INTERGLACTIC BABALONIA
“INTERGLACTIC BABALONIA” is a track recorded for “Camembert Électrique” (a French label) compilation “VOYAGER 13”.
In 1977, the Voyager 1 and 2 probes left Earth carrying the Golden Record, a sound and visual message intended for potential extraterrestrial life. Nearly fifty years later, Camembert Électrique imagines sending a new probe: Voyager 13.
A compilation with 58 tracks.
About the title: cruising the galaxy sounds are multidirectional and heard to translate into the human language. For the beings out there it’s for sure a normal way of exchanging information. So “BABALONIA” is the earthly equivalent of “incomprehensible language”.

“INTERGLACTIC BABALONIA” APPROACH
In general:
7 layers are beamed into the galaxy all telling their own story, together sounding as a sort of galactic message. The individual messages can be distinguished from one another with headphones—it requires concentration—something they master well out there—to avoid getting lost in one story after another.
Approach:
7 different modular modules are used for each message (recorded separately). During the mixing stage panning sends the messages into different directions to be sure they can be received.
“Seven modular modules whisper, each alone,
Recording messages in a channel of their own.
Then panning turns their voices through open air,
So every signal finds a listener somewhere.”
