The project has been presented many times in scientific institutions and at music festivals, in the form of audio-visual concerts, also in the version extended with astronomy lectures, workshops and sky observations.It is a unique initiative in Poland, which uses the original space recordings, including from a 32-metre fully steerable single-dish radio telescope located at the Institute of Astronomy of the Nicolaus Copernicus Universityin Toruń.\nElectronic music and radio astronomy are inventions from the first half of the 20th century. From the very beginning, both areas were permanently associated with technical progress and new technologies that determined their development. The album 'DE REVOLUTIONIBUS MMXXIII' was composed and recorded in the year of the 550th anniversary of the birth of Nicolaus Copernicus, born in Toruń in 1473, one of the most eminent astronomers in the history of mankind. Copernicus' work made a breakthrough and sparked one of the most important scientific revolutions since antiquity, called the Copernican Revolution. In its sound and musical dimension, we refer to the Copernican revolution and its impact not only on the development of astronomy and modern science, but also on social transformations and philosophy - a breakthrough in thinking about the place of man in the Universe. \n\nDub producer Piotr Żuralski from the band Kompozyt took part in the recording of the album.\nPiotr Żuralski: modular synthesis of astronomical data\nRafał Iwański: analog and digital synthesizers, sampling pad, drum machines, metal objects, fx\nWojciech Zięba: analog and digital synthesizers, fx\n\nComposed in 2023 by Rafał Iwański and Wojciech Zięba\nMixed by Rafał Iwański\n\nMastering: Szymon Szwarc | szszwarc.pl\/ \nAstronomical consultation: Sebastian Soberski | planetarium.grudziadz.pl \n\nArtwork and layout: Wojciech Zięba\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Gusstaff Records","offers":[{"title":"CD","offer_id":50399011078475,"sku":"2173704","price":14.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/test_5f489df0_thumbnail_4096.jpg?v=1726500618"},{"product_id":"iv-2","title":"IV","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis CD album \u003ci\u003eIV\u003c\/i\u003e contains music material of the project Voices Of The Cosmos from two vinyl records: LP \u003ci\u003eInterstellar Space\u003c\/i\u003e and limited 10\"EP \u003ci\u003eSolar Sequences\u003c\/i\u003e.
