Conveying the post-cyberpunk spirit of Blame! as well as an arcane remembrance drawn from The Hymn of the Pearl, a Gnostic Syriac poem from the 1st–2nd century, this piece feels like the nucleation of the crystal to come.
In constant evolution, emerging from failed glitches and malfunctioning MAX/MSP devices, through shimmering, altered pipe-organ waves until ecstatic blooming.
Created in a single improvised take, Respawning as a Pearl is an intimate album, yet a reflection on the first stages of transformation, where dopaminergic discharges collide and crush the mud and dust we all inhabit.
