niktemadur writes "The BBC reports that a French team of
stellar seismologists, using the
COROT (COnvection ROtation and planetary Transits) Space Telescope, have converted stellar oscillations into sound patterns, a relatively new technique that, according to Professor Eric Michel of the Paris Observatory, is already giving researchers new insight into the inner workings of stars. The subtly pulsating, haunting sounds are very similar to artist Aphex Twin's minimalistic nineties album "Selected Ambient Works, Vol. 2", only stripping away what little melody it had and leaving just the beat.
These and many more recordings from space can be accessed at the Jodrell Bank Centre (or Center if you prefer) for Astrophysics website, also known as the Jodcast." Link to Original Source
