This really was 'pre-dawn inertia'. Taking some recordings I have of percussion instruments and doing an effected Ableton Live mix.

My response to the weekly haiku challenge from @naviar-records, this week from label founder Marco. Here's the poem:

Pre-dawn inertia
Where do I go
From here?

Title is taken from the first line of a haiku by Marco Sebastiano Alessi. The image is a section of an image by Dameli Zhantas.

The Assignment: Record the sound of an advanced alien civilization.

The year is 2126, and your spaceship is on a routine science expedition of the outer reaches of previously unexplored parts of the universe. Your crew has encountered, for the first known time in human history, a planet that is home to sentient life that has developed an advanced civilization not unlike our own. After settling into geosynchronous orbit, you send down a stealth drone to explore. The drone captures audio and video. Please share the audio of your drone’s reconnaissance mission.
