Jazz song uses Saturn sounds

Jazz musician and composer Jeff Oster has incorporated the eerie sounds of Saturn's auroras into a jazz piece called "Saturn Calling", which won a 2008 Independent Music Award in the New Age category.

Oster, a space enthusiast, got the idea for the song while listening to the ethereal sounds of Saturn's auroras. You can listen to the piece here, and check out sound files made from Cassini spacecraft measurements of things like magnetic fields and radio waves in Saturn's environment.

The sounds of Saturn's auroras help set an imaginative, other-worldly tone for the piece, and I think "Saturn Calling" makes a great soundtrack for viewing some of the astonishing images that Cassini has taken.
