  • I very much like this song and video. It really appeals to my brain. I can roughly guess, but since I don't know how to make music, I don't understand the metaphor. I wish I did though!

  • the piece is meant to portray a synthesizer of light. the light's process loosely resembles those employed by analog synthesizers, the type used on the track. the crystal represents the intangible as heard by the listener: a mix between the artist's personal creativity and the 'magical', unseen processes within the technology used to express his thoughts. there's magic in the fact that a single electric current can be transformed into music so provocative. that's the beauty/mystery of analog.

  • analog synthesizers are much more "hands-on" in their methods of shaping sound, with their continuously (and infinitely) variable knobs; old-school electronics not based on digital sound manipulation or computers. much like using a candle, lenses and a prism to seperate beams of light instead of... lasers?

    the video truly is an amazing piece of art.
