I also spent pretty much all my free time and spare cash on used synthesizers as a kid trying to paint a picture so vividly.
I spent hours listening to their music and imagining the worlds they brought to life with the synthesizer. They inspired much of my career as a sound designer and video game composer.
Jean-Michel Jarre, Wendy Carlos, Vangelis, Michael Stearns, and Rick Wakeman were my heroes from age 12 onward. The text, music, and images were formally submitted and reviewed to ensure adherence to all legal guidelines. This album is very much an independent passion project and a tribute to this historic journey of discovery. This project is not endorsed or affiliated with any of the space agencies involved with the Cassini-Huygens mission in any way. I highly recommend you view the images from that mission online as you listen to this musical tribute, many are available on the Nasa, JPL, ASI, and ESA websites. It is that sense of awe and mystery that inspired me to compose this album as a tribute to one of mankind’s greatest moments of exploration. It made 294 orbits of Saturn and 162 flybys of Saturn’s moons.ĭiscoveries made by Cassini and Huygens are more awe-inspiring than any science fiction story. It captured 453,048 images along with 635GB of scientific data. The mission manifested from the minds of over 260 scientists from 27 nations.Ĭassini traveled more than 4.9 billion miles across 20 years to and around Saturn and its many moons. I have been a lifelong fan of space exploration and no other mission has inspired my imagination more than the 1997 Cassini-Huygens mission to Saturn and its moons.
