Background and release

[edit | edit source]

Seth Haley's previous works Galactic Melt (2011), Wave 1 (2014), Silicon Tare (2016), and Iteration (2017), tells the story of a space traveler named Com Truise.[2] Iteration was the last album about the story. According to Haley's label Ghostly International, with Persuasion System, "Haley leaves the past narrative behind".[3] According to Ghostly, the album "began as an experiment. Haley switched digital audio workstations, rebuilt his palette of sounds, and tasked himself with simply trying it out".[3]

On March 5, 2019, he announced the album while also releasing its first single, "Existence Schematic".[4] A second single, the title-track, was released on April 10.[5] On May 15, "Ultrafiche of You", the third and final single, was released.[6] A music video for it was released on June 19, which, as described by Ghostly, is a "metaphysical journey through the seasons of life."[7][8]
