despite virtually talking over the aliens and constantly increasing the complexity of the message without repetition the aliens manage to match the signal indicating their willingness to communicate.
unfortunately the humans get no less annoying and end up getting destroyed out of irritation.
tones done in iris2 with arpeggiator
i used some mods in podfarm for the aliens and randomization on the midi which gradually fade out to converge with the humans

Disquiet Junto Project 0453: Dial Up
The Assignment: Imagine the technologically mediated First Contact through sound.
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:

Art Imaginarium Challenge: First Contact
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 differences.”
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.
Optional Step: There is a Facebook group for the SETI Art Imaginarium, and you might post your work for this week’s project there:

Seven More Important Steps When Your Track Is Done:
Step 1: Include “disquiet0453” (no spaces or quotation marks) in the name of your tracks.
Step 2: If your audio-hosting platform allows for tags, be sure to also include the project tag “disquiet0453” (no spaces or quotation marks). If you’re posting on SoundCloud in particular, this is essential to subsequent location of tracks for the creation of a project playlist.
Step 3: Upload your tracks. It is helpful but not essential that you use SoundCloud to host your tracks.
Step 4: Post your tracks in the following discussion thread at llllllll.co:
