DRAKE'S DREAM (The FILMAKERS ft. L-ROCK)

2008-03-03T06:14:36Z

Drake’s theory on the existence of intelligent life on other planets forced him to spend much time listening to radio signals from outer space. At the time, this seemed to be the only chance to contact alien life. This theory inspired Drake on his Project OZMA to attempt discovering hypothetical alien signals with the Green Bank Telescope by intercepting radio signals from outer space (1961). The American Astronomer spent one entire week listening to radio signals from the nearest stars of Tau Ceti and Epsilon Eridani. No discovery resulted from that famous experiment as he had been working on a theory based on an extremely low degree of probability, even though he never turned his dream down. According to some details of the story, it seems that Drake’s study had been so obsessive to completely shatter his private life. Gratification, for some men, is probably where others would not dare trying. Even if this meant devoting their own life to a supernatural objective. Intellectual Puppets from Holland meet The Filmakers in this original interpretation of "Drake's Dream", unreleased first video debut for "Music4AFilm" (2008).
