Lefse Records<\/a>\u00a0will release the album\u00a0Space Project\u00a0<\/a>\u00a0on April 18th. It is a collection of songs by 14 different artists who were challenged to use sounds transmitted from the Voyager spacecraft<\/a> \u00a0as inspiration for their songs:<\/p>\n

Last Thanksgiving, Matt Halverson, who runs the Portland-based label Lefse Records, was talking with his brother in law, Exogenesis President and Chief Scientist Sean Anklam, who described a trove of recordings the NASA-launched Voyager space probes had made in the outer solar system. Halverson, the Walter White to Anklam\u2019s Hank Schrader, was overtaken by an idea: to commission imaginative artists to create songs and soundscapes out of the Voyager recordings. The interest among musicians\u2014including ,\u00a0Spiritualized,\u00a0Beach House,\u00a0The Antlers,\u00a0Mutual Benefit,\u00a0Blues Control\u00a0and others\u2014was overwhelming. Lefse will release the resulting album, entitled Space Project, on\u00a0April 19, Record Store Day. It will be available on vinyl, CD, and as a 7\u201d box set.<\/em><\/p>\n

The audio tracks that form the raw material for Space Project were recorded by the Voyager 1 and Voyager 2 space probes that NASA launched in 1977 and still uses to study the outer solar system. The satellites carry numerous instruments fine-tuned to record in different portions of the electromagnetic spectrum.\u00a0The \u201csounds\u201d recorded by the Voyager probes aren\u2019t sounds in the conventional sense; rather, they are electromagnetic radiation fluctuations in the magnetosphere of the planets, moons and large asteroids the Voyager probes\u00a0traveled\u00a0near. Each celestial body is composed of different elements, has its own size and mass, and therefore sounds unique.<\/em><\/p>\n
