Dear Tomorrow People, today you can obtain the latest files from S.E.T.I.’s journey into the Beyond. Please note this has been recorded in ‘Very Stereo’ and contains frequencies which you’ll not only hear but can feel, if you play on the correct equipment. I hope you enjoy the experience.
Feel free to download the 24 bit audio (click the three dots next to the player) and image for your own playback system.
This was created with multiple stems of audio, each from a different mini synth, such as the Bugbrand Postcard Weevil, Mute Synth 1 etc. The stems were looped and arranged so that they played back in random order as each one finished. They were then fed into a series of repeaters, delays, modulators, filters and gates in order to create a semi-generative piece. The repeaters and gates were adjusted in realtime to try to disturb the flow.
In the year 2525, beat data is assembled from numerous long-extinct computer systems, to entertain the last surviving digital nomads.
Physical media is long gone, having been replaced by subcutaneous brain interfaces that receive airborne entertainment transmissions.
However, even these are prone to malfunction as the human hosts are naturally organic and leak when under stress. This leads to momentary audio glitches, often perceived as part of the entertainment programmes but actually indicative of the oncoming demise of the host transmission/reception infrastructure.
