"On november 21 2031 Project Jupiter was launched. It's objective was to study planet Jupiter, the Jovian satellites and Jupiter's environment in space. A new computer system was created specifically for this mission. The system was revolutionary in design, and it's networked computing ca- pabilities enabled it to study Jupiter, and evaluate the data autonomously. Scientists hoped to be able to do research on the Jovian region more extensively and efficiently this way."
"The Jupiter Cycle" is a series of three Vinyl EP's released on Last Known Trajectory Records. The series is accompanied by artwork, posters and record sleeve inlays, which give fragmented glimpses into a futuristic story story about the rise of Artificial Intelligence and it's consequences. At the heart of the story lies a question central to the experience of consciousness; 'why do we exist?'
"The Jupiter Cycles are the best work of Hadamard to date. Bartelink leads the listener through automated atmospherics, phantoms of electric pulses and inside his motorized structures. Electronics and abstraction sit next functional, yet clever, Electro." (Igloo Magazine)
