Moon Echo

German synthesizer wizard Hainbach spent the last two years developing a plugin based on the way that the physics of bouncing radio waves off the Moon can distort audio signals. It does crazy things to sound. The plugin even has a button which will update the processing with information from NASA about the exact current position and orientation of the Moon (it's libration, baby!)

Pauline Oliveros (of Deep Listening fame—and you should totally check out that rabbit hole, too) used the technique on a recording called "Echoes from the Moon" in 1987. Now you can too, and for free. Giant radio telescope not required.

You can download the plugin at https://www.audiothing.net/effects/moon-echo/

If you use it on a song, please select "Moon Echo" from the "weekly challenge" drop-down box (just underneath the "lyrics" text box) when you submit your song. Please also tag it with #moonecho so we can all enjoy the lunar audio goodness!
