Winter At Jupiter

from Cassini: A Musical Tribute by Jesse James Allen

about

The Mission:

December 2000: Cassini takes part in the Jupiter Millennium mission with the Galileo spacecraft before receiving the much-needed boost to the Saturn system.

The two spacecraft studied the solar winds, magnetosphere, atmosphere, and moons around Jupiter. It was the first time two spacecraft were synchronized for such an effort and introduced new methods for planetary exploration.

The Music:

It is difficult to represent Jupiter’s awesome sense of scale and power with sound. I decided to make heavy use of pitch undulations to represent the power of Jupiter’s gravity on the small spacecraft. The brass sound was the NI Absynth 5 at its best, creating a familiar but unsettling texture.

The menacing tones and gothic choir represent the danger and mystery of this mighty world.

The dual synth solo at the end represents the Cassini and Galileo spacecraft on their journey of discovery. The lead is intentionally over the top in 80’s synth soundtrack fashion. The sounds were created with a Korg Wavestation.

Notable sounds from Native Instruments Absynth 5, Korg Wavestation, UVI Falcon, and Sound Iron Olympus Choir.
