"you wont never fynd no beginning its long gone and far pas."
‘If we look through the aperture which we have opened up onto the absolute, what we see there is a rather menacing power--something insensible, and capable of destroying both things and worlds, of bringing forth monstrous absurdities, yet also of never doing anything, of realizing every dream, but also every nightmare, of engendering random and frenetic transformations, or conversely, of producing a universe that remains motionless down to its ultimate recesses, like a cloud bearing the fiercest storms, then the eeriest bright spells, if only for an interval of disquieting calm.”
“To push anything back into the past is equivalent to reducing it to its simplest elements. Traced as far as possible in the direction of their origins, the last fibres of the human aggregate are lost to view and are merged in our eyes with the very stuff of the universe.”3

Commissioned new work from contemporary sound practitioners and other audio choices from experimental electronic collective The Spirit of Gravity.

Episode #1:

like sky like ocean

give me more of this highway and highrise

i can't be tracked on concrete

i cant' be tracked in the summer

i can't sing your anthem

i whistle monotone for your ears

my bandwidth is brittle and made of resin

too hairy to swallow

i rummage in eternity like plastic

water is my element

i m carried by the wind once dry
