"A challenging soundtrack by English that combines swooping drones with high-pitched electronic tones, feedback style ringing, and buzzes of radio noises, all create an unsettling accompaniment to Northey’s visual manipulations. Slow moving shapes, abstracted forms rendered as bursts of coloured static, memories of signals lost in the ether. When everything has been destroyed, when the sun transforms into a super nova and the solar system is annihilated, all that will remain are the broadcasts, getting increasingly weaker as they flow further into the universe, joining the background static. The beauty of electronic decay." - Jack Sargeant
