A message for the aliens from small-town planet earth.  With lame songs and barbecue sauce.

M13 is a star cluster.  In the 1970's we (on earth) broadcast a message to it.  Time for an update all you aliens out there!  We're still here...burnt out and burning up. 

Part 1: HI. entangled with two unintended broadcasts (burn burn central & we're not responsible)

Part 2: burn burn central (the truth is, it's getting hot here.)

Part 3: IS THERE AN INTENT?

Part 4: pick me up tonight.

Part 5: cosmopolitan

This was made for Panoply Performance Lab in Brooklyn,  NY. 

The original SETI broadcasts to M13.

Cosmos.  The first one.

Fossil Fuels.

I wish I'd had a garage band when I was a teenager.  I would have had a garage.  And a band.

sing, woman, sing. deer crash through windows. hell hounds want to play. this crappy bar? you've been here before. nothing's changed.  let's turn this basement into a club. everyone's looking for someplace to go.
