In what appears to be an unprecedented, non–cat sounds based remix project, a new release known as Star Wars Headspace is on its way out, featuring music created out of the sounds—but not the score—of the Star Wars universe. Rick Rubin, who is also attached as as a producer on Kanye West’s Waves (or whatever the hell Ye ends up naming it), is the executive producer, and has contributed music of his own alongside acts such as Flying Lotus, Baauer, Bonobo, and Shlohmo.
This is just the latest in the stampede of new Star Wars–related products and events that have surrounded Episode VII: The Force Awakens, though it’s safe to say that this is the most untraditional tie-in product. If you’re wondering what the music actually sounds like, four of the tracks (and a FlyLo interview) have just been shared by Zane Lowe on his Apple Music radio show, which you can listen to below.
