Can a comet be an oscillator? This hands-on video shows how.

Oscillations in the magnetic field of Comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko were translated into a sonification by composer Manuel Senfft. Now, composer Francesco Novara has built an entire EP from that sound, in his new release Astron for Establishment.

He walks us through the process of just how he designed the record's exquisite grooves and melodies.
