A guided meditation transporting the listener into a train riding through a terraformed Mars, (inspired by Kim Stanley Robinson’s Mars trilogy, but you don't have to know anything about this book) where he/she will have a nap, not sleeping but just chilling down and enjoying the place and his/her situation.
There is longing, long journeys on and between planets, people left behind so far away, but also a general and diffuse pleasure – I hope – caused by the landscapes the listeners travel through, landscapes of a planet that once was lifeless and now is full of life. And also, perhaps, the pleasure of traveling through a world when humans built and seeded life instead of destroying it.
And perhaps also a way to evade the current times by imagining that having to wear a mask can have positive implications (although I thought about this script before the coronavirus outbreak). Having to wear a breathing mask on your face, even a full-body suit, being fed air by a machine, can mean being given the possibility to enjoy life in a place where human life should be impossible. It even can be seen as a part of your identity.
The resulting audio is supposed to be listened to while lying comfortably in an armchair or your bed. Or, even better, alone in a train riding through the landscape. I wrote this script imagining a feminine voice telling it to my male self, but I feel like both the voice and the listener can be of any gender.
