Jan 20, 2014 Youth Lagoon By Mike Hilleary

Portland-based label Lefse is readying a compilation entitled The Space Project, which sees various artists using field recordings taken from space and incorporating them in their material. Included on the 14-song collection is singer/songwriter Trevor Powers, a.k.a. Youth Lagoon, and his brand new track “Worms.” “Although there’s no real sound in the vacuum of space, it’s possible to translate the electromagnetic radiation fluctuations and charged particles of these celestial bodies into conventional sound,” writes Powers. “So now that you’re no better of a person at all for knowing that, a collection of artists have come together to take audio recordings of planets that were gathered by the Voyager 1 & 2 space probes and manipulate these frequencies in music. This is my piece.” Click below to listen.
