here's an interesting write up by Scott regarding the
creation of this project:

"I, Scott Bruzenak, am an independent researcher for the
S.E.T.I. program. That stands for the Search for
Extra-Terrestrial Intelligence. I inspect the bleeps and
blorps from outer space. Interesting, but boring work.

Boring, until one day in late september, 2002. I started to
perceive a subtle pattern in all of the seemingly random
information. It was not perceptable before, because I was
focusing on linear patterns. When I focused my study on
multiple patterns, aka 3*7=21=7*3, I started to notice crazy
outbursts of order, recurring on a global one after several
permutations. I wrote down nine of the patterns, which
remained in my notebook for three months, awaiting further
study.

Upon returning to the same sector of the sky months later, I
could not believe my eyes! There was nothing in the sector
under 1000 light years away! for there to be something
broadcasting there, it would have to be pumping out a
wattage incomprehensible to modern man. But there it was,
pumping out those multiple pattern bursts, such as 4*5=20,
3*4*5=60, etc.

"Now I was thrilled, and felt like I was on the verge of
a major human breakthrough, the likes of which have not
existed since the discovery of fire, or crawling from the
oceans. Something like that.

I didn't know what I should do, so I called my friend and
fellow researcher, Deantoni Parks, who also happens to be
one of the best drummers in the world. He has done quite a
bit of work on multiple time signatures, and is a virtuoso,
so he could easily point out the shapes of the patterns in
his improvisations, even at mind-boggling tempos of above
180 bpm. We decided that I should set up loops and have him
play a few minutes for each pattern.

Next, I set up a small computer program to compose tones to
match to the patterns, in a fugal matrix harkening back to
JS Bach, Coltrane, Bartok, Nancarrow, Stockhausen, all the
composers that I felt could have been communing with
extra-terrestrials. I felt that music would be the best way
to get this information out into the world, because I have
no way of knowing what else this code is. I simply am not
smart enough to break the code without breaking it up to
hear different parts of the patterns.

Is it a language? Is it simply background radiation? Is it
an error of the viewer, creating patterns at the limits of
perception, where the senses fail? Am I seeing my own brain?
Am I witnessing an advanced civilization? Am I insane?

All of these things have crossed my mind.

I called the album Google Plex, the great number one
followed by a google zeros (a google is a one followed by a
hundred zeros). It has crossed the universe, been filtered
through this humble scientist, and found its way to your
ears. I hope you enjoy it, and maybe help me crack the
code.

thank you,
Scott Bruzenak, astroid power-up!
