fermi paradox 51:16

about

where is everybody?

if there are so many billions of stars in the universe, and likely many earthlike planets, where are the alien civilizations? or are we really alone?

this is the fermi paradox

these alien signals are a piece of generative modular music

all the sounds are generated by two fm oscillators, which are lowpass-filtered with slow modulation on the cutoff frequency, and then passed on to a clouds module in time-stretching mode, again with lots of modulation on various parameters

once the patch gets going, it propels itself forward, without any human intervention

a bit of post-processing was applied in reaper, but this is all one take, and no other sounds were added

this album is dedicated to carl sagan (1934-1996), astrophysicist and science educator
