The organization Music Monday arranges for a simultaneous music celebration across Canada on the first Monday of May. This year they arranged for everyone to sing the “I.S.S.” song along with a Canadian astronaut in space:
Aboard the International Space Station, Expedition 35 Commander and musician Chris Hadfield picked up his Larrivée guitar and joined a national Canadian music celebration called “Music Monday”. This year, Hadfield was chosen to play the song “I.S.S.” co-written with Ed Robertson, the lead singer from the group “Barenaked Ladies.”The song is expected to be included on an album Hadfield recorded on orbit in his spare time.
Here is the debut of the song “I.S.S.” back in February with Chris Hadfield on the station and the Barenaked Ladies plus a children’s choir on earth:
Famous technology investor and rocket enthusiast Steve Jurvetson recently attended a “7 conference” and recorded the live performance of the astronaut band “Bandella”:
They describe Bandella as an unlikely band of NASA astronauts with Chris Hadfield currently in space (guitars, vocals, first Canadian Commander of the ISS), Micki Pettit (lead vocals, wife of Don Petit, the first to enter the SpaceX Dragon capsule in space), Cady Coleman (flute, 180 days in space so far) and other stars who drift into nearer-earth orbit.
This included radio sounds created by the Aurora. For more about such “natural radio music”, see the HobbySpace Natural Space Radio and Natural Space Music sections, which include links to Stephen McGreevy (mentioned in the article) and others involved in such activities.
