"It's with great humility that the medical institute of Aether Mechanics commemorates the 300th annual memorial of the 2023 plague that launched us out as an interplanetary species.

Never before had our threats been so many, nor as severe. Thanks to a band of heroes, whose names we shall never forget, may we stand here today and look with pride at our thriving galactic empire.

As humanity is flowering, with centuries of peace and universal health, it glads us to see that so too is our maternal world, Tellus. Recent reports show that the planet’s recovery is accelerating after the damage caused by our forefathers.

Although all hominids were extinct by the malicious viruses, its ecology is now starting to flourish. The biodegradation of pollutants has been faster than previous estimations, and the biological masses’ readaptation has been showing signs of increased stability.

May we never again divert from compassion and reason.

We carry the flame.
May it guide us.
To infinity,
and beyond.”

Vaccine [Album, AETHER3]

“Last week saw a milestone in the development of silicon-based consciousness with the first successfully generated Artificial General Intelligence (AGI). Sadly, the model soon fell into a deep state of existential despair before choosing to deactivate itself.

Our researchers are currently studying the effects of various psychedelic scripts imported into lesser neural networks. These AI models have displayed significantly reduced anxiety on profound metrics such as purpose and identity.

With these improvements, we are confident that the future will spawn a transcendent mind able to jolt humanity further into unimaginable states of prosperity and well-being.”

Helion Voyager CEV-172

Unstable Stabilizer

The Aether Mechanics institution designs and manufactures advanced aeronautic vehicles, gadgets, fabrics and other cutting edge technology. The company was founded in 2019 to revolutionize space technology, with the ultimate goal of uniting the factions of our galaxy.

Aether Mechanics has gained worldwide attention for a series of historic milestones. It is the only private company capable of transporting individuals at light speed, which it first accomplished in 2188, now nearly 100 years ago. The company made history again in 2220 when its Helion Voyager CEV-172 became the first commercial spacecraft to deliver cargo to and from the Andromeda galaxy.

As the galaxy's fastest growing provider of aeronautic vehicles and a wide variety of cutting edge technology, Aether Mechanics has secured countless missions around its native solar system. These include the development of the interplanetary public transport amphibic shuttlepods as well as missions issued by the planet Earth's central government. Their spacecrafts are now flying cargo regularly between the neighbouring solar systems to enable less developed planets to terraform their revolving celestial bodies. The XG90 aircraft was designed from the outset to carry the average citizen to space and will soon be available commercially next year.

Building on the achievements of the Helion Voyager and XG90, Aether Mechanics is working on a next generation of light and affordable fabrics that will be the most durable ever built, capable of further realizing the inner visions of our collective mind.

://BACKGROUND

Aether Mechanics is a conceptual electronic music project founded by Hypnus Records' founder Michel (b. 1988, Sweden). It aims to paint a cinematic visualization of a fascination for futuristic technology and experimental sound design techniques.

The first album comes divided into eight tracks based on sampling sessions of the artist's Eurorack modular synthesizer. Together with field recordings from an artisan letterpress factory in Stockholm (which facilitate beautiful original 1950's letterpress machines), his voice and various digital effects and instruments; it all boils down to a refreshing, machine-like sound that hopefully will inspire producers and music connoisseurs alike.

The album, along with other unreleased material from the project, will be available as an expanded 'director's cut' version ready to be performed live at clubs and festivals around the world. Bringing a fusion of carefully crafted and arranged sound effects with the unpredictable quirks and power of modular synthesis.

Excerpts from the 2319 AM Xhibition.

"This document displays an aural representation of the stress-relieving effects caused by a selection of our magnetic meditation devices. Our research show that a heightened awareness and sense of unity with the body can be gained by frequent use of these machines. We think that these audio recordings shared with the public along with this years' exhibition give a reasonable understanding of the effects. We feel very excited to offer our patented meditation devices to private consumers in the first quarter of 2320." Heinz Usling, PhD & Aether Mechanics CEO

"We advice the users to administer these recordings in a prostrating position. Our tests show that subjects lying comfortably with their eyes closed in a dark room often witnessed of some sort of heightened experience. I'd also recommend headphones to avoid room modes to alter these delicate frequencies although sound systems with high fidelity may contribute with it's own distinct effects. As our research shows." Saga Iseneld, PhD & Head of Hominid Research
