Cassini Tales is a Moscow-London based studio project launching their first EP in 2022 on Italian prog-rock label LUMINOL RECORDS. The name of the band is inspired by Cassini-Huygens space-research mission: a probe that studied the planet Saturn including its rings and natural satellites.
Tales represent a fictional log of an AI-equipped spaceship with a contradictory mission: on one hand the crew of the spaceship is researching human beings and the peculiarities of their interpersonal communications, reasons for their existence, love, war; and on the other hand - it is striving for an absolute and comfortable loneliness. The only friend the crew has is spaceship's AI.
"The song is inspired by Peter Gabriel's early solo albums and Police's albums such as Ghost In The Machine and Synchronicity. The song is prickly and incisive, full of mockery and and a bit of irony.
We all tend to follow the same path and habitual algorithms, in search of illusory success ready to commit villainy. Sometimes we understand it’s all so wrong and we aren’t so good and nice we think we are. But do we want to try to change something in our lives? I doubt it."
