No photograph. No biography. Just the request to use the name and let the music speak.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThere have been several transmissions since. Still no interviews, no confirmed identity, no explanation of who — or what — is behind the name.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSome say Transpac is a person. Others insist it is a machine. A few believe it is simply a data packet that escaped the network and somehow learned how to make music.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe name itself offers a possible clue. TRANSPAC was once the name of a French public data network, launched in 1978 and built around X.25 packet switching — breaking information into packets and moving them across a network long before the Internet became what it is today.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePerhaps Transpac has been travelling ever since.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePacket Switching EP is the latest intercepted transmission: six packets of pure machine music, assembled somewhere between circuitry, communication protocols and whatever exists on the other side of the network.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhilst the packets have been received, the sender remains unknown.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSynaptic Cliffs is particularly pleased to have brought Transpac into its network — a feat made possible, not least, by its principal operative, pdqb. Through communication channels inaccessible to ordinary Earthlings, pdqb was able to locate Transpac with remarkable ease and secure its transmission for the label.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe artwork, rendered in yellow and black and largely composed of binary code, echoes the visual language of the early machine age — a world of geometric systems, electronic signals and human beings beginning to communicate with machines.
