An imagined set of poetic readings that an alien race might make on receiving the Arecibo Message, sent into space in 1974 by the Arecibo radio telescope.

The message, sent as binary digits, is translated to a variety of vocal sounds, read by a text-to-speech converter and recorded as audio files.
