This Thursday (June 9) on SoundScape, we will celebrate the message of diversity, coming to a solar system near you!
In 1977, two Voyager satellites were launched, and after their short-term goal of doing fly-by's of some our neighbouring planets, they were unleashed onto the wider universe with messages for any inquisitive aliens out there.
Each Voyager satellite has a 'gold record' on board. And on each record was a sampling of music from a variety of cultures around the world.
We will have time to listen to quite a few of these tracks, which were chosen by a panel led by Carl Sagan.
The Goon Show this week will be 'The Sleeping Prince'.
Tune in from 9 pm on Thursday to Yarra Valley FM 99.1 or get it streamed live from the website.
Take a moment also to have your say on our Poll of Classical and Ambient music (just up there on the right...)
