the story

They sent them up. Something came back.

// signal detected // origin: unknown // frequency: 47.3 Hz

Before humans dared to leave the atmosphere, we sent animals. Felicette the cat. Arabella the spider. Laika the dog. Ham the chimp. They were the first to hear the silence between stars.

But silence isn't empty. Something was broadcasting from the dark — a signal buried in noise, hidden across four frequencies. Each track on Ch.1 carries a fragment. Find them all, and the constellation reveals itself.

This isn't just an album. It's a transmission.
