Space Kraut [disquiet0546] by treast published on 2022-06-20T07:32:25Z Track made for the disquiet junto challenge with the theme 'Code Notes' - music that includes a secret message... IDEA The words code and message reminded me of a recent news story that scientists came up with a new message to send into space (meant for aliens out there), telling all about humanity. That got me thinking about the original Arecibo message; an interstellar radio message carrying basic information about humanity and Earth, sent into space in 1974. And about the data (like sounds and images) we receive from the planet Mars and satellites so far away. COMPO I started with an E minor pentanonic scale. Once more I played with a generative tool and took a big chunck of that. The percussive/drum part felt very 'krautrock' or Michael Rother to me, so I went with that sound direction. I incorporated sound clips from NASA, such as the seismic activity on Mars, the passing of Jupiter's moon Ganymede and the Cassini satellite. And thinking of hidden messages in a song, I remembered about so called binaural beats, sounds that would alter the state of your brain. So there's a relaxing ("alpha state") drone in there too. Lastly I added parts of the actual Arecibo message in audio form. It took two days, even less than I normally spend on these projects, so I guess it's not up to my normal standards, but I hope everyone still appreciates the effort.
