Iannis Xenakis created the music using the UPIC which makes sound based on drawings that Xenakis made.

@TomTheGuitarist Yes, I know. But what I wanted to stress is that sound itself (I mean the pure oscillation of molecules in the air at a certain frequency) may be better to convey an idea or a concept rather than a complex mix of sounds of an orchestra. Plus the fact that another civilized population in the space may not like Beethoven or Mozart, but it would have probably studied sound as a physical phenomenon.

Someone said classical music would be the best way to exchange ideas and emotions with the aliens, but I think this piece by Xenakis would be better for that purpose :)
