Thank you for buying / looking at this little build which I hope will enhance your Second Life experience.
This little build is made of 10 prims including the sphere that makes the whole thing rotate. Simply place on your land, position so the rotation is satisfactory and click the body of the satellite to start it playing the tune. As this uses sound clips of 10 second duration, sometimes the tune will jump for the first play through. This is usual and sould be resolved by the second or third play through depending on the script times on the sim you are using it on
Again, thank you for showing an interests and I hope you have a great SLife,
Aragon Sommer
A bit about the music:
"Telstar" is a 1962 instrumental record performed by The Tornados. It was the first single by a British band to reach number one on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100, and was also a number one hit in the UK. The record was named after the AT&T communications satellite Telstar, which went into orbit in July 1962. The song was released five weeks later on 17 August 1962. It was written and produced by Joe Meek, and featured a clavioline, a keyboard instrument with a distinctive electronic sound. "Telstar" won an Ivor Novello Award and is estimated to have sold at least five million copies worldwide.
This novelty record was intended to evoke the dawn of the space age, complete with sound effects that were meant to sound "space-like". A popular story at the time of the record's release was that the weird distortions and background noise came from sending the signal up to the Telstar satellite and re-recording it back on Earth. It is more likely that the effects were created in Meek's recording studio, which was a small flat above a shop in Holloway
Road, north London.
