Two children are aboard the ship as well.

New World Voyage is the 2016 musical debut by Bill Crandall, under the project name Místochord. NWV is a concept album with a companion 43-page digital booklet of photos, drawings, and text that evokes what it would be like for first people to leave Earth forever for another planet - the human dimension of the departure and journey, as optimism fades and the enormity of irrevocable choices sets in.

The music is atmospheric ‘space folk’, contrasting acoustic guitar and soft melodies with dissonant electronic sounds as if the music is being created on the ship. NPR called it "guitar pop for the Mars generation". Check out the article here:

The digital booklet of photos takes a fictional, abstract approach to suggesting the journey. The crew’s log of short messages transmitted back to Earth - along with the song lyrics - help illuminate their psychological state.
