The Music will reach Titan on January 14 2005 after a 7 year and 4 Billion Kilometer Journey. Never will human signs have traveled and landed so far. "Music2Titan reflects a wish to highlight mankind's existence in the universe through music and to familiarize people with the spatial exodus and possible existence of extra-terrestrial life," said Julien Civange, producer, musician and initiator of Music2Titan. "It also serves as a way to offer people hope for the future and to make music travel beyond normal boundaries." The four pieces of music each correspond to a stage of the mission. Lalala: built around 3 base rock chords, this song corresponds to before the beginning of the mission, the making of the space probe in an atmosphere that is both naïve and serious at the same time. The men and women of the Space Agency in lab coats and overalls, like “Playmobils”, busy building Huygens in giant hangars. Bald James Dean: this song is dramatically tense, evoking the separation of the space probes Cassini and Huygens, which will take place at Christmas before the descent of Huygens towards Titan where it will arrive on 14th January 2005. Hot Time: this piece is more space-like but also urban which corresponds to the exploration of Titan’s sun. No Love: this corresponds to the end of the mission, a calm after so many years of work. It is also slightly melancholy which raises the questions linked to the conquest and the exodus of space: “What will we export there? Our dustbins, our fast-food, our knowledge, Wall Street, Che Guevara, the Mona Lisa, Bart Simpson…?” The four pieces of music will be available over the Internet, to the public on the 21st December.
