A collaboration with Charles Lindsay from the SETI Instiute who provided the original field recordings.
I used only the 3 source recordings, sampled, manipulated, FXed, layered and played.
Using the Iris2 sampler I found some interesting sounds in the high frequencies of the Quantum Computer that established a nice rhythm once pitched down a few octaves. To this I added samples and loops from the underwater recording. Some other communities of sound were created by effecting the rain forest and the underwater. The melody in the middle was created by sampling the D-WAVE2 again isolating the main mid-freq with the Iris2 sampler then playing it on the keyboard. The subby intro and outro, the place from where we go into the machine, is a filter on the D-Wave recording.
