One of the first tracks written for this LP, the roots of ‘Overview Effect’ trace
back to a livestream improvisation, which he coincidentally recorded. The lyrics
came later, inspired by astronauts’ documented experiences viewing our home planet.

James T. Kirk also went to space in real life. Life imitated art. On his return,
William Shatner said ‘I’m so filled with emotion about what just happened … it’s
extraordinary. I hope I never recover, that I can maintain what I feel now. I don’t
want to lose it. It’s so much larger than me and life. I am overwhelmed. I had no
idea.’ Shatner had experienced the overview effect – a cognitive shift caused by
the experience of seeing first-hand the reality of the Earth in space.

“This effect brings about profound changes in those who have undergone it, changes
others should take on board,,” explains **Peter Fitzpatrick. **“After observing 
our planet from space, astronauts feel obliged and responsible for the care of this
tiny fragile ball of life, shielded only by a paper-thin atmosphere. The cool rich
kids are going to space. It’s all the rage. Maybe we should protect what’s left 
of this planet before playing space tourists? The universe isn’t going anywhere.
The earth certainly is. Our house is on fire. Won’t someone please tell  the cool
rich kids?”

**‘Overview Effect’**

Circuit3 debuted with the[ **‘siliconchipsuperstar’ LP**](https://circuit3.bandcamp.com/album/siliconchipsuperstar)(
2018), followed by [**‘The Price Of Nothing & The Value Of Everything’**](https://circuit3.bandcamp.com/album/the-price-of-nothing-the-value-of-everything)(
2019), praised by Martyn Ware (The Human League, Heaven17). He also recently featured
on [**Rodney Cromwell ‘Opus Three’ EP**](https://open.spotify.com/track/708XU1q8xCxdhkwaNBhIU2).

For Fitzpatrick, ‘Technology For The Youth’ was the album he always hoped he would
make, constructed from the brave ambitions of forward-thinking scientists and politicians,
along with the remembered hopes, dreams and fascinations of a young Dublin boy. 
These crisp electronic pop songs and atmospheric instrumentals were created with
an enviable array of analogue synthesizers. Focused on the period before digital
synthesis, the lyrics are informed by space exploration efforts pre-dating the first
Space Shuttle.

As of June 8, ‘Overview Effect’ will be released across online platforms, including
[**Spotify**](https://open.spotify.com/artist/3UGiLPWyJg7TKetRrShGB3),** **[**Apple Music**](https://music.apple.com/ca/artist/circuit3/1005629430),
and [**Bandcamp**](https://circuit3.bandcamp.com/music). The ‘Technology For The
Youth’ LP will enter orbit on July 15, to be made available digitally as well as
vinyl (with 5 different colour options).
