Brilliant Noise by Semiconductor: Ruth Jarman and Joe Gerhardt
Avaliable on DVD! with 12 alternate soundtracks semiconductorfilms.com/WorldsInFluxDVD.html
Brilliant Noise takes us into the data vaults of solar astronomy. After sifting through hundreds of thousands of computer files, made accessible via open access archives, Semiconductor have brought together some of the sun's finest unseen moments. These images have been kept in their most raw form, revealing the energetic particles and solar wind as a rain of white noise. This grainy black and white quality is routinely cleaned up by NASA, hiding the processes and mechanics in action behind the capturing procedure. Most of the imagery has been collected as single snapshots containing additional information, by satellites orbiting the Earth. They are then reorganised into their spectral groups to create time-lapse sequences. The soundtrack highlights the hidden forces at play upon the solar surface, by directly translating areas of intensity within the image brightness into layers of audio manipulation and radio frequencies.
Lots more info here:

...this version suffers a bit from the internet compression. The original version is much better.

I'd be happy to see more scientific experimental vids like Brilliant Noise!
I would like to buy one right away.

Thanks
It does fill one ancient basic desire - to look straight into the Sun. Not a quick, fleeting glance, but a hard, inquisitive look.

i always had fobia of the sun , just looking at those flares prduce me mareo :D but i watched the whole thing
that's why this is so fantastic ...
Enhorabuena.
