On board each craft, a carefully etched golden record containing sonic artefacts of life on earth, including fragments of Bach \u0026amp; traditional musics, sounds of animals \u0026amp; nature, an audio realisation of the ‘music of the sphere’s’ \u0026amp; children’s laughter.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAs the 40th anniversary of the mission loomed, the three artists, working here together for the first time, locked themselves in a dark studio, armed with three things: a gleaming desktop computer \u0026amp; microphone running custom software (pulled from a previous gallery installation by Tim Bruniges), a pair of keyboards from the era, \u0026amp; a laboriously hunted-down playlist of fragments from the original golden record (this was before the Ozma boxset existed…). The setup was such that Bruniges \u0026amp; Day could each hear McGuigan’s collaged Voyager excerpts but not each other’s responses, like a sonic exquisite corpse.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eEach artist brings insights from their diverse extra-musical practices, sound art, film making \u0026amp; writing, which lends a keenly sculptural approach to the material. The results are mysterious \u0026amp; evocative, like a submerged fever dream.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe release includes a poignant lyric essay ‘Termination Shock’ that ruminates on the Voyager program, comparing the implicit melancholy of its steady recession with a long-distance relationship coming apart.\"\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eHospital Hill, 2021\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003ciframe style=\"border: 0; width: 100%; height: 42px;\" src=\"https:\/\/bandcamp.com\/EmbeddedPlayer\/album=3110362327\/size=small\/bgcol=ffffff\/linkcol=0687f5\/transparent=true\/\" seamless\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/brunigesdaymcguigan.bandcamp.com\/album\/very-fast-very-far\"\u003eVERY FAST \u0026amp; VERY FAR by Tim Bruniges, Julian Day, Matt McGuigan\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e","brand":"naturestripstore","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46735478423793,"sku":null,"price":42.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0634\/8859\/0065\/files\/timbruniges_veryfast.jpg?v=1752825529","url":"https:\/\/naturestripstore.myshopify.com\/products\/tim-bruniges-julian-day-matt-mcguigan-very-fast-very-far-lp-1","provider":"naturestripstore","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
