79 Moons Vol. 6

Artist: Magnus Lassila
Release Year: 2022

Description: “79 Moons” is a longform ambient series created as a sonic tribute to the Voyager mission, commemorating its 45th anniversary and the vast, silent beauty of its journey through our solar system.
Each volume in the collection is centered around one of Jupiter’s 79 known moons — their orbital characteristics, mass, rotation, eccentricity, or symbolic meaning helped shape the musical decisions within each track. Whether influencing tempo, duration, or modular behavior, the data of the moons became part of the instrumentation.
The pieces were composed and recorded over the course of 1.5 years, using modular synthesis, generative sequencing, and careful layering to create immersive, evolving soundscapes. Every track is a unique world — sometimes frozen and distant, sometimes chaotic and turbulent, always orbiting a shared gravitational center.
Rather than aiming for direct narrative, 79 Moons invites the listener to drift through space — slow, vast, reflective — just like Voyager continues to do, far beyond the grasp of gravity, yet still echoing back to Earth.
