Moons In The Saturn Sky

from Cassini: A Musical Tribute by Jesse James Allen

/

about

The Mission:

Saturn has around 82 moons, many of which have some extraordinary features. During the Cassini mission, the spacecraft was able to discover new moons such as Aegaeon, Pallene, and Methone. As well as a fascinating insight into moons we knew little about such as Mimas, a moon that was nearly shattered by an asteroid that now resembles the Death Star from Star Wars or the thinly oxygen vailed moon of Rhea. There was also a massive ridge on Iapetus towering 8 miles above the surface.

Much of the focus however was on Titan since Cassini could see through its atmosphere, we discovered lakes, valleys, and a subsurface ocean. Enceladus was a close second with its active geysers and interesting surface features.

The Music:

Built upon arpeggiated patterns and minimal rhythms using NI Reaktor, Moons in the Saturn Sky has a catchy and lighthearted feel.  The track then transforms into a more cinematic style that is reflecting the journey and evolution of discovery, both in the terms of the Cassini mission across many years studying Saturn’s moons, and personally, in my journey going from electronic music fan to composer.

Notable sounds from NI Reaktor Kontor, Equinox Deluxe, UVI Falcon Divinity, Arturia CS-80
