The Fermi Jr. Audio Chronicles

Prepare for an auditory experience that bridges the cosmic and the experimental. This collection combines advanced sound-design techniques with a story that echoes across the stars. Crafted with precision by Locke and Al Hug, these alien-like sounds utilize cutting-edge methods such as granular synthesis and extreme time warping. Each sound is then meticulously processed through analog gear like tape and vinyl, resulting in two distinct versions: a clean, digital version and a warm, analog vinyl-processed version.

The Story of Fermi Jr.:

Four years ago, Mr. Fermi Jr., son of renowned physicist Enrico Fermi, embarked on a daring mission to uncover the truth about the Fermi Paradox—the question of why, despite high probabilities of extraterrestrial life, there is no clear evidence of its existence. Unfortunately, contact with his spaceship was lost shortly after launch due to a presumed communication failure. For years, Skylab X awaited any sign of life.

After 1463 days of silence, an unexpected data set was received. Initially indecipherable, the recordings were ultimately uncovered by Locke, a mission data specialist. They contained otherworldly audio—enigmatic recordings from Mr. Fermi Jr. himself. Although no evidence of alien life was found, these haunting sounds were declassified and released through Minta Foundry for the public to explore.
