Tim Bedding wrote:When a star pulsates, it does so in many modes simultaneously, each with a slightly different frequency. The periods of the pulsations are typically many minutes, but speeding them up by a factor of 300,000 in these computer simulations brings the pulsations into the audible range.

Each recording lasts for 8 seconds, which corresponds to about 30 days of real time.

Site has 3 downloadable samples to listen to. Very cool.

Awesome. Now those are the samples I want.

I don't think I'll use the samples for anything, but I'm pretty intrigued by all idea like this. Turning an 8-day oscillation into audio; I understand things better through my ears.

I wish I could harness the realtime oscillation of the stars and use them as CV for a modular

The audio samples will come to great use in my V-Synth or some striped wavetable beast.

That red pulsing blob above actually makes me feel slightly ill!
