Project Calliope is a nice project that I wanted to advertise here. Sandy, a friend, is working for both the future of science and art: he is building a satellite in his basement that is intended to record the sound of space once in orbit. Yeah well, I see you coming, you're thinking I smoked the carpet again or that guy is just one more crazy geek that's hopping to enter in communication with the little green men. Nah my friend, this is absolutely serious. This is actually a micro satellite that will be launched by InterOrbital Systems (IOS) a California based company.

Anyway, what's the concept of that future space junk ? As they describe it in the Project Calliope site, "It's a musical instrument in space, played by space rather than just after-the-fact sonified." Awesome no :) ? Ok, if you need more details on how it is done you can actually follow the progress of the project on Sandy's blog.

Well, I really look forward to hear that and I'm sure that will inspire us some new cool songs, with the true sound of space !
