about

The Tralfamadorian Codex is a concept album which exercises unconventional storytelling and experimental ambience. Recorded between 2021 and 2022, this album utilizes synthesizers and audio effects to tell a tale of first contact between mankind and an alien race - the Tralfamadorians.

The album is seen through our descendents eyes as they witness the invasion of earth, the barren wasteland it produces, and the remaining humans search for oasis.

Inspired by the literary works of Vonnegut, old television shows like The Outer Limits, and the online projects of Kris Straub, this album intends to provide the listener with an alien experience as they listen amidst the crash of worlds.
