Altered Zones

"How to explain? How to describe? Even the omniscient viewpoint quails." (Vernor Vinge, A Fire Upon the Deep)

Modern sci-fi writing has made the space ‘dogfight’ (as portrayed in staples of the genre such as Star Wars and Battlestar Galactica) obsolete. In the cosmic battlefield of the future, victory or defeat won’t be the outcome of the split-second decisions of a Tatooine redneck with mystical inclinations. No, victory and defeat will be decided by the efficiency of the processors of AI-manipulated war drones bristling with nuclear warheads as they spread across a warzone, light years from each other.

Beautiful fireworks illuminate the void like simulacra of cosmic birth, an interstellar dronestorm reflected in the glorious onslaught of Tjutjuna’s "Mosquito Hawk." Their album is available to pre-order here (limited to 500 vinyl).
