some natural phenomena can be intoxicating, bewitching, amazing, astounding, to make tremble... There is no word to qualify these exciting sounds that have already inspired some composers who wrote me to get more detail as they wished to create acoustic arrangements from similar recordings. How much I understand them ! Indeed, some "soundtracks" are so amazing that they 'd make green New Age composers like Pink Floyd, Jean-Michel Jarre or Klaus Schultz and producers of S-F film like Matrix or Star Trek... But it's all natural ! Some have already took advantage of these natural sounds like Fiorella Terenzi and Isao Tomita to name two famous composers. For the fun, run these sounds with the Real Player "nebula" visualization (or Windows Media Player "Windmill" vizualisation) like the one displayed below, and appreciate the more complex of them... Here is a "spectrographic" dumpscreen while listening to solar bursts...
Some institutions, professionals, composers, and amateurs provide also audio recordings or performances on CDs dedicated to astronomical events. Their references are listed in the previous pages. Add also : - NASA released 4 CDs titled Symphonies of the Planets (it's the 4th), including recordings made by Voyager space probes during their interplanetary journeys through the outer solar system - Stephen P. McGreevy's CD "Auroral Chorus I to III" - Dr Fiorella Terenzi's CD "Music From The Galaxies" - Tomita's CD "Dawn Chorus" (or on Amazon.fr) - Peter Messmer's CD "Songs of a distant Sun" - Kronos Quartet (performance) - Stephen Gard (compositions from "Radiosonics") - ArtistServer (various composers) - Radio Astronomy Supply (RAS) provided an audio tape titled "Sounds of the Cosmos" (jupiter noise storms, pulsars and solar noise storms). This tape is no more available but today RAS provide those sounds on educational CDs on their website. - You will find additional royalty free sounds files related to natural phenomena and sounds of our time on Partners In Rhyme website to name one among many others. If you are interested in these musics, don't wait any longer and buy them today because in a few years they risk to be "out of stock" and never more available. This seems already happening to some of them... Remain multimedia libraries. Thus, do never postpone to tomorrow what you can purchase now ! Any addition to this list is welcome, preferably reference of authors or acoustic performances based on real astronomical recordings. Have fun !
