Sound created from using the rings of Saturn as a spectral source to a series of filters. When a 1 pixel high image of the rings is extracted it looks like a spectrogram (original: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Saturn%27s_rings_dark_side_mosaic.jpg).
The Saturn spectrogram was directly translated into sound by dividing it to three color planes, which each consisted of a filter unit of 340 resonant filters. The x-axis of the spectrogram indicated frequency, while the light intensity indicated amplitude.
The resonant filter units were driven with ludicrously high resonance value of one million for accurate reproduction. A spectrogram created from the sound resembles the original at very high confidence.
This is how Saturn rings would sound if they were directly translated into sound as a spectrogram. The stereo image consists of 340 steps, where each filter unit provides it's frequency. It's expected that it's tilted left when listening, because major part of the high frequencies are inaudible for casual listener.
