✨ Giving a Voice to the Cosmos! ✨
Ambient and space rock travelers prepare for a quantum leap. My solo work at MARS Studio has always been about crafting instrumental soundscapes that take listeners on a sonic journey but on our upcoming album coming in 2026 everything changes!
I am thrilled to announce the addition of the incredible German singer Fe Malefiz whose voice will be featured on all 9 new tracks!
Her ethereal powerful vocals have added a deeply human and emotional layer to the cosmic architecture I build in my sanctuary MARS Studio. It was a transatlantic collaboration where every note was a revelation. This isn't just an instrumental album with a singer it also features additional incredible studio musicians who have joined forces in the Man and Robot Society. It is a truly unified work that redefines the sound of MARS Studio.
We can't wait for you to hear her voice soar through the nebula!
New Album Release 2026
As the last survivors of a dying Earth journey to find a new home they dream while in frozen stasis. The recordings of these dreams are the songs featured on Man and Robot Society's third album.
Featuring Fe Malefiz on vocals each recording is to be released as a single throughout 2026 and then pressed onto vinyl in early 2027.
Stay tuned and follow her hopes and fears during The Dreaming Astronauts epic migration to Kepler 432b.

Like an electron’s trip down the lanes of an ARP circuit board these excellent conceptual works will not leave you indifferent in either musical or spiritual terms.
MARS (Man and Robot Society) Bio
Man and Robot Society is a unique blend of vintage psychedelic sounds influenced by 70s America and England merged with modern electronic music. These soundscapes woven from krautrock and synth elements are infused with a futuristic aesthetic evoking otherworldly realms. With two critically acclaimed albums released on Sound-effect Records and a third one in production the band's narrative compositions transport listeners to uncharted territories of sound.
Led by visionary musician Jeff Hopp the Man and Robot Society represents a spiritual space voyage. As the former synth and bass player for several space rock bands Hopp has crafted a solo venture that weaves lush synthesizer electronic music from another world. These narrative compositions evoke the feeling of an electron’s trip down the lanes of an ARP circuit board as they take the listener on outer and inner space journeys. The result is a sonic experience that feels as if Kraftwerk came from Arizona providing a transcendent voyage that invites spiritual enlightenment within the architecture of the cosmos.
