Unlike contemporary media, radiophonic transmissions and their traditional mechanisms accommodate for mistakes and imperfection as part the regular experience. Things like misdialling, bad reception, crooked radio antennas, physical location of the listener... all played a part in the listening experience you are going to get.

This design flaw led to accidents; sometimes and often, happy accidents like discovering a cool unknown radio station or track. Other times, and luckily less often, these accidents were not so happy, and we'd stumble upon something that was not for us, something potentially dangerous, something hinting an alternate reality we had never considered... The resulting ominous feeling heavily contrasted with the safety and anonymity provided by radio listening itself.

This track aims to recreate the path down to a not so happy accident, in a world that has moved forward and eradicated that possibility.
