"Scientists using NASA's Kepler, a space telescope, recently discovered six planets made of a mix of rock and gases orbiting a single sun-like star, known as Kepler-11, which is located approximately 2,000 light years from Earth."

I found the official data for the orbital periods of the 6 planets and converted them into a chord and an octave reduced scale ...
