[START IMMEDIATELY] [RELENTLESS FOUR-ON-THE-FLOOR KICK FROM FIRST BEAT] [ROLLING PSY BASS + HYPNOTIC 303] [FEMALE — MATURE SMOKY ALTO] [Low-mid register, husky, rough-edged, completely calm] [Conversational, imperfect human phrasing] [NO breathy seduction, NO whisper-pop voice] [MALE — YOUNGER WIRY TENOR] [Anxious, slightly breathless] [MALE — NERVOUS LAUGH] No fucking way. [303 RIFF OPENS] [FEMALE — SLIGHTLY AMUSED] There it is. [PSYCHEDELIC INSTRUMENTAL] [Kick NEVER stops] [STRANGE HUMAN VOCAL FX] [Gasps, tongue clicks, falsetto yelps and reversed vowels orbit through stereo] [MALE] Something changed. [FEMALE] Nothing changed. [MALE] The colors are moving. [FEMALE] Colors don’t move. [MALE] These fucking do. [303 MUTATES] [FEMALE] Look at the wall. [MALE] Why? [FEMALE] Just look at it. [MALE — VOICE CRACKS SLIGHTLY] It’s… It’s moving. [FEMALE] No. [MALE] It’s fucking breathing. [ACID SURGE] [CHOPPED MALE SAMPLE] BREATHING— BREA-BREA— BREATHING— [CHOPPED FEMALE — LOW] Breathe. [LONG INSTRUMENTAL] [303 + rolling psy bass] [Tribal percussion] [Alien electronic chirps] [Reversed human syllables] [Kick remains relentless] [MALE — QUICKER, INCREASINGLY ANXIOUS] Ceiling’s getting higher. Floor’s getting deeper. Patterns inside patterns inside patterns— [FEMALE] Stop trying to understand it. [MALE] Sound has shape. [FEMALE] Okay. [MALE] No, listen— I can SEE the bass. [FEMALE — SMALL ROUGH LAUGH] That’s new. [PSYCHEDELIC FX ERUPT] [MALE] What do I do? [FEMALE] Nothing. [MALE] Nothing? [FEMALE] Let it happen. [303 EXPLODES] [EXTENDED ACID TRIP] [NO MAIN VOCALS] [Human gasps chopped into percussion] [Falsetto YELPS answer 303] [Tongue clicks become hi-hat accents] [Reversed vowels spiral through stereo] [MALE — DISTANT] Red… Orange… Yellow… Green… Blue… Purple… [Voices begin overlapping] [FEMALE — LOW] Don’t name them. [MALE] Why? [FEMALE] Listen to them. [MALE — NERVOUS LAUGH] I can hear the colors. [FEMALE] Now you’re getting somewhere. [HUGE PSY GROOVE] [MALE] What time is it? [FEMALE] Irrelevant. [MALE] How long has it been? [FEMALE] Irrelevant. [MALE] Where are we? [FEMALE] Right here. [MALE] Where the fuck is right here? [FEMALE LAUGHS — GENUINE, ROUGH, SHORT] [ACID RIFF GOES WILD] [PEAK PSYCHEDELIC SECTION] [NO BEAT DROP] [Kick + bass remain relentless] [Multiple acid sequences intertwine] [MALE — INCREASINGLY OVERWHELMED] The walls are breathing. The floor is breathing. The fucking LIGHT is breathing. [FEMALE — COMPLETELY CALM] And you? [MALE] What? [FEMALE] Are you breathing? [MALE TAKES ONE AUDIBLE BREATH] Yeah. [FEMALE] Good. [HUGE ACID SURGE] [LONG INSTRUMENTAL] [Human yelps become rhythmic] [Strange throat sounds] [Reversed syllables] [Liquid delays] [Tribal drums] [303 reaches screaming resonance] [MALE — SUDDENLY QUIETER] Wait. [FEMALE] What? [MALE] I think I understand. [FEMALE] That’s usually when you don’t. [MALE — SMALL NERVOUS LAUGH] Nothing’s moving. [FEMALE] Keep going. [MALE] The room isn’t changing. I am. [FEMALE — ROUGH, SATISFIED] There you go. [MAIN 303 RIFF RETURNS HARD] [FINAL PSYCHEDELIC PEAK] [Kick NEVER stops] [Rolling bass] [Acid spirals] [Human vocal fragments swirl through stereo] [MALE — DISTANT] Is it wearing off? [FEMALE] No. [MALE] Then what the hell is happening? [FEMALE — LOW, CALM, ALMOST AMUSED] You’re finally going deeper. [303 ERUPTS] [NO MORE LEAD VOCALS] [EXTENDED PSYCHEDELIC OUTRO] [Chopped female fragments: “deeper”] [Male nervous laugh becomes rhythmic sample] [Gasps + tongue clicks + falsetto yelps] [RELENTLESS KICK THROUGH FINAL BEAT]
