Bloom and Fill: Enceladus Script (draft 1)

"Welcome to Astrophonica, My Name is Anna Brooks, and today we’re on Enceladus."

{The voice pitches down, the volume drops, and air is being sucked from the room, the voice struggles to be heard}

{a muffled voice} It is too deep for you to hear, here.

{A clear, intimate voice} You’re suspended, knee-deep in a cloud of snow on a soundless world. Hundreds of feet of seemingly empty space beneath you make it feel as though you were floating on a dry ocean. It has been snowing for thousands of years. But where you are, you can’t see it fall. The snow here is so fine that it feels like a heavy white mist, never really falling, only obscuring your vision of those monumental ice-blocks buoyantly scattered across the blinding white backdrop. There isn’t very much gravity keeping them packed to the ground.

The temperature is -200 degrees Celsius, and what sounds you hear are pitched low and rumbling, directionally shaking. You might crane your head just before you saw the guyser erupt, and as the atmosphere thickened, the free path shortening, the sound around you…

Would bloom. {Sounds: sonic boom followed by atmospheric snow sounds, pitched correctly}

{Sounds: piano swells, wind sweeps and bows, distant glaciers roll over the powdery snow}
