NASA collection of samples: use in remixing and “found sound” creative projects

NASA has made a huge collection of audio recordings available under a Creative Commons licence and they are perfect for using in music tech projects with students. The recordings are from historic space flights and from current missions.

I LOVE this collection of sound effects, ambient recordings, astronaut dialogue and speeches from NASA.  Not only is it fascinating to hear real-life sounds recorded in outer-space, the collection includes the original iconic sound-bites from astronauts and staff working in the control center like “Houston, we have a problem”, “That’s one small step…” and the Apollo 11 launch countdown.

You can listen to the sounds and dialogue samples here on Soundcloud.

The NASA sounds collection…includes the following:

• “Houston we have a problem”
• “One small step”
• Apollo 11 countdown
• “The eagle has landed”
• “Roger roll”
• The John F Kennedy speech – “We choose the moon”
• Launch sound effect
• Kepler star sound effect
• Sputnik beep
• Spooky Saturn sound effect
• Quindar tone sound effect
