Hybrasil returns to Carl Cox & Christopher Coe's Awesome Soundwave record label on September 13th. Test & Push EP is part of an album concept, which will be released on November 1st.
Before embarking on the historic voyage to the Sirius B star system, The Voyagers must first conquer a series of rigorous tests and meticulous preparations.
"Test & Push" is an EP that delves into the crucial prelude to their journey—an exploration of the relentless trials, intricate calibrations, and the unwavering resolve needed to ready themselves and their spacecraft for the unknown.
Concept Overview:
In the year 2145, as humanity stands on the brink of its most ambitious leap into the cosmos, a privately funded team of explorers prepares for a one-way journey to the distant Sirius B star system. Before they can embark on this epoch-defining mission, they must undergo a series of exhaustive tests and simulations. These preparations are vital—not just for the spacecraft and its AI systems, but for the very survival of the crew.
"Test & Push" sets the stage for the journey that follows. Where “The Voyagers" explores the grand adventure and the challenges of colonisation, "Test & Push" focuses on the preparation, the discipline, and the quiet determination required to make such a journey possible. It is a study in perseverance and the unyielding spirit that drives humanity to reach beyond its grasp.
This EP deepens the listener 's understanding of the immense effort and sacrifice behind such a monumental endeavour.
