VOYAGE

After a series of EPs and releases across different media (magazines, posters, digital), dTHEd returns with a new full length album — their first in six years since the debut of the landmark hyperbeatz vol.1 on Boring Machines. 

VOYAGE (Vital Operations and Yearly Administration for Galactic Existence), is a bold, genre-defying concept album chronicling humanity’s flight from an uninhabitable Earth to the deep unknown of interstellar exile. More than an album, VOYAGE is a full speculative fiction universe — part musical epic, part cultural archive, and part institutional aesthetic project, inspired by NASA and the Voyager Golden Record. 

The album’s title “voyage” is purposely multidimensional: a noun, a verb and an acronym. It represents the act of fleeing, as well as the urgency and the journey itself; but also, it stands for the fictional agency ensuring humanity's survival: Vital Operations and Yearly Administration for Galactic Existence. 

Structured in seven musical chapters, VOYAGE follows the emotional and existential trajectory of a multi-generational spaceship crew seeking a habitable exoplanet. From take off (01. Orbit Toos) to weightlessness (03. Grabitate Isila), from love (02. Akichee) to the needs for tribal dancing rituals (04. Spēsaphlōra) and spirituality (05. Efengyl Y Ddynoliaetht), from the elation of discovery (06. Kitenga) to the landing into a new and dubious exoplanet (07. Sumnjiv Egzoplanet), the album interrogates what it means to be human, when Earth is no longer home.

Each title-track is presented in a different language or linguistic hybrid, emphasizing the ark-like urgency to preserve human diversity — linguistic, artistic, scientific — in a closed, eternal voyage. Vocal performances are non-semantic, evoking raw emotional states beyond language.
