This Ambient Record has three tracks.
Random Effects depicts a world slipping into chaos as time accelerates and thought dissolves into disorder. The remnants of civilization lie in decay, where shadows and the eerie chittering of gutter worms haunt the empty streets of a once great metropolis, its grandeur long extinguished.
Bicycles, the soundtrack of a desolate future driven only by human endurance. Bicycles, now the sole means of transport, creak through abandoned streets filled with dust and silence. The echoing bells and grinding wheels evoke the rhythm of survival in a city that has lost its soul, a haunting testament to motion without purpose, life reduced to endless repetition.
Replicants are the mechanical heart of a dystopian regime. In a cold, factory-lit abyss, ranks of humanoid machines labour endlessly, their eyes void of life. Overseen from above, they produce control chips, the instruments of obedience, for a world where rebellion is met with assimilation. Together, these vignettes form a triptych of decay, endurance, and domination, tracing humanity's descent from chaos to submission in a future both alien and all too familiar.
