In 2016, works by Roland Kuit launched into space aboard NASA’s OSIRIS-REx mission. Twelve pieces focused on sound research using the Kyma system. The first Dutch compositions in space consist of sound research on microsound. This is fitting, as the OSIRIS-REx mission aimed to collect the building blocks of life (carbon from the time of the Big Bang) on the asteroide, these building blocks have been gathered and will be returned to Earth in 2023, to be distributed to various institutes aroun Bennu. Meanwhild the world for research.
