Imaginary first alien contact messages from Space … or, from Earth?

Step 1: The SETI Institute posts an artistic challenge this month. This month’s was issued by the organization’s co-founder, Dr. Jill Tarter (portrayed as Dr. Ellie Arroway in Contact) Watch the brief video introduction here: www.youtube.com/watch?v=VT_LR-oUvlU
Step 2: In brief, the idea is to consider that First Contact between humans and extraterrestrials will likely be technologically mediated. “We use technology as a proxy for intelligence, and then we go looking with various types of telescopes and detectors to see if we can find evidence that somewhere else someone or something else has used technology to modify their environment in ways that we can sense over vast distances.”
Step 3: Consider what First Contact might be like elsewhere in the universe in light of Dr. Tarter’s challenge.
Step 4: Produce a piece in music/sound that responds to the challenge.
A unique atmospheric album with a sense of humor and a lot of melancholy. I do not know if you can call this ambient.. but I don't know any other record like this Michel Banabila
