2153 UTC Monkey noises, followed by winds howling, then a loud heartbeat
2155 UTC Other animal noises followed by mechanical noises and CW (I'll review my recording later on)
2157 UTC Classical music now (S8 peaks with excellent audio)
2202 UTC Sounds like music from a south asian country
2206 UTC Unid genre of music...nice funky beat!
2208 UTC Unid language choral singing
2209 UTC Music with an aboriginal Aussie sound to it
2211 UTC Caribbean steel drum music (Solid S9 now)
2214 UTC "Johnny B Goode"-Chuck Berry  :)
2217 UTC Some kind of looped electronica, followed by flute music
2220 UTC OFF

Thank you for an interesting mix of music and sound effects! I tried to decode the CW but it makes no sense, as I'm poor at Morse Code! Here's the recording of the CW:

Here's my recording of the show:

I posted the CW audio clip in the HFU Discord chat and the sleuths there uncovered the program as part of the Voyager 1 Golden Record! Now that is really cool!  8)
