Aether Mechanics ‎- Aether Mechanics (2019)

The Aether Mechanics institution designs and manufactures advanced aeronautic vehicles, gadgets, fabrics and other cutting edge technology. The company was founded in 2019 to revolutionize space technology, with the ultimate goal of uniting the factions of our galaxy.

Aether Mechanics has gained worldwide attention for a series of historic milestones. It is the only private company capable of transporting individuals at light speed, which it first accomplished in 2188, now nearly 100 years ago. The company made history again in 2220 when its Helion Voyager CEV-172 became the first commercial spacecraft to deliver cargo to and from the Andromeda galaxy.

As the galaxy's fastest growing provider of aeronautic vehicles and a wide variety of cutting edge technology, Aether Mechanics has secured countless missions around its native solar system. These include the development of the interplanetary public transport amphibic shuttlepods as well as missions issued by the planet Earth's central government. Their spacecrafts are now flying cargo regularly between the neighbouring solar systems to enable less developed planets to terraform their revolving celestial bodies. The XG90 aircraft was designed from the outset to carry the average citizen to space and will soon be available commercially next year.

Building on the achievements of the Helion Voyager and XG90, Aether Mechanics is working on a next generation of light and affordable fabrics that will be the most durable ever built, capable of further realizing the inner visions of our collective mind.

> BACKGROUND

Aether Mechanics is a conceptual electronic music project founded by Hypnus Records' founder Michel (b. 1988, Sweden). It aims to paint a cinematic visualization of a fascination for futuristic technology and experimental sound design techniques.

The first album comes divided into eight tracks based on sampling sessions of the artist's Eurorack modular synthesizer. Together with field recordings from an artisan letterpress factory in Stockholm (which facilitate beautiful original 1950's letterpress machines), his voice and various digital effects and instruments; it all boils down to a refreshing, machine-like sound that hopefully will inspire producers and music connoisseurs alike.

The album, along with other unreleased material from the project, will be available as an expanded 'director's cut' version ready to be performed live at clubs and festivals around the world. Bringing a fusion of carefully crafted and arranged sound effects with the unpredictable quirks and power of modular synthesis.
