HARMONIÜM – OPTIKON
Theoretically, a sonic vessel travelling to other celestial bodies such as the 55 Cancri b, could carry with them waves or other auditive artefacts ubiquitous on Earth, thus raising the possibility that we can seed music on other planetary bodies.
This is a concern among researchers who try to prevent Earth contamination from distorting data, especially in regards to finding possible extraterrestrial music.
Even the best sterilization techniques cannot guarantee that potentially invasive rhythmic or tonal materials will not be unintentionally carried along. The harsh environments encountered throughout the rest of the solar system so far do not seem to support complex terrestrial sound design.
However, material exchange in form of meteor impacts has existed and will exist in the solar system even without human intervention.
