Saturn and Pluto sound exactly like their reputation suggests!
There was a Italian electronic musician lady composer who did something like that in the '90s - converting interstellar radiation or pulses from distant stars and galaxies - but the end result sounded like trance!
Some of those planetary sounds are vaguely familiar to me, and I've got a strong suspicion that they were used by Chrome on Alien Soundtracks and Half-Machine Lip Moves. Hmmmm.......
