Seti is an ambient electronic band, which is a collaboration of Savvas Ysatis and Taylor Deupree (also credited as Taylor808). The duo formed in 1993 in New York. The term S.E.T.I. stands for the Search for Extra-Terrestrial Intelligence. This topic is the inspiration for and the central theme of the band's music. Seti’s music is ambient, with few songs containing readily apparent rhythms (those with rhythm tend toward the trip-hop–ambient-IDM genres).
