The title of this is misleading.

Mickey Hart (Grateful Dead drummer) composed a number of pieces using "sounds from space" including pulsars and EM transpositions. It's pretty cool, actually.

...

records " electromagnetic vibrations" ?

So,

Light?

Not sure why it makes sense to deem this "recording sound".

producing sound based off a recording, or interpreting a recording as sound, sure.

But recording sound?

"Sound" in the sense that the wavelengths are comparable to the audible spectrum.

This definitely reminds me of the sounds in The Forbidden Planet movie. How could Luis and Bebe Barron guess what space sounded like - back in 1956, almost 20 years before the Voyager records - it's a mystery to me!
