Oliver Lewis Deep listening brings visions of distant monolithic machinery, deep churning. An industrial lift descending into cavernous depths of an automated mechanical body. Fungal invertebrates shuffle and scatter, absorbing rust & plaque. The meter readouts are positive, bio rhythms intact, with a generous spoon of warm honey for the pineal gland.

AETHERIEL super trippy! awesome! thank you <3

________________________________________________

In the sterile white of the cryo-lab, a singular chamber hummed with a low, persistent thrum. Inside, Dr. Alexei Rostov, a brilliant but reclusive geneticist, lay suspended in time, encased in a sarcophagus of frosted glass and chrome. This was the moment of his reawakening, a process scientifically miraculous yet viscerally horrifying.

The chamber initiated the thawing protocol. As the temperature within slowly rose, tiny crystals of ice, nestled in every cell of Alexei's body, began their treacherous dance. The crystalline structures, once allies in preserving his life, now turned traitors, expanding and contracting with an almost malevolent unpredictability. The ice lattice strained against the delicate cell membranes, an infinitesimal battleground within his flesh.

Alexei's brain was the first to revive, kickstarted into consciousness with a jolt. Neurons fired in disarray, a cacophony of electrical impulses that dragged him from the abyss of cryogenic sleep. The sensation was akin to a thousand needles pricking his mind, an onslaught of confused signals and half-formed thoughts.

As his heart stuttered into a rhythm, a symphony of pain crescendoed through his body. It was as though his blood, thickened and sluggish from its long stasis, rebelled against its flow. Each heartbeat was a hammer blow, echoing through his veins with a ferocity that bordered on the primal.

His lungs struggled against the viscid fluid that had protected them against the freeze. Each breath was a battle, a desperate gasp for air through the mire of cryo-preservatives. It was a suffocating, drowning sensation, his body's betrayal by the very mechanisms meant to preserve it.

The revival of his senses was a torture in its own right. Light, dim though it was in the sterile chamber, lanced through his eyes like shards of glass. The recycled air carried a metallic tang that filled his mouth and nose with the taste and scent of a hospital ward long abandoned.

Sound appeared to bombard him from all angles. The low hum of machinery, inaudible to the normal ear, was a cacophony to his heightened senses. Every drip of condensation, every whir of a fan, was a symphony of foreign sounds, enveloping his brain like a wet blanket.

His mind now teetered on the brink of madness. Memories, fragmented and disjointed, swirled in a maelstrom of confusion. He remembered the cryo-project, his voluntary participation, but the details eluded him, slipping away like shadows at dawn.

As his body fought to regain its lost equilibrium, his mind waged its own war. Hallucinations danced at the periphery of his vision, shadows morphing into specters of his past. Voices whispered in his ears, echoes of conversations long since faded to silence.

Every fiber of his being screamed for release, for escape from the sensory limbo in which he found himself. But escape was a luxury he could not afford. He was a pioneer, a pathfinder in the realm of cryogenics, and his suffering was the price of progress..

To cheat death, to suspend life, was to dance with demons in the shadows of human understanding.

An experiential triad, which, to my ears, begins with a slow descent into the core of an organic sentient elemental monolith. Upon arrival at the second stage, we come into contact with a materializing network of lacerating tendrils which feeds on our physical and emotional fears, freeing us from any, discomfort or hesitation, for liberation of self during the final phase. Outside of time, space and gravity, a shifting aural realm, liminal and organic awaits.. Oliver Lewis
