|
Endless swirls of lavender
Guide them or else
Environments fully obscured
Backed into a corner – don’t blink
Move precisely, memorize thoroughly
Alternate methods to maximum effect
Success is rewarded with punishment
Are you prepared to explode every second?

Labyrinthine Experience
01:45
|
|||
|
Metallic pipes of unknown origin
Tangled according to an unknown complexity
Levels of organization are meaningless
Expansion in this context,
likely but not well understood
Hierarchy may be visible at a distance
At this level of proximity,
a completely labyrinthine experience

Layers Via Velocity
02:07
|
|||
|
A clawing leap achieves impossible velocity
Delving through valleys upon valleys and below
Layers unfold repeatedly
Spectral limits are surpassed and quickly assimilated
Minimal details are holistic
The constant shattering is fully understood
Evolution is bypassed for the sake of velocity and imagery
|

Flora-Fauna
01:27
|
|||
|
Clouds of Purple
Emitting Sulfur
Oceans of hydrochloric acid
Oxygen is unknown
Light is incidental
The local lifeforms, all spikes and spheres
Volcanos of boiling unknown compounds
It is their food
They are fine

8. |
||||
|
Orange, Yellow, Green, Light Red, Dark Blue
Seeping and oozing for miles
Vertically, horizontally, and diagonally
Varying vastly in temperature and viscosity
Never taking a static form, ever-changing
A single-mind, incomprehensible
A planet, a liquid, a being
Seeping and oozing for miles
|
||||
9. |
Barely Formed Sentience
01:10
|
|||
|
Salient combustion emits plumes of malformed thought
Diverse and dispersed fogs of rusted cogs
Barely forming sentience before again crumbling to industry
Abandoned in a past age, yet still churning, yet still burning
Specks of incandescent pink amidst seas of obscurity
Bricks refuse to crumble, bricks defuse and stumble
A new, intermittent civilization amidst wreckage

12. |
||||
|
Kaleidoscopic patterns writhe in darkness
Disconnected images summoned from forgotten reaches
Absolute connections made from delirious illogic
A randomly generated and endless network
Distortions of disconnected experience
Falling deeper into subconscious layers
Previous activities become repetitive refrain
Visualizations and language blur
A natural, cyclical ecstasy
A process bizarre and utterly familiar
Known and unknowable to all
The gateway to rest and renewal

Dissonant, organic, ritualistic. Somehow able to conjure a sense of vastness without overwhelming walls of sound.
