"In particular, NASA has commissioned a work for string quartet based upon the sounds of space collected on various
spacecraft over the last 35 years by internationally known researcher Donald Gurnett. Plans call for the piece to be
written by renowned minimalist composer Terry Riley of California and premiered by the world famous Kronos Quartet
at the University of Iowa in the fall of 2002."
