TECTON is a visual/sound piece that takes the form of a hypnotic regression of Planet Earth. Animated magma rises from deep pipes, where surfaces dissolve into slippery remembrances of alien mud. The song induces a deep dream through the magnetic traces of feedback process
Nothing seems to be quiet in the tectonic plates. Electric rushes, throbbing rhythms, and piercing sounds seduce paleontological entities into a trance. Juxtaposed layers of memory encode scars into the datamoshing timeline as the rocks tune the kinetic visual-sound channel of Gaia's unconscious
