1. Frank Ocean – Nights (Music)

“Nights” by Frank Ocean is a musical creation from the genre of R&B that goes from a melodic up beat to a state of chaos. Out of the relentlessness of distorting guitars, it blossoms into an emotional and uplifting nocturnal beat. 

        2. Debussy – Clair de Lune (Music)

Claude Debussy’s Classical musical composition “Clair De Lune” , French for moonlight consists of continuous rhythmic patterns and homophonic texture that helps give off a scintillating characteristic to the musical piece.

        3. Nature (Sound)

The natural world and the sounds that make up its identity. These sounds consist of birds singing, rain colliding with the ground, wind bending the forest, and waves crashing etc.  

These three selections consisting of two music pieces and one sound piece should be included on the Golden Record Project. This is because both pieces of music reflect different times in our musical history, the Classical period and the more modern genre of R&B. The third piece, nature should be included because it is the finest example of raw sound from our world.
