2. THE SYNTAKT
2. THE SYNTAKT
Rain is like the sound of trains outside your window. Looking out, you see reflections of the passing above-
ground subway and crimson tail lights. Refractions in the lingering water droplet trigger memories. Off-world
colonies and the rhythm of life, on our world and others, imagined or actual, exist at the edge of our grasp in
a blur of light-speed relativistic reality.
Bliss. The focus becomes your reality. Colors and beats create a musical tapestry in the life of the maximal
metropolis you experienced. You go back to your automated coffee-bot, who greets you with a pixelated
smile. The synthesis of emotion feels sincere, and you take the sentiment to heart. The vapors waft pleas­
ingly to the ceiling when pouring and absorb into the climate control of your cozy complex.
Now is the time. You sit at your sonic workspace and turn on the Elektron Syntakt. It breathes into life,
and the glint of red light spirits you into action. Analog synthesis meets digital synthesis. A musical cyborg
companion. Your pathfinder on a new musical journey, one both familiar and new. You begin turning knobs,
finding pleasing and even unsettling sounds. The beat starts. Pieces fall into place like a dozen meteorites
on a perfect trajectory into an unnamed expanse. Time crumbles, limitations blur, and it is just you and the
machine.
A message comes across your field of view in another space, not entirely grounded in our reality:
We thank you for joining us on this adventure. There is much to explore. This is our collective step in the
ethereal Ouroboros of a new musical epic.
