John Frusciante’s new album is from outer space

Access it streaming via satellite
You can listen to John Frusciante’s new album Enclosure, from outer space. Literally.

John’s new album promotion is probably the first to use outer space and remote server technology. Last Saturday, March 29, a satellite containing his music was launched into outer space by a Neptune Modular Rocket out in a High Desert area in California. It is currently orbiting the earth streaming the new album around the globe. In order to access a direct stream, people must download his free iPhone and Android app, Sat-JF14, which will track the satellite and inform you if it’s near your location and ready for streaming direct to your phone.

Wait and Stream
Described as an “Interorbital Cube Satellite” the interface of the mobile app shows the current location and time remaining when the stream will be available. There are no other streams or leaks of the album anywhere. It will orbit the earth and provide direct streams of his new album ending at midnight of 7 of April.

                    

This is the 11^th solo album for the former Red Hot Chili Peppers axeman. The highly prolific guitarist has explored a lot of music in the course of his previous other albums, digging into synthpop, electronics, drum and bass, experimental rock, psychedelic rock among many others, collaborating with the likes of Mars Volta guitarist Omar Rodriguez-Lopez, and current RHCP members Josh Klinghoffer and Flea.

For those who can wait
After April 7 though, the album will be released in a more tangible and accessible way, so those who can’t or weren’t able to listen to it will still have their hands on it for a personal listening experience, on their own time. Fans just have to wait.

However, to tide you over just in case, his solo album collaboration with former Mars Volta guitarist Omar Rodriguez-Lopez, Kimono Kult is available for streaming in a more traditional way at consequenceofsound.net
