carbonaut ( kår´ × ban × åt ) n. a traveler of the inner workings of those organic substances which compose life and, subsequently, all following inorganic actions and reactions which afflict said living organisms.
as much as one would expect a cosmonaut to travel into the unknown of the cosmos in order to experiment, document, become educated on the subject, and then translate that data into reports- so, too, does a carbonaut engage in exploration. however, rather than traveling out to some other setting , a carbonaut's journey lies within, as an analyzing of the self and the home environment are to be undertaken in order to become educated in consistent habits and habitats, and to witness reoccurring patterns in behavior and different results from social experimentation. in a way, everyone is a carbonaut in their own right, as it is not difficult to make a prediction based on evidence of current behavior. this is simply a call to arms to take an introspective approach when digesting pop-culture, media, and most importantly music.
does the music which enters your ear ever really get inside of you? we five musicians have experienced the fabric of our lives being interwoven with the basic components of music. we can say, with confidence, that our carbon is completely dependant upon the patterning of musical instruments played in unison. our organic compostition is very much attached to an inorganic operation. the sound becomes physically manifest in our minds and in our beating hearts. and so, our journey has begun, and, hopefully, in the end we will have translated this relationship between the living body and the living song in such a way that there is conscious questioning of what makes up life, other than the basic elements found in human body.
