about

HYPER-RAINFOREST
The Epoché Collection - vol. 1

“Behind every image, something has disappeared. And that is the source of its fascination. Behind virtual reality in all its forms [...] the real has disappeared. And that is what fascinates everyone. According to the official version, we worship the real and the reality principle, but -and this is the source of the current suspense- is it, in fact, the real we worship, or its disappearance?”
Jean Baudrillard – ‘Why hasn’t everything already disappeared?’

What a week this must've been. Though claimed to be ambivalently titled, it does supply a possible virtual context / launching pad for anyone who needs content in direct opposition to typical holiday music (warping Guaraldi's "Christmas Time is Here" and calling it "Turkey Song") More importantly is the extension of emerging technologies to create what many sought but few achieved. Also seek the original release with remixes by other incredible creators of the early 00s. Anthony Childs

Solid vibration of the surface of small breakwater is a very deep track, probably below 38Hz quite often. Sometimes it resurfaces. Mighty. flertalet
