about

"One year and three trips around the Sun later, NASA's Parker Solar Probe heard some weird, sci-fi sounds from plasma within the solar wind -- and those sounds may answer unanswered questions about how the wind forms"

A majestic 7 minute track by McDEAD inspired by the very small and the very big scale of the scientific adventure...

Small is defined by the Time of Flight Secondary Ion Mass Spectrometry machine at Imperial College - London used for detecting molecular ions... which McDEAD used for archaeology. He found out it was also used for Space Rock... which planted the seed of a song

This track then experiments with a variety of sounds and instruments blended with the crackles and hissing of Solar Winds, which John Hopkins Uni recorded by processing the Whistler Mode Waves signals obtained from the Parker solar probe launched in 2018

The science is further mangled up around an extended rearranging and remix of McDEAD's Pink Zeppelin.

Epic!
