Music For Alien Civilizations is a project in collaboration with the Swedish Space Corporation and Space Port Esrange in the very north of Sweden. Specially composed music was sent out in space from Esrange’s 13 meter antenna, as a business card from humanity. 12 artists were given the challenge to compose music for non-human ears – or whatever sensory organs possible non terrestial civilisations might have. Now that we have decided to actually send as message, what should we send? Images, language, code? Or maybe the content of the internet? Music seems like a good idea as it’s unique for us humans on earth, maybe it’s a common thing for all technologically advanced civilizations throughout the Universe. Maybe it’s what once made us human.
