One album of vast stellar washes and drifts in classic spacemusic style and one album of catchy rhythmic grooves, all coming together in a meaningful narrative flow. An hour and a half of 100% goodness. Check it out, and be sure to read the album notes for the origin (very funny!) and the storyline.

This conceptual double album, accompanied by a rich sci-fi narrative, portrays serene and mysterious water planets: some barren, others teeming with strange alien life.<\/p>\n<p><BR>The first half of <strong>Water Planets<\/strong> descends calmly into glimmering, halcyon depths and sleeping aquatic valleys. The tones refract and entwine with luminescent, filtered patterns that hypnotize the ear and inner eye. The atmosphere is always safe, wrapped in warm waves of audio, enriched with quiet intricate detail. Listeners are transported through dazzling undersea gardens of undulating plant life into shadowy crevasses that vanish into the watery abyss. This is sound-as-architecture: an immersive journey through imagined oceans.<\/p>\n<p><BR>The second half of the album shifts to focus on the sustainable technology deployed by humans to retrieve water without disrupting Hydros\u2019 fragile ecosystems. Here, shimmering electronics and textural movement conjure sleek spacecraft, drones, and futuristic vessels designed for gentle water extraction. The tone is subtle, scientific, and sophisticated, suggesting a hopeful, non-invasive response to planetary crisis. <\/p>\n<p><BR>&#8220;The idea of the water planets,\u201d Mirko explains, \u201ccame from the idea of taking care of our planet in the face of our current mercenary attitude to our home. But initially it came from a much more fun and strange story. My partner Diana was going on a trip, and I was staying behind for work reasons \u2014 I was also searching for the catalyst for the next deepspace album. She asked me if I could water her plants while she was away. Knowing that I might forget, I typed the chore into my calendar \u2014&#8221;water plants.&#8221; Except it autocorrected to &#8220;water planets.\u201d I froze. In that second, it all fell into place. The story, the location, the sound of the music. A wormhole opened. It was almost like it was all ready and just needed an outlet.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><BR><BR><H3>Transmission:<br \/>\n&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;\u201cWe can\u2019t survive much longer&#8230; all the ice, all the water&#8230; it\u2019s all vaporizing. We didn\u2019t expect this, but it\u2019s obvious we\u2019re responsible. We caused this entanglement hell through our ignorance, and that damn experiment.<br \/>\n&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The water is almost gone from Earth\u2026 and everywhere else. The Oort Cloud is dry. The Kuiper Belt too. Enceladus is now a dust bowl. And you don\u2019t even want to see Venus. The oceans have evaporated. Rivers are cracked mud.<br \/>\n&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;People are dying fast, except for those in the domes, and they won\u2019t last much longer either.<br \/>\n&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;But there\u2019s something new: IASA has discovered a wormhole they believe leads to Hydros: a system of water planets.<br \/>\n&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;We must send the sustainable drone ships there&#8230; no matter what. Otherwise, we\u2019ll all be dead within the year.\u201d<\/h3>\n<p><BR>2224. Global warming isn\u2019t confined to Earth, it\u2019s everywhere. The sun, planets, belts, and moons across our solar system: once frozen and stable, have begun heating violently. An intervention, designed to slow centuries of warming, triggered a catastrophic chain reaction. The event is now known as 817, or The Great Quantum Entanglement Disaster. Instead of saving the system, it accelerated its collapse.<\/p>\n<p><BR>Scientists discovered that when humans pollute and alter Earth\u2019s environment, quantum entanglement causes distant celestial bodies to react like a metastatic cancer, spreading across the Milky Way in waves of heat, entropy, and disorder. The old metaphor was that the Earth was a pot slowly boiling. The truth? The pot is now the size of the galaxy.<\/p>\n<p><BR>Within months, most life is gone. All water has vaporized. Survivors number in the low millions, clinging to life inside sealed domed cities. Artificial food and water are engineered but insufficient. Extinction looms.<\/p>\n<p><BR>2225. In a stunning development, a scientist from IASA locates a wormhole near Mars that leads to a distant star system known as Hydros: a system of six water planets. It may be humanity\u2019s last hope.<\/p>\n<p><BR>Desperate governments greenlight a new project: the creation of ultra-sustainable AI spacecraft designed to retrieve water without spreading further environmental damage. These ships must avoid interaction with the Hydros planets as much as possible to prevent the entanglement from following us.<\/p>\n<p><BR><\/p>\n<h3>The Hydros System<\/h3>\n<p><BR>Hydros is a compact but vital star system orbiting the M-class red dwarf of the same name. Its six orbiting water planets, shimmering like celestial sapphires, hold the key to humanity\u2019s survival. Crucially, Hydros lies far enough from our own ruined solar system to remain untouched by human interference\u2026for now.<\/p>\n<p><BR>To access this resource, a fleet of advanced ships is sent through the wormhole. Equipped for long-distance travel and water containment, they traverse interstellar space to reach the system. Extraction is meticulous and precise, involving engineering marvels piloted by autonomous AI.<\/p>\n<p><BR>Enormous tankers draw water from the planetary surfaces, taking extreme care to maintain purity and minimize disruption. Environmental preservation is paramount. Specialized monitoring ships equipped with next-generation sensors and labs analyse water samples, marine life, and environmental impact in real time.<\/p>\n<p><BR>Autonomous drones and submersibles explore ocean depths, cataloguing ecosystems and geology. Conservationists and scientists work together to ensure that human presence remains sustainable and respectful. The goal is clear: do not repeat Earth\u2019s mistakes.<\/p>\n<h3>Projekt release: October 3 2025<\/h3>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p> <a href=https:\/\/projektrecords.bandcamp.com\/album\/water-planets TARGET=BLANK><IMG SRC=\/store\/assets\/images\/Button-Bandcamp.png width=129><\/a> <\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":30209,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":[],"product_brand":[],"product_cat":[50,886,49],"product_tag":[],"class_list":["post-30208","product","type-product","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","product_cat-ambient","product_cat-deepspace","product_cat-electronic","pa_artist-deepspace","pa_format-digital","pa_label-projekt-archive","pa_release-year-983","first","instock","taxable","shipping-taxable","product-type-simple","border"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.projekt.com\/store\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product\/30208","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.projekt.com\/store\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.projekt.com\/store\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/product"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.projekt.com\/store\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=30208"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.projekt.com\/store\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/30209"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.projekt.com\/store\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=30208"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"product_brand","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.projekt.com\/store\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_brand?post=30208"},{"taxonomy":"product_cat","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.projekt.com\/store\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_cat?post=30208"},{"taxonomy":"product_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.projekt.com\/store\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_tag?post=30208"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
