Space has an 'animalistic' sound according to artist in residence



A new project led by a Leverhulme Artist in Residence at the University of Leicester, has revealed the ‘animalistic’ sounds in the dark, cold vacuum of space and the boiling mass of the sun.

We often think of the vast outer space as being as quiet as it is empty, but it does in fact, have the capacity to be as noisy as anywhere on Earth. It also sounds surprisingly Earth-like according to new recordings generated by multimedia composer and Leverhulme Artist in Residence at the University’s Space Centre, Andrew Williams.
