Electronic music artists and enthusiasts tend to have a fascination with showcasing the darkest elements in the universe. We’ve seen everything from Vantablack-covered stage setups to beats made from NASA X-rays to… music generated from a black hole? You may be thinking to yourself, “How does one create music from space where there is no sound?” Well, that little limitation wasn’t going to stop Belgian mathematician Valery Vermeulen, who thought outside the box to create a three-track project called Mikromedas SrgA+. Vermeulen leveraged data gathered by Voyager Satellite, a space probe located over 14 billion miles away, to synthesize electromagnetic radiation waves being emitted from black holes and turn them into musical composition...
