Soundcloud is a great way of organizing the sounds into a playlist, This could be both visual mode and spatial.

This could be linguistic when the author is explaining the description of the gold record, calling its material copper and what is laid out on top of the record which is gold.

The title and subtitle is an example of spatial mode, using the main title as the header and underlying it with a subtitle explaining the audio briefly.

This would primarily be spatial mode using substantive notes to lead one to discovering new information. Notes are often organized to a certain extent or as a whole to guide a individual to there answer or new speculations of what they are studying.

The Author gives us an excerpt of the perfected remastered audio what had come from sound engineers, He communicates to the audience us the readers how it sounds by using a source of media, Soundcloud this is a prime example of aural mode using music to communicate his statement.

NASA i presume by doing this had used both aural and spatial mode, Aural mode by communicating sound with nature sounds and greetings to extraterrestrials, and spatial mode by organizing which sounds are to be heard to create the possibility of getting a positive response from "extraterrestrials".

Records of the past are easily attainable in our present time, We're able to download lots of music which are considered artifacts, as in fragments of musics past just through media fire or torrents.

This is also aural It states that from using the tapes it was able to achieve putting a golden record onvinyl, this allows the listeners to be able to consume sounds of which are meant to be heard through vinyl, The audio was the primary source of which had lead to the possibility of it being heard making it Aural.

The subtitle identifies as Aural Mode solely because it references one of the elements of sound "audio" which comes from the "original tapes" which is an exterior way of using sound, Tapes can be an adequate way of using aural mode to convey a message towards an audience.

Everyone has their own unique way of communicating some prefer to communicate linguistically while others prefer aural. In "Forty Years Later, the Golden Record Goes Vinyl" they communicate through aural, visual, and linguistic.

In the "Forty Years Later, the Golden Record Goes Vinyl" in article in The Atlantic has an link attached to the article of the record and in the audio has male and female voices which is in several different languages and adds warm because the tone of the voice is welcoming. There is also a child's voice that adds a youthful touch.

In the article "Forty Years Later, the Golden Record Goes Vinyl" made me realize that physical arrangement is a key element in your presentation of conveyance. By the Gold Record being presented visually with a person holding it with white gloves shows the significance it has to the world.

In the article "Forty Years Later, the Golden Record Goes Vinyl" made me think of how times have changed from then until now. What an impact communication wise it has been on our society from social media platforms that have made it easily accessible to put your opinions out in world through the internet and memes, videos, and YouTube channels. I wonder how people will be communicating in forty years? telepathically? Makes me wonder in curiosity.

In the article "Forty Years Later, the Golden Record Goes Vinyl" two decades ago it was a lot more expensive to print or visual show images in color. In that era majority of Television shows, newspapers and pamphlets were in presented in black and white and not color. Times have changed in just two decades and you can't find anything thats not in color or color coated.

In the article "Forty Years Later, The Golden Record Goes Vinyl"made me think that how amazing our technology has evolved over two decades. Being that the record was created in the vinyl era and how technology has evolved and today we have the options of watching it visually and aural with a few options either on TV, computer, and or our smartphones. Even when artist release new songs or music videos we have the privilege to access it on our time and not wait until the radio plays the song or we just so happen to catch it on TV.

In the article is states"Forty years later, the Golden Record is now vinyl and can be ordered online for $98" this is straight to the point and wouldn't need an image to communicate that in a better or more effective way.

This is how David Pescovitz, Tim Daly and Lawrence Azerrad two decades later put the Voyager Golden Record on the forefront of the media and launched a website using the internet and had a soundcloud page for people to hear the unheard talent before their time.

For my supplemental text I chose "Forty Years later, The Golden Record Goes Vinyl" written by Marina Koren senior associate editor of The Atlantic. This article is interesting because it incorporates three (linguistic, visual, and aural) of the five multimodal modes that have been presented and defined as communication in "What are Multimodal Projects" essay which are linguistic, visual, aural, spatial, and gestural. In The Voyager Golden Record, which was not originally intended for human consumption but 40 years later was. The Golden Record is an audio creation of classical music snippets, nature sounds, and greetings in multiple languages. Koren in the article explains that the record was very limited that even Carl Sagan who led the records production was unable to get a one-keepsake copy. In 1978 Sagan wrote to NASA in regards to getting his hands on a copy and an administrator from NASA responded with a rejection message. The response from NASA was offensive and could have communicated better with the choice of words. Now fast-forward two decades later the Golden Record is now on vinyl and is for sale to the public online for $98. Using the original audio from 1970’s David Perscvitz co-produced he remembers as a little boy hearing of this Voyager launch. In a digital age now Tim Daly teamed up with graphic designer Lawrence Azerrad and they launched a Kickstarter campaign by using the Internet as a platform raised 1.3 million dollars. Shows how these professionals’ have made the unobtainable become obtainable by using the multimodal modes visual, linguistic, and aural.
