/// IT’S A DEEP AND COMPLICATED STORY:

===============

=========================================================================

On May 23rd 2024 (on a full moon, and after hearing faint drones and warbles from the night sky the night before) Black Marble Collective received an odd antistatic foil package, unmarked, that contained 30 crystal USBs, 30 odd shaped coins and a strong smell of isopropyl alcohol. We thought it was maybe sent from a friend or fan that wanted to send us a promo or something… So we plugged it into the XDJ to see who it possibly was. Once plugged in it started glowing blue as it illuminated KIDS ON A BRIDGE: IT WAS TIME TO LEAVE. It ended up being a bunch of .WAV files and a few .PNG and .TXT files… plugged it in the iMac to find all the files dated from the future…? Just seemed like an error or some weird ass shit… well… it just kept getting weirder.

The music on this USB was deeper than most we hear that artists shop to us. Really upon first listen it had us in a trance, it was calming and a relief to hear something so crisp and filled with soundscapes. It was working our monitors to their peak. During this time we were at the end of organizing and finalizing songs for our last BMC release Infinite Light x Infinite Life (∞ ☉ ∞ ⽣) and it really did strike a deep chord in us. Especially after experiencing so many recent deaths of our close loved ones….It just resonated so much with us. So, after reviewing the tracks and the full USB of mysterious data, we decided to add it to the compilation,it just felt right and complemented the end of the album so perfectly.

— — —Kids_on_a_Bridge__Light Sail.wav
— — —Kids_on_a_Bridge__GoodBye Sol.wav

Two incredible tracks to debut to our fans. The full album really makes our emotions and endorphins pop off. It’s ear candy at its greatest, and if this album scratches the surface of what great experimental, IDM, sci-fi ambient, music can be, we are here for it! Plus… the story of the artist has us really questioning time, the universe and the reality we know. Soon after we started getting these wild ass lights in the sky and orbs that no one can explain. Is this… KoaB or an effect of their presents here on earth? We have so many questions…

Enjoy the music and the following data.

=========================================================================

Kids on a Bridge is an organization dedicated to exploring the farthest reaches of the universe, both macro and micro, external and internal. Our members reach out and gather up information, converting it back down to sounds, so that it reaches the ears of those who would otherwise be deaf to its beauty. We are children full of hope and wonder as we stand on the bridge between worlds.

It Was Time to Leave is our debut project, the combined sensor data of a generation ship from a parallel world. Internal, external, bio-monitoring and ship’s log data have been combined to transport the listener along with the ship and crew through the cold of space and that most ancient enemy distance.

It is the drowsy childhood car ride home, it is the late night train out of town, it is the soft descent into sleep on a long flight writ large. At once a feeling of isolation and comfort. Solar winds pelt the sail with photons like hot raindrops, gravitational waves lap at the hull, radiation and cosmic rays kept at bay by the hull as the crew winds down for their long sleep.

— — — Note from JL Investigations: You just plugged a mysterious thumb drive into your computer?! Remind me to send you an IT safety video. I’ll look into it, but initial searches aren’t turning up much. You sure this is an actual group?

— — — Follow up note from JL Investigations: Literally all I could manage was one page of a FOIA release that is heavily redacted. Seems like BS to me. I think you can go ahead and release without any issues.

Organizational Dossier (obtained by FOIA request from Dept. of XXXXX-XXXXXX XXXXXXXXXX)

Group Name: Kids on a Bridge (KoaB)

Founded: Estimated 19XX, in XXXXXXX California (though recent group manipulation of XXXX XXXXX may have rendered traditional dating methods irrelevant).

Membership: Precise membership of core group is unknown, but is estimated to be between 3 and 9 individuals residing in our XXXXX (XXXX, XX, Earth, XXXXX). Extra-XXXXXX membership may extend far beyond that. Release notes from KoaB make claims of extra-XXXXXX origin for a vast majority of their projects, but this has yet to be conclusively corroborated.

Origin: KoaB claims to have begun as a collaborative effort between the practitioners of several disparate scientific, artistic, and occult disciplines, with the stated goal of “grasping points of understanding from the infinite”. The group began distributing newsletters shortly after formation in 19XX, with ads placed in various XXXXXXXXXX magazines directing interested parties to contact a PO Box for subscription. Newsletters moved to distribution from an unregistered server in 20XX. At around this time KoaB began releasing material (this closely coincided with INC #508-B XXX, which many in the department have speculated may be related to KoaB XXXXXX experimentation).

Below is an excerpt from the notes accompanying this their first release:

“…through our contact on XXXXX 12. What they bring us is their own extra-XXXXXX recording of unknown origin (XXXXX 12 has been recording extra-XXXXXX information for 12 years longer than we have, incredible!) from an Earth adjacent XXXXXXXX.

It Was Time to Leave is a gestalt rendering of the sensors, both internal and external, of a generation ship leaving their homeworld to escape an undefined but impending collapse. This has of course been rendered (as all extra-XXXXXX information must be) into an audio format for consumption in this XXXXX. As usual please attempt to listen to this after a period of …”

As it is clear to see, extra-XXXXXX communication has long been claimed as a cornerstone of the audio artifacts distributed by KoaB. Whether this is true, or simply an artistic exaggeration, is yet to be determined, but their knowledge of extra-XXXXXX activity lends credence to the former.

Follow Up: Thorough analysis has determined It Was Time to Leave to be free of extra-XXXXXX scientific information, weaponized memes, vengeful XXXXXX, exotic economic systems, or XXXXXXXXX. It is therefore the recommendation of this committee to refrain from interference in this release, but to maintain observation on this group and all future releases. Agents assigned are as follows….
