   word. On Facebook, Brian Eno described the pair's musical partnership   
   as [quote] "exploring an intimate and unfamiliar new sonic world"   
   [endquote]. So what better venue for it than some far-away sonic world?   
   The pair beamed the album into space via microwave transmission five   
   days after its release. At the helm of Liminal's liftoff was Nobel   
   Prize-winning physicist Robert Wilson operating the Holmdel Horn   
   Antenna in New Jersey which had played a role in helping prove the Big   
   Bang Theory.   
      
   The microwave horn antenna, as it turns out, is a well-tuned instrument   
   of music as well as science. For Beatie Wolfe, this was actually its   
   encore performance. Robert Wilson helped broadcast a previous album of   
   hers in 2017, a work known as "Raw Space."   
      
   Music, the universal language, is now the universe's language. Even   
   NASA has got into the act. In 2008 the space agency marked its 50th   
   anniversary by sending a recording of the Beatles' "Across the   
   Universe" into deep space. Last year its Deep Space Station 13 radio   
   dish antenna in California beamed the first hip-hop song into space,   
   Missy Elliott's "The Rain (Supa Dupa Fly)."   
      
   This past May, the European Space Agency broadcast a Vienna Symphony   
   Orchestra performance of Johann Strauss' "Blue Danube Waltz" from its   
   radio antenna in Spain at the speed of light in the direction of the   
   Voyager 1 probe.   
      
   This is the never-ending journey of music. It is now surrounded by   
   constellations and CubeSats, dancing with the stars.
