A musical representation of the eight planets of our solar system: that’s an ambitious and daunting project. It isn’t pulled off frequently, but when it happens, there’s two classic archetypes to measure them against.
There’s Gustav Holst, who painted the planets from his imagination and their role in folklore and tradition. Then, there’s the NASA Voyager Recordings, a scientific but not less poetic picture of the spheres.
Sferi’s Sound of the Spheres, released in three parts, is an amalgam of both, sometimes drawing inspiration from the space radiation itself, sometimes from the more traditional, anthropomorphic representation of the spheres. And plenty of times it’s a carefully crafted bit of both.
