Sonification of Phantom Galaxy

Messier 74 is a spiral galaxy like our Milky Way, which is seen face-on from Earth’s vantage point some 32 million light-years away. X-rays from Chandra (purple) have been combined with an infrared view of M74 from NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope (green, yellow, red, and magenta) as well as optical data from NASA’s Hubble Space Telescope (orange, cyan, and blue). In sonifying these data, a clockwise-moving radar-like scan starts around 12 o’clock. The distance from the center controls the frequencies of sound with light farther from the center being higher pitched. The Chandra sources correspond to relatively high musical pitches of glassy ethereal and clear plucked sounds. In the Webb data, large, medium, and small features are represented by low, medium, and high frequency ranges of pitches respectively with the brightest stars being heard as percussive sounds. The Hubble data have been turned into breathy synthesizer sounds along with thin metallic plucked sounds for bright stars and clusters.

Inhale deeply the iridescent void.
Coruscating glimmer through stars destroyed.
Phase transition into mass polyglots.
Skew probability density plots.
The spiral dance through cosmic dark
are stars with fused spinning quarks.
Through space they hurl, burning bright
in the abyss of the night.
Whose immortal hand or eye
created supersymmetry?
Or this poem that borders
on abject futility?

I would much rather hear the galaxy ONLY, without modern music obliterating it. Where can I see the video with ONLY the actual sound of the galaxy? I seriously doubt that the galaxy really sounds like a guitar or other stringed instrument.

Did you even read the description?
"In the Webb data, large, medium, and small features are represented by low, medium, and high frequency ranges of pitches respectively with the brightest stars being heard as percussive sounds. The Hubble data have been turned into breathy synthesizer sounds along with thin metallic plucked sounds for bright stars and clusters."
Edit for the definition of 'Sonification':
'Sonification' is a term for presenting data using non-verbal sound, but is much less common than data visualisation techniques. The method enables new approaches to sonification, investigating how astronomy can be studied and communicated by 'listening' to data.
From the nasa.gov website:
NASA has been producing “sonifications” of astronomical data of objects in space. This project takes the digital data captured by its telescopes in space - most of which is invisible to our unaided eyes - and translates them into musical notes and sounds so they can be heard rather than seen.
