The Latest Afterlife Release, Sirens Of titan, is Inspired by the Kurt Vonnegut novel of the same name. The novel tells the story of a man who is converted to pure energy, only materialising when his waveforms intercept Earth or another planet. He finds he spends most of his time on Saturn’s moon, Titan, which he finds to be rather peaceful, abundant and a perfect climate.

The reality may be slightly different. When the Voyager 1 and 2 spacecraft passed through the Saturn system in 1980 and 1981, they couldn’t see Titan’s surface because of its hazy atmosphere—images from that mission showed a featureless orange world—but they did see the blue haze as a seemingly detached layer of Titan’s upper atmosphere.

Just before Voyager 1 arrived in the Saturn system, some scientists speculated that the moon’s cold temperatures and methane meant that Titan might be home to oceans of liquid hydrocarbons. But the Voyager spacecrafts’ cameras were unable to penetrate Titan’s opaque atmosphere to get a clear view of the surface. Voyager did, however, reveal that Titan had traces of acetylene, ethane, and propane, along with other organic molecules, and that its atmosphere was primarily nitrogen.
