I'm wondering how it would sound if a human choir were replaced by a choir created from pulsar recordings captured by radio telescopes.

I love Sviridov's haunting choral piece "Reveille" (check YT if you want to hear it). Am I the only one who wants to hear the pulsar-version? (If enough people do, I might actually try to make it happen.)

G. Sviridov’s choral work “Reveille,” using radio signals (pulsar) instead of human voices

It’s still a work in progress, but I wonder who would actually want to hear it in the end, especially if you actually come from a classical background. Doing serious stuff...

I know myself, musically it’s probably nonsense, but I like doing experiments of this odd nature from time to time. Mainly to find out whether “dead” gear and sounds from celestial bodies can transport musically induced emotions to a similar degree as a real, organic interpretation, and whether it will still give you goosebumps or rather end up as a facepalm orchestra instead.

In this case, I will use signals from pulsars (PSR B2020+28 / PSR B1937+21 / PSR B0531+21) recorded by radio telescopes. The choir will consist of 100 tuned voices (original structure: SS TT B), plus some additional background radio signals from interstellar space and magnetic fields within our solar system.

So, is it worth continuing to edit this?
