Megascale Music
Music on a massive scale.
Sun Miners and other clades living in an environment with strong and variable magnetic fields sometimes build gigantic musical instruments, using natural objects and other phenomena which they re-arrange in various ways. Once properly disposed, these phenomena can produce musical sounds, either directly via electromagnetic emissions or by interacting with magnetic or electrostatic fields.
Some examples:
1) Modified and finely tuned stellar flares and eruptions
2) Corona and thermosphere events controlled by superconducting arrays
3) An asteroid belt arranged in harmonic sequences
4) A planetary ring system which can produce music like an old vinyl record(i.e."The Jupiter Symphony" (whimsically named after an Old Earth symphony))
5) A passive theremin, producing random or incidental sounds by interacting with craft approach lane to a major wormhole cluster
