Voyager 2021 - a podcast by Cities and Memory

"It's all about the feeling of awe. 



A few minutes in space could be few years on Earth. This hypothesis isn't new but it's still mindblowing. As much as a sheer vastness of space and it's incomprehensible scales. How infinitesimally small we are in comparison! But I believe we all feel just how deep the inner spaces of our minds can be.



That's what I was thinking when I heard the original recording. With these thoughts in mind I've recorded a drone piece. Monumental, slowly evolving organ-like timbre and randomly processed original recording are doing the job. And while editing the recording I was constantly remembering scenes from Stanley Kubrick's 2001: Space Odyssey. Hence the name of the piece.



When I think of it all now, it's just simply amazing how astronaut's conversations recorded via radio circa 1986 can resonate here & now. And well into the future."
