AMPLE,
in the VOYAGER "golden record"!
In 1977 the Americans launched the space probe
Voyager I on a journey to outer space! By now it has
left our solar system, making it the very first man-made object to traverse interstellar space.
Besides state-of-the-art scientific equipment, NASA placed on board a golden record, aimed to introduce
planet Earth to any inquisitive aliens who might encounter the probe?! The record contains a variety of
scientific & cultural information about Earth & its inhabitants, some images & voices, and several dozen pieces
of music from around the world, which are supposed to represent a fair sampling of earthly artistic
achievement. The musical sample mixes in no obvious order classical pieces including the opening movement
of Beethoven's Fifth Symphony, contemporary popular music including Chuck Berry's 'Johnny B. Goode',
ànd traditional music including Chuck BERRY's 'Johnny B. Goode', ànd traditional music
from throughout the world, including an initiations song of
Congolise Pygmy girls! Though the records also contains
some canine howls, they are not part
of the music sample, but rather
relegated to a different section
that also includes the
sounds of wind,
rain &
surf.
