Kill pride. I hurt feelin's.
Nah, really wasn't fuckin' with you since the beginning brah.
Buckamore Music.
Stellar Music Project
This is a project developed by the Konkoly Observatory of the Hungarian Academy of Science
The Music of the Spheres
"Stars, like our Sun, are huge gaseous spheres. As in all material, in stellar interiors acoustic waves can propagate. For a well-defined group of stars there exists a self-excitation mechanism which is capable of generating steady standing waves inside the distant suns. These waves are analogous to the waves inside organ pipes or other wind instruments. These stars are called (pulsating) variable stars. However, there is no dense-enough interstellar matter in which the stellar sounds could travel to Earth, i.e. there is no way to “hear” these stellar waves directly by observation. However, the brightnesses of these heavenly bodies are modulated by the oscillations. Variable stars expand and contract in the course of wave motion. When the sphere contracts its temperature increases and the brightness rises, and when the star expands its light intensity decreases again. This makes it possible for earthlings to observe the acoustic waves of stars by measuring or estimating the light variation of heavenly bodies. The period of stellar oscillations extends from minutes to years, e.g. the range of frequencies is about 20 octaves wide compared to the 10 octave range of the audible sounds. Furthermore, even the highest pitch of the stars is approximately 15 octaves lower than Middle A! This makes it necessary to transpose the wide range of stellar pulsations to make them audible. The sounds of stars when transposed to perceptible frequencies, however, provide an interesting ensemble of stellar (musical) instruments.
The 20-octaves-wide register of stellar oscillations is valid only for the whole ensemble of stars (the whole orchestra). Individual stellar instruments have only narrow range of voice (usually a couple of octaves or even less). A star vibrates naturally only for a very short period of time compared to its lifetime (of course that is long compared to human time scales). The pitch of stellar pulsations basically depends on the size of the star (as for real musical instruments), but also on the density of its matter. The life of a star is determined by its birth mass, giving a variety of stellar destiny. During stellar evolution the stars expand and contract very slowly, providing very slow changes in their acoustic spectra. Interestingly, not only the periods of pulsations vary, but also the pitch ratios in the overtone spectrum shift.
Contrary to most real musical instruments, stellar acoustic spectra do not consist of harmonic pitches. The partial tones of stellar instruments are not in integer frequency relation with the fundamental oscillation, i.e. the overtones are not harmonics. This gives a significant difference compared to organ pipes or most of the classical musical intruments.
Our goal is to use these stellar instruments in a virtual orchestra to compose and play music. It is also the purpose of this project to provide "sounding" demonstartations to astrophysicists helping them in public outreach. "
Their site is amazing, lotz os intersting things, including download of the virtual orchestra they created with stellar instruments.

jaaaaaaam.
Third time. A must.
