Q
AMPLE,
in the VOYAGER "golden record"!
In 1977 the Americans launched the space probe
 Voyager I on a journey to outer space! By now it has 
left our solar system, making it the very first man-made object to traverse interstellar space.
Besides state-of-the-art scientific equipment, NASA placed on board a golden record, aimed to introduce 
planet Earth to any inquisitive aliens who might encounter the probe?! The record contains a variety of 
scientific & cultural information about Earth & its inhabitants, some images & voices, and several dozen pieces
of music from around the world, which are supposed to represent a fair sampling of earthly artistic 
achievement. The musical sample mixes in no obvious order classical pieces including the opening movement 
of Beethoven's Fifth Symphony, contemporary popular music including Chuck Berry's 'Johnny B. Goode', 
ànd traditional music including Chuck BERRY's 'Johnny B. Goode', ànd traditional music 
from throughout the world, including an initiations song of 
Congolise Pygmy girls! Though the records also contains 
some canine howls, they are not part 
of the music sample, but rather
relegated to a different section 
that also includes the 
sounds of wind, 
rain & 
surf.
